The House has been asked TO ap-
propriate another $4,000 to complete
the purchase price for land needed
by the bureau of standards. This
request came in the form of a sup
plement estimate. The letter of Act
ing Secretary L. f. Sweet of the De
partment of Commerce recalled that
$4,000 for this purchase has already
been appropriated in the sundry civil
act Of June II. 1917. He says that
the additional appropriation is re
quired now in order that the entire
price may be had in the fiscal year
during which the original $4,000 was
appropriated.
His letter explains that the Land
which il is intended to purchase cuts
off the main site of the bureau from

SAVING FARM PRODUCE.
Fine Work for Small Men Done by
Rural Motor Expresses

A great deal of farm produce has
been allowed to go to waste for the rea-
son that there was not sufficient guam
tity to make it worth while to gather
and ship by the ordinary methods, but
it is anticipated that the motor truck
is going TO remedy this situation and
viii therefore be the means Of saving
much food materials which has hereto
fore been lost
In several parts of the country it has
been found profitable to establish a
rural motor truck express line, which
regularly collects the small lots of pro-
duce from dozen or so farms and
carries them to the nearest market
town, to the great advantage of all
concerned. On their return trips the
trucks bring out and distribute the eur.
rent supplies of merchandise required
by the farmers on their routes, thus
saving the farmers great deal of val
liable time.
These little rural express lines form
most useful connections between the
markets and rural districts that can be
served in no other way; and there are
| innumerable districts throughout tho
| country where similar transportation
| lines could be operated to mutual ad
| vantage. Times.

AGE AND YOUTH.
Young Man Couldn't Understand Why
a Little Courtesy Was Resented.

There was Just one vacant seat in the |
train when they came in. To casual
observer they might very well have
PASSED as father and daughter. Only
her clothes were just shade too gay to
pass muster under the strictly apprais-
ing eye of n parent, and the interest
with which he fairly surrounded her
was too keen to be exactly parental
Naturally she took the one seat to be
had and naturally he bent ever her in
sohcitude for her comfort.
The youth with. the tortoise-shel
the unsophistication that comes with
glasses who sat beside hef stepped in
reading ancient tales of chivalry saw
nothing, however, but gray haired
man lending over charming young
woman, and. with the instinct, born of
years of training, that demand respect
from youth to age, he arose and offered
his seat to the old man.
The trouble was that the latter didn t
want to be considered old. In fact he
was making a violent effort to appear
young. He refused the seat and gently
pushed the boy back into it. The youth
didn t understand and pressed his offer.
Again the man With an assumed spright-
illness demurred and turned with a wry
smile to the girl. With will-power
that would have brought him success iii
any other project, the bespcctacled
youngster turned to the girl at his side
and in a high pitched treble implored
her to ask her father to be seated. He
knew how hard it was for young per-
son to stand and could appreciate what
an ordeal it must he for an old man.
He meant well-he meant so very
we'll. He didn t see at all why the
young woman suggested the next car OF
why the man threw him murderous
glance as he trenblingly escorted hel
out. The eyes and expression of th'
boy 5 face were one big question mark
For moment he puekered his feature
into an agonizing attempt to. understand
the cause of it all. But the train wa
