Size of Barrels Causes Confusion

(PetersburE Report)
 During the past season In that of 1918, con siderable derstandine and difficulty has ariser lin the herring trade owing to the practice of some Alaska packers of using 200-lb salmon barrels for herring and of basng the count on the number contained in such barrels. without definitely sating in dealing with buyers. This in many cases has given buyers impression that the fish were of 9 certain seize, when arrival they were found to be considerably smaller, which has tended to make buyers suspicious of Alaska herring in general After a great deal of experimenting and study of requ,rements the 2O0-lb barrel had been adopted as the suitable package for hard salted salmon, and become standard for this purpose It was never designed as q herring package, and herring packed in these barrels much less in demand than those in the 250-b. Scotch style barrels. The latter is the only package known to the trade as a herring barrel and should alone be used in packing her ring for the Eastern market, the use Of the salmon barrel for this purpose being avoided far pos lsibls The count of herring in all cases should be based on the Scotch style barrel. Complaint has been made of the of the 2OO-lb barrel as a ba- Isis for count even in where the fish were packed in 250-lb barrels which in effect was ac- tual misrepresentation, whether intended not such practice is bound to react unfavorably on the Alaska herring industry and should be discouraged. and if for any reason 1t is necessary to base the count on salmon barrel the basis should be def- nitely stated in negotiating with buyers.

 Lots of women can converse flu ently in five languages. But mighty few women can keep silent in one language.
 If a girl wants to attract attention she should be different and appear on the street wearing her own nat ural complexion.
 Now that there is nothing to put into it, what is going to become of the oldest tad who spent his entire life trying to invent an non-refillable bottle?
 Do not get married, young man, un less you are prepared to spend a whole lot of time apologizing to your wife for something she did to you If a girl will eat mess of raw onions she won't need a chaperor when she goes out with man. Once in a while Nature makes { mistake and places woman's knees where her ankles ought to be. About the time when the oid-fash toned little girl was beginning tt wear pinafores the modern little gir is beginning to wear corsets. Why is it that when you put $10( suit on a ten-cent man he will keel right on looking like a ten-cent man One of the surest things we know | is that the girl who marries mar she can't love is almost certain tt love some man she can't marry.

Marion, O.-(Special.) )-Warren G..
Harding was officially notified here of
his nomination as the Republican can
didate for the presidency. His speech
Of acceptance is. in part, as follows:
Chairman Lodge, members Of Motif
cation Committee, members of National
Committee, ladies and gentlemen: The
message which you have formally con-
veyed brings to me a realization Of
responsibility which is not underesti-
mated. 1t is a supreme task to inter-
pret the covenant of a great political
party, the activities of which are so
woven into the history of this repub-
lie, and a very sacred and solemn
undertaking to utter the faith and as
pirations of the many millions who
adhere to that party. The party plat
form has charted the. way, yet, some
how, we have come to expect that in
depreciation which voices the faith Of
nominees who must assume specific
tasks.
Let me be understood clearly from
the very beginning. l believe in party
sponsorship in government. l believe

privilege to see that Che sacrifices
made shall be requitted, and that those
still suffering from casualties and dis
abilities shall be abundantly aided and
restored to the highest capabilities Of
citizenship and it's enjoyment.
Advocates Woman Suffrage.
The womanhood OF America. always
its glory, its inspiration and the potent.
uplifting force in it's social and spir-
itual development, is about TO be en-
franchised. In so far as congress can
go. the fact is already accomplished.
BY party edict by my recorded vote,
BY personal conviction am committed
to this measure of justice. 1t is my
earnest hope, my sincere desire that
the one needed state vote be quickly
recorded in the affirmation Of the right
Of equal suffrage and that the vote Of
every citizen shall be cast and counted
in the approaching election.
And TO the great number Of noblo
" omen who have opposed in convic-
tion this tremendous change in the
ancient relation of the sexes as ap-
piled to government, l venture to plead
that they will accept the full respon-
slbility Of enlarged citizenship and give
to the best in the republic their suf-
frage and support.
Ours is not only a fortunate people
but a very common-sensical people,
with vision high but their feet on the
earth, with belief in themselves and
faith in God. Whether enemies threat
en- from without or menaces arise
from within, there is some indefnable
voice saying, Have confidence in the
republic! America will go On!"

in party government as distinguished
from personal government, individual,
dictatorial, autOcratic or what not.
No man is big enough to run this
great republic. There never has been
one. Such domination was never in
tended. Tranquility, stability, depend
ability-all are assured in party spOn-
sorship, and we mean to renew the as
surances which were rended in the
cataclysmal war.
Our first committal is the restOra-
tion of representative popular govern
ment, under the constitution, through
the agency of the Republican party.
Our vision includes more than chief
executive, we believe in a cabinet OF
highest capacity, equal to the responsi-
bilities which our system cOntem-
plates. in whose councils the vice
president, second official Of the repub-
lie. shall be asked 10 participate. The
same vision includes a cordial under
standing and co-ordinated activities
with a house of Congress, fresh from
the people, volcing the convictions
which members bring from direct CON
tact with the electorate, and cordial
co-oneration along with the restored
functions of the senate, ft to be the
greatest deliberative body OF the
world. -s-''-' '''
international Relationship.
: IT is not difficult, Chairman Lodge
m make ourselves clear on the ques-
ton of international relationship
We Republicans Of the senate, con-
scious of our solemn oaths and mind
full of our constitutional obligauons'
when we saw the structure OF
world super-government taking vls-
ionary form, Joined in a becoming
warning of our devotion TO TINS re-
public. If the torch of constitutional
ism had not been dimmed, the delayed
peace of the world and the tragedy ol
disappointment and EurOpe's misuh-
derstanding of America easily might
have been avoided. The Republicans
of the senate halted the barter OF IN
dependent American eminence ana IN
fuence. which it was proposed to eX-
change for an obscure and unequai
place in the merged government OF the
world. Our party means to hold the
heritage Of American nationality uh-
impaired and unsurrendered.
The world will not misconstrue. we
do not mean to hold aloOf. We do not
mean to shun a single responsibility
of this republic to world civilization.
There is no hate in the American
heart We have no envy, no suspicion
no aversion for any people in the
tsorld. We hold to our rights. ana
mean to defend, aye, we mean to susi
tain the rights of this nation and our
citizens alike, everywhere under the
shining sun. Yet there is the concord
of amity and sympathy and fraternity
in every resolution. There is genu-
inc aspiration in every American
breast for a tranquil friendship Win
all the world
One may readily sense the con-
science of our America. l am sure
1 understand the purpose Of the dom
inant group of the senate. we Were
not seeking to defeat a world aspira
ton. we were resolved to safeguard
America. We were resolved then' even
as we are today, and will be tomor-
row. to nssferxe this free ana lnce
pendent republic.
