TO EXTEND TO OTHER CITIES

A true cooperative market In the
District of Columbia, wherein the
people may purchase produce sent
here by farmers of Maryland and
Virginia by parcel post. liz the dream
of Harry II. Biilany, fourth assistant
postma ster general. according to an
article printed In the Warrington Star
yesterday. The Star. article continues
~ follows:

that an extension of the plan might
be worked out in the national capital.
Washington would offer an IDEAL
place for a try y-out OF such a market,
the fourth assistant postmaster gem
ersi believes. His plan is for a gen
crai market In charge OF an official or
group OF officials who would nave the
entire trust OF the farmers.
By parcel post the producers in
nearby Maryland and Virginia might
send their eggs. butter and other
foodstufTs to Washington and con-
sumers come TO buy with the assur-
snce that they were being treated
properly In every way.
''The trouble now lies in the fact
that farmers are suspicious OF the
city buyers and the city consumers
are wary of the farmers who offer to
send their produce by parcel post,
declared Mr.. Billany.
"lf we could establish mark Ell
under proper supervision, the middle

farmer and consumer would he able
10 deal with each other on plane
free from suspicion, owing 10 the
equal trust which each would have in
the market supervisor or super
Nisors."
Assurance Is Sought.
Almost unheard prices for butter
and other foodstuffs reach the depart

tiou to city prices. but the difficulty
in making sale lies in the fact that no

One of the prime functions of such

that the city consumer who wished TO
