ACCURSED DISTRIBUTION. SAMUEL RU3EH, HE SAVED. THEY PRAYED, IT RAINED. WE EAT TOO MUCH. It costs more to carry a sack of potatoes from the train to a ft ore in New York City than it does to ship the sack 1,100 miles by railroad. \ The fanner raises the calf, weans it, feedis it, feeds and milks the grown cow, and gets for the miik a quarter of the money paid by the pcrmn that drinks the milk. You caiftriner freight across the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean, for less than it costs to take it across the North River in New York City; The curse of business is the high cost n i dirlribittion. Production we understand, in distribution wo are as backward as Fiji Islanders. Samuel Rubcl came from- Raati* a . few -years ago. ..He hadnt a dollar,' bot^he did have a distinct idea that a ""dollar jvas worth hav ing:: alto he realized~tl\at the only way to have rAany dollars is to save the first few. A little while ago he was peddling coal for a living, today he is head of hrs own $50,000,000 ice and coal concern. Young gentlemen, it fays to salt even a LITTLE. The prices of automobile tires have gone up from 10 to 12 per cent "in London. They are going up here. "If you need tires, go and buy them. TKey will be much ilourer before they are-cheaper. The,. United States Government investigates what happened to wheat, when the price suddenly dropped from $2 to $1.40, making millions in profits for "shorts." They are gentlemen that never dug in the ground, ran 'a harvest yioyvu i.o.:' rain, anu tae ne-xfr uifrht, in almost rvery port of the Btfl rain Jell 111 torrents, and the ? weather bureau announces more. Nothing could be more edifying, but formers in .Colorado are puz, y.'od. They cannot understand why Providence should answer the prayers of busine.-j men that pnly deal in crops after ignoring the prayers and heavy losses of the farmers that RAISE the crops. However, the ways of Providence are beyond human understanding, and farmers ought to know it. It is possible to be a criminal | and not be a complete fool. Harry Valkes, of Pittsburgh, makes, and? - sells bootleg whiskey. He tells the Judge: "It is all right to sell, but to ('.rink myself, nothifig do ing. Only fools drink now; wise ones sell." ?' ? t. Business on a big -scalp is grow ing in big things and little things. One chain of grocery stores does a business of more than *352,000, (>00 a year. One flv( and ten cent store chain a little while ago announced as its ambition a business of $60,000,000 a year. It dpes nOw more than $250,000,000 a year. ' In retail -business there is un limited prosperity for the man that understands the meaning and use of the three marie 'words ? "ORGANIZE, DEPUTIZE, SU PER.VTSR" ' Professor Max Rubner, of Berlin, says Americans eat more on the average ? 3,303 calories daily ? than any other nation. England comes next, with 2,997 calories. It; is certain .that this country eats too much, and wastes about as much as it eats. Half we eat keeps us alive. One' quarter keeps the doctors alive, and one quarter supports the undertakers and cem etery owners. Eat half, leave the table for ten minutes, and once digestion starts you'll know you've eaten enough. DIVISION OF MARKETS OFFERS ITS SERVICE Raleigh, N. C., May 18?
