No one or two of these elements can wisely be developed to the exclusion of the other. During the recent auto truck show in Chicago the use of the motor truck in rural hauling was particularly discussed. Iowa 'has tried it out more systematically and widely than perhaps any' other state of that sec tion, and has found it very success ful In cheapening the distribution of food. Although the motor truck has been effective in relieving freight congestion on the railroads In long hauls, its chief usefulness appears to lie in the shorter hauls which are so costly when made by rail. It ef fectively connects the small town and even the Individual farm with the nearest big city or railroad. One test trip made in Iowa was the hauling of 3,000 pounds of eggs from a small town to Des Moines, a distance of abont 38 miles. The trip took three hoars and twenty minutes, and the actual cost per 100 pounds for freight and cartage was 36 cents. This, all-round t development of transportation lines should be brought about as quickly and natur aly as possible, with no quarrelling or Jealousy among the various branches. Close harmony and co operation among them and the full est possible use of each will he of as great benefit to the hauling sys tems as to the producers and con sumers who seem to need it most. COMPLEXIONS AND PROFESSIONS It is not a new idea that most fail ures in life are due to not finding the occupation to which one is na turally suited. But the idea that '"blond people should have blond Jobs," says Dr. Orr Edson, who has made much study of the subject, is something new to ponder over. "A man's character shows in his face ,the doctor says; and the color of his hair and eyes is a still greater Indication of the type of work to which he is suited, and in which lie will have greatest promise of k;i cess. The blond people are the north ern type. They come from genera tions of ancestors who have fought the cold and won their living by their physical activity. Those blonds are fitted for the strenuous life, they love action and danger. Most sail ors are blue-eyed. The brunets, on the other hand, are the descendant of the southern dwellers. They en dured no extreme of climate except the heat, which made them naturally Inactive. "From this ancestry of color there Is no escape, says -the doctor. Sooner or later the blond mari tied to an of fice Job will break away and take up A Real Meat Treat For You Fresh Shipment Today KINNEY & TRUAX GROCERY Ql'AUTY FIRST ' some more active career while the brunet who has been digging the ditches and energetically running In the face of his destiny will finally succumb and go sit in the sun and think. For the blonds are born to be doers, and the brunets thinkers." WAR MINERALS RELIEF The following Is the war minerals relief measure as finally adopted by congress.
