Study of Some Things Which Af-
feet Final Delivery of Food =.
to Consumer.
QUESTION OF RAPID TRANSIT
Fresh Meats and Other Perishable
Products From Farms Must Be
Speeded Up at Every Stage
Delay Means Shrinkaqe.

One of the fundamental factors in
the problem OF feeding towns and cit
les is that of transportation. Since
city jewellers are so dependent upon
transportation for their foodstuffs, it
may be interesting to study some of
the things which affect the final deliv-
cry of food and especially meats to the
consumer.
TRANSPORTATION difficulties begin with
the stock raiser, whether he is a
rancher in the West, q corn belt farm
er or other agriculturist who produces
live stock for food. In the early days,
before our railroads We're in existence
or before they were the principal
factors in getting stock to market,
cattle, hogs and sheep had to be
driven or hauled long distances to
reach a selling point or a point from
which they could be shipped by boat
or rail. This was a very expensive
way of moving stock; it not only took
long time but the loss of animals
and the loss of flesh by these animals
was also considerable, even though the
values per pound were very little COM
pared with today.
Troubles of Stock Grower.
The first trouble the stock grower
or dealer today has in getting his
stock to market is to get to a railroad
point to ship his animals to one of
the various large stockyards to be
sold. Bad roads, adverse weather and
perhaps a long drive or haul to the
shipping point all affect the length of
time required; then there may be a
temporary shortage of cars and stock
must be held in the railroad stock
yards and fed until cars are provided.
Once loaded into cars, however, there
is a special effort made to get to the
market in the shortest possible time.
Delay means abnormal Shrinkage; if
the cars are on the road So hours the
stock must be unloaded for feed and
water; or the market may drop sud-
denly; hence the necessity for speed.
Shipping Fresh Meats.
In order to ship fresh meats sue
cessfully they must be thoroughly
chilled before loading and then trans
ported in refrigerator cars, especially
during the warmer weather, although
this practice is followed the year
round. These cars have ice tanks at
each end, which are filled with ice
and percentage OF salt and the car
chilled to about 35 to SO degrees Fab
renheit- Also they are provided with
ventilating or circulating systems in
order to keep the temperature in all
parts of the car as nearly uniform as
possible. In making long shipments,
and especially during the warmer
months, it is necessary to ice the car
one or more times en- route to keep
the temperature as low and as con-
slant as possible. Even then ON
Of
any other condition that causes undue
delay, the meat may not be in first
class condition on its arrival at the
destination and must therefore be sold
quickly even at some sacrifice in price.
Speed Is Essential
Speed is vital from the time the
stock leaves the producers hands un-
til 1t reaches the packer and from the
time the product, fresh meat, leaves
the packing house until it reaches the

Wartime Geography of Paris
The city Is bounded on the north by
supply depots, on the south by hos

Its principal imports and exports are
bandages, crepe, wooden legs and colo

Honey in Ice Cream.

Faced with a serious sugar short
age recently. two ice cream concerns
in Portland, Ore, used honey as a SUBJ

product with choice strained honey,
efecting 20 per cent conservation of
sugar. And the ice cream was found
to be excellent.

Mr.. Lon Atom, of Rogersville, for
many years resident of Greeneville,
is spending the week here, member
of the Federal jury. This is Ions
first visit to Greeneville since he left,
seventeen years ago. Like most ev-
cry one else that has been away that
long, he says he would not have rec
ognized the town. Old buildings
that were an eye-sore at that time
on the principal streets Of the city
have been torn away, only to be re-
placed by modern business houses.
Our streets, which were veritable
mud holes, have been converted into
beautiful paved thoroughfares. But
the greatest improvement of all, in
his estimation, is the new county
courthouse. Mr.. Alton has been en-
gagged in the mercantile business at
Rogersville for several years and his
friends win be glad to know that he
has been very successful.

Chief daughters made one arrest
Sunday for speeding and failure to
observe the Sunday gasoline order.
The party submitted and was given

by City Judge Bewley. We are in
formed that local officers have sew
eral numbers of other machines that
were operated during the day, con-
trary to the general request sent out
from Washington, and these names
are to be forwarded to the proper
state officials. People who disregard
an order Of this character, made sole
ly for the purpose of conserving fuel
that "our boys" over there may be
insured the proper equipment, should
be punished. A reprimand is not
sufficient in such cases.
