ParceI.Post Package Well Wrapped and Addressed.

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 and
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 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-
b,es," 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
il 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 adaptability to this work. If
routine and detailed work is distaste-
full to him he may never learn how to
keep up 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
business relationship is a 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 well as the
producer should do his part in these
matters.

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 di-
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 small percentage of the
farm produce that goes to mar
ket. 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 922, parcel Post Business
Methods" gives detailed sugges-
tons regarding means of obtain
ing customers and methods of
carrying on business, with sam
pies of suitable letterheads,
bills, order blanks and 1cler
business forms.

Find Steel LadIe in Oak Tree.

A steel ladle, seven inches long, sup
posed to have been used by Indians in
melting lead for bullets many years
ago, was found imbedded in the heart
of a red oak tree sawed up for fire
wood at South Altoona, Pa. Rings on
the tree indicate that it was more than
one hundred years old. The ladle, made
Of the finest charcoal steel, is believed
to have been driven into the tree when
1t was sapling.

II don't know just what it means. L
would like to have that explained"
"Wken you are Gown-hearted you
are sad, and was afraid you were be-
coming sad hearing so much about
folks who didn't like u.s."
"Oh, now 1 see" said Mrs. Bull
Snake. "Well, I won't become fown-
hearted then because you said You had
pleasant news for me. But what are
cheerful tidings? l know what cheer
full means, but how about tidings? Do
you mean something good to eat?"
mo" laughed Mr.. Bull Snake,
cheerful tidings are about the same
as good news and 1 will tell you the
pleasant story l have to tell you, right
away"
Mrs. Bull Snake wriggled in COM
Portable position and said, II am ready
to hear, Mr.. Bull Snake" SO he com-
menced: ~ have been feeling sad for
some time over the way folks dldn
like snakes. 1t seemed to me rather
hard on the snakes as I've SAID be-
fore. There are so many harmless
snakes and we shouldn't suffer for the
| bad ones.
"Wel, I was becoming sorrowful,
mournful and depressed (and all OF
those words mean the same as sad),
when I heard of a farmer near here
who wrote letter to he published in
all the papers round these parts. Pa
pers, my dear Mrs. Bull Snake, are
things people read where they learn
what IS going on In the world-they
read the news, in short.
"Now this farmer wrote to all the
papers and he said that folks shouldn't
kill the bull snakes in these parts be-
cause we did lot of good in Destroy
ing the gophers and mice which would
hurt the alfalfa. You know the alfalfa
| Is the grass or clover or whatever they
call it which is all about us and which
is fed to the animals. 1t is very deli
cious. the animals think, and it is very
good for them. We protect this food
| for them and the farmer wrote that
we should be protected too. He also
said that we were good, well-behaved
snakes. Isn't 1t fine to have someone
appreciate us?"
"Splendid," said Mrs. Bull Snake,
land it makes me feel like working all
the harder to protect the alfalfa or
clover for the good, kind farmer who
said such nice things about u.s."
And they both went to sleep, dream
Ing sweet dreams of the kind farmer
who liked them.

NEW GYMNASTIC
SYSTEM MAY BE
PLACED IN Y. w.

A new system OF gymnastic work
may be introduced at the Young
Women's Christian association that
will be of great permanent benefit
to every girl as an individual. as
the result of a conference which
was attended by DR.. Phoebe Pear
sail at New York City recently.
The executive board at a meeting
yesterday afternoon heard DR.
PearsalIs report and her suggested
plans that the gymnastic work be
so as to meet the individ-
ual needs of every girl who avails
herself Of the association training.
This would include certain setting
up exercises to correct any weak
ness or defect as a weak ankle,
stopped shoulders, etc, while get
ting the general benefits OF the
gymnastic work.
The conference on which DR..
Pearsall reported was called by the
Y. ". c. A. at New York City and
was for women doctors the world
over. many coming from the var
ious countries OF Europe, from
Japan, China, Uruguay, etc, and it
was a peculiar thing that the jap
anese woman physician was the
only one who had a perfect foot.

CHAMBER BODY
VOTES To keep
ON With WORK
Board OF Directors Takes 0ptimIS-
tic View Of Future and
viii Continue Service.

The Rock Island Chamber Of
Commerce will continue its service
to this city.
Taking an optimistic view Of the
future and showing a commendable
spirit of carry on" the board Of
directors of the chamber last night
voted against liquidation and to-
day set out on plans to raise $1,000,
the sum lacking in the fund neces-
sary to the life of the commercial
organization during the ensuing
year.
Some time ago the chamber found
that through the greatly increased
expenses resulting from campaigns
and other work in connection with
the war, a fund in excess of that
outlined in its original budget when
reorganization took place, was nee
essary. In addition to this there
were some pledged Of membership
which were not paid. Recently an
accounting was decided upon to
determine the future course Of the
chamber and a number of leading
citizens contributed toward the
fund to place the organization
financially on its feet.
The report made to the board OF
directors last night disclosed that
only $1,000 more is needed to give
practical assurance of the contin-
uation Of the organization.
I'VE expect to raise the balance
needed" H. H. CIeaveland. presi-
dent stated today. I'VE are look
ing ahead on the future with OPP
timism and we feel reasonably
sure we will obtain the necessary
sum"
Plans were laid at the meeting
Of the board of directors last night
to entertain the Mississippi valley
committee of the Chicago Associa-
ton of Commerce which will be
here on Oct. "a on a tour Of Mis-
sissippi valley cities. There will
be 40 in the party and the men will
be entertained with a dinner at the
Rock Island club.
