DIRECT DEALING

Housewives appreciate receiv.
ing farm produce which they
know to be fresh. Many farm
ers within $50 miles of cities
have regular supplies of high
grade produce. the quality of
which they can guarantee. The
parcel post offers a means of d.
rect dealing between producer
and consumer, with profit to
both.
Parcel-post shipments are in
creasing in number, though
probably they always will affect
only a small percentage of the
farm produce that goes to mar
8et. Dealing by parcel post sue
ceeds if the farmer is careful
to keep up the quality Of his pro-
duce, packs it safely and attrac-
lively, and meets his engage
ments promptly-always suppos-
Ing that the consumer also OBJ.
serves business methods in the
transaction.
The United States department
OF agriculture's Farmers Bulle.
tin 1922, "Parcel Post Business
!. Methods" gives detailed sugges.
lions regarding means Of obtain.
Ing customers and methods of
carrying on business, with sam.
pies of suitable letterheads,
bills, order blanks and other
business forms.

printed stationery bearing the name
Of the farm, with envelopes to match.
If the farm is not named an appropri-
ate name should be selected. A SIM
pie, though attractive and businesslike
letterhead can be printed without
much cost. 1t should give the name
and location of the farm, the farmers
name, and a simple statement of the
business. Elaborate and highly COL
ored letterheads embellished with illus
trations of buildings, fruits or animals
should be avoided.
Blank statement forms or invoices
to fill in and inclose with shipments
should be. supplied. Persons receiving
produce by mail wish to know the
price Of the shipment, and by the use
of printed statement forms the ship
per can furnish this information with.
out much trouble.
Labelling Parcels.
Each parcel must bear the name ard
address of the shipper, the name and
address of the person for whom in.
tended, and the nature of the con-
tents, such as "Fragile" or "Perish.
able" AS tags frequently are torn off,
it is best to have this information
written or stamped directly on the
outer wrapper or container. If the
only mark of identity of producer and
consumer is on a tag and the tag is
lost, the parcel can neither be deliv-
cred nor returned to the sender.
Producers who have business enough
to Justify them may secure gummed
labels worded somewhat as follows:
From
Fair View Farm,
John Brown, Proprietor,
Blank, Virginia.
PERISHABLE.
EGGS.
The wording may be changed to suit
the product shipped, changing Eggs"
to Poultry" Butter" or "vegeta-
bles," and "%Perishable" to Fragile"
as the case may require.
These labels, if properly applied,
should not come off. They will serve
as an advertisement and may result in
inquiries from other customers.
Business Relations With Customers.
Once contact has been made and
shipping begun it is important that
proper business relations be estab-
lished and maintained, for on these de-
pend success. The difficulty frequently
met in obtaining the first order makes
it important for the producer to use
businesslike methods to retain the
trade that he secures.
Whether a person is successful in
parcel-post marketing depends largely
on his a%daptability to this work. If
routine and detailed work is distaste-
full to him he may never learn how to
keep up a business relationship. Thou
sands of persons who have been sue
cessful in obtaining customers have
been unsuccessful in keeping them.
The most important feature in a
business relationship is q square deal.
Good grading of produce, strict bust
ness honesty, prompt attention to cor
respondence and orders, and satisfac.
tory adjustment of complaints are
needed. The consumer as we'll as the
producer should do his part in these
matters.

Australia Has Plans.

By United Press.
PARIS, Jan. 1S.-Australia as a
free and Independent nation has
shown it's own peace demands for
consideration at the peace confer
ence, Premier Hughes told repre-
sentative of the United Pres stoday.
Australia considers that it has
won its independence on the battle-
field and politically it stands now
where the United States stood at
the end OF the revolution.
1T is in this spirit that Australia
enters the peace conference with it's
own program. The recognition of
the Tritish dominions by the peace
cong. IS marks the dawn OF a new
era" he said.
This is taken to mean that while
he recognizes that Australia, Can
ada, South Africa, Ne wzealand and
India are autonomous nations, tied
only by sentiment to the mother
land.
Our fighting record surpasses
that Of any other nation and now
we want elf-determination," he
says.

"I Beat Him to It." Says Pill

"He started to pull his gun and l

in the county jail this morning, in
speaking of the shooting that oc-
Cured in the public road about five
miles south of Rush Springs yester-
day and which ended the life of II.
w. Graham.
The trouble that led up to the
shooting, Pilgrim stated dated back
several weeks to time when he
had taken up some of Graham's
stock under The herd law. The
stock had trespassed and had Leen
eating Pilgrims feed and two
yearling calves were in his field
yesterday, Pilgrim stated, aiding
that he was going to put them up
when he met Graham in the road

He pulled his glove off his right

From Pilgrims story, it seems
that the trouble has been brewing
since last spring when they traded
horses, in which transaction Gra-
ham apparently was out-traded.
He was pretty mad about that
horse trade, but went right on
meeting him and speaking to him.
He spoke to me, too, but after |
put up his yearlings several weeks
ago, he has not spoken to me-" said
Pilgrim.
Waits for Officers.
After the shooting Pilgrim re-
turned to his home and waited |
there until officers from Rush |
Springs came for him. He was
brought to Chickasha last night on
the FREELY by Deputy Sheriff Dry
den and lodged in the county jail. |
Early this morning the charge
against him had not been filed but
it was expected that through the |
county attorneys office the charge
would be filed during the day and
the date of his preliminary hearing
set.
Pilgrim is a man of about 80 !
years of age, is married and his
family consists of a wife and two
children Graham was about As
years of age and had family. Both
were renters.
Pilgrim said that when the shoot |
ing occurred, Graham "had a gun
on but that after the killing. Mrs. |
Graham came and removed the gun.
