CUSTOMERS SECURED
FOR POULTRY SHOWS
Persons at Summer Resorts Buy
Produce in Winter.
City People Have Inspected Producers
Farm and Know Under What Con-
ditions Foodstuffs Are Raised
One Case Cited.

Many producers living near summer
resorts supply produce in the summer
months to the persons at the resorts,
and during the other months of the
year ship produce to these persons
while they are In the city. This. say
marketing specialists of the United
States Department Of Agriculture. is
one Of the best methods of obtaining
customers for direct marketing. as the
producer and consumer have some ac-
quaintance. In most instances the GUS
toners have been at the producers
farm and know under what conditions
the articles are produced.
One man who lives near a summer
resort in Indiana is about twelve miles
from the nearest town of any size. He
does not desire to drive to this town to
dispose Of his farm produce and is not
satisfied with the prices that the buck
sters pay. Consequently he built up a
business of supplying products to re-
sorters In the summer and of shipping
produce by parcel post and express to
these persons at their city homes In
the winter.
The principal products shipped are
butter, eggs and dressed poultry. This
producer uses good shipping containers
and packs produce attractively. AS he
Is acquainted with his customers, he
renders statements of accounts only
once month. In this way the matter
Of making payments Is slmpliGed for
the customers.
This producer has had no trouble in
establishing his business nor in retain
Ing customers. He states that his only
trouble has been in getting enough
high-grade produce to supply all of his
customers.

"Come here, Gregory" said his wife
in cold, little voice.
"In moment, DEAR" he said, going
to his own trunk in the corner. He
searched it thoroughly and was re-

this in his hand he came back to the
hearth-rug and sat down beside her.
She was playing with the contents of
her jewel box; suddenly something fell
to the floor and Gregory picked it up

LIVED IN PHANTOM WORLD
deavored to Order Existence Like
the Characters She Created.

Louise de la Rance, author Of "Un-
der Two Flags" better known by her
nom de plume, "Ouida," lived In a
world of her own creation, peOpled
with men and women of royal titles
and wealth who had mansions and
palaces and undreamed of luxury. But
she invested this phantom world with
a semblance Of life and often with
certain poetry, says w. III. Mallock in
Harper's Magazine.
In some ways she was more strik-
ing than her books. In her dress she
was ian attempted exaggeration of the
most exaggerated Of her own female
characters" She occupied large
villa near Florence for many years.
and during that time she visited Lon
don only once, and then she depicted
herself to herself as a parsonage Of
European influence charged with a
mission to secure the appointment Of
Lord Lytton as British ambassador
to Paris.

of the fire behind and the sobbing girl
beside him.
The ride had sOothed her hysteria,
they had talked like old friends, and
after while he left her at q large
house where distracted relatives
thanked him effusively and invited him
within. He had declined.
For the first time in his young life
he loved, and he wanted to 60 away
and think about it. He never saw her
again and had never been able to 10

The veil and the buckle he treasured

them.
Tonight he would burn them-but
this resolution was dashed by tele-
phone call--hurried consultations and
such WEAKNESS that obliterated 1t from
his memory. The letter case and the
mementos were packed In his trunk
and accompanied him on his wedding

The waning of the honeymoon found

Ethel, but there was cloud on her

doubt came burning jealousy.
They were both unhappy.

Gregory dug out an old letter case and

of the night in his fledgling days.
The pink veil had been twisted about
her fair hair, and the odd buckle of
pearls and brilliants he had found in
his cart must have dropped from her
little satin slipper. That was his share
of her-all he had.
He did not even know her name, yet

BARIUM POISONOUS TO RATS
Tests Indicate That a 20 Per Cent
Mixture With Food Makes Most
Satisfactory Bait.

A study of barium carbonate as a
rat poison, made by the United States
Department of Agriculture, indicates
that 20 per cent mixture with food
makes q satisfactory bait. With this
percentage rat ordinarily needs to
eat only one-third or three-eighths Of
a meal of average size to get fatal
dose. 1t was found that with this dose
many Of the rats poisoned died with
In "a hours. though an occasional rat
was found which survived an even
larger amount, thus indicating that
100 per cent mortality Is not to be ex-
pected In any case.
A summary OF results Of expert.
ments CONDUCTED by various persons
with view to determining the dead
Illness of barium to different animals
shows the fallacy Of the assumption
that barium Is poisonous only to rats.
1t is pointed out that the fatal dose
Of barium per pound tends to decrease
relatively as the size Of the animal
increases, and that a bait calculated
to be fatal to rats may be assumed to
be more or less dangerous to small
domestic animals also.
