ket for Valley grapefruit, by per-
hitting shipment with vegetables,
the fruit carrying its regular carioau
rate. Very few Of the smaller MAJ
kets can use an entire carload OF
fruit, and as q result their orders
are placed with dealers in n ar
ger centers Of distribution. This
adds materially to the transports
ton costs which, Of course, are au-
sorbed in the retail price. A greatly
increased demand for Valley 1rultS
in the small markets, Is predlcteo
by shippers and growers as a re-
suit of the new rate.
Carriers Co-0perated
Establishment OF the new mixed
car rate is the direct result OF close
cooperation of the Missouri Paclf-
ic and Southern Pacific lines, ship
pers state. At the request OF ship
perS the carriers serving the Valley
took the initiative, and the pro-
posal to establish the new rule with
in the state was presented the Tex
as Freight Tariff Bureau at Dallas
by j. E. Bailey, of Houston, general
freight agent for the Missouri Pa
cific, and S. G.. Reed Of Houston,
traffic manager for the Southern
Pacific. Securing the approve Of
the Texas Tariff Bureau, the 40
posed rate vas placed bef6. d.
Southwestern Freight Bureau st.

roads serving southwest territory
finally secured. Officials Of the
railways serving the Valley have
been working on the proposed rate
several months, announcement be-
ing made by the Missouri Pacific in
January that the approval of all
southwest roads had been secured.
The order of the state railroad
commission applies to Texas only,
but an order to make the rate in
terstate is expected daily, railroad
officials state. Some opposition has
developed in southeastern territory,
according to rumors received from
Washington, but it is not consid-
cred of sufficient force to prevent
an interstate order.
The movement of mixed vegetable
cars this season already has ex-
ceeded $500 or over 80 per cent of
all vegetables and fruits, and last
season, despite the handicap Of the
inequitable rate, over 5000 mixed
cars were shipped.

total charge than would the appli-

The following rule applies to mix
ed vegetables and citrus fruit:
when vegetables( fresh) and cit
rus fruits (oranges), lemons, lines,
grapefruit, t~angerineS and kum-
quats) are shipped in mixed ar
loads, the carload rate applicable
to each commodity shall be applied
to the entire quantity of that COM
modify in the car, using estimated
weight per package where author
led
The minimum on mixed vegetable
and fruit carloads is: Where the
weight of citrus fruit is not in ex-
cess Of 80 per cent Of car, $4,000
pounds; where weight of citrus fruit
is over 80 per cent and under 60 per
cent, 25,920 pounds; where weight
Of citrus fruit is in excess of 60 per
cent, 27.640 pounds.
Very Equitable Rate
Shippers pronounce this rate one
of the most equitable ever estab-
liShed. 1t means, they state, that
commodities in mixed cars can be
placed in the smaller markets at
exactly the same rate as that on
straight carloads. Each commodity
in the mixture carries its carload
rate, giving small market dealers
the same advantage as those in the
larger centers receiving straight cars
of the various commodities.
Under the present mixed cal rule
the, highest carload rate on any
commodity in the mixture applies to
the entire car, and also the highest
minimum. The new minimum Of
10000 pounds is regarded as very
liberal, and will cover practically
all mixed car shipments. 1t also per-
mits smaller loadings to supply
small markets without penalizing
the shipper or receiver.
Another feature is the mixed veg
etable and fruit rule. This is ex-
pected to greatly increase the mar

separate contracts, and the Mexi-
can air mail must carry the Mexi-

mail carries the American stamp.
Scores OF stamp and cachet COL
lectors have sent letters with in
structions to the postmaster. A
number of letters are addressed to
the American Chamber of Com
MERGE at Mexico City, which prob
ably has received instructions to
return them to the sender.
All letters to receive the first
flight cachet must be sent to or
taken to the office Of tie Browns
vile postmaster, this applying to
both the north and southbound air
mail. All letters placed on the
first flight planes will bear the
inscription on the cancellation
that it is first flight mail. These
special cachets are greatly priced
by collectors and by others as
souvenirs.
Air mail destined for any point
in Mexico or the United States,
after the first flight, may be drop

carry the regular scent air mail

rected: "Air Mail, via Browns

Senders of letters are warned not
to permit overweight. The air mail
rate into Mexico from the United

centavos also applies to all points
in both Mexico and the United

All mail intended for the special

By EDWARD j. buren,

When Herbert Hoover takes Of
flee as president Of the United
States, ne will succeed a goodly
company who found their greatest
relaxation in the woods or, with rod
in hand, along a running stream.
From washington to Coolidge more
than rs per cent of the presidents
have been fishermen or hunters.
Washington was the ideal outdoor
man of his time, his days, outside
OF his official duties, having been
spent with rod and gun, even when
he was engaged in managing his
estate at Mount Vernon. AS he rode
over the property, he was always
accompanied by a favorite hound, a
gun in a Saddle-bag, and a fervent
hope that a chance for a shot would
come his way.
Elaborate Affairs
He gave fishing parties for his
friends and neighbors along the Po-
tomac that were elaborate affairs.
even in his generation. Servants
balted hooks while cavaliers tried
their luck, and admiring ladies SER
we'd tea or some alcoholic substitute.
Thomas JefferSon'S Scotch father.
Peter, died while his son was still a
boy, but he had taught him that it
was the strong in body who are both
the strong and free in mind" words
that were the favorite text Of the
son during his brilliant career. When
the father died, the son was only Id
years Old, but he had already taught

until he became engaged in war re-
lief work. This his name became
q household word.
Those stormy war days in London
formed an eventful chapter in the
crowded life Of the new American
president. When he was urged to
take over Belgian relief, he perforce,
had to choose between giving up a
lucrative business with great for
tune inevitably in sight, and enter
a field without hope Of financial
remuneration. Some of his business
associates naturally felt he was let
ting them down.
Hoover. the administrator of vast
public affairs, emerged in that pc
Rod. He fed millions of people and
he handled millions upon millions
Of dollars. Later, as American food
dictator, his duties were tremendous
and he actually was food dictator

of the world when he returned to
Europe as a member Of the supreme
economic council.
The department of commerce
made notable progress during the
Hoover regime, in a speeding up Of
vital processes and in extension of
old facilities and the creation of
new ones. Radio came into his ken
and his ideas and thoughts helped
draft stabilizing regulations for
that volatile industry.
The Hoover forces entered the
Kansas City convention quietly, eff
ficient and every one shortly knew
that it was all over but the shout
ing.
Herbert hoover takes up his high
post with the greatest public man
date ever given a president.
