...average reader, unless he be of the poor-but-honest, born-in-a-log-cabin variety knows as little about the contents of "The Ladies' Home Journals" as the average barber shop customer does of the interior of the "Police Gazette". So the magazine should be instructive as well as highly amusing.

One would imagine that this would be one of the cheapest forms of transportation there is, since there would be no lack of fuel charges, and the labor can be hired for a few cents a day. Yet in 1917, when wheat was selling for about eight cents a bushel at the place of production, the transportation charges from there to the United States were so great that...
