THS HIGH COST OF DISTRIBUTION The past year was a year of agricultural fertility. Pood proioiijjiit to l«c cheap this winter, iu a great many nintl districts vegetables hare been rotting under the trees and iu the m$BU. Yet while apj-tey, for iniftaucc, weie wasting in the >uj«ry, you might have to pay from fj to >5 a barrel to boy them J#e cities. Similarly with other product*. bigge- t cause of high cost of living is t!.c expense of getting irom the farms to the consumer. It is the purpose of a ‘t* 01 six editorial aiticies, prepaied after spechd study and intere«fc with competent experts to describe briefly the present bung" ■r methods of getting food to the consumer, and to touch on vittt suggestions tbal Lave been made for lowering the high cost

\s distribution. ■

to investigation was recently made in a city of 100,000 people : 1st of delivering milk. It was found that something like ‘cans were through the place da ly,and covering A^fl^cgatc a distance of 24<-o miles. Yet there are but 950 cs ui streets in ilial city. Hence IO milk carts 011 an average it through each street The time of nine of these milk teams j 1.0} Jy wasted.. The consunur paid the needless coat. Similarly /*teams and motor cars that co'lccted the milk from the uniting IjOitrj- were running over the same ground. ■j An even more rematkable case is rejxoted from a town of 6000 Vplc to provide wilh milk 50 dificitut carts traverse the

ets day by day.

la the city iirst referred to the milk consumers were paying u nine cents per quari ; yet the farmers got but four cent*. |lh^ui at n distance got but two-and-u-lutlf to three ceuL. |ug)i the consamci is already paying a high price Ibr nu many places farmers arc quitting the dairy btuiurs* Tfow returns, and milk famines seem likely. It may ytl ksary to jack up the consumer another cent or two. gless number oi similai instances cor.ld be given, showing ivffici^uv of the present methods of getting loo) from (he aNUTouti. ,

A SAMPLE OF YELLOW JOURNALISM. The editor of a country paper was giving the other 1 personal reminiscences of his dealings with a certain m paper. There had been a railroad accident, and the big called him up to get a story. He sent in his report, but on bis paper was {astonished to find t!»t the wreck 3tory was di

in almost every particular.

He was confident that the paper, cm getting the first the ware that there bad been an accident, had faked tb« stances of the whole tiring iu advance, and very likely put type,.leaving only a few blanks for the list of those injured, a

of conductor and engineer, etc.

Local correspondents for big city papers perform their work faithfully, and often at cost of much bard exertion and inconvenience. Printing a partly-faked story puts them in a riilicalout position before the i^ome community. This is only one of thousandsof instances that could be 'dduced of the methods prevailing iu a certain section of the inetro|iolitaii press. It is sometimes said that the public likes to read interesting things* and is iodifierent whether the stories are true or not Thi* is rather underrating public intelligence. Few people like to buy green goods. They will do it once or twice, just as the farmers used freely to part with their good mooey for gold bricks. But

eventually they learn better.

Gradually the public is also learning bet I el about newspapers. It wants to find out what happened, not fictions originating iu the irmin of clever reporters many miles away. It is learning out that the only way ic bay the truth is to buy the newspaper produced at home, written by men who depend for their success on their reputation for accuracy, fairnesa, and truth Idling.
