Investigate Prevention of
Food Sp0ilage.

With the cost of living as high as
it is, permitting good food to spoil in
transit and in the hands of dealers is
more noticeably wasteful than ever
before. Yet great deal of food is
constantly lost in that way. In order
to prevent as much of it as possible,
the United States Department of
Agriculture has made extensive lab
oratory studies of the bacteria that
produce spoilage, have developed
methods of control through santa
tpn, sterilization, dehydration, and
refrigeration and is putting them in
operation on a commercial scale. The
work already done includes methods
of handling, cooling, packing, and
shipping eggs; the preceding Of
plants together with model refriger-
orator cars, and methods of killing,
dressing, packing, and shipping, TO
permit small shippers of dressed
chickens and turkeys to secure the
minimum of spoilage; methods of
preventing spoilage in commercially
canned tomatoes, catsup, tomato pulp,
and similar articles; improved meth
DDS of handling, packing, and ship
ping shrimp and sardines and best
methods of shipping fresh fish to in
land cities. Investigations are I'm
der way for improvement of meth
DDS in canning salmon. Expert
ments are being conducted, also, with
a view to developing methods Of dry
ing fruits and vegetables that will
preserve the delicate flavor of the
original products and to establish
permanent drying industry in tire
United States.

oak He takes hundred years, but
He takes only two months to make a
squash"
How applicable the anecdote is to
salesmanship-the squash salesman
and the old oak boy-what a con-
trast, and caused solely by studious
application or the lack of it.
So many "would-be" statesmen de-
lude themselves with the thought that
knowledge of the price book is all
that is necessary for them to take
their place up with the drum major
they somehow or other seem to
know all the rest of it before they
start.
If the only requisite to selling was
knowledge of the price book-we'd
sell goods by mail--fact is, a good
letter has got travelling price list"
beaten mile.
Selling-and above all in our game
is Accomplished with the noodle
not the feet plus a few stereotyped
sales arguments, which method is
the only one used by statesmen of the
"godrd" variety
| Precedent means nothing to the
"squash"-he just keeps swelling up
on nothing-emits a rather pleasing
but hollow sound when tapped and,
when bumped little, BUSTS and
discloses the fact of his nobody
home" condition.
The old oak salesman steadily,
sturdily-t though slowly-keeps on
growing in wisdom, ability and pros
branching up into the air
not crawling along on the ground
and able through his strength to
withstand the assaults launched
against his sturdy trunk by pesky
P AS whose duty it is to differen-
tate between the bunk and the real
goods in craftsmanship.
Once they stub their toe on the old
oaks bark the rest is easy-they sit
back and all that's left to do is sign
'em up.
I Remember that wee bit Of know
ledge is a durn risky thing to tote
around-add to your small store con-
stantly, at least to the point of get
ting past the danger sign after this
gaining knowledge becomes a habit
having reached this stage you are in
the "Quartered Oak" class.
Show your grain-DON'T BE A

WHAT CAUSES A TOWN TO DIE

More towns die for want of conf
dence on the part of business men and
lack of public spirit than from the
rivalry of neighboring towns or adj
verse surroundings, says a writer IN
a western paper. This is true.
When a man in search of home or
a business location goes to town
and finds it brim full of hope and
enthusiasm over the prospects of the
place and earnestly at work to build
up the town, he soon becomes imbued
with the same spirit, and as result
he drives his stakes and goes to
work with the same interest. When,
however, he goes to town and every
one expresses doubt and apprehen-
sion of the prosperity of the place,
moving about and indulging in mourn
full complaints about imaginary evils
which are likely to befall the town,
he feels that it is no place for him,
and shakes the dust from his feet,
while. he departs with all possible
speed for some other town. Try and
make live, enterprising, progress
sive town out of the one in which you
live. When you are working for or
saying good thing for your town
you are accomplishing good thing
for yourself.
We were in the country this week
and while the golden rod is beauti-
full and the niggerhead with its black
center blowing in the breeze is pic
ture to delight, to dwell upon, the
thistles just ready to spread their
down over the verdant fields, the bust
ing milkweed rods with their feather
trimmed seeds delight the eye. And
while all this is true we are not a
little surprised that the farm owner
along these roads will grow thistles,
milkweeds, dogweeds, and all kinds of
obnoxious weeds to go to seed and be
scattered to the four winds, when a
few hours work would save him days
and days of labor next season in
blowing them up.
The man who wrestles with the COW
and learns the calves to suck, who
casts the corn before the swine, is
now in the greatest luck, for buffers
on the upper grade, veal's higher than
a kite, pork is climbing up the scale
and beef is out of sight; eggs he gath
ers every day from his Poland chicken
coop are almost worth their weigh,

careful campaign was mapped out
for the purpose of educating gas
users to the value Of conserving the
fuel in their own interests as well
as the interests OF the producers,
and therefore they made and estab-
lished the following regulation, sub
ject to general or special modifica-

1.-The abuse OF natural gas in any
wasteful manner is hereby prohibit

ITO burn more natural gas than is
reasonably necessary for the purpose
which it is intended to serve, or to
consume natural gas in any other
manner which is not reasonably eff
cient and economical. Licensees are
hereby directed to report to the

all cases where consumers persist
in the wasteful use of natural gas"

divers weights and divers measures
both of them alike are abomination
to the Lord. Proverbs, 20:10.
Thinking men and women will do
we'll to consider the striking argu
ments brought out by the World
Trade Club of San Francisco in their
campaign for adoption of the units of
the metric system of weights and
measures.
They show a striking anomaly:
That the metric system was invented
by Briton, James Watt, in 1888, and
yet all civilized nations have adopted
it exclusively, excepting the United
States and Great Britain.
That the so-called British system"
of weights and measures is of German
origin-a relic of the old German
Hanseatic trade league-and yet Ger
many scrapt it in 1871 and adopted
the metric system, invented by a
Briton.
People of Britannia and America
may well ask themselves whether they
are not carrying conservation too far.
The Metric System is no untried
theory.
Its principle-the principle of dec
imal computation-has been used in
the monetary system of the United
States since 1886. If the United
States had needed Thomas jefferson,
we should also have adopted this sys-
tenn of weights and measures based
on decinals-so simple system that
child can learn its main features
in ten minutes. We know how we'll
it works with money. 1t win work
equally well with weights and meas
ures.
The World Trade Club has started
the ball rolling. What we all need
is to look the subject up.
