The City Market---A Sociological Institution
By James R. Hanna, Mayor of Dss Moines, Iowa.

A CITY market is q sociological
~ institution 1t Is intimately
= related t. the whole indus
trial and economic problem Of cits life.
1t deeply affects not only the INDUS
trial and commercial prosperity Of the
business and manufacturing interests
but also the economic and social well
being Of the people at large.
A cheap market has the effect Of
raise in wages. For that reason it
means a great deal both to the wage
Garner and to the employer Of labor.
When the cost Of the real necessaries
of life is low, labOrers can afford to
work for comparatively low wages
They cannot afford 10 work for or
binary wages when the cost OF living
is extraordinarily high.
Neither can manufacturers and 9TH
er employers Of labor make up this
high cost Of living by paying unduly
high wages, especially when Compel
ing manufacturers in other cities have
better conditions. The Well-fed con-
ment for his employer than one who
is under fed and disconnected 1t was
not until the manufacturing and com
mercial interests in Des Moines be-
gan to understand this fact that we
were finally able to start the city
market, although the subject had long
been agitated among the people at
large.
Makes Better People.
Finally a market fitted with an
abundance of cheap and wholesome
food has still deeper seated sOcio-
logical value. 1t is the observation
of close students Of these matters
that the whole character, the moral
and physical Well-being Of a people,
Intimately depends upon a well bal
anced and sufficient food supply.
real slum district cannot exist along
side of a free, open market. Japan is
deliberately planning to add to the
stature of her people by careful at
tention to the character and variety
of their food. The great variety, the
wholesome condition, and the gener-
Gus quantities of fOOdstuffs at low
prices. naturally offered on a market,
If it is carefully guarded against the
shylocks, is guaranty of better social
and physical conditions among the
people.
Two factors had been at work in
Des MoineE forcing living expenses
to a high point. First was the gen
eral advance in cost of living which
applied here as elsewhere, resulting
from the increased cost Of many OF
the common necessities of life.
Then, too. Des Moines has within
a few years passed from struggling
country town. to something of city
A few years ago she readily drew from
the immediate countryside all needeo
farm produce at country prices
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1911-12-02

Besides these tive forces which con-
spired 10 increase the cost Of living in
Des Moines, 1T was strongly asserted
by many that there was at work a
ers, wholesale grOcers, commission
men, the creameries. the butter and
egg houses and the peddlers.
These interests naturally feared and
opposed the public marketing and for
a long time had the sympathy Of other
business interests on the ground Of
mutual protection and defeated the
undertaking. Finally, however, man
ufacturers and other business interests
employing labor began to feel the
necessity of easier living conditions
for labor, else they could not meet the
competition from other cities where
better conditions exist The newspa-
pers Joined in the crusade, and what
had long been advocated in certain
quarters, but had as long mysteriously
failed Of naturalization sprang into
existence full grown.
The first day of the public market in
Des Moines there were "A wagons
thronged with eager buyers Since
that time the average daily attend
ance is from 40 to 225 vehicles, rang
ing from the low cart drawn by q
donkey to the costly touring car. The
people Of all classes turn out in thou
sands and it is no doubt this spirit OF
cooperation that contributes so large
" to the success Of the undertaking
Housewives Like It
There was a feeling before the mar
ket was inaugurated that the house
wives would not leave their custom
airy duties to journey perhaps miles to
the market. However, within a very
short time the demand was much
greater than the supply and anyone
who has any vegetables or produce
for sale now is glad to bring them to
the market place.
The public market should in the
long run prove a benefit to the mer-
chants as wei as 10 the public at
large. Cheap produce on the market
leaves the purchaser with more
money TO spend for the staple articles
of food and clothing TO be had only at
the stores.
Every precautiOn must be taken to
keen the market for the producer and

For Country School Teachers.

State Superintendent Payson Smith
announces that the summer schools for
teachers for the present year will aim
directly to aid rural school teachers.
The work of the several courses will be
arranged with the direct purpose of In.
creasing the efficiency of country schools.
The opportunities for conference
among rural teachers are necessarily
more limited than among city and village
teachers, while the very fact of the
existence in Maine of $500 one-room
country schools with an enrolment of
over SO, 900 pupils is evidence of the i'm
portant place held by the country school
in the state system.
The two weeks program of each Of
the rural school summer institutes will
be devoted exclusively to a study Of the
common school branches with the meth.
DDS of teaching them, together with a
study of rural school management and
administration. In line with the recent
policy OF utilizing fully the state normal
school facilities these rural school in
stitutes will be held at Gorham, Farm
ington, Castine and Machias from July
10 to 81 and at Fort Kent from July "a
to August 4. At Presque Isle regular
six weeks term of normal school with
credits toward graduation is to be held.
The only expense to teachers In con.
nection with these institutes is for travel
and for board.

Quebec on the early express Sunday

Hague, in London, and In numerous
other European cities.
Last November she came to New
Orleans as the prima donna OF the
French Opera Co. from Paris-the first
time, IL was noted, that the prima donna
of the French company, coming from
Paris, had been . native American-and
of old New England stock at that. The
company sang at New Orleans for three
mouths, and since then have made tour
with short engagements in Mobile, At
Ianta, Memphis, Kansas City, st. Louis,

Wif2hery Of the Skirt.
detroit NeWs.)


The harem skirt will die of it's own
puritanism. 1t is modesty itself, en-.
casing the neither limbs OF womanhood
as In sack, lending itself neither to the
vagaries of wind nor to the grace of
motion in the wearer. The harem skirt
lacks zest. 1t il not piquant, 1t suggests
nothing, 1t Is nothing. In fact, it Is no
skirt at all. Where Is there room for
the dainty fluttering fabric, for the swift
vision Of ankles on rainy day, for the
art that conceals art; where, in brief, is
there stimulus in the pickering strings
of the bagged skirt? Romance has ever
hedged about the skirt. Man has fol.
lowed for centuries it's swish and its
swirl, Its vague possibilities, its remote
suggestion of ankles and limbs, its tanta.
LIKING grace, and will continue to do 80
az long as the eternal feminine with its
eternal question mark endures.
Imagine childish girlhood without It's
brief skirt. Imagine all the years Of
womanly development and OF romance
without the frightening skirt with its
atmosphere OF possibilities. Imagine
woman deprived Of all the Imagination
that clings to this most graceful and
fascinating of garments, and CARRIED in
two clothespin bags with puckering
strings at the ankles. The skirt is
subtle; the harem pantaloons are the
personi6cstion of the obvious, the un-
suggestive and the unromantic.
