and lack OF transportation facilities
to markets. is what has led to the
planning of the railroad. Long wagon
hauls and transfers from one railroad
Ito another and necessary to bring the
| products to consumers in the city. A
] good example of what can be accom-
| piished in the shortening of time and
distance to the farmer in reaching the
Redwood Falls, Dawson. Vesta and
/ Marshall, requiring the larger part of
| two nights and a day of travel to
reach Minneapolis, and return, where
as by the short line a farmer can
come to Minneapolis in the morning,
do business and return home by night.
1t is calculated that the improve
ment of transportation will have the
effect of changing the character Of
tility along the short line. Instead Of
the harder products, which are ad-
apted for the slow delivery of wagon
route, the profits upon which are very
small, fruit and vegetable gardening
can be followed because these perish
able products can be placed on the
transportation What this benefit
means to the farmers can be cur
missed from the general principle that
products from 40 acres along rail-
roads equal in profit as those from 160
acres situated aloof from railroads,
and that four families can thrive
where but one can under precent con-
ditions.

IEERS articles in the newspapers

has gone mad over white shoes.
II is true Every other pair of
feet are Of a snowy whiteness. and the
heretofore favored tan shoes are left to
languish under the bed or in the closet,
or mayhap in ones bureau drawers-it
all depends on how neat and tidy
one is.
At all events they are left at home,
and all OF the love and attention claimed
by an only child is showered on the
white shoes. They must be brushed
and cleaned constantly, for In every
community there is fiend who has
prediction for stepping on white feet
and making smudges. Since white shoes
must be white, and not pearl gray or
dappled like a horse. box Of whiting
at home and box at the office Is both
a necessity and a boon.
The drug store in + street, one door
from the corner of Ninth, on the south
side OF the street, has two or three
varieties of whiting for 10 cents, con-
sistlng of a cake of white and small
piece of sponge.
An ever present problem for summer
surf bathing is the wearing of hose
and shoes for women. Stockings wear
out with alarming rapidity, the holes
appearing as II by magic. extending
over the entire foot in the space Of u
minute or two. Even on a fine sandy
beach shoes E.ust be worn, those OF
canvas and cork being the prime favor
ties. Today the shoe store which is At
the corner of Seventh and X streets
will cell white and black canvas bath
ing shoes with cork soles for 25c the

are an ample protection.
