SUGGESTIONS TO

Eliminate Loss and Trouble BY
Having Clear Understanding
Of All Terms.
CONFIRM ALL TRANSACTIONS

and Routing Should Be Made So
That There VIII Be No
MlsunderstandI

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
Many Of the difficulties and losses
that shippers Of hay encounter would
be eliminated If more care were exer-
cised when making sales to see that
all terms are clear and practicable and
that both seller and buyer have the
same understanding Of them. This
can be accomplished by observing the
following suggestions by the bureau
of markets and crop estimates, United
States Department of Agriculture:
State clearly in all offers or accept
ances all necessary factors, including
quality and quantity Of hay, together
with time of shipment, routing, rates,
price and terms of payment.
Confirm all sales and purchases by
letter, in which is stated all terms as
understood by the seller or the buyer,
as the case may be.
Upon receipt of confirmation, cor
rect Immediately any items that APP
pear to be incorrect.
Make Terms Clear.
Too much emphasis cannot be
placed upon the matter of care in stat
ing terms when making sales or pur-
chaSes. A greater part Of such trans
actions are usually by telephone or
telegraph which makes brevity neces-
sary. A few more cents spent in tele-
phone or telegraph charges, however,
is better than several dollars lost on
an unsatisfactory shipment. On the
part of the shipper, therefore, when
offering hay for sale, whether the offer
is by wire or letter, the following
should be stated:
(a) Quantity by bales, tons, or car
loads. If by balls, the size should al
ways be given, and If by tons or car
loads, 1t is we'll also to state the size
of bales that will be shipped, as there
is decided preference in certain Sec
tons for certain types and sizes of
bales.
(b) Quality, either in descriptive
terms or in the terms Of state or COM
mercial grades. When commercial
grades are used it must be made GER
tain that both buyer and seller under
stand what standards are being used
1t Is sometimes advisable to state
what inspection agency is to deter
mine the grade.
(c) The time of shipment should
be specified either by naming the ex-
act date on or before which shipment

ond chief object of the study was to
diminish the enormous waste Of goods
in transit due to defective packing.
BY the use of special machinery de-
signed at the Forest Products labora-
tory, boxes can be artifcally subject
ed to the same kind of shocks and
strains they receive in actual trans
port From these tests 1t has been
possible to determine the correct
amount and quality of material to
use, the result of defects in the wood,
the adaptability Of different species
of wood, and the best types Of box
and crate construction.
The results of these investigations
have recently been compiled by the
Forest Service and published in book
form under cooperative arrangement
with the National Association of Box
Manufacturers.
In addition the book includes the
standardized specifications for box
making tentatively adopted by the
American Society for Testing Mate
rails, and also key to the Identified
ton of the chief wood species used
in the construction Of boxes and
crates. 1t can be obtained from the
Secretary of the National Association
Of Box Manufacturers, Conway Bldg,

Plans were discussed for transfer
ring the pirates from the cave to the
cutter, for they were to be taken to
Santa Marina to meet whatever pun

murdered us, they had robbed us of
nothing but the provisions they had
eaten; they had, after all, as much
right on the island as ourselves. Yet
there remained their htgh-handed con-
duct in invading our camp and treat

'There is a mistake" said clearly.
1T is a great mistake, Dugald Shaw,
that you should come to me and court
me-fOr some one else"
There was silence for while, the
kind of silence when you hear your
heartbeats.
When he spoke his voice was I'M
steady.

unstained youth, heart that Is all

he ennobles it. Cuthbert has youth,
but youth Is only promise. In the

And then Dugald Shaw took me in

At this l raised my head from its

MAKING SUCCESS OF GARDEN
Soils Must Be Deep, Mellow and Fri.
able and in crumbIy State When
PloWed or Hoed.

The success of a garden is largely
due to the manner in which the soil
has been prepared. The soil must be
deep, mellow and friable, so that 1t
will be in crumbly state when
plowed or hOed. That is, the minute
particles Of the soil must be granular,
each maintaining its form and con-
slstency. When such soil is wet, each
portion is enveloped by film Of water
which is retained for some time, The
plant food is thus dissolved and this
water-laden plant food is taken by
the roots Of the plants.

GREEN FOOD FOR FOWLS.

1t is very easy to have a few
flats in the basement to raise
green food for the chickens be-
fore 1t is time for the early
spring grass on the vacant lot.
Oats, wheat, rye, barley, corn
or other greens may easily
enough be produced In quick
succession. BY planting few
days apart, a stand Of the green
food two or three inches in
height may be had. BY using
judgment, fresh fiat of green
food may be had for the poultry
every few days. After the green
tops have been devoured replant,
set in a reasonably light place
and have another crop within a
few days.

1.-The invocation.
+ Mr.. Robsion chose as his subject
'"rhe Highway of Life" He said, in
part: The world is divided into two
great classes. those who look in and
those who look out. Those who look
in are the selfish ones. who try to see
how much they can get out of the
world, the, government, the church
and their friends.
''Those who look out are the unselfish
citizens, who try to put as much into
the country. the church and the COM
cmunity as they get out of it. The man
who looks in believes happiness con-
sists in wealth, social standing. pres
tige and power. Those who look out
know that the happiness of the indi-
.vidual is inseparable linked with the
happiness of the community. What the
world needs today is good old-fash-
Toned revival of the religion of our an
cestors. The men and women who
are remembered in history and to

monuments are those who have modeled
their lives most nearly after the life
