There are i've times as many peo-

so that now the best books are most
In demand. When air raids were ended
and lights and social activities were
used again, the ..abit OF reading was
continued and has grown rapidly the
past year
There is an insistent demand, this
publisher says, for books that deal
with real life. II is his belief that
ont of the experiences OF war has
been born deeper appreciation of life
and understanding of how tremendous

RURAL HAULING PROFITABLE

of the truck to its maximum capacity
regularly. Many such farmers, accord
ing to the United States department
of agriculture, have gradually begun
to haul a part or all of their neigh
bors' products to market, and in some
cases this practice has led to the es-
adjustment of a regular route. Some
farmers have been enabled to purchase
trucks, because their wv business,
coupled with that of their neighbors',
has been sufficient to warrant such an
investment.

A N EPILOGUE to the story of sum-
IN mer blouses might easily be
longer than the story itself for mid
summer has modified the earlier styles
and added some new ideas to those
that the spring has brought in.
The popularity of elbow and shorter
sleeve persists, except for the tailored
styles. Tricolette was a second thought
with designers and has proved i'm
mensely popular. Just now it has
Joined forces with georgette and these
two are used together, with the trico-
lette appearing in wide panels on the
front of sheer blouses to provide a
smart vest for the street or formal
suit.
Nearly all the new smocks are very
short, made of georgette with en-
broidery for decoration. Those for
afternoon and dinner wear are in high
colors and often use a plain and a fig
ured pattern in combination. Orange,
flame, turquoise, emerald, rose and jade
green are in high favor and they are
embroidered in other brilliant colors.
Georgette maintains It's position as
the favorite material for blouses, but
fine wolfe is very close to it-may ont
rival it as summer advances. These
lovely and practical voiles are reason
ably priced and other biouses show a
decline that is promising. Wolfe is
ideal for wear with street suits and
wash satins or pongee silks are its
competitors in tailored models.
A blouse and a smock Of ~georgette

examples of long-sleeved designs. The

of wheat area, so that roads could be
improved to effect & saving on wheat
hauling equal to that cited above, and,
at the same time, effect a correspond
ing saving in each of the other crops.
The lowering of distribution costs,
it is now recognized, is one of the most
important problems in reducing living
costs. While business is searching for
more economical methods of handling
goods, the farmers have not been neg
lecting other phases of this problem.
On the prices at which he sells, all
other prices must depend. Good roads,

road-and earth roads are moderately
muddy many months in the year.
Several years ago information Sc
cured by the department of agriculture
from $500 correspondents indicated
that the average cost of hauling on an
unimproyed country road was 22.7
cents a tOn-nile. Today. with price
levels much higher, the cost would be
even greater.
While it is difficult TO estimate ac-
curately what the saving would be IL
all highways were improved In the dis
tricts represented by these replies. a
specific instance makes the benefit
plain. A farmer in a southern state
had to haul a ton Of harbed wire %
miles, over unimpr0ved. roads. He
found that with a twO-horse team his
maximum load was 500 pounds, and
that three days were required to make
one round trip. To haul one on. there
fore. required u days to make one
round trip. Allowing ST a DAY for man
and team, the cost was S72. After the
roads in this region were improved, the
same team could draw a ton to the
load and make one round trip in w
days, ut a cost of S12. The ton-mile
cost under old conditions was s3.18.
and this cost was reduced to 80 cents
bv the improved road,
Roads and Wheat Marketing.
Take the saving in the cost Of haul
ing wheat as another example. If the
construction of narrow, single-track
roads with improved surface will re-
duce the hauling cost 8 per cent a tom
mile. and if the average yield of
wheat in the vicinity of these roads is
80 bushels to the acre, there results,
for an average haul of five miles, an
economic advantage of 22.5 cents an
acre or $50 a quarter section. This ia
4 per cent on 5000. Calculations Of
this sort have shown thousands of com
munities the wisdom of borrowing mon
