operated on the large pleasure island where he spent hfs summers During the winter he took charge of a con cessiou in a southern resort In either climate he found it unsafe to operate the cars in the rain, even though there were passengers wiling to take a chance. He was too conscientious to take risks with human life, even for the sake of great deal of money.
 This was his sixth week at the is- land resort. He had insisted upon testing every bit of machinery as 1t was ready to operate. He was care ful to see that not a flaw existed in any part of the tracks or plant. It was to this that he owed a clean rec ord of not a single fatality on any of his roads. As owner and inven tor, this meant much to him.
 At times he found the noisy, gay life at the pleasure resort distastefui The constant music of summer bands the shouting of the orders for vari ous attractions, the tinsel.bedecked performers. the too bright lights and the ever-moving throng all became monotonous. They wearied him.
 Of the vast numbers of men and women with whom he came in con. tact there was one who interested him. And she-this little nurse in the emergency hospitai-seemed as far removed from the life of the island as did the sacred recesses of a country church. IL was on the occa. sion of her daily recreation that be chanced to see her.
 He learned to watch for her and he invariably saw her turn straight from the hospital gates toward the sandy beach and the great stretch of ocean beyond Never once did she wander through the gay white streets of the amusement village. The brilliant spectacle seemed not to attract her. On the contrary. 1t seemed as if 1t were distasteful to her. Why, Allan Donaldson wondered. had she chosen such a place?
 In a quiet way he had tried to find out who she was and who were her friends, but aside from the fact that she was Miss Winifred Atwood, the most capable nurse in the institution, he could learn nothing
 Occasionally he met her face to face as she walked by the sea. and once when she looked into his face iu passing, he saw that she was more beautiful than he had suspected. The

ABOLlStllNG THE MiDDLEMAN,

When B. +. IOakum, chairman Of
the Frisco lines. argued that the trOu-
bile with the United States was not
the high cost of living but the high
cost Of selling he epitomiZed a condi-
ton on Whicl, much comment previ-
ously had been made without attract
ing the attention it deserved.
The average householder who com
planned of the high price Of foodstut1s
did not pause to think that he him
self might be to blame. 1t had been
pointed out, from various sources,
that the difference between the cost
of living today and the cost ten or
fifteen years ago was represented by
the increased service. including the
telephone, the Theoretically sealed
PACKAGES, and the utomObile delivery
wagon, that makes such Il fine I'M
preston at the door.
MIR. Yoakum's way of putting the
matter, epigrammatic and convincing.
had the great value OF bringing the
householdtrs as to the original source
of supply the farmer. He pointed out
that while the price of foodstutfs ut
the city shops had increased, the pro-
fits to the farmers had not increased.
The high cost of selling was taking
all the profits.
We're the farmers to sell direct to
the consumers. argued Mr.. IOakum,
both would receive benefit from the
close relationship and the elimina-
ton Of the middleman. The plan was
tried in IL somewhat sensational man
npr on the lawn in front of the city
hall ut DeS Moines. Now word comes
from New York that it is to be tried
on Il much broader and much more
substantial plan by fifty farmers,
! who say they are the advance guard of
more than Il million OF their brothers
in New York and Pennsylvania
Upon their arrival in New York,
! the fifty farmers announced that they
had been authorized to put into effect
IL plan whereby the farmer is to sell
his produce direct to the city retailer,
without the intervention of the mid
dlemen. They expect to organize II
market or distributing station, where
the produce of thousands of farms
will go straight to the hands of re-
tailers, at Il reduction to the ultimate
consumer of at least forty per cent
from present prices.
Certainly the scheme sounds feast
BILE enough. There is no reason, eth
er, why the farmer and consume,
should not go further and deal with
each other direct to II great extent
especially in the smaller cities. More
over, there is no reason why the far
mer should not get better prices ant
the consumer lower than those he has
been accustomed to pay. 1t is still ;
doubtful question, however, whether
the consumer will he willing to aban
