they brought Is cents per quarter
peck. Fairly good apples sold at 10
cents per quarter peck, but many of
inferior quality were disposed at
lower figures.

COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
Roadside HIarketS in Day of Automo-
biIes Suggested as Means of
Helping to Win the War.

Richmond, Va. Aug. "A brand
new means OF helping to win the
war through food conservation is
being considered by the Council Of
Defense. The idea was born in
Pennsylvania. where it has been effec-
lively used in some sections. The
plan now is for every State TO adopt
somethink like it.
1t is what might be called ian au-
tomCbile roadside market" A num-
Der Of farmers in Virginia are regu-
!arly selling fruit. butter. eggs, poul-
try and vegetables to automobilists
who pass their farms, and it has been
found to be good business for the
farmer. This traffic, however. is at
present too casual TO be Of much i'm
portance considered frcm the point
Of view of the whole state and the
food supply.
1t is proposed that if the farmers
of particular districts, and their
wives and children, were to agree to
mold regular roadside markets at given
hours on given days, this business
would be sure to attract city folks
% the advantage of both the farmer
and the city buyer.

is impossible for the farmer whose
surplus of fruit and vegetables is
small, to take them any considerable
distance for sale. More and more
the business of hawking and peddling
farm produce is becoming distasteful
to the farmer. Under present condi-
ticns mot only will quantities Of
fruit and vegetables 20 70 waste bat
even the butter ard eggs from the
farm will reach the consumer in more
or less forlo-n condition because OF
delay in collecting and marketing.
Every bit Of fruit and all the vege-
tables which can be brought by any
means to the city table will relieve
Gore staples for starving Europe.
while .benctitine American.
Suggestions for the new market
ing scheme are offered as follows:
Such market should be he'd at
specified places on specified days Of
the week. It should begin about tour
,. M, but earlier on Saturdays.
'.Lhc place selected should be pref
erably a shaded spot on a we'll
travelled road which ;is'compsrativelY
free from dust. The material for
sale can he placed on q .arge, clean
wagon. on portable tables, or attrac-
lively arranged on the grass a little
back from the roadside
Special baskets may be made up
containing variety of products
baskets to sell for 25c, soc, 75c and
$1.O0. in which case tags should show
plainly the rame and post office ad-
dress Of the producer and the quanti-
~, variety and price of everything
IN the basket. Thus the buyer would
know from whom to duplicate orders
and could even order in advance by
mail.

may be stated that a few evenings

above.
It will be obvious that the fore
going appropriations are almost en-
tfrely to meet immediate emergen-
cies. Certain Of the sums appropriat-
ed for the use of the Special Com
missions sent to Europe may not be
used, but in order that such relief as
could be extended should be given
Immediately, if needed, it was con-
sidered wise to place certain funds
at the disposal of these commissions.

der consideration for effort upon a
much more extensive scale, specially
for the most effective possible CO.

The expenses of the Red Gross
Commission tc France and to Russis
have been met by private subscrlp-
ton. The purpose of the Special
Commissions to Roumania and Italy
is primarily to report on the needs
in those countries: The expenses are
for purposes Of survey and in only
small measure to extend the relief
Many members of these commission:
pay all their own expenses.

Cross a year ago there were 70

ters; today there are 700 paid en-
ployees and 81 full-time volunteers
The number. of members Of the Rec
Cross on August /, 1916, was 2G6,

2,547,4l2 members. Over 5000 pieces
Of mail come into Red Cross head
quarters every day, and each mus
receive attention.
The full time volunteer workers
who are aiding in administering th'
affairs of the Red Cross during thu
war, include the head of the lafges
copper company in the world, a banl
president, railroad vice-president
and numerous men of influence ant
prominence from an PARTS of the
United States. The ability and ell
thusiasm which has been placed free

remarkable features Of this enter
