I Thousands of American citizens ; fighting the hiqh cost of living by the purchase of army food dis- , I tribute through the L S. pcstofTice, ' , will lie pleased to know that this . cheap method of marketing may be ', adopted upon a wider scale. ' : Prof.. Robert Lee Green, dean of I the college of pharmacy at tho Unl-' ; verslty of Notre- Dame claims that ; (the government is actlnp upon his; i Kupsrestion of postal markets in thix ' present distribution, and is confident j that the rest of his plan will yet I be adopted. Prof. Green has for ! j five ears-pa?t been attacking expensive methods of distribution, and ih'is been urging upon the postoffice j department his plan for "postal

markets," a part of which has demonstrated its usefulness In1 the pres-, ent crisis. j I "resents Method. The method as advocated by Prof, j Green follows: "To establish a postal market or fedeial food exchange, it would be necessary to have a suitable build- ! ing for a market house near the postornce where all sorts of foods, would be exposed for sale in stand- j ard vrade and in standard packages, j

A great deal of food is already put up In this way, namely, butter in pound packages, milk in pint ami quart bottles, bread in loaves of a standard weight, berries and small fruit in crates and boxes, apples.

peaches, pears, oranges and grape ;

fruit all come in i--andard boxes, standard pack and standard grades. "Other foods, fruit and vegetables could be put up in a similar way and classified as fancy, good, medium and common, with price adjusted accordingly. This grading and packing would be done by the producer in conformity, with the

regulations of the market master. "The food would proceed from farm to the postal market by the motor truck service which is established already in certain localities. Until this truck service becomes general, the farmers would haul their produce to the market themselves. Producers would get their pay immediately on acceptance of their produce by the market master. This would eliminate book accounts, "A postoffice official would act as market master and would employ an adequate force of clerks to handle '.he food. The market master would keep in active touch by telephone with the producers in his territory and would know each day what kind of food was available and in what quantity. This information would be tabulated on a card system and used in disposing of food in excess of local needs-. He would" report the surplus to the county market master who Jn turn would report to the state " official who would report to Washington. The county, state and national organization would thus act as a sort of clearing house for all foods,' surplus as well as deficiencies. With such an organization, surplus food would proceed to the point needed by the shortest and quickest route.

"being very mobile and Instantly re-

sponsive to all demands. Could Use Phones. "People could visit the postal market and carry home their purchases or they could order by telephone specifying the grades desired

and have it sent out on the regular'

delivery and be sure of getting ex- ; actlv what was wanted. There!

would be two deliveries a day. early morning and one In the afternoon, each carrying mail as well. "Delivery would proceed from the postoff.ee in motor vans to the assigned locality. Then, push carts would be used to complete the delivery from the van to the home, utilizing for the work, wire baskets, 12 inches by 16 inches, by six inches deep. A cart three feet high.

fuur feet wide and six feet long 1

would hold 96 baskets of such dimensions. The vans would move one block at a time and stop to refill the t arts when empty. To facilitate the work tach patron would have a box at the curb to receive the basket, and to still further save time and effort these baskets should be arranged in groups of five, for adjoining neighbors. Two baskets would be needed for each patron. The carrier would remove the empty one and leave the filled one. Use Cah KasU"To avoid bookkeeping the service would be done pn a strictly cash basis. A bill would accompany each delivery, and on the following day this bill with the exact change . in a sealed envelope would be put in the empty basket and left in the mail box. If two consecutive bills remained unpaid, delivery would be suspended until adjustment had been mcde at headquarters. "Such a centralized and properly coordinated system would reduce the delivery charges to a minimum and save a vast amount of man power whicb is so precious at present. "It would not be difficult to cstab!ish rx post.il market. The frame work of the organization is already at hand and in successful operation. An extension of this organization is all that is needed. Coordinate the

I food administration with the post-'

erT.ce and the thing is done. j
