That Kind of Whistle
Invaluable to China

Ii Hung Chang, from China, Wis
tied Clyde shipyard. There were
hopes that he would give an order.
He was in one of the yards at one
o'clock when the whistle sounded.
All the workmen dropped their tools
and dashed off to dinner.
Ii Hung Chang was very upset.
"They have all escaped" he cried.
what will you do? They will not
come back"
Don't worry" answered the man
ager. "They will come back, all
right"
At two o'clock, when Ii Hung
Chang was still in the yard. the
whistle sounded again and the Wis

the workmen trooping back.
"What did l tell you?" said the
manager. 1.-The whistle always brings
them back. Now. sir. what about
that ship you were thinking Of or
dering"
Never mind the ship" replied Ii
Hung Chang. "How much do you

ROADSIDE
MARKETING
WHY PEOPLE BUY AT
ROADSIDE MARKETS
By T. J. Delohery

TXTHILE fruits, vegetables, poultry
w and dairy products are the main
things sold over roadside markets, con-
sumers will also buy fruit juices, jams,
jellies, preserves, canned goods, nuts,
popcorn, honey and such unrelated
things as baskets, flowers, shrubbery,
pottery and craft products.
These facts are revealed by the ex-
perience of thousands of producers,
but more specifically in a question
naire which the Massachusetts state
department Of agriculture sent out to
1000 people representing cross sec
tion Of urban population. Il survey of
l,70O markets along $500 miles of first,
second and third-class roads in Ohio
brought out the same facts.
The Massachusetts QUESTIONABLE was
the groundwork for assistance which
the state planned to give farmers who
wanted to sell products of the farm,
home and garden direct to the con-
sumner. 1t was found, in the replies,
that roadside marketing, expanding
yearly, has a promising future.
More than 60 per cent of the 1900
replies to the QUESTIONABLE declared
that city and town folks regarded
roadside markets as satisfactory
places to buy fruits, vegetables, eggs
and poultry products, dairy products,
flowers. jams, jellies, preserves, fruit
juices, canned goods, cider and honey.
Freshness was given as the reason
for buying direct from the producer,
with quality and price following in
the order mentioned.
In keeping with this desire for fresh,
quality products, 1,4O0 people de-
clared themselves very much in favor
of homegrown stuff. The reason is
quite plain. Green fields, fresh with
dew. and the memory of the tasty
vegetables grown In the home garden,
to say nothing Of tree-ripened fruit,
are responsible. Surveys made in Illi-
nois and West Virginia, where local
towns and cities were importing"
many farm products which could be
produced locally. backs up the answers
of the Bay state consumers.
In Illinois, for instance, retailers and
consumers expressed themselves will

POOR VISION

THOSE who would help children
4 must have clear vision. They must
see the child truly. Now there Is none
among us so wise as to know the
truth about child. None Of us has
the true vision that sees the truth,
the whole, truth. The most any Of
US can expect to see is glimpse Of
the spirit that is the child.
It is sad that so many well meaning
teachers and supervisors cultivate q
warped vision of childhood They are
so intent upon redeeming the child
from his errors that they fix their Wis
ion on that point and see nothing else.
The child becomes a child of sin, a
thorn N the flesh, creature to be
punished. corrected. re-created in our
own image. And that is not vision at
all, but blindness, for child is good.
Have you not known the teacher
who all day long kept saying, "How
many had you wrong?" and when In
formed of the enormity of the error,
shook her head and wrote down a
failure in red ink? Have You not
known the supervisor who examined a
class to find out what the children
did not know? If he finds they know
one thing he drops that and goes on
searching until he finds the weak spot
in their knowledge. Then he dwells
there measuring the extent Of their
ignorance. Have you not known par
ents who kept reminding the children
Of the mistakes they had made, re-
citing all their poor marks, impressive
" lecturing about their lack of effort,
their low aim? It was but yesterday
that | heard a parent say to a fine
boy, "Yes, l know you have an aver
age over 95' know 20, have 100
In three majors. know all that. What
[ want to know is why you couldn't
get a high mark In music"
maybe It Is because I'm not mu-
stefan. can't be everything. you
know. mother"
"You could get an honor mark in
every subject of the curriculum IL you
put your mind to 1t. don't want any
low grades. Nothing below an A is any
good. Work up that music"
Consider that. Do you imagine for
a moment that this exacting lady had
made such grades in her school days?
You know she did not. Had she been
as intelligent as all that she would
have cultivated vision that enabled
her to see strength where 1t was, see
beauty and power where they were
clearly in operation instead of finding
the one weak place and dwelling on it.
The right vision sees the effort the
child has made; sees the struggle and
the triumph shining through the low
rating; sees the steady Upward growth
of the CHILD who is feeling his way
through the tangled maze of school
lessons and adult standards and queer
regulations.

HELP CHILD TO
GET THE STORY
Education Lies in Intelligent
Answering.

It is good thing to answer Ques-
lions put by children.
But what we have to do is to look
behind the few brief words and find
out what they are really driving at.
Children cannot ask anything very
intelligently. They know what it is
they want to find out, but they do
not know how to put it into words.
A little boy wants to know every
thing there is to know about an air.
plane, but all he can say is:
Daddy, what makes it. fly?'
In order to get the story he has to
put in one question at time. Then
If he has patient parent he pieces
this all together and he gets his story
at last.
Now, we know two things. One is
that he cannot possibly get all his
education In school. The second is
the point just made, that his mind is
not only capable Of learning facts
and more facts, but actually demands
them.
Why not voluntarily tell the chill
dren a thousand stories not in their
school books?
Everything in the world has a
story. A piece Of paper. What is
it made of, how is it made?
You don't know anything about pa
per? An encyclopedia or any book
of general information will tell you
enough. Do not read all this to him.
Get your facts and then dress them
up. Make it the fairy tale it is.
Or how about furniture. The way
boards are sawed, what the grain"
of the wood is, different cabinet
woods, what veneering means, turn
ing" dovetailing and so on. Tell
him what sawmill is.
The more we tell children the more
we learn ourselves. They love me-
chanical things. Take an old clock
apart and tell Johnny what the parts
are for.
Take him down and let him see a
newspaper being printed. If you live
near glass factory or a steel mill
or an iron furnace, give him gen.
eral idea of how it's all done If you
are allowed near and it isn't too hot.

An Inviting Display.

,ing to pay cents a dozen more for
locally produced fresh eggs; and not
sufficient milk was produced in the Vi
cinity to supply consumers.
Reviewing the compilation Of the an
swers to the various sections Of the
Massachusetts, questionable, 1t was
evident that roadside markets 0ffer'th
farmer the opportunity to get a bigger
share of the consumers food dollar, If
producers will only make little effort
to grasp it. Not all of the consumers
who answered the questionable are
STEADY patrons of highway markets,
but more than SO per cent declared
preference for buying their fruits,
vegetables and poultry products from
the grower.
Here again freshness was the reason
assigned. This feeling was also car
ried out in opposition to buying or
anges, lemons, grapefruit. bananas and
such other tropical fruits at road
side markets. True, farmers do handle
fruits which they do not produce. this
practice originating with their acquir-
ing better knowledge of merchandise
ing, and knowing customers like to do
as much shopping as possible In one
place; but few handle citrus fruits.
In every survey made. freshness
stands out. In Ohio, where consumers
spend 25 per cent Of their fruit, vege-
table and poultry dollar at roadside
markets. freshness was given as the
big reason why they went into the
country for these products.
While the mention Of freshness was
general, it is rather significant in view
of conditions that less than 10 per cent
of the consumers in both states were
interested in price or the possibility of
saving money by buying direct from
the producer.
Another indication that freshness
and quality are the dominating factors
In products to be sold at the roadside
market is the time of day when most
sales are made.
Convenience is mentioned because
consumers gave it as one OF the rea-
sons they patronized these markets, 1t
outranking the much stressed neces-
sary business OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Roadside marketing is still on the
increase, despite general conditions.
Business is good even though there
may be less cars on the road. Indi-
yidual purchases indicate this; investi-
cations by college authorities and the
racordc of individual farmers showing
they rarge in average from 80 to rs
cents. Expense of operating has
shown corresponding decrease, la
Dor, one of the biggest items, being
considerably lower where hired help
is necessary. The cost of other ne
cessities such as packages and adver-
Using vary with the volume Of bust

Greenwood, Miss, he was mighty

Many of the experts believe he
will be replaced this season by
Byrne James of Dallas, Tex, a new
conner. In that case, he probably
will be given an outright release.
This season will be Hughes
thirteenth in professional baseball
and his tenth in the major leagues.
For Hoyt, the trial with Pitts

journey downward. The Giants re-
leased the former 'boy wonder"
since the close of the 1882 season.
Terry signed him last June after
the Brooklyn Dodgers had set him
