SUGAR IN PACKAGES

The trend in merchandising in the last
five wears has been away from the old
open bulk goods TO the new sanitary wrap
ped package goods. The raisin industry
has found it more practical and econom-
ical to place its goods on the market in
small packages rather than in the old
open box method. Ii is hard now to find
a store that keeps cereals or grain food
in the bulk. The public has been edu-
Gated TO buy package goods and the de.
mand is ever increasing.
The next few years will probably see
the passing of another famous landmark
in the grocery business-thc old sugar
barrel. A prominent re6ner recently
pointed out the value 10 the retailer and
the consumer in the new way Of market
ing this necessary product. 80
The retailer will not be cheated out Of
his profit by overwcghing an ounce on
every two pounds Of sugar he sells which
has been the common occurrence when
the sugar barrel method is used. For ev-
cry 800 pounds Of sugar he buys he will
sell 800 pounds.
The consumer will be benefited by
knowing that he is purchasing the exact
weight and also the quality Of sugar tha,
he desires. He will also know that it is
clean. that it has not been handled
since it left the refinery.
Package sugar is a forward step in the
campaign OF sanitary marketing.

What Our Community Needs

he work Of churches. They are too
numerous and the attendance too small
to carry on the church work successfully.
Several of these churches need to unite
and make one or two strong churches to
replace the many weak ones. A method
is needed for interesting the young folk
in church work. Many seem Indifferent
about the church meetings.
Last but not least, would say an in1;-
proycment in the social conditions for
the young folk. Means for recreation
arc greatly needed; games of baseball
need to be provided during the weeis
with the support Of the patrons, of the
town to take the place of Sunday base
ball. More entertainment is needed to
make the humdrum country life more
pleasant and attractive and help keep the
boys and girls on the farm.
Therefore, the chief need of my COM
muniiy. as see it. is better cooperation
in industrial, educational and social
matters.

By ALICE CLAYrOOL, ASHLAND.

This essay ICON second prize in a re.
cent contest conducted By the MissOu-
riaR.
One Of Webster's definitions for need
S lack Of. | would say, then. that my
community lacks cooperation; good CO.
operation in all affairs.
FIRST, the community lacks cO-0pera,io
in, the industrial field. Some Of the
farmers are indifferen. about the organ
ization for the farmers and are skeptical
as to the benefits that would be derived.
There is need of better cooperation be-
tween the farmer and his wife. Few i'm
provements have been made in the farm
home. More labor saving equipment. run
ming water. electric lights, suction sweeps
and the like need to be added in order
that the farm home may have time to de-
vote TO social affairs and attend the wo-
mems clubs. So far we find the farm
woman has not taken as active part in
such affairs as the city woman, because
she can never lind the time.
Many Of the homes lack several Of the
essentials of an ideal home. Mentally
they are not stimulating; mechanically
they are not convenient; and artistically
they are no, satisfying. The last has re-
suited in many of our boys and girls leav-
ing the country and going to the city. The
condition in their homes fails to satisfy
their desires.
In our community club there is great
need Of way to interest greater num-
Der. There is need Of a community fair
where the farmers and their wives could
! make exhibits Of their work.
Secondly. the cooperation Of the
schools needs to be improved. The par
ents, teachers and school board need to
work together more The pupils need
some way to show the tax payers that
they are receiving what, is expected in
return for the taxes paid. The parent.
teacher associations have been the bes,
medium by which parents and teachers
have become acquainted. So far. the
work has been carried on by the mothers
but the aid Of both parents is necessary
to get the best results.

SHIP SUBSIDIES

one that every patriotic citizen would
