 RUTH BYBEE'S EXHIBIT AT THE STATE FAIR, UTAH 



This little girl made every article in the exhibit and dressed the doll for good measure. 

 Her Battenburg lace, her hand-painted china, no less than her jellies, jams, and pickles, show 

 how good training may make a girl independent (see text, page 101). 



will content ourselves with the Brazilian 

 product. 



TFIE WORLD OUR SERVANT 



And so, when we come to reckon up 

 those who have helped produce the raw 

 materials of which our foods are made, 

 we find the clouted African savage and 

 the American stock grower ; the South 

 American Indian .and the California 

 truck farmer ; the Javanese coffee picker 

 and the Virginia dairyman ; the turbaned 

 Arabian and the New York orchardist ; 

 the Chinese coolie and the Dakota wheat 

 farmer ; the Mexican peon and the Ches- 

 apeake Bay fisherman ; the Porto Rican 

 planter and the Hawaiian sugar grower ; 

 the Spanish olive packer and the Alaskan 

 Eskimo fisherman. 



Yet all these neglect the matter of 

 transportation. Our food comes to us on 

 the heads of Indians, on the backs of 

 donkeys, drawn in carts by huge water 

 buffaloes, aboard the "ship of the desert," 

 on wheelbarrows propelled by Chinese 

 coolies. Steamships, railroad trains, auto 

 trucks, and delivery cars have all played 

 their part in the great work of catering 

 to discriminating appetites. 



Truly the man who dines well ought to 

 be a deep student of geography, for all 

 races, all nationalities, all types of peo- 

 ple, all points of the compass, all lati- 

 tudes — continent, island, river, and sea — 

 all must come to him as he looks over the 

 bill of fare and tries to find those things 

 that delight his palate.
