GIRLS MAKE GOOD IN MILLS
Pittsburgh Women Assert They Would
Not Think Of Returning 10 Their

The experiment Of employing
women in Pittsburgh mills is no
longer an experiment as far as the
women are concerned, according to
the Pittsburgh Dispatch. At least
200 are employed at the Schoen

and they say in the offices Of the
company that they are making good.

BIG GOOD ROADS DIVIDENDS
N. .orlsts Of Massachusetts, Spent $25,.
100000 Last Season, az Result
Of Good Roads.

Motorists spent SOS, 100000 in Massa-
chusetts last season. largely as a re-
suit OF the good roads OF that state.
Rather a fine dividend
Great progress has been made in Inn
proving the roads In Minnesota, but
there are communities which as yet,
apparently, see but one side TO the
good roads question. and that Is, cap
ltAl going out and no dividends com
ing back. While the returns from
motor travel are indirect, neverthe-
Tess they are certain. II is obvious
that any town is at least indirectly
benefited by having such good roads
that motorists delight in making Il an
objective on their weekend tours.
Any district that has bad roads be
comes Just as well known. but OF
curse adversely. Unfortunately. toe
many specific cases might be given

HAULING CROPS TO MARKET
Average Farmer Must Haul HE Prod
uots Sin and one-Haif Miles
Other Points.

How far must the average farmer
IN the United States haul his crop
10 MARKET Exactly six and a hall
miles. Il can be answered, for the bu'
reau OF crop estimates Of the depart
ment OF agriculture has completed an
inquiry into the whole matter OF farm
hauling throughout .he country. In
cidentally, the results OF the inquiry
show that II only one wagon were
available to haul crops Il would re-
qulre about 15.T4T,0OO days for Il 10
complete the job for only the mar
keted portion OF three most prominent
farm products-wheat. corn and cot
ton.
The investigation shows that Il re-
quires about half a day for the aver
age farmer 10 make a round trip TO
market. and about two-thirds Of a day
on the average for the farmers farth-
est from market 20 make n similar
trip. That market distances are grow
ing shorter Is shown by the fact that
in 1906 II required almost 80 per cent
more time for the average round trip.
One reason for the improved condl-
tons. II is pointed out. Is that since
1906 the steam railroad mileage In
the United States has increased Is per
cent and that many new freight-car-
rying electric lines have been built.
Another point brought out By the
inquiry is that there has been mHrked

haul Of wheat In 1906 was 80 bushels {;
now It Is H. bushels. In 1906 100
pounds Of cotton was hauled In a
day: u.w the average daily haul is
5000 pounds.
The inquiry developed the fact that
the loads hauled In the cotton country
are the smallest but the most valu-
able. Thus the average value Of a
load OF cotton was found 20 be SlS3.
wheat S43 and corn SOS. The longest
hauls were found 20 be in the Rocky
mountain states. where Nevada holds
the record with an average haul for
all farmers Of IS miles. The shortest

West. Ohio at the bottom Of the list
with four miles.

The peace concluded with Rumania
should serve as a model for the gener-
al peace conflict that will put an end TO
this conflict.
The course OF events has enabled us
10 find a method Of making conquered
countries share our enormous war bur-
dens without actually inficting on them
a crushing indemnity. This method
consists Of enforcing on them the stipu
lation that preferential treatment shall
be accorded to Germany over a long per-
iod. so that we may be fully supplied
with the goods of which we are in need.
In this way Rumania will furnish us
with wheat and petroleum on advan-
tageous terms for 90 years. This happy
solution must also be adopted in re-
gard to all other peace treaties yet to
be concluded.
