Our faulty distribution of food
stuffs and other necessaries of life is
responsible to a considerable degree
for high prices TO Official
investigations show that it costs as
much to deliver farm products from
railroad terminals al New York to city
consumer as to ship them by rail
from points as distant as Buffalo, or
to deliver a ton OF coal in Chicago
as to ship it from the mines in south
ern Illinois.
High Cost of Hauling.
On the other land the cost of haul
ing products from the farm to the
shipping points and to take manu-
featured goods back to the farm is
double or triple what it need he. These
transportation costs at both ends of
the rail haul must be added to the
prices charged for farm and factory
products and the II pays the
freight"
Rail and water haul are the cheap
est forms of transportation and there
is no prospect of any substantial re-
duction of freight charges. The only
possibility of lowering the cost of
transportation materially lies in the

auto DRIVING is
RIGHT EXERCISE
San Francisco Physician Sees
Not Only Physical, But
Mental Benefits.
IS STARTLING HYPOTHESIS
Takes Exception to often Repeated
objection That General Use of
Motors is Deteriorating-
Muscles Developed

That motoring is probably the finest
form of exercise for the average man
and woman of today is n somewhat
startling hypothesis. Most of us do not
consider the driving of q motorcar in
the light of exercise at all. In fact
one frequently hears regret expressed
that the general use of motor vehicles
has interfered with habits of exercise
that are important to our natural we'll
being.
A San Francisco physician takes ex-
ception to this view of motorcar driv-
ing and shows that instead it is posi-
lively beneficial. He classiies its bene-
fits under three heads-physical. men
tai, and what he terms volitional.
Essential Merit.
at is the muscles of the arms, to-
gether with those of the chest and
abdomen, that pre-eminently and habit
ually suffer-" he says. "Here we find
lack of development. s%Oftness, fiabbi-
ness and the accumulation of unwhole-
some fat. And it is precisely here that
the steering wheel of the car may come
to the rescue. 1t is true that the
handling of the wheel, particularly If
the car is small, is not n very siren
uous form of exercise, but that, in
stead of being a defect, is an essential
merit.
.Tbe,r hest interests are met by
nreciselv the kind of efforts that the
steering wheel. supplemented by the
handling of the gear and brake levers.

haul at either end of the rail- and wa
ter routes-that is, in haulage by
highway. There are tremendous pos
sibilities in savings in this direction.
Careful investigation by the depart
ment of agriculture last year show
that haulage from farms to shipping
points costs less than half as much
by motor truck as by horse and wagon,
even under present conditions of the
highways. Thus, the average cost of
hauling wheat by wagon was 80 cents
a ton for each mile, while the cost
with motor trucks was only Is cents;
to haul corn by wagon cost SO cents
per ton-mile as against IS cents by
truck, and to haul cotton by wagon
cost 4S cents compared with IS cents
by motor truck.
Traiiers Lower Rates.
Even these comparatively low rates
for hauling with motor trucks can
be cut in half by the general use of
trailers, since the hauling capacity
of n truck can be doubled or even
tripled in many cases by towing one
or two loaded t~railers behind the
truck, using u semi-trailer with the
truck.

INCREASE OF DAIRY EXPORTS
Figures Are of Particular Importance
as They Show Trend of Trade
Following War.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Dairy products amounting to the
equivalent of 100 pounds of milk from
every dairy COW in the United States
were exported during the year ending
June 80, 1919, according to figures just
compiled by the United States depart
ment of agriculture. The exports in
clude butter, cheese, and condensed
milk. but the net exports of those
products in terms of whole milk
amounted to 1885, 95, TAG pounds, or
approximately 8 per cent of all the
milk produced in the United States.
These figures indicate the possibili-
ties of developing foreign markets for
American dairy products. They are OF
particular Importance, MS they show
the trend of trade Immediately follow
ing the war. Probably the greatest in
terest in an industry is that displayed
during the time between actual war
and actual peace, the specialists say,
when businesses are trying to regain
normal trade or acquire an advantage
in their special lines. During the ifs

During the year the exports of but

creased when compared with 1918.
The total butter exports amounted
to 80, T39,960 pounds for the year. This
is the largest amount of butter export
ed from the United States in recent
years and has been exceeded but three
times since 1850. The largest amount
on record was for the year 1880. when
80, 100000 pounds were exported. The
cheese exports for 1919 We're only 49,
794.S 1853 pounds, which is a decrease Of
more than so per cent when compared
with any year from 1915 to 1918, in
elusive. The condensed milk exports
for 1919 were 72S, 74O,509 pounds. This
is an increase over 1918 of 19S,990,4I7

Dairy Cows Produce for the World.
While the exports of butter for 1919
were practically doubled the imports
also were doubled, and amounted to
4,131, 469 pounds. The cheese exports
were not heavy for any month of the
year, the largest amount being for
July, 1918, which reached 5,656,901
pounds. The imports were also great
ly reduced, being only 2,442.3 300, the
lowest since 1878.
The condensed and e%vaporated milk
showed a continued and material in
crease throughout the year. The In
crease was greatest during May, June,
and July. In June there were export
ed 114,s35,6 26 pounds, which was
greater than the total for any year
prior to 1916. The imports of con-
densed milk continue, nut were re-
duced from 100000 pounds in 1918
to 20,1s3,72 2 pounds In 1919. Fresh
milk amounting to 2.591,553 gallons
also was imported during the year.
