PHILADELPHIA. April 2o.-To the Ed.

understanding in tho editorial minds re-

Tho writer believes that those who are
supporting Henry Ford are actuated.

TO stop the war, which Is more than
most Of his critics have ever done II Is
recognized that the effort was ridiculous,
but every new movement w the world
appears ridiculous nj tho start and has
To be built up from crude beginnings.
Prospcctors. inventors and pioneers al

OF success,
The second reason. in our Judgment, is
that Ford showed moral courage la fac
ing sea OF ridioula. which Is more tho
70 per cent Of his critics have the moral
courage TO do,
The third reason, a. II appears 10 us,
IL that he had nothing 10 gain In the way
Of advertising, and his cmharking on

A NOMINAL SAVING
Parcel Post Doesn't Reduce
|. High Cost of Living.
Only Few Farm Products Avail
able to Mail System.

Manhattan, Kan, June 16.-Will
marketing farm products by parcel
post materially reduce the high cost
of living for the city man? Theodore
Macklin, instructor in agricultural
economics in the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college, does not believe so.
Marketing farm products by parcel
post is the latest phase of the problem
of the direct from farm to consumer
movement says Mr.. Macklin. The
main advantage to the city consumer
of direct marketing is that the pro-
ducts which he receives are fresher
than when obtained from the city re-
taller. There is also in some instances
a small saving in the prices paid
Ordinarily, however, the farmer ex-
poets price as high if not higher,
than the retailers price to the con-
sumner
only those farm products which
have a high value per unit of bulk
| such as butter, eggs, and bacon, can
be profitably shipped by parcel post.
| Products of this character make up a
| relative small part of the city mans
annual food budget. If he should
make a considerable saving on the few
products which he could obtain by
parcel post from the country. his total
| expenditures for food would not be
greatly diminished.
| Hasn't Been Tested.
Much of the parcel post business
| heretofore done in farm products has
| been between city people and their
relatives or friends on the farm. Be
cause of this, the problem of the city
man who desires to purchase direct
from the farmer who in turn wishes
| to sell farm products, has not as yet
met a real test.
''Since a relatively small part of the
| city mans family food requirements
can in any event be obtained from
| the farm by means of parcel post, it
is doubtful if the total expenditures
| for food can be materially reduced by
| this method of food purchase"
