Attention Farmers Near Charlottetown

POTATOES. We are very much pleased to relwrt a sharp advance in the price of Table Stock Potatoes. On account of Seed being ab- solutely at a stilndStill we cannot recommend that this advance is per- manent. Tn growers who are living on farms near Charlottetown bor- dcring on the improved roads where the plows are travelling arrange- ments can he made whcrc our trucks can call on days that the tam- pcrniure permits and haul in your potatoes.

My guess is thnt Cobbler Seed will not move until around the tenth of February to any extent. There might be a small demand for a little bit of Mountain Hood and we wish in notify our friends and customers flint we are lntcrcsicd in purchasing at prevailing market price their offerings during the Winter.

TIJRNIPS. Remember the old song "Yes We Have Some Bananas" Well we have regular orders for turnips. We can arrange to tniclr some, similar to the potatoes or we are interested in buying cars East 0f Charlottetown or on the Murray Harbor Branch In bulk.

Remember that we buy turnips daily, and ii’ it is possible, to reach you by truck kindly contact with the office.

BDPiN-tunlty of expressing my appreciation to the many growers ncnr Charlottetown who have made lt possible for me to estab- lish l. very nice Produce Business. l hope that our transaction; have be?" 019553“ "Y"!

trained in the anadian Postal Service.

The volume of mail handled is_ steadily increasing. Already one- half ton of mail passes ClllliY through the Base Post Office for the o ficers and men overseas.

Although the Post Office De rt- ment is doing its utmost to facl tate the dcspatch of malls to and from troops of the Canadian Active Scr- vice Force serving overseas, there is still mom for improved co-opera- ltlign on the part of the mailing pub-

This i5 particularly the case in

regard to the packing and ad- dressmg of eels. A number of parcels and ettcrs already sent will not reach their destination lritatt owing to loose and careles. packing‘ and faulty addressing. The need for proper packing can- strongly emphasized. Flimsy cardboard boxes and thin tissue paper are entirely inadequate. Strong containers and thick wrapp- ing paper are essential. The pQICEl shoud be firmly wrapped and well bound with strong ‘cord or other equally‘ suitable binding material.

Considerable time has men devot- ed by the staff of the Base Post Office, endeavoring to repair and re ztck improperly prcpnrcd par-

ce s.

A broom wielded by an Army Postal Corps member was required to "mop up" the debris of a iaultily packed fruit cake. In another in- stance a search was made through the mail to find a handful of mar- bles broken thronigzh the lacking of a game of "Chinese Chec ers." The goods in another parcel were dani- aged b_v the contents of a. broken container. These contents spread not only through the original par- cel but also damaged the contents of other parcels.

In conclusion, it is desired to a- gain acccntuat/g the nece silv of all mail being legibly and completely addressed. Many items are at pres- ent being held in the Base Post Office because of incomplete ad- dressing. Abbreviations rause im- nec-cssaﬂ delay and should be a- voided. _

Be sure that all _v0u:' overseas letters and lxirccls are addressed as follows:—
