Nine  members  of  the  crew  of  the  Nor¬ 
wegian  steamer  Cossack,  New  Orleaus 
and  Norfolk  for  Grangemouth,  with  a 
cargo  of  gasolene  in  drums,  were  lost  in

ing  thirteen  member  of  the  Cossack’s

by  City  Court  Judge  J.  H.  Beall  carries 
with  it  a  decision  which  will  cost  the  meat 
packers  of  the  country  $1,1X10,000  a  year, 
according  to  their  attorneys,  aud  will 
-ave  this  sum  to  the  consumers.  Upon 
th<  complaint  of  John  D.  Eylors,  State 
Senii  r  of  Weights  and  Measures,  Judge 
Beall  found  the  meat  packers  guilty  of 
having  violated  the  law  by  charging  for 
meat  containers  the  same  price  as  for 
tlie  meat  they  contained.  The  company’s 
defence  was  that  the  hams  are  in  a  class 
apart  from  ordinary  meats,  and  that 
when  they  are  purchased  the  buyer 
knows  he  is  paying  meat  prices  for  pa¬ 
llet  containers.  The  Armour  Company 
was  recently  fined  $100  for  a  similar  of¬ 
ten  m  .  The  company  took  the  case  to 
ihe  Appellate  Division,  which  affirmed 
Judge  Beall’s  decision,  and  a  further  ap¬ 
peal  has  been  taken  to  the  Court  of  Ap¬ 
peals,

Administration’s  national  defence  pro¬

Peoria,  Illinois 
THIS  is  the  way  Mr.  L.  W.  Sullivan, 
County  Treasurer  of  Dickey  County, 
North  Dakota,  closed  a  recent  letter. 
The  reason  he  gave  for  buying  an  Avery 
was  this;  “ There  are  Seven  Avery  Outfits 
here ,  all  giving  satisfaction.” 
The  big  reason  fur ‘the  tast-growing  demand  for 
Avery  Outfits  is  found  right  there — other  men 
lu  the  same  neighborhood  who  have  a  chance  to 
watch  the  firs  t  one  started  soon  begin  wanting  J 
and  buying  Avery’s  for  themselves.  Neighbors  J 
everywhere  arc  buying  them;  fathers  and  sons  l 
are  buying  them;  brothers  are  buying  them  —  I 
there  are  four  brothers  in  Kansas  ah  owpers  R 
of  Avery’s.  Neighbors  and  particularly  mem-  L 
bers  of  the  same  family  wouldn’t  be  buying  Rx 
Avery’s  like  this  if  they  weren’t  a  real  success.  Ry

Avery  Tractor  Success  |

the  intermediate  gear;  uo  pampa  or  fan;  double  IXNNXv 
carburetors  for  burning  either  kerosene  or  gas-  KwJ
