UNITE TO HELP THE PARKS

Whatever tends to improve and extend
the park systems of Minneapolis and St.
Paul should meet with the approval of the
citizens of both cities. Such is the move
ment for cooperation Of the two cities in
all park matters that have an interurban
aspect, as we'll as for the promotion of
legislation that will be for the common
benefit. Paranthetically it may be said
that this cooperation between the two
cities for common purposes, where there
is no danger that selfish interests will
neutralize the best intentions, is the best
and. at present, the only practical meth
cd OF cooperation. Fine speeches about
twin city alliances, offensive and de-
fensive. are well enough but they don't
amount to anything substantial. When
there is something at hand that can be
advantageously done in union then is the
time to combine. In the boulevarding
and conserving Of river banks, in the mat
ter OF good interurban driveways, there
are concrete undert akings in the accom-
plishment of which union means strength.
An Intimate connection between the park
arrangements of the two cities will be
mutually helpful and stimulating
Now that the lean years are past and
the people are prosperous, serious atten-
tion should be given to the matter of
rounding out the park systems of both
cities. 1t is a practical work-not
mere question of petty and pretty orna-
mentation Of the city. AS DR.. Folwell
put it at last evenings conference, good
parks mean good citizenship, because
they naturally tend to strengthen civic
pride and love and when a man loves a.
city and is proud of it he will look care
fully to its government and business af-
fairs.

DON'T BE IMPATIENT

There is a good deal of impatience
among the people and the press Of the
state with regard to the progress OF the
executive department in It's proposed
action against the railroad merger. Some
people seem to forget that it has taken
months and years to devise and perfect
and fortify the consolidation scheme, and
that the attorney general cannot be ex
pected to complete his plan of campaign
against it within a few days. It. is big
question and it is highly important that
no mistakes be made at the beginning
Mistakes at this stage of the proceedings
might be fatal where defeat would be
entirely unnecessary if proper care were
taken. The Journal is sufficiently
in touch with the attorney generals Of
flee to know that the work is proceeding
there diligently and satisfactorily and it
speaks this word simply to suggest why
the public should be less clamorous for
quick results.

From a gentleman who was at one time

about a snake that he encountered in the
woods one day, v hich followed him with much
persistence.

length. There was no doubt the snake was
about to attack me.
Without hesitating for moment I dis

nearby tree. l had hardly reached the first
boughs when l saw the snake approaching
the tree, and it climbed up behind me-
Higher and higher I went Higher and
higher came the serpent. My heavy rubber
boots were great drawback to my climbing
so 1 trtied to get rid Of them. l took one
off and dropped it, and just as 1 had the
second in my hand the snake reached for me
and I, in my desperation, tried to shield my

starving Amidst Plenty.

The attention of the TenderlOin police has
been called to the destitution Of Parker
Learned, who for many years was butler at
the Yale clubs old building at II East Twen-
ty-sixth street but who has nearly starved
to death recently.
When the Yale moved into new quarters in
Forty fourth street last May, Learned was
not taken along Mrs Cornelius McCoon of
IA West Seventy-second street, who owns the
building, permitted him. however, to stay in
the basement with his wife and little boy
The rooms upstairs have not been occupied
since the Yale club moved cut, and the fami-
ly has had no means of support. Learned is
now advanced in years.
This afternoon he became i'll in Lexington
avenue, near One Hundred and Twenty fourth
street. 1t is supposed that he had been to
ask assistance from a physician who had
befriended him and he had walked up to
Harlem in the snow. He was carried into a
saloon and there was recognized by Milton
Barber, carpenter of 2024 Lexington avenue
Barber put the old butler in cab and took
him home. When he reached there he was
unconscious, and his wife, thinking him dead
tainted.
An ambulance was called from New York
hospital. DR.. Chttenden, who came with
1t, was so touched by the wife's assertion
that they had been without food and fuel
for four days that he gave her $3.50, all the
money he happened to have. Barber gave

town, but the cabman said he did not need

SAWDUST AS A FOOD

In the matter of food economies for both
man and beast, the Europeans can give US
a lot of instruction. According to the re-
port of Adolph Frankenthal, consul at
Berne, they have found at least two ways
OF beating the humorous Yankee method of
putting green goggles on a horse and
feeding him sawdust. In both of these
ways seemingly indigestible and non-nu-
tritious substances are made to fatten the
animal instead Of hasten the end of his
activity. More than $4,000 tons Of
'torfmelassefutter'' are annually fed to
cattle in Europe. This compound with
the long name is a mixture of "melasse,' .
the residue from the beet sugar making
process, and peat. Now a process has
been discovered by which sawdust can be
substituted for peat in combination with
''melasse." Sawdust, it appears, is more
nutritious than straw. For plenty of
nitrogen, birch sawdust is the thing; for
albumen, poplar heads the list; for fat,
pine beats them ALL walnut sawdust leads
in wood fiber In each one of these ele-
ments straw is inferior to sawdust
Herein is a suggestion for our local beet
root sugar factory and the saw mills. The
factory can produce the 'melasse" the
mills fine, fattening pine sawdust. After
sawdust has been chemically treated, the
animals below for it, 1t is easily assimi-
lated and easily digested. By combining
it with ''melasse" the Shiny condition Of
the latter is removed and the fused
product is palatable and doubly nutritious.
