BAD DISTRIBUTION.

New York newspaper tells of farmers from
Long Island. Staten Island New Jersey bringing
wagonload after wagonload OF fresh vegetables into
the city and. after futile effort to sell them forced
TO haul them back home leave them to rot At
the same time immense quantities of fruits and
vegetables have been arriving from distant
places, most of which have been sold at a loss
the shippers Meanwhile retail prices throughout
the city have been held up the old. high level.
The paper says:
1T IS not "a question Of over-production.
There plenty OF people to buy more fresh
food II IT be had cheap. But they cannot
buy H. although il reaches the city. They must
pay the prices that the dealers demand"
The situation may be the metropolis
anywhere else. But II is bad enough in all the
big cities, and the same evil exists in some degree
in nearly every city. large or small.
"a bad method distribution which makes
it too difficult for the producer TO deal directly
with the consumer. and which gives too much pow
er to those who take charge Of the distribution
It old story-too many middemen. and some
their services are worth. What every community
needs Is not necessarily regulation. but
simpler and more flexible arrangement whereby the
food need pass through more than set OF
hands most, its way 10 the consumer.
and whereby the consumer himself may do bust
ness directly with the producer if he is dissatisfied
the way the dealers handling things.
Altogether. this distribution problem is the
serious one in American economic life. We pro
duce plenty OF food stuns and other commodities.
and We can consume all we produce. But do not
seem able to pass them around without loss.

There charms in the city that the farm does
not have. The streets alive with humanity. thea

ANNIE

This quaint but charming and
undeniably popular name has no
genealogical right 10 existence.
Though II signifies grace and is OF
course closely related TO Anne and
Anna, IL has no scientific excuse for
being. IL seems rather 10 be the
natural endearmeEt rising out OF
the chill dignity OF Anne.
IL Is barely possible that Annie
may have come 10 US by more
direct route than colloquilism. A
favorite name in early Gaelic time
was Anne signifyinG joy The pro-
nounciation Of this name is very
similar 10 Annie. In England how
ever, there has arisen a fashion of
christening Annie. probably from
confusion as 10 the spelling OF Ann
or Anne.
With the exception OF Anna. the
quaint name Of Annie is the most
popular OF all forms in this coun-
try Anne Is piquant and Anna
slightly forbldding. but Annie ap-
peals 10 the popular taste and Yam
kee love OF endearment

That Mother Ewes dark-eyed de-

They will not want to-being wo-

But now that she can flirt with ease,
No matter II she's duly welded,
And ogle any nan she sees

To bind fond hearts through

And in this country Love holds sway
