The Appeal

Transporting Produce to Market PRIMITIVE MODE OF GOING TO MARKET THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3-Its correspondents are able and energetic. VOL. 27. NO. 34. Transpo ON THE WAY TO MARKET IN DIXIE T HE marketing of his produce is obviously one of the chief responsibilities of the American farmer and in the present age, scarcely less than a day's of our grandfathers, a few lem of transporting the produce to market liable to prove something of a. problem. To the outside it might appear simple enough if he does not take into consideration the numerous factors that have bearing in the matter. For one thing, there is the weather, which must always be taken into account in planning a trip to market with produce, even though the journey is to be made over good roads. Then the product to be transported may be frozen or eggs, or perishable, as for instance, of berries and fresh fruits. And finally there is the necessity of taking into account probable market conditions at the prospective destination, for presumably produce will sell more readily on "market days" than on "off days." Despite the complications that seem inevitable there are a surprising number of American farmers who still practice the practice of marketing their product directly to the consumer. Indeed, in some localities the number seems to actually be increasing rather than diminishing. This is all more remarkable when we pause to raid upon the facilities that are now being offered the farmer for marketing his produce at his own door. Agents of commission merchants and "runners" for dealers in the large cities traverse rural routes, regularly, buying for spot cash eggs, vegetables, etc., and to point have things progressed that the farmer prefers may sell his berry crop on the vines and his peaches or apples on the trees leaving to the "other fellow" not only all the worries of transporting but the bother of picking and packing, and incidentally, the loss from waste. At the same time there is no certainty that the farmer who elects to market his own products has not the best of the bargain. He is very likely to have if his farm is located near any good-sized town or city and if he is engaged in diversified farming or trucking. Of course the man who is farming on a big scale and devoting himself to a speciality, be it fruit or celery or nuts or grain will not haul his produce to town by the wagoonload and dispose of it at first hand to the hungry housewives. All the men in the farmhouse that he is following the same basic principles that he uses for the farmer desirous of selling to the best advantage the varied products of a small farm. market his own products has not the bargain. He is very likely to have if located near any good-sized town or farm. Of course the man is diversified farming or devoting himself to farming on celery or nuts or grain will not haul to town by the wagonload and dispose first hand to the hungry housewives same it is ten chances to one that he is the same basic principles that are the basic desires of selling to the vantage the various kinds of food. All the shrewdest men enraged in. All the shrewdest men engaged in farming—he they operate on a large or small scale—have learned in recent years that it means added wealth and reduced worries if they can adopt the principle of selling as directly as possible to the ultimate consumer. Obviously, of course, they cut out the middleman's profit and better yet, they are enabled to eliminate many of the losses in perishable products which have caused so much controversy between commission merchants and farmers. Finally, by marketing direct, the tiller of the soil can establish a reputation for the quality of his products and this is a most important asset for the man who expects to farm a farm, maintain a farm year after year, indeed, building on the foundation of quality and prompt delivery he may build up a circle of patrons of his own that will render him independent of everything because they will stand ready year after year to take the entire product of the farm and take it, too, at prices higher than price for the regular run of similar produce in the open market. As the advantages of such plans of direct dealing have been brought home to the farmers they have been gradually perfecting their facilities for making the short cut from the farm to the city dinner table. The farmer who is a specialist in fruit or vegetable raising or any other line is likely to have his own sales agent who goes to the city with each consignment of produce and personally superintends its disposition, or if he is not operating on a big enough scale to do this single handed he is likely to join forces with several others who will consign the products to who will handle their pooled products to the beef possible advantage. In any event the quantity of produce to be handled insures to the shipper thus stunted the best of freight or express service if, indeed he has not adopted the particularly up-to-date method of transporting his farm products by means of motor trucks. The small farmer or truck gardener operating on a small scale cannot of course afford the luxury of a sales agent, but on the other hand he is no longer content, if he be wide awake, to divide profits with the commission merchant who insists on clinging to old ideas. So the small farmer, if he belongs to a rapidly growing class, makes a large number of purchases at times a week and to dispose of his products in the open-air marts which are now a feature of almost all of our large cities. His canvas cover wagon is made to serve as his sales counter and he thus has no expense. in many instances if the farmer or trucker be too busily engaged upon his farm to spare time THE APPEAL. tables will grow with very little attention and consequently they are enabled to devote most of their energy to finding a market for nature's bounty. Although, as noted above, the motor truck has made a place for itself in the transportation of farm produce, the major resource, it yet remains with the good old-fashioned farm wagon drawn by one or two horses. Strength rather than style is a requisite of a produce-carrying vehicle and this same may be said of the horses employed and the harness. The growing preference of the American people for food commodities in package form is an influence felt indirectly in the transportation of produce. During time of mind berries have been sent to market in trays, boxes and crates, but latterly there has been a tendency to provide standard size baskets for apples, peaches, tomatoes, etc. In the old days the consumer who purchased less than a barrel of apples or potatoes did not receive them in an "original package" bearing the grower's statement as to quantity and quality, but all this is being changed owing to prevailing market conditions and abetted by growers who are eager to establish a reputation for their branded products. Eggs are another commodity which will bring increased prices all the year round if furnished direct to discriminating consumers. The stigma of the cold storage egg is such that persons who are keen for really fresh eggs are in many instances willing to pay an advance of 50 to 100 per cent. over the prevailing market figure for eggs that can be depended upon. Foultry raises for eggs are usually taken advantage of this and instead of the large crates made familiar by cold storage methods we now find the fancy-priced "guaranteed" eggs put up by the dozen in boxes of wood or pasteboard, each box being closed by a seal which insures that its contents have not been tampered with. PASTIMES OF THE PAST middle aged for it was said that the witchery of archery, no matter how poor the score at the cheese box target, was a great helper on of Cupid, and many marriages followed. The writer has seen the archery game played on several occasions, once on the grounds of the Knickerbocker school, with only girls engaged—what is mournful and it was!—and once, on the same grounds, with a detachment of young gentlemen—with what a delightful difference. But the archery game was not to last. It was at last to join the grace hoops, and for a time its most ardent votaries were fain to solace their grief with the game of croquet and its melancholy dawdling. When one looks back to that day, with its lady-like amusements, one can but wonder at the astounding progress made by the sex in out-of-the-box, who insists, in poem, with revolver and rifle; they play out, with podicle canes, play basketball, over play baseball, after a fashion; ride astride like their brothers—what a horror that would have been in the days of their mothers—and do anything that any proper young man might be permitted to do without the slightest censure and quite as a matter of course. Yet, there was something in grace hoops that may fondly cherished in one's memory along with the tales which you contributed your picture and some verses—and there, too, lingering in memory, are the doleful cadences of "Lorena."

Particularly in the case of the young people do these periodic visits get to fill a large place in their lives. There are hardships to be sure, not the least of them suggested by the fact that usually the trip to market must begin are daylight in order to reach the city in time to catch the trade of the earliest marketers, but the farmer folk who have acquired the habit of hacking way are invariably loath to give it up. Many a way has had its incipient during the progress of the order of produce-laden wagons to market or in the ex- change of courtesies between the farmer folk whose wagons are ranged so closely by side in the congested urban market districts. In the sparsely settled and more isolated sections of the country there are many odd specacles incident to the transportation of produce to market. In some localities where canals are yet in use the quaint, slow-moving boats are employed to carry the eatables, and in the south one man of unconventional steeds pressed a device to move the foodstuffs. Just here it may be that the old-fashioned colored folk of the south take as naturally to the conduct of portable market stands as a fish does to water.

No, no, she must never lose sight of deportment, and her pretty lips were framed on prisms and prunes to the proper tucker for conversational purposes—that is, for the little conversation that went with the game. So grace hoops were entirely an regie with the best ideas for deportment. The charm of grace hoops was slowly but surely passing away when Maurice Thompson, who invented "Alice of Old Vincentnes," and his brother, "Pickett's charge" wrote the thrilling poem, "Pickett's charge" wrote the storyy poem, "Ward the long disused bow and arrow, laid aside for villainous gunpowder, the Indianapolis News says.

Old Lindsay Cabin Headquarters Where He Planned the Campaign Which Won Promotion and Started Great Career. Ironton, Mo.—Of all the events of the Civil war that are being recalled in the half-century anniversary revival of interest, few are of more general interest than the story of Gen. U. S. Grant's receiving his commission as Brigadier-General on Missouri soil. A movement has been started to purchase the site at trenon of the delivery of this commission for a national purpose. The campaign which Gen. Grant planned at the cabin which was his first headquarters as general brought him advancement from Brigadier General to Major General and was the real beginning of his career as a victorious commander. A graduate of West Point, who had seen service in the Mexican war, Grant had left the army because he could not support his family on his salary. He tried farming near St. Louis, became a real estate agent without much financial success, and then moved his family to Galena, Ill., when he received a clerk in his father's leather store. At the outbreak of the Civil war he drilled a company organized at Galena and accompanied them to Springfield, when it was sworn in and incorporated into a regiment. Gov. Yates obtained Grant's services as inspector of state troops to report to the government, and when President Lincoln issued the second call for volunteers Grant was sent to Mattoon to muster in the regiment, of which he was a member. He has confessed that he was not confident of the outcome of his first skirmish, but he found his opposing Grant's Ironton Headquarters. officer had less confidence and had retreated before Grant and his men arrived. Grant said that the memory of that incident always gave him courage when preparing to make an attack or when in the thick of the fighting. August 8 Grant arrived with his regiment at Ironton, to receive Col. B Gratz Brown, who later became governor of Missouri and who was a vice-presidential candidate in 1872. August 9, President Lincoln signed the commission of Brigadier General Grant, and this fact was telegraphed from Washington to Ironton. Grant as encamped near a spring on the James Lindsay property, not far from the town of Lindsay, when Lindsay learned that Grant had come a生气, he moved his Lindsay and their babies to his farm near Pilot Knob and tendered his mucklinked log house to Gen. Grant for his headquarters. The offer was accepted and the Lindsay cabin became the first headquarters of Gen. Grant, although he spent a large part of time sitting at an old pine table in the shade of an oak tree in the yard working out plans for a campaign. It was the new historic Grant oak that he bore by mail, August 14, the commission of which he had been notified by telegraph. August 30, Grant took leave of his regiment on the river campaign, which won his promotion to major general of volunteers in February, 1862. His later achievements are history. The Grant headquarter premises have been known for many years as "Emerson Park," the late Judge J. W. Murray acquired the property and erected a fine residence on the site of the log house, in the surviving members of Gen. Grant's regiment erected a statue of a federal soldier to mark the spot where he received his commission. The property is now owned by J. H. York, who maintains it as his residence, but a movement has been started to have the government purchase this property and the battlefield at Fort Davidson, a mile away, as national parks. Mrs. Lindsay, whose humble home was Gen. Grant's first headquarters, lived in St. Louis, but visits the thrilling scenes of her young motherhood each summer. Lindsay, who died several years ago, was a union supporter and active in the ground war. She intimately knew all the surrounding country and did some valuable service for Gen. Grant, who rode over to the farm several times to see that all was well with Mrs. Lindsay and her babies during Lindsay's absence. **Two Squabs From One Egg.** Littiz, Pa.—This great poultry center is always producing some odd "stunt" in that line, and the latest is two squabs from one egg. A TYPICAL AMERICAN BEAUTY Mrs. R. H. Gancy, Whose Charm Is Especially Appreciated in London and Paris. New York—Here, at home, we recognize the fact that the "typical American beauty" is a myth, pure and simple, that there is no particular type of face and figure which stands as an exclusive example of American feminine loveliness. The bounded grace of the brown eyed southern belle, the athletic spareness of the York state girl and the splendid, lithese height associated with the daughters of the west—each is beautiful in its own way, but surely typical of a section rather than of the land of the free as a whole. One needs to go abroad to meet the "typical American beauty." She thrives in Europe. In London and Paris especially she is encouraged to go ahead and be just as typical as she knows how. Sometimes she yields to temptation, in this respect, and then—well, it is to laugh. Interesting to foreigners undoubtedly, but to plain, every-day home folks she is merely amusing and a trifle saddening. However, there are several Americans perfectly at home in England and on the continent who, while forced and naturally, not altogether displeased to accept this title, the most complimentary which can be bestowed by a European on a woman from the more content to retain the simplicity of manner and style which distinguishes them "back home." Mrs. R. H. Garcy, is one of these. URH, a beauty, she has the gift of forgetting this face very often and letting folks discover it herself—a faculty possessed by few women fawned on two continents for their loveliness of face and figure. Mrs. Garcy's grandfather was a Belgian and at one time was the mayor of Antwerp. On the other side of her family she is descended from the Marchionne von Ebbson of Denmark. She is a particular favorite in exclusive yachting circles here and abroad. IS EVANGELISM PROFITABLE? "Billy" Sunday Says It Is, and He Produces $70,507 He Earned During the Season.

Frame Structure In Sections From Cincinnati Half a Century Ago Once Housed State's First Governor. Kansas City, Kan.—Within a few hundred feet of the site of the new city hall and almost under the shadow of beautiful St. Mary's Catholic church there stands the oldest frame house in the city. It is the home of the Misses Amelia and Agatha Waller, daughters of John Waller, one of the early settlers of Wyandotte county. Besides being the oldest house of its kind in the city this residence has the distinction of once having sheltered for a period of several months the first governor of Kansas, Charles Robinson. The Wallers have learned that he once had his office in the front room of the house, but whether he resided in the remainder of the dwelling they now occupy. His period of residence in the house was in early '60s, before the state capital of Kansas had been selected. His home was near Lawrence, but business interests brought him to Kansas City, history says. This little house—it is a one-story structure with four rooms now, and it used to have but three—was brought here from Cincinnati on a boat. It is believed that the house was occupied in the Ohio city. When it was brought down the Ohio river, and up the Mississippi and the Missouri, and into the Kaw, it was in sections. The slides had been taken apart and the carpenter boarding removed. The old boarding was avers the weather boarding was fastened with wooden pins. Miss Agatha Waller thinks the house was plastered soon after it was put together here. Just who brought the house to Kansas City has not been established. It is known, however, that it arrived in 1858 and at that time Samuel McIntyre, one of the men who platted Wyandotte county, owned the property upon which the house stood. It is probable, therefore, that it was he who was responsible for the house being transferred to the banks of the Kaw. The house is still well preserved. The owners of it seldom have occasion to have it repaired. There never Oldest Frame House in Kansas City has been a foundation under it. Today it rests on posts. Despite its age, says Miss Agatha Waller, the house is snug in the winter time. Almost half a century has passed since John Waller bought the house and several adjacent lots. His first purchase in that neighborhood was of 14 half lots and the house. For this he paid $350. Today any one of these lots would be worth several times that amount. "When my father, bought the house," said Miss Agatha Waller, "it set several lots east of its present position and faced on Fifth Street. The porch which runs along the side of the house in its present position was then said to be on the front of the house. It was a neat house. We were proud of it and its fame of having been brought here from 'far off' Cincinnati. Of course in these days of fast travel Cincinnati does not seem far away, but it seemed a long distance then." Iceberg Like Ship New York—a vision in ice of Hendrik Hudson's famous "Half Moon" as she is said to have looked when she sailed up the Hudson river 300 years ago was sighted by the passengers on the steamer Nieuw Amsterdam. The iceberg was 400 feet long and 165 feet high and so near were the passengers to it that some of them claim they could make out the icy figure of a man at the dille. Even the masts and deck gear were clearly outlined and Captain Roggeven remarked that it was the strangest of the many strange icebergs he had seen at sea. **Penalty for Stealing Papers.** Washington, D.

T. W. SEGREGATION. The motives which inspire the white people of the country to segregate the Afro-American population in 'every possible way, from residence districts, theatres, schools and even churches, all have their origin in an intense and unreasoning race-prejudice, more intense than exists in any other part of the world. That prejudice has virtually eliminated almost every vestige of true religious sentiment from the American mind and sophisticated its reasoning power to marvellous degree. Hence those motives, one and all are earthly, sensual and devilish. But it by no means follows that the effects of the idiotic rage of the white brethren are, or will be such as they anticipate, so far as the Afro-Americans are concerned. In fact, in our opinion, it can be clearly shown that in many instances the results have been of great benefit to the oppressed race. In this, as in many other instances mentioned in history, the result of a great struggle has been just the exact opposite of what the origina- Griffin DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. President of the National Negro Business League Which Had a Successful Session Last Week at Little Rock. Ark. THE EDITOR HON. W. T. VERNON Former Register of the Treasury Who Has Been Elected President of Morris Brown College, Atlanta, Ga. tors of the movement intended. The war, which was intended to nationalize slavery in the United States resulted in its overthrow. The toleration of the lynching of Afro-Americans, with the view that it would be confined to the wrong-doers of that race has resulted in prevalence of atrocious forms of lawlessness all over the country, investing it. in some instances with power to defy even the state-government and inciting it with sufficient malice to murder the officers of the law. Now segregation, the result of hate and prejudice and intended for an evil purpose, has in many instances produced effects just the opposite of what were intended, as can easily be shown by some specific instance which we shall adduce. In many of our cities Afro-Americans are rigidly excluded from certain "residence districts" and not allowed to purchase or rent property therein for love nor money. In some of those cities, the Afro-Americans have bought suburban homes and made neighborhoods of their own and very attractive neighborhoods in the bargain. They have entirely deserted the courts and alleys in which they formerly lived and for which they paid high rents to the white landlord. And these neighborhoods have given rise to a large class of Afro-American men who are doing business and being supported by the people of their own race. Such neighborhoods are found in St. Louis, Cincinnati, Chicago and many other cities. So, in such instances, the segregation has resulted in giving the trade of the race of the men of the race, and in taking it from the white men who used to monopolize it. We are well acquainted with one southern city which is actually and completely surrounded by suburban settlements of Afro-Americans, so that white people who wish to live in the suburbs are compelled to pass outside of that ring and purchase property further out. And contrary to the usual rule, the property owned by the Afro-Americans is rapidly increasing in value and receives a full share of the improvements ordered by the city authorities. CULLMAN ALABAMA A visitor to this city gives the following account of a town in Alabama: "Cullman does not allow a Negro within her corporate limits. The town was originally settled by a lot of German immigrants from Europe and Pennsylvania shortly after the civil war, and after about ten years' experience with a large number of Negroes who lived in the town and surrounding country, the people decided they would have to get along without the 'brother in black.' So they notified all the Negroes to get out and stay away for good. This policy has cost the town heavily, however, because all the surrounding Negro trade now goes to other towns, and thousands of dollars are annually lost to the Cullman merchants. Cullman affords a fine illustration of what fools people can make of themselves. The town is of course surrounded by a dense population of Afro-American farmers and the town trade is just about nothing. Any one visiting Cullman, will doubtless find a poor little starveling hamlet, with not a decent store, hotel, or saloon in the whole place. The brother-in-black is not losing much by being tabooed by Cullmanians. At last it may be said a real philanthropist has been found in the person of Dr. D. K. Pearsons of Hinsdale, Ill., who has distributed a fortune of $7,000,000 in beneficences. He wound up by giving his residence and five acres of ground valued at $35,000 for library purposes and he has gone to the Hinsdale Sanitarium at the age of 92, almost penniless, to end his days. Postmaster General Hitchcock in a report to Speaker Clark recommends the adoption of a basis of payment according to the actual space occupied by the mails while en route. He says such a readjustment would save the Government $9,000,000 annually. Gov. John K. Terer of Pennsylvania is greatly shocked at the brutal burning at the stake of Zacharias Walker, an Afro-American in that state and has ordered a searching inquiry. When President Taft called the special session of Congress, many of his political friends thought that he had made a great blunder, but the results show that he was right. Dr. Dudley A. Sargent, a physical culture expert, would abolish vacations. He says the average man is harmed by loafing and overeating on holiday. THE CAPITOL A WEEK IN WASHINGTON HARRIS & EWING WASHINGTON, D.C. The Genial Secretary to the President Whose Pleasing Personality is Making Friends for the Administration, Washington, August 23, 1911. Reports from all parts of the country indicate that President Taft will be renominated. Of course the Afro-Americans will not figure to any great extent in the nominating convention when it is held in June 1912, but they'll have a hand in the election. It is said that a non office holding Afro-American will be put in charge and a vigorous campaign waged. If this is done and the right man selected, and the matter properly managed, the few recitants of the race may be brought back into the party fold. The great majority of the thinking men of the race are already in line and there is no doubt that President Taft will get the support of the race in the election next year. Great Advance at Howard University. The past year has been one of marked advance in the work of Howard University. The total attendance has increased from 1,253 to 1,382. These students come from thirty-seven states and ten foreign countries, showing that the university is international in its character and influence. President Thirkield, who has led this great advance, is not satisfied without continued progress.

Francis, on the one side and Mrs. lone Glis, president of the other side of Miss Carter, the guest of honor.

Church, Minneapolis, where she gave an extended account of trip and the work the clubs have accomplished. The reception being a ladies affair was a veritable "Adamless Eden" most of the time, but there were a few exceptions, presenting, representing the pulpit and the press, who, however, were completely paralyzed by the stunning gowns of the ladies present, who, in turn, were the audience of Mother Bye, perhaps, certainly eschewed all of the simplicity of her garb of fig garb. Very dainty, toothsome refreshments were served during the reception, and she was a charming success in every way. There were upward of two hundred and fifty present during the afternoon. 8 To include with the other good things you pack in your picnic basket Hamm's Beer A most delicious, wholesome and thirst satisfying beverage "Leads them All" Theo.
