A meeting under the auspices of the nmpersnee Alliance, addressed by Mrs. H. P. Newconibe of Halifax and by Rev. John Cobum of Toronto was held in the Market Hall last ev- ening with an attendance Of about 150. A surprising feature of the oc- casion was the chairmanship of Mr. W.E. Bentley who since his defeat in the Belfast constituency last sum- mer haa not reappeared on a Prohi- bition platform.

"It was not not my intention to be present at All this evening or to vote on Thursday next," said. Mr. Bentley in Expleihlhg his resurrection. "Many may misunderstand me but no one

changed. All that I said two years ago, I could repeat now. The issue then, was simple, but now the ques- tion has changed. The question on the ballot means "Are you in favour of Prohibition as it is now law?" I can approve the principle of Prohi- bltibh, but there is much in its en- forcement not t0 my satisfaction.

LONDON, July l6 —- The Prince of Wales gave a reassuring word on this king's condition in a speech this af- ternoon at the inaugural luncheon of the International Aero Exhibition. "I know that you will be pleased when I tell you that I had some de- finite conversation with the king this morning," the Prince declared. "He has stood the operation extremely well and was very pleased when I told him I was coming to see this ex- hibition."

It is understood that today's bulle- tin was regarded vgith considerable satisfaction in court circles_ The doc- tor‘s -‘ that the general con- dition of His Majesty is satisfactory was taken to indicate that the Kings health has not suffered w any ex- tent from the effects of the operation. Such anxiety as to the condition of King George as remained after yes:- erdayb encouraging reports on the operation performed then was reliev- ed with an additional favorable bul- letin from his physicians this morn- ing.

TOKIO. July 16—Although M05- cow‘s ultimatum expires tomorrow, reports from China indicate that the Chinese apparently are going sgiead with their assumption of control of the Chinese Eastern Railway with- out inuch belief that Russia will re- sort to force of arms. Recent dis- patches from Harbin state that the Chinese are busy cleaning up all de- tails and taking over all railway prop- erty was well as closing all houses hitherto occupied by Soviet employees and oonfiscating Soviet concessions in the railway none.

Much interest has been introduced in the visit of M. Serebrianov, ap- polnied by the Russion government to negotiate in the affairs. The Rus- sian representative is expected in Harbin on July 17, but there is not much belief apparent there that he will be able to alter the situation. He arrived at Irkutsk by air today and immediately left by train for Harbin.

Test Shipment of Mich. igan Potatoes in 15 lb. Sacks Sold Suc.

cessfully With Aid of Newspaper Adver. tising.

The following is republished from the July 4th issue of “Printers Ink”: A successful experiment in pack- lllfll- labeling and advertising po- tatoes in fifteen-pound retau cotton bags, made recently by the Textiln Bag Manufacturers Association of Chicago in co-operation nrith the lvlicl-iigan Potato Growers Exchanlfl indicates the practitibllity of retail packaging many of the sb-cailed bulky farm products, including white potatoes, sweet potatoes, string been!‘ asparagus and celery.

The association made a prelimh nary survey of Chicago produce dealers, grocers and housewives be learn their attitude toward the prod posed marketing of potatoes in seal- ed retail bags. Forty per cent of the produoa dealers intei-vieived favored a. retail sack of either fifteen o! twenty-five pounds; 50 psi- cent were indifferent and l0 per cent were opposed to the Plan. Sixty-five per cent of"l00 grocers liked the idea; 11 per cent were doubtful but were will- ing to try the package, and 23 per cent declared they could not eel] packaged potatoes in their "poor" neighborhoods.

It was learned that the average retail eels of potatoes in Chicago Ls a fraction over seven pounds. 1T1!‘ association argued that by putting uq potatoes in fifteen-pound sacks the unit retail sale would be incrcasedr. The grow-s were quick to sense thif possibility. They considered also thel the package would eliminate we-stq save labor and provide attractive store and window displays

Field workers of the association interviewed 650 housewives in Cili- cago, among whom the chief appeal of packaged potatoes was uniform quality packed under brand with a shippei-‘s guarantee. They declared that many grocers for convenience during rush hours prepare five, tell and fifteen-pound paper- bags of po- tatoes in advance, but that it ivoilld be preferable to have the pacsgo fill- ed. sealed and labeled by the shipp- er. The cotton bags could be used later- for lettuce, dust cloths, polish- ing cloths and, the like.
