Imovt atait connEsroNDEvx. WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-Exhlblta of the farm-to-table service of the parcel post system have bcn made by the Gov ernment at more than 100 State and county fairs. As a result of this campaign of advertising. Postmaster General Burleson reports the public Is hastening to em brace an opportunity to obtain cheaper and better farm produce. The now sys tem was Introduced In Philadelphia on October 1 County fairs at Allcntown and York, fa., refused to grant space to the Gov trnment for these exhibits. Displays have ben made, however, at eight county fairs In Pennsylvania this autumn with tho following results: Bellefontc "Postmaster thoroughly Im pressed with the wisdom of the move and the method of demonstration. Tho re mits are -worth the effort." Carlisle "Fair ofTlclnls co-operated will ingly and the display has stimulated In terest" Indiana "Wldo attention attracted and the exhibit was unanimously voted a gre&t success." Hollldaysburg "More than 21,000 visitors pronounced tho exhibit valuable." Montrose "Exhibit highly beneficial, fair officials and business men Joined In helping to arouse public interest." Pcading "More than 100,000 people dis played keenest Interest in the now op portunities which tho exhibit called at tention to." Somerset "Manufacturers and mer chants co-operated energetically and a decidedly credltablo and Interesting ex hibit was prepared." Towanda "Exhibit a. great success. Exceptional interest was manifested by tho women. Women is the medium by which the parcel post will win Its way to farm and suburban households." Reports from New Jersey are more than flattering on tho postal exhibit shown at the Newark Industrial Fair and at tho Trenton Interstate Fair. Of the latter, tho Postmaster General Is ad vised that "merchants nnd manufacturers were more, than pleased at tho depart ment's co-operation In bringing the pub lic Into closer touch with them through the medium of a practical demonstra tion of how to use the parcel post," A statement Issiicd by tho I'ostofneo Department declares that "Postmaster General Burleson's suggestion that post masters the eiKlntry over Join in giving the public ocular demonstrations of the advantage and the best methods of using tho parcel post has been adopted on a huge scale." Hundreds of letters in reply showing tho widespread adoption of the plan havo been received by tho Postmaster General. Interest In the farm marketing feature of tho parcel post has becomo so general that the Poatutllre Department has been compelled to print S00.000 additional copies of tho parcel post circular recently Issued. In exhibits mado at the fairs promi nence Is given to samples of the ap proved types of containers for the trans mission of perlshablo farm producls through the malls. Experience shows, Postotnco Department ofllrlals say, that much still remain? to ho done by way of Impressing upon the farmers tho neces sity of properly picking food shipments In suitable containers.

CHILDREN'S CORNER Nicknames I call my mother "Mudgic." My father is just "Daddy." And nursies always "Kudgie," But Katie is her name. And Theodore is "Teddy." And every little laddie. When called for short, is ready To answer just the same. And though my name is "Edward," They do not use it often: 'Less I cry at going bedward Or show my spunky B"'M. But when I'm nice and sunny.

BEFORE THE SANDMAN COMES 0 NCE upon a time some fairies remarkable part is that you don't "lived in a birr cornfield how does anybody know they lived there you ask? Wait and seel They started living there in the ummer when the corn stalks were fresh and green. Then dainty little daisies and 'lovers strayed among the cornstalks "hugs and beetles crawled over the corn roots, and many interesting things happened every day. Altogether, the fairies considered 'hat, next to the forest, a cornfield was the very nicest place to live, and they decided to live there forever. Then came the frosts, the cold inds and the snows anj tne poor lit tle fairies, taken unawares, hardly knew what to do they weren't used to cold and snow and ice and they didn't like them a bit. "Let's ask the beetle," said one he s very old and very wise. Maybe n can tell us what this queer coldness means. So they hunted up their friend the beetle. "Please, Friend Beetle," they said, Jn you tell us what this awful cold ""J means?" fin'1' biiites our noseS and stings our "ners! added one who thought they hd not told enough. i u,'.?f.i co,ur".

"We lived in the Southland." an swered one fairy, "and we have never even heard of winter." "Well, welll" pondered the beetle, "I have never been out of this corn field, yet I know all about winter." "Then maybe you can tell us if it is always cold like this?" asked a fairy. "Yes, it is," answered the beetle. "It's cold and windy and stormy and snowy and oh! everything," he add ed ominously. "That doesn't sound very pleas ant," said a fairy. "Oh, it's not so bad," comforted the beetle, "not so bad you find a snug comfortable home. I go down into the ground down to where it is nice and warm and I don't mind the cold winter a bit." "I wish we had a warm home," said the fairies. "Wishing don't get one. Why don't you hunt5" asked the beetle. "We will!" said the fairies. They set to work and found a snug little home under the stiff corn roots and there they hid all winter. And on warm days when the winds from the Southland blow, they slip out from their shelter and frolic and sing among the big corn stalks. Some day when you pass a corn field and a breeze is blowing, stop and listen to the rustle rustle swishl That's the sound of the fairies talk ing to the breezes, the sound of the fairies singing of their Southland hornet Tomorrow--Jimmy South-Breeze Foots Jack Frost.
