serious than this, 10 the enormous economie
loss due to the breakase Of more than Ave
million dollars worth Of eggs every year
The Transportation Department has sent
out bulletin to all the states and aeri-
cultural papers calling attention to the
need of very carefully packing egg ship
ments, and is also preparing to take further
steps to reduce this loss, which in the end,
illogical as it may seem. is taken from the
pocket book both Of the consumer and of
the farmer.
Faulty refrigeration in the transporta-
ton OF pcrlshable products of the farm
causes loss to the farmer and to the pub
lie OF not less than two million dollars Der
year. Every possible means is being
used to persuade the carriers to increase
their supply OF refrigerator cars and also
TO improve our present methods Of hand
ling products.
A Conference Held.
A transportation conference vas held
in Chicago last October. At this meeting
the representatives OF the various orpani-
zations worked out a definite program Of
work to be undertaken by the national
organization, As we'll as by the state organ
izations, which would avoid duplication
and overlapping OF effort. In general,
the Transportation Department of the
national organization is to conflne itself
TO national problems and to collect in
formation on such subjects as inland
waterways; motor truck transportation:
Improvements which vii! add to the safety,
economy and speed Of transportation, and
to serve as clearing house Of information
for the states. The states through their
transportation departments are to handle
all local questions. to serve as sources Of
information for the national Office and
to handle all immediate problems OF the
farmers, such as claims, securing equip
ment, elevator side tracks, stockyards.
etc. At the same time a careful program
Of cooperation was arranged 20 that either
the state or national organization caa
secure the assistance Of the other. 49,

These savings were brought about in
several ways. The Farm Bureau got
railroad valuations for the purpose Of COM
putting guaranteed earnings reduced BY
the sum OF 81. 100. 100000. This of course
resulted in an annual saving Of 6 per cent
on that amount or SlO2 ,OOO. 900. The
Farm Bureaus arguments in the grain
and live stock cases won the dav. and
saved the farm shippers another 500 900. =
600 on their annual freight bill. Then a
petition was filed demanding immediate
reductions i'll freight rates on basic ncces-
sites OF life. to be followed bv further re-
duoton as fast as savings in operating
expenses could be effected. This was fol-
lowed almost at once by the railroads an
nouncing voluntary reduction Of 10 per
cent on agricultural commodities. clear
saving Of another So, OOO, 900. The ac-
Invites Of the state Farm Bureaus in Sc
curing intrastate reductions on limestone,
iruit. molasses, etc, have saved the ship
pers at least enough 10 make up a grand
total OF billion year, or $50 per farm.
State Bureaus Active.
Much has been accomplished bv the
state Farm Bureau acting in cooperation
with the American Farm Bureau in bring
ing about rcvisions OF railroad rules and
regulations affecting farm products For
instance, it seemed wise to make an
effort for a substantial reduction in rates
on agricultural limestone within state
as test case which other states might
follow. At the request OF the Traffic
Manager of the American Farm Bureau
Federation worked out scale OF rates
The railroads accepted it: it is lower than
any other scale on agricultural limestone
within the United States and is being used
by majority Of the lines in several states
The Traffic Department has also made
special survey Of the rates on agricultural
limestone in the southeast, the benefits
Of which are available to all the states in
that section.
A history Of the rates on cattle, hogs
,ehsep, horses, wheat, corn, oats, barley.

power depends almost entirely, upon the
very weak tips. The railroads prohibit
the use Of secondhand hilers. but And it
absolutely impossible to police the situa-

and then find it impossible to collect any

The Arts and Craft Display

The display of arts and craft work which
begins in the public art gallery on Wednesday
evening, under direction of the Richmond Art
association, invites the thought that many things
serving utilitarian purpose can have real merit
also if the designer recognizes their artistic pos
sibilities.
The movement toward beautifying our homes
by discarding the bizarre and grotesque in fur
nshings and ornamentations for real artistic OBJ
jects has spread rapidly in this country, to which
the various arts and crafts displays, as well as the
improvement in the artistic qualities of many
furnishings, attest abudantly.
Fortunately one need not be wealthy to
crafty a taste for the beautiful. Good taste is
quality which even the wealthiest person may
not possess and his home, which may be store

Ripping Rhymes
THE HOTHEADS.
BY Walt Mason

We labor at the daily grind, each
in his wOnted fashion; and some con.
tinue mild and kind, and some are in
a passion. Some workmen cannot fix
a chair, or ply a saw or chisel, but
they begin to sweat and swear, and
make the language sizzle. They
grumble like house afire, both in
and out of season; they're in chronic
state of ire that has no cause or
reason. And one such delegate will
spoil the ardor of the many, and kill
the pep of those who toll at loom Or
spinning jenny. The hothead is a
total loss, and none admire his ca
pers; we're not astonished when the
boss gives him his walking papers.
How different the quiet gent! No
stormy wrath delays him; he calmly
strives to earn the cent that his en-
ployer pays him. Sidestepping noise
and fuss and strife, he draws his
weekly money. and gives nickel 20
his wife to make her days more sunny.
Whate'er the tool that he may ply,
a cOrkscrew or a spanner, he wields
! it with a beaming eye, in most eff
] cient manner. Then comes the boss,
some pleasant day, and says, j
| Reuben Smirker, we add nine kopecks
to your pay, for you're a dandy work
| er Your influence is mighty fine, you
| do no useless wailing; you keep the
/ other boys in line, and harmony's pre-.
/ vailing."
