group represented was said to pos

The farmers requested that the rail-
WAYS undertake to move these sup
plies in solid trains and give them
more expeditions treatment than in
the past.
The traffic managers assured the
farmers in general terms of their in
tention Ito co-operate. and repre-
septatives of some of the roads added
that the assembly of the shipments
in train lots would make it possible
to forward them in record time. No
action was taken by the conference
and the railroads made no guaran-

READERS IN SMALL TOWNS

The extension division of the Illinois state library
finds that rural communities read more books per cap
ta than do their big sister cities. For instance, CHI
cage reads only 81 books per year per capita while
the little town of Arthur with less than 1000 popu-
lation has average per capita book circulation of
1871 or more than book month for every man, wo-
man and child in the town.
Peoria and East st. Louis too, have low reading
records while Cordova with 553 inhabitants reads 1872
volumes per person.
The racial history of the towns considered should
be known before any very useful conclusions can be
drawn Furthermore, there may be other small towns
in which the reading habit is much less firmly liked
than in Cordova and Arthur. Such statistics gath
cred in other states might show big differences, too
incidentally quality rather than quantity counts
most in reading in other things. 1t would be inter-
estng to know whether the big and little towns are
reading the same sort of books the same best sellers
and the same histories and biographies and scientific
works.

SCHOOLING THE .SMASH,ER

The Rock Island railway, in distributing to all

days when it deliberate policy of at least one
express company to out the client who put in

In red tape he would drop the matter rather than both

TROLLEYS AND BUSSES

Substitution of iitney busses for non-payng troll
ley lines is recommended a state policy by the pres
ident of the New Jersey board of public utility
missoners. Not only would he renquish the street
economically but he would enlist the cooperation of
municipalities to maintain adequate bus service rout-
ing the bus lines to insure that they would supplement
the trolley lines instead of competing with them
This looks like an extremely sensible policy. 1t
is in harmony with tendency already marked in most
parts of the country and needing only systematic
tension and control to provide better transportation
facilities than the public has had.
The motor car, because of its flexibility and its
comparatively small overhead expense, can always
serve suburbs and small towns where trolley line
would be impracticable. And here is indicated the
real function of the motor bus-that of feeder of
electric and steam lines rather than a runous COM
pettor. Proper adjustment should mean prosperity
for all.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
PINE TREE

Through the forest noppcd the
bunny rabbit gentleman. The wind
was blowing amid the trees, and
the sunshine fell in broad, golden
patches on the ground.
"It is very beautiful here,
said Uncle Wiggily softly.
cit is beautiful for those who
have no trouble, - voice seemed
to sigh.
"Ha! Who is that9" asked the
rabbit gentleman quickly, thinking
it might be the Woozie Wolf.
"Don t be afraid the gentle
voice went on. 81 am only a pine
tree. L could not harm you if |
wished, though l am covered with
needles. AS long as you don t come
too close, | will not even brush my
needle branches against you. Oh,
dear!' sighed the pine tree.
"What is the matter?' asked
Uncle Wiggily.
Perhaps you may think it strange
that rabbit could talk to pine
tree, or even that a pine tree could
talk. But have you never heard
the wind murmuring in the green
pine needless Well, then, the tree is
talking, though not everyone knows
what it says.

Uncle Wiggily with his paws, dug

back straight and upright again.

So the piggie boy slyly spread
some sticky gum on fallen log.
Then Floppy said:

you nibble any ears!" So the Gator
sat down. CHOW come on, Uncle
