economic question the rights of the
consumer and purchaser to buy wher-
ever he can obtain the lowest prices
should not be raised and that If the
extension Of the mail order business
means the elimination of the country
merchant then the country merchant
must go.
"If such arguments were logically
sound, which do not admit, there Is
still the social, moral and religious
view to be considered. The retail mer-
chant is the backbone of the country
town. The mail order house is his
worst enemy. The farmers need the
town, and the town must have the
farmers"
Representative Hinebaugh concluded
his statement with the assertion that
"the great mail order houses have no
difficulty in underselling the retail
dealer, no matter how much he may
reduce his margin of profit. Buying
as they do from prison contractors the
products of convict labor, they secure
many Of their manufactured articles at
prices that would be utterly impossible
to obtain if made by free labor This

ADJUSTING SCHOOLS TO FARM
Opinion Advanced That Country Roya

Rural Subjects. -.

Advocating that the boys and girls
stay on the farm and at the same
time teaching city subjects in the
rural schools is contradictory. II the

Boys and girls in thirty-four schools

what they desired to do. OF the 1874
boys, 167 desired to leave the farm
and 1853 of the 174 girls desired to do
likewise. But after agriculture and
home economics had been taught for
three years the same question was
asked in the same schools. This time
1852 of the 174 boys desired to stay
on the farm and 161 of the 17s girls.
This changing of an almost unani-
nous desire to stay on the farm
seems almost miraculous. Yet it was
done through making a change in the
course of study, writes w. G. Palmer
in the Breeders Gazette. ~
Boys and girls will desire to do the
things they have been taught how to
do. Their interest is developed in the
things they are taught. Agriculture

enter productive work. If they are
not educated for it then it will be

1t is in the power of the schools to
make their enthusiastic workers or
drudges of the boys and girls.

Lee C, Denning Drives From Pas

Gasoline Average.

New York welcomed a new trans
continental motorist last week when
DR.. Lee c. Denning, of Pasadena, Cal
drove his model SO Overland down
Broadway and finished tour of 1928
miles. DR.. Denning set new record
for long distance fuel economy hav-
ing averaged 1888 miles, over every
variety Of road that the United States
offers, TO a gallon of gasoline.
He left his home in Pasadena, Cal,

to salt Lake City, and then the Over
land trail through Cheyenne and Oma-
ha, and reaching Cleveland a dis
lance OF 5000 miles from his starting
place. In % days. He visited at his
former home, in Oil City, Pa, for a
month, then toured through the Adj
rondacks into Canada and through all
the-New England States to New York.
In spite of the fact that the Over
land carried 1900 pounds Of weight in
passengers and camping equipment
there was not a serious break all dur
ing the journey, the only accident
being the fracture Of one leaf of a
rear spring when the car plunged into
a washout in the Western desert.
The two front tires with which DR..
Denning began the trip were still on
the car when Broadway was reached,

celVes News.

In this advanced age OF automobiles
big shipments. amounting to hun
dreds Of thousands OF dollars in the
aggregate are growing less and less
frequent, and when one lone dealer
orders a single shipment OF 425 1914
motor cars the public must sit up and
take notice.
This was done a week ago by the
Howard Automobile Company, Buick
dealers on the Pacific coast. Howard
has long held the records for train
load shipments OF Bucks, but his
latest sensation has far ecIipsed any
OF his former achievements.
The order required SS double deck
cd freight cars and comprised the
largest and most valuable shipments
Of hrst-class freight ever made in
the world. The value Of this Buick
equipment runs over $500, coo. The
former record held by the Howard
was a shipment Of Is double decked
cars containing 375 Bucks. valued at
s482, 400.
Manager McCutcheon, Of the Allan
Ia Buick branch, says that this Dig
order Of Towards is an additional
allotment and In no way interferes
with his regular schedule. which is
10 per cent of the factory output.
Like the Atlanta branch's condition
in the territory Il controls, only upon
much larger scale, the demand FOR
1914 Bucks on the Pacific coast has
been so great that it has been impos-
sible to keep demonstrators upon the
floor. and the factory people at Flint
are having the time of their lives
answering wires and long distance
calls concerning shipments.
