WHEN AUTO TRAFFIC
is THE GREATEST
Sunday Auto Travel Exceeds All Other
Days of Week-Tuesday and
Wednesday Lightest.

If you are going on an automobile
trip and want to avoid all possible
traffic you should go on Tuesday or
Wednesday, Such is the conclusion
reached from a study of traffic CEN
sus taken recently by the bureau Of
public roads, United States department
of agriculture, on one Of the most tray.
eled roads in the United States. If you
want to 60 at an hour when there will
be the least traffic, start between 2 and
3 o'clock in the morning.
Traffic increases in amount steadily
from Wednesday to Saturday, the cen
sus shows, and then jumps into big
volume on Sunday The volume on Sun
day is about twice that on Tuesday or
Wednesday On Monday there is de-
eided drop from the Sunday figures and
on Tuesday the lowest ebb is reached.
There is less traffic on the road be-
tween 2 and o'clock in the morning
than at any other time of day. From
3 o'clock to there is slight increase;
then a steady climb until RI. Between
IL o'clock and ! there Is slight drop,
but then an increase again until the
peak is reached between and 3. After
3 o'clock traffic drops slightly until
when the decrease becomes more pro-
nounced. BY midnight traffic has al
most reached its lowest point.
Ninety per cent OF the days traffic,
the census shows, rolls over the road
between I a. m. and p. M, and 50
per cent between | p. m. and p. m.

FRUIT GROWERS EXHIBITION.
25th Anniversary Show of State Asso-
citation Will Be Held at Rut-
land Nov. ~ and IS.

The 25th anniversary exhibition Of
the Vermont State Horticultural So
ciety win be held in Rutland Nov. IL
and IS, according to an announcement
issued from the Office of the secre-
tary, Prof. NJ. b. Cummings of Bur
lington. Plans for the show have been
under consideration all summer. and
have finally been consummated, and
the premium list, which is very extern
siye-much more so than for many
years, is soon to be sent out in large
numbers throughout the state, and to
many of the New England states.
The premium list embraces prizes
for apples on plates for a display of
nearly 40 varieties; most artistic dis
play; shallow box display with apples
only one layer deep; barrel and box
exhibits of standard varieties like Spy,
Greening, Baldwin, Mcintosh, Famcuse
for which Vermont is famous; tor
general displays Of apples in boxes,
barrels, hampers, baskets, plates, etc;
for a 50-apple exhibit where the fruit
is placed on tables in some artistic or
geometrical arrangement with oppor-
tunity for original ideas.
Prizes are also offered for plate col
lections of pears. for attractive dis
plays Of named varieties of potatoes,
for exhibits Of canned fruit and yege-
tables, and the attractive display of
apple products in any form. There are
also premiums for amateurs and, FOR
boys and girls.
The real purpose Of the exhibition
is to reveal the possibilities of great
and refinement in the
fruit industry, and TO stimulate pro-
duction and consumption. There is
plenty of the ordinary; too little Of
the extraordinary. However, it Is a
fine art to show nature products in
all their physical and artistic beauties.
Just as one prefers and enjoys real
landscape to a picture of it, 50 one
would delight in splendid displays of
gorgeously colored fruits, some Of the
most beautiful things in all the world
To see such things lifts one out d the
routine of mediocre affairs and to the
realm of enthusiastic appreciation of
nigh ideals.

WOULD ALLOW
ROADS TO CUT
FREIGHT RITES
Amendment Proposed to Transporta,
tion Act to Give Freedom of
Action.

Washington, ID. G., Oct. l4.-An
amendment to the transportation act
which would permit railroads on their
own initiative to cut freight rates On
foodstuffs, coal and building materials,
without waiting for authority by the
interstate commerce commission, was
proposed in a bill introduced to-day
by Representative Jefferis, Republican,
Nebraska.
Mr.. Jefreris declared such a law
would enable the roads to move farm
and other products, which shippers
would not offer, because of high rates,
and get them to market before they
persisted by the wayside.
The rates thus fixed would sDecome
effective Immediately upon the filing
Of notice by the carriers with the cont
mission, or state commissions, ins.ead
of the thirty day notice, as now re-
quired, with later hearings before APP
proval.
"This act would give any road the
right to clean up immediately all such
traffic on its lines, much of which
spoils because it cannot be shipped"
Mr.. Jefferis said.
