Where Appearance Counts.

1t has been shown that the con.
sumner can not expect to receive pro-
duce by parcel post at price much
lower than the local retail price.
The producers appeal to customers,
therefore. is largely through the
quality and appearance of his pro-
duce. The consumer has come to
expect a uniform product and will
not be satisfied shipment of mis-
cellaneous ungraded produce. AS
the sending of anything but high.
grade material will result in failure
TO retain trade, aud as many persons
have discontinued ordering produce
bv parcel post because they receiv-
ed one shipment that was uhsatis
factory in quality, it is better for a
producer TO reject an order than to
send such goods. The produce
should be uniform in size, color,
and quality and should be packed
so that the contents and container
will carry properly, arrive in good
condition, and present a satisfacto ry
appearance
Quality is very important, but
probably more produce is judged
by appearance than by quality
Some farmers are prone to think of
the likes and dislikes of the pur
chaser as whims and fancies, where
as a business principle, he should
endeavor to cater to the desires OF
his customers. Ii is known tn at
white eggs sell better in New York
while brown eggs bring a premiu II
in Boston. The average farmeI
cares little whether eggs are white
or brown, but this indifference
should not govern what he sends to
customers.

The End of a CHAPTER.

The Congress whose work is about
to close met with the most severe
test of American history. 1t was
called upon by its magnificent lead
er. President Wilson, to challenge
the worlds greatest military power.
in declaration of war that went
counter to all American traditions
of non-intervention in Europe.
The prevailing sentiment of the
people at that time was one of great
reluctance to enter this terrible
conflict.
Politically speaking. these Con
eressmen took quite a chance when
they followed the lead of MIR. Will
son. 1t was by no means certain
that the people as whole would
approve the war. LIT, as predict
ed at the time by the Democrat,
laying aside all doubts and fears,
Congress responded with substan-
tial unanimity to the splendid call
of its leader. and acted as con
science and honor dictated.
1t was hot merely a splendid
vindication of American idealism.
1t was superb display of party
cohesion and loyalty. The respon-
sibility was up to the Democratic
party. 1t rose to the occasion and
vindicated itself ard America. The
war was won in a much shorter
time than military experts believed
possible The task to be achieved
constantly grew more vast. At
first it was thought only a naval
force need be sent out. Five
months after, the outside demand
for troops in Europe was about
100000.
The collapse of Russia changed
the whole situation. 1t made il
necessary all in a minute to change
over the entire plan and remodel il
on an infinitely greater scale. The
marvel of the achievement is meas
ured by the tremendous difficult
of the obstacles. So this Congress
goes down to history as having &C
complished the impossible, and ere.
ated the great body of war leeisla.
ton that made prompt victory pos
sible. In the face of these great
deeds, let criticism be silent.

Automobile Industry.

In April 1900, the largest auto
mobile company then in existence.
announced in one of the automobile
journals of that date, that they were
manufacturing automobiles at the
rate Of almost two complete ma
chimes a week. says j. F. George.
local dealer in Chevrolet passenger
automobiles and trucks.
Compared with the present scale
of prodution the above statement
seems almost incredible. especially
when you stop to consider that it
was only nineteen years ago. To-
day the automobile industry is the
third largest industry in the coun-
try. 10 it are employed over S00.-
600 workers with 10000 dealers
and $4,000 garages. Closely affilia-
ted with it are 1000 manufacturers
of tires, parts and other accessories.
AS soon as industrial conditions be-
come more settled the production
Of the most popular makes of motor
cars will run up into the thousands
weekly.
The steady development and in
creasing use of the automobile has
been marvellous, but not magical.
For it has rightfully earned its pop
ularity through the sheer merit Of
its performances. The automobile
was brought out to fulfill world
need for more efficient and adequate
transportation. Ii has met that
need most completely. Its utility
has exceeded even the greatest ex-
pectations of both its inventors and
its users.
But it took the war 10 reveal the
full worth of the automobile as a
transportation utility. And the dis
covery of its indispensable value as
a time, labor and money saver in
all lines of business and in all
character of human endeavor, is do
ing much to popularlze its use as a
common carrier for all classes of
people in all sections of the country.
The automobile has contributed
great deal. either directly to every
one The efficiency standards of in
dustries and business the country
over have been materially increased
through its aid. The farmer, who
only few years ago accepted the
automobile with hesitation aud
doubt, would quit farming today if
he was deprived of the invaluable
aid of the motor car. the auto
mobile has helped much in the past,
is helping more today and as its
numbers multiply, so will its use
fulness.

MiIk'S Value to Children .

No more convincing proof of the
value of milk in the diet of chill
dren can probably be found than in
the results of experiments conduct
ed for several months by the home
demonstration agent in Manatee
County, Fla She has weighed and
measured over 1900 children. and
has found that those weighing and
measuring up TO the standard. or a
little above. are almost without ex-
ceptiOn receiving a great deal of
milk. The children much under
the standard have been receiving
little or no milk. Carving the ex-
pertinent further underweight chill
dren began almost Immediately to
show gains when milk was added
to their diet. With such evidence
as to the value of milk it is not sur
priSine that Manatee County has
more dairy cows now than year
ago. and the number is rapidly in
creasing The results Of this ex-
pertinent are being used as one of
the arguments in State wide
campaign for more dairy cows,

LETTER FROM FRANCE.

Chaumont, France, May II, 10.
Mr.. P. D. Broussard, New Iberia:
My dearest Dad-Today has been set
aside, and called Mothers Day" for
every membe,: of the A. E. F. Each and
every boy of the force has to write
home, but Of course, was one of the un-
lucky that my dear mother was called
away from rs so soon.
But, I am indeed grateful that have
. father and he grows dearer to me, ~
age and time is bestowed upon rs both.
Dear dad just think how hard moths.
would have taken it to send me off to the
battle fields. Had she lived to see it all,
but am sure she would have been just
a. proud As every mother in the Grand
U. s. A. should feel to-day, that she had
SON to defend the world against the
claws of Germany, who 30 evii-minded
thought that they would conquer and
eventually rule the world.
To-day 1.-THE Text Of Treaty" has
been written out and handed her to b
signed, and I am indeed glad I lived to
see, just what the price Of her Wal
would be.
The terms put up to her are very rigid
but nothing il too severe for such heart
less people Is they. Just stop for mo-
ment and think, if we had to sign he'
treaty. What it would mean to the
Allies. Why, she would ask for shs
whole world!
Her country is not crippled, her MAJ
ufactures are still standing. Her mine'
are still in operation, why not impose il
on her, 50 that she would shiver 1t tn
sound of the word War.
Dad, the whole thing is over now, ane
