the Japanese Black Bear.
"WeT," eaid the Sloth bear, I'm
not sure iast who I'd want to let
know who l was, but think It is nice
to be yourself and look like yourself
and all of that"
'Aost creatures look Hike them
selves, don't theyf' asked the Japa-
nese Black Bear.
Bears don't look Ike boys and
boys don't look like bears, and little
girls don't look like rhinoceroses and
monkeys don't look like birds.
GAS far as 1 can make out" the
Japanese Black Bear continued, "crea'
lures look pretty much like them
selves"
"That Is true to certain extent,
said the SlOth Bear. "In fact 1t Is
true to a very great extent. And In
fact l would almost say 1t was en-
tirely and absolutely true"
"But what do you mean then wheT
you say IL is well to have creatures
look like themselves7" asked th'
Japanese Black Bear. II shouldn'
think that always would be. a goo'
thing. Just suppose man with
gun was out looking for bears and w
bears should look like pussy cats
that wouldn't be bad, eh7"

A line from u popular song-"There's
IL Long, Long Trail A-winding"
plies to at least one Of the many and
devious paths which old man H. @. L.
treads In his effort to make living
complex and expensive for the average
person.
The particular byway referred to II
that which wholesale shipments of
food follow In their costly travel from
the railway car to the retailer. A car
load Of fruit or vegetables can be sped
half way across the continent In
day or two, but on arriving In the city
where the food is to be retailed, the
shipment starts on a winding tran
which too often adds little but I'M
necessary costs and delay.
Eliminating Expensive cartlng.
This expensive shunting and hauling
Of foodstuffs from point to point In the
cities and the spoilage which the I'M
necessary handling causes are the big
items centralized wholesale terminals
eliminate. The bureau of markets,
United States department of agricul-
ture, has been on this trail, literally,
following shipments step by step to
determine how much expense Is add
ed to the cost Of foed by unnecessary
handling between the shipper and the
retailer. The route followed by a car
load OF peaches entering a middle
Western city over a railroad not pro
vided with team tracks well illustrates
this phase Of the distribution problem.
This car had TO be switched from
the railroad on which II entered the
city, through the crowded switch
yard. to another track which IL nc
cessible to teams. Here II stood until
the receiving wholesalers teamsters
could finish another job. After this
delay two wagons were drawn up be
side the car, in turn, and were loaded
with the peaches. ThereupOn thel
started for the wholesale house which
was two miles away.
The Transfers route lay through TIL
most cOngested part OF the city, IN,
wholesale district being close to tn
busy retail section. The wagons wen
a full hour and q quarter making tn
trip. Meanwhile, the sun beat dow
on the peaches and the city's dust ant
dirt filtered in through the crates 81
that the fruit was far from being a
fresh and attractive as when take
from the car. Moreover, the journe
so 1ostled and bruised the Fruit tina
some OF It had to be sold at a dis
Z count.
