HOW TO GET TOGETHER.

The most expensive system of dis
tribution in the world may be pre-
cisely the one in which producer and
consumer deal directly with each
other. Mr.. Farmer hauls hun
dred pounds of vegetables five miles
to city market. Mrs. Housewife
travels five miles to a city market
and carries forty cents worth home.
No middleman interviewed. Produc-
er's price and consumers price were
identical. But the actual cost of
getting forty cents worth from farm
to Kitchen was enormous. If Mr..
Farmer and Mrs. Housewife had any
thing in particular to do-if their
time was commercially valuable-the
cost would have been prohibitive.
There is nothing in any cost-of-liv-
ing remedy that sees no farther than
mere elimination of some middleman.
Farmer and Mrs. Housewife had any,
enjoy the trip to market. There may
be diversion in simply getting pro-
Queer and consumer together; but
there is no real economy in it. The
real job is not so much to eliminate
middleman as to devise a system
that shall be more economical than
his, and that involves organization
on pretty extensive scale.
The department of agriculture re-
ports that consumers pay sixty per
cent above the nearby producers
price for chickens, though no manu-
featuring process intervenes. The
spread between consumers price and
nearby producers price IS sevcl.
certs pound, but the spreal n"-
tv cen the producers price o. a live
steer at Chicago and the wholesale
price of the dressed beef at New
York is only three cents pound.
In one case there is highly effi,i-
ent organization. In the other case
there is none at all. Cost Of living
is not to be materially reduced by
simply taking market basket in
hand.-Exchange.

How Religion Came In
A very pretty story that starts in
noble sentiment and closes in an aw-

belongs forever with the story of old
Fl. Hall and Whitman college. Brief
ly stated it is as follows:
When Capt. Clark was in north
Idaho he told the Nez Perez chiefs
that the people back in st. Louis had
book telling all abolt the Great
Spirit and the way to Heaven. Twen-
ty-five years later, these people sent
five of their braves across the coun-

PLAYING TENNIS BY NIGHT.

A year or two ago young illum-
mating engineer, who was very fond
OF tennis, bemoaned his ill-fortune
that he was unable to play his favor
lite game. He was SO, busy that he
could not get away for as many af-
ternoons' play as he would like. One
day it occurred to him that the ten
mis- court might be Illuminated with
electric lamps so that it would be en-
tirely possible to play the game at
night The advent of the new metal
filament Mazda incandescent lamps,
which give powerful, soft white
light at low cost, really made this
possible.
After little figuring he determin-
ed upon the amount of light neces-
sary, the size of lamps and the proper
shades to illuminate an ordinary ten
mis- court. He found that the cost
was very reasonable indeed Immed-
lately he erected suitable standards
and arranged the necessary lamps to
light his tennis court. 1t was a sue
cess in every way.
Now 1t is no common thing to find
business men, and women, playing
tennis in the cool of the evening long
after the sun has gone to rest behind
the western mills.
