Deliveries must be Prompt, efficient and regular; the loads, as a rule, are heavy; and the location of cus- tomers necessitates driving under all sorts of road conditions, It is also true that hardly any other bus- iness has such a thorough accounting system, such a complete knowledge of delivery cost. When, therefore, packing-houses in all parts of the country are discarding all other forms of delivery in favor of Federal trucks, it speaks volumes for the efficiency and economy of Federalized transportation. Federal trucks, to any packer, will mean not only considerably smaller investment in delivery equipment, but a very much small- ef operating cost. We are prepared to prove this to your satisfaction by the experience of many other concerns in your line; and shall be very glad, in addition, to go into your own deliv- ety problems in detail. Write for interesting booklet applying especially to packing-house and commission delivery. Accelerating Humanity ACCORDING to a report in the London Times, a man at Poole, England, has been having great luck raising chickens by electricity. Not only is the mortality reduced, but by surrounding the newly born chickens with an insulated wire, through which an alternating current of high fre- quency is run, they grow fully fifty per cent. faster than usual. Thus he has increased the efficiency of chickens by one-half, If this can be done with chickens, it can, of course, be done with human heings, The first step necessary will be to establish in each community a baby-intensifying plant, whereby babies can reach their growth by electricity, either singly or in groups, according to the means of the parents. Thus we will have young men quite fit to play baseball and football at the age of ten or eleven, instead of waiting until eighteen or twenty. The effect which the electrical dis- pensation will have upon the minds of young people has, of course, not yet been demonstrated, as the brain of a hen does not offer a fit medium for any result; but we may comfort our- selves with the thought that in the case of the mental development of our young people, no acceleration at pres- ent is necessary. Most of them know everything worth while knowing by the time they get to be sixteen or seventeen. It would probably con- tribute not very much to the well- being of the Republic if they could know this a few years earlier, NOT SO FEMININE “OH, WILLIAM!
