NEAR MARKET OFTEN BEST.
Village May Buy Better Than City In
Certain Seasons.

Markets in the larger cities are
sometimes glutted with heavy arriv-
ais OF perlshable fruits and vegeta.
bles, especially from July to Septem-
Der. At the same time supplies may
be relatively light in smaller cities,
and still more so in towns and vii
lagos. Hence low prices in the big
markets, while prices may be quite
good in the little places.
Often one can sell stuff In the near
by village or small town and net much
better prices than to ship to the larg-
er market in distant cities, says the
editor Of Farm and Home Make the
most of your home market nairymen
who do this usually net much more
for their milk than shippers to the big
cities.
Fruits and vegetables frequently
are in such over supply at Chicago
New York and other great centers
that at such seasons consumers IN
those cities buy food more cheaply
than can consumers living within the
area where the produce is shipped
One family that has lived in yariodt

MUTILATED
MEN TRAINED
Nearly Two Million Men Attending
Schools For Cripples and Those
Manned During the
War
TBy United Press.l

NEW YORK, Dec. "a. How
France, with the aid OF benevolent
Americans, is making II possible fo1
men mutilated in the war to carr
good liwelihoods and be. independent
of charity. was told here today By
Bernard J. Shoninger. former presi
dent of the American Chamber o.
Commerce in Paris. He is in Ameri
ca for a brief stay.
Shoninger, as president of the
Union of Foreign Colonies Of France
had much to do with starting the
schools for mutilated soldiers. He
says about 100000 Frenchmen
were severely crippled in the war.
Schools were started throughout
France for these cripples while the
first OF the men were waiting for
their artificial limbs to be fitted.
said Shoninger.
I'VE tried as far as possible to
nave the man returned to his former
sphere OF activities If his physical
condition would permit. Often he
felt that he could not return to his
former occupation. One example OF
this is a tailor whose right arm was
amputated. We talked aim into try
ing to learn to sew with his left
hand. After four weeks he could
make pair of trousers; in two
months he made a suit OF clothes,
and in three months he returned to
Algiers, to reopen the tailor shop
that he had closed when the war
started.
I'VE graduated from our schools
alone over 5000. for all of whom
were found situations. We obtained
a generous amount of money from
America in the very beginning. most
of ii through the influence of Mrs.
Edmund L. Pay1ies, chairman Of the
American committee, and it was due
to her efforts that several millions
OF francs were sent to France. II
vas Mrs. Baylies who interested Mr..
Edward T. Stotesbury, of Philadei
phia, who founded one of our schools
and has turned the money over an
nually 10 il since 1915, amounting to
about $4,000 a year, for the running
of that school alone.
These are not small schools, but
regular institutions comprising sew
eral buildings. For example, We
teach all trades that would be used
in any small country town or village,
such as those of co5bler, carpenter,
cabinet maker, the work OF the
handy man about town. and repairer
of locks. For those who are unable
TO learn these trades, We have
schools for teaching typewriting and
stenography. English and French.
Our teachers are persons who have
been mutilated in the war.
Then we have a wonderful farm
school fifteen miles outside Of Paris,
model American farm of over 100
acres. where we teach farming OF
every kind, from planting and har-
vesting to catching rabbits and pre-
pairing the skins"
