A DEAD Loss.

The social unrest and social
upheaval caused by moving should be
deplored and checked, not encouraged
or condoned. 1t is a dead loss from
almost every reasonable point of view.
Often it is very unfair to children to
take them opt of school where they
have come to know the other pupils
and the teachers. Then, too, it is a
bad move to tear young people up by
the roots, " SO to speak, by sundering
them from their social companions and
acquaintances. This sort of thing
works sad havoc in juvenile lives.
Every human life has influence upon
their lives, and when good influences
of this sort are broken it often happens
that weare never happy again. Rev.
Thompson, Chicago.

The scarcity of harvest. hands
became so serious question, Gov.
Hoch wired the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and got a favorable reply
of relief as follows:
''The commission is perfectly willing
to grant permission to carriers to es-
tablish on short notice interstate rate
referred to by you, but has absolutely
no authority under any provision of the
law to force such action on the
carriers. Edward A. Mosely, Secretary
Interstate Commerce Commission.
The governor Immediately wired the
officers of about dozen railroads and
various passenger associations to this
effect:
Conditions of wheat crop very criti-
cal Outside harvest hands necessary
to save it. Interstate rate of cent per
mile from Chicago for parties of five
or more necessary. Interstate commerce
commission authorizes it. Can't you
make this rate at once?-E. w Hoch,
Governor.
cit is up to the railroads now, said
Gov. Hoch, ''to help us out of this
dilemma The situationis very serious.
The Kansas crop will be lost unless
immediate rescue is afforded"
Director Gerow of the free employ
ment bureau exhibited score of tele-
grams begging and pleading for men
ranging in number from fifty to 1000.
''This ought to solve the problem for
us, :" he said. |'We will suffer untold
loss unless this absolutely necessary
aid is afforded u.s."
AS the railroads are much interested
on the matter, as they get the freight
in the grain shipped, thev will act at
once. The rate last year, harvesters
travelling on one ticket, let lots come
