Few perishable commodities are
SO well graded as cranberries and
the purchaser seldom has difficulty
in selecting this fruit.
The principal factors affecting the
quality OF cranberries are size, color
and soundness. Large fruit cost
more, and probably averages higher
flavor. The color depends or va
riety and maturity, but your choice
is often decided by local preferences.
Eastern markets prefer q dark
colored berry. while middle. West.
'ern markets lean to the lighter
shades. Soundness Is more innpor-
tant than anything else and it Is
the one thing which should be
watched.
Retailers frequently hold cranber.

spots appear on the fruit. As q
rule these can be easily detected by
casual examination. Good. sound

fieity and bound like little rubber

Drawn Up Concerning Boun-

1tamaraty Palace a treaty on bound
aries and rail communications. Ba-
bian Vaca Chaves, Bolivian minister.
signed for his country and the Bra
lillian foreign minister, Octavio
Mangaheira. signed for Brazil.
The treaty fixes definitely a com.
mon frontier in places which were
not included in the treaties OF 1857
and 1908. This boundary line starts
between the source Of the river
Rapiran and the Arroyo Bahia, con-
tinuing directly to the mouth Of the
latter at Chipamanu and then to the
mouth OF Acre river. The line will
follow the Madeira river. between
river Benz and Mamore to the
Abuma river, running equivalent
from the margins Of the stream
Brazil having jurisdiction over the
Island closer 10 its shore and 30
livia retaining island closer to tts
bank.
The treaty also includes plans
for a railroad which will connect
Cocha bamba and Santa Cruz De Las
Sierras. extending from there 10
ports on the Amazon and Paraguay
rivers
Tho territory affected by the
treaty between Brazil and Bolivia
forms the northeast corner OF the
latter country.
The provision for rail connections
would assure Bolivia OF a somewhat
shorter rail and water route to the
Atlantic than is afforded by present
facilities,
