from Madison's irresolute hand and
recklossly pointed the vessel straight
into the teeth of the storm. The sea-
board East was more for peace and at
that time the military section was the
new West, where the Tennesseans and
Kentuckians, Indianians and Ohioans
were Justify shouting "On to Canada !"
Overcome by their rash counsels, Mad
ison consented, as he said. to "throw
forward the flag Of the country, sure
that the people would press onward
and defend it,"
Without competent civilian military
leaders, without financial credit, with
out war equipment, the people could
not press onward, as any history OF
the dismal war Of 1912 will tell you.
Even the capital was left undefend-
ed, and Madison, Gin little round
hat with big cockade," ran about In
helpless bewilderment as the British
marched upon Washington.
With the invaders entering at one
side Of the defenseless town, the
president fled at the other. AS he
turned he saw the flames shooting up
behind him, he fled faster and farther.
While the British commander was
blowing out candles on his dinner Ia
BILE that he might feast in the light
of the burning White House, it's fugi-
tive master was hiding in forest but
% miles away. .- .s 49,.
After an absence Of three days, a
heavy-hearted, shattered, houseless
president returned to view the
charred walls of his official residence
and Of the capitol. At every turn he
was greeted by ugly mutterings Of the
general disposition to make him the
scapegoat for all the national short
cOmings in a war that had been thrust
upon him. But with victory at New
Orleans and the return Of peace, the
voice Of the Pathfinder was drowned
in the hum of sudden prosperity. And
in the closing days Of his admins
tration Madison was cheered by many
assurances that his countrymen were
not forgetful Of the 40 years that he
had served them in pure devotion.
Like John Adams, he emerged from
his retirement to sit in the .constitu-
tional convention of his state,
where the aged statesman closed his
active public life, as he had opened
1t, with sentiment Of humanity for
the slaves. =sis.D -

more common in the West and South
west than in any other sections of the
country, but has decreased under re-
cent demurrage and traffic regulations.
Reaching Markets by Trucks.
Direct delivery by wagon or motor
truck is practicable only where the
farmer lives within 25-mile radius Of
the consuming center. Hence this
method Of marketing affords an outlet
only for the commodities produced in
the area Immediately surrounding the
market. Such deliveries are limited,
In the main, to country towns and
smaller cities. The automobile truck
undoubtedly Is charging this service,
but it probably will be limited to a
very small portion Of the total prodnc-
ing area of the country and can not
be expected to form an outlet for the
great bulk Of farm crops. Again, the
development of cities, with their con-
slant encroachments upon outlying
country districts, forces production
areas farther from the market centers
and in the larger cities makes 1t
practically impossible for growers to
deliver their produce direct to con:
sumers. The best examples of sue
cessful direct deliveries by growers to
consumers are found in the sale Of
fresh fruits and vegetables in small
country towns and deliveries from
farms through residential
sections of most of the larger cities.

Unless Grant must be excepted.
Madison is the only president who
found the presidency an anticlimax
to his career. One Of the really great
law-givers of the nation, he was
without executive force.
With a weak cabinet, this gentle,
