overdue, but there is three years accumulated in

good deal of current agitation does say, that
should collect this money, but every business
knows that cannot collect it now, and that not
more than one two of debtors could pay now.
IF the administration gets the authority which it is

change the form of these debts including interest into
longtime bonds at reasonably low rate of interest

Then there is the matter of packing. American
firms in few cases seem have thought that their
Venezuelan customers giving them detailed and
specific instructions to packing merely for fun
for want OF something better to do. So they con-
tinued to send their goods in the usual way and as
the old tale goes the foreman OF the shipping de-
partment told his assistant to put few nails
in these cases-they're for export"
Now the chances arc usually about an elephant
to a peanut that when Venezuelan firm specifies
certain way of packing there is definite for
it In the first place. the tariff laws of Venezuela

Ii Venezuelan merchant wants goods shipped to
him in bulk and the containers sent separately it is
because in this way he will be obliged pay SO
much duty. He has made study of the tariff in so
far as it affects his goods, and he knows the best
method OF getting the import down as low as
possible.
As matter OF fact the persons best qualified to
judge the success with which American business has
met in Venezuela are the Americans who engaged
in trade with that country, and those for the most
part enthusiastic boosters of the possibilities that
commercial intercourse with Venezuela holds for
this country. Some OF these unpaid boosters carry
their doctrine TO great lengths For instance, a
former New Yorker who resides in Caracas,
where he has extensive interests, in this country
tive in big candy factory.

ANXIOUS FOR u. S. TRADE
Yankee Opportunities Increase in South American Republic

Venezuela are given merely TO serve as a warning
to other firms what not to do when invading that
market For instance, the story is told of Yene-
zuean house which put in rather large order for
quantity Of stickers or labels to be pasted on small
packages. The Venezuelan house ordered them from
well-known American firm and specified that the
labels should not have the usual gummed back, in
tending to apply the mueilage it was needed. Now
the American hrm either paid attention to this
instruction or else had no plain back labels hand
or else suppod that the being foreign
ers, did not know what they wanted anyway.
So the American firm sent ordinary gummed
labels to its Venezuelan customsrs Did the latter
stand up and give three cheers for the kindhearted
American business who had thoughtfully fur
nished them with gummed labels when they had
merely ordered plain backs' They did not and the
reason is that IN Venezuela there insects which
like nothing better than mucilage. and which in jig
time made those labels look like mosquito netting.

DO you sell as much you'd like to SELL
"No." the other had to admit.
"Wel, just to show the faith have In American
goods and IN the Venezuelan market I'm going to
take some of your candy down there and get you
some orders. How much is set of your samples
WORTH"
"About $7s."
"An right I'll take them. There's a world Of
candy sold In Venezuela, but it's all English and
French. bet your stuff viii back them off the map"
| For the candy business there is moral in
this story. 1t is very interesting and exciting think
of the enthusiastic volunteer who introduced the
candy manufacturer to the Venezuelan market. But
why should the manufacturer have waited for some
one along and literally compel him to make
money? If he had been alert and enterprisng he
would have discovered for himself that rich land OF
opportunity which lies almost at the doors of the
United States-nearer to us than the Panama
Canal.

for the purpose of constructing organization to
administer the packers and stockyards act is
nounced.
"Mr. Morrill," says a statement, "who has
tered upon his duties is engaged in the preliminary
task of collecting from various government depart
ments and agencies having to do in the past with
the packing industry information which will be avail
able for in building permanent organization,
under the direction Of the Secretary of Agriculture,
TO administer the act.
ain this work Mr. Morrill, is receiving the assist
of Bayard T. Hainer, OF Oklahoma City, former
judge of the United States District Court in Okla
homa who is looking into legal phases OF the pro-
posed organizations activities. ..-
administration of the act will be undertaken by
a and separate unit of the department. In
ganzing it special is being exercised obtain
for the personnel whose knowledge of the in
dustry and the law best fits them for that service.
II is Secretary Wallaces desire that these shall
be familiar with problems and affairs of the packing
and livestock industries and qualified through train
ing and experience to deal with those problems in
telgently and fairly. In addition, careful study is
being made of conditions they have existed and
exist to determine equitable and fair methods OF
procedure to all parties involved.
THE study OF the industry is task of large
proportions involving the digest of vast volume of
information already in possession OF the Federal
Trade Commission, the Department Of Justice, the
Interstate Commerce Commission, and other govern
ment agencies. Every detail is under careful con-
sideration and attempt will be made to erect
hard and fast organization until thorough grasp OF
all the facts have been obtained. The work at the
present time, therefore, is largely preliminary.
Formal supervision of the industry awaits the
fulflment of certain preliminary legal requirements
Already, however the department has been informed
that there will be placed before it at early date
complaints TO the commission rates-long bone
of contention-charged at some markets"

COST OF KILLING CAT NOT ON
own PROPERTY IS $40

The cost of killing a cat not your
own property is $40 in this city, ac-
cording to the fine imposed upon
Mary Protonendes, of 445 Mechanic
street, by Recorder Harold L. Pick
ersgill in the police court this morn
ing. Mrs. Protonendes was arraign-
cd upon a disorderly conduct charge
preferred by James Lamminis, who
claimed that a child OF the woman
had killed his cat by pounding it
with a rock.
Following the killing a violent bat
tie of epithets ensued, in the course
of which a large amount of abusive
and insulting language was eX-
changed by the parties concerned.
From the number and vehemence OF
the witnesses present in the court
room it seemed hat the entire Greek
colony of the city was wrought up
over the murder. Blows were ex-
changed by both sides shortly after
the killin@ and these were repro
ducsd wildly in the court room for
the benefit of the judge.
A fine of $40 OF the ~disorderly
conduct charge was imposed upon
The defendant by Recorder Pickers-
gill and upon payment the woman
was dismissed.
