Useless Moving Of Crops.

The country has another bumper
crop to move, yet the railroads, to
take them at their word, have done
very little In a practical way to stave
off the usual car famine. J. ]. Hill,
who speaks for the railroad interests,
says that enormous outlays will be
necessary at once in order to equip the
lines for handling the normal increase
Of traffic. In some quarters there is
complaint that the public attitude to-
ward the railroads does not encourage
the owners to put money into new.
equipment wheneysF they can avoid 1t.
Meanwhile II the soil kssps on gielgr
ing generously, the public m6stsEet
around the crop moving problem eas
best it can.
More waterways are coming some
time to relieve the rails of part of the
transportation burden. But it may not
be necessary, after all, to await the
digging Of bitches, widening of creeks
and dredging of chOked up channels.
A little figuring and dividing on the
olive and let live" rule ought to help
some. The roads now often haul the
soil products twice as far as they
need to be moved. They get a long
haul from the farm to the wholesale
markets first, then long haul back to
town and village retail markets within
a short haul Of where they were
grown. Probably one-half Of the but
ter, eggs, potatoes, meal and -four
bought at retail in this country travels
500 to 1000 miles needlessly because
middlemen and railways working with
them have complicated the process Of
moving food from the farm to the
table.

Says Attentions to Women
We're Purely PlatOniC.
WILL FIGHT THE DIVORCE SUIT.
His Wife Declares He Gave Money.
Jewelry and Other Presents to
Two Whom She Names
In Affidavit.

New York, Dec. 9.-Frank ]. Gould,
who has fortune of not less than
$15,OOO,OOO, inherited from his father,
Jay Gould, declared today that his
wife's charges Of infidelity are unjust
and that his attentions to the two wo-
men she names In her divorce suit
were purely platOnic.
He announces that he will defend
the suit in the courts and says he is
anxious for an early trial Of the case.

The Holiday Of Holidays.

In declaring that without the exhila.
ration to be derived from alcohol the
average American would sink into
humdrum and lack the spur Of ro.
nance Professor Munsterberg ignores
the genius Of Christmas, which holds
this nation under a universal spell.
Christmas comes but once a year, yet
is never wholly absent as an melting
force. 1t is always coming and is the
one holiday which every one intends
to prepare for-moreover, enjoys pre-.
pairing for-for 1t is open to a variety
Of establishment. Thanksgiving is al.
most fixed duty. 1t fits into the year
as does the dinner hour into the day.
Feast and thanks are always ready
and always just about the same.
There is never q Christmas so barren
Of cheer that any normal person can
VOW to cut II out in future and not end
by cutting out the resolution instead.
The vision Of Christmas cheer works
out among grownups the same as the
Santa Claus idea among children.
When things go wrong Santa Claus
has met with mishap or had a poverty
year or there were more good children
to reward than the saint figured on
when laying in stock. So, while believ-
ing that the best Christmas ever can
be improved upon, we refuse to believe
that the worst may not be and should
not be redeemed, because-well, be-
cause Christmas Is Christmas. There's
the inspiration, ceaseless and inde-
structible, to lift the individual and
society above the humdrum.

MRS. FRANK ]. GOULD.

Hotel Grand in Paris in the autumn
of 1906 adjoining and connected with
the apartment occupied by Marjorie
Stevens
Then 1t is alleged that Mr.. Gould
availed himself Of the connecting doors
between the apartments and visited
Miss Stevens in her apartment during
the fall and winter of 1906 and 1907.
Still another paragraph alleged that
on their return to New York Mr..
Gould continued his attentions to Mar
jorie Stevens.
1t was alleged in one paragraph that
Frank ]. Gould first met Rose Winter
at Martins in April or May, 1906, and
that he had given a diamond ring, a
gold purse and various sums Of money
at different times, one of the gifts be-
ing $4,000, to Rose Winter.
Then Gould was charged with visit
ing Rose Winter at the Hotel Shore
ham.
Justice Seabury ruled that these gifts
to Rose Winter were not platonic gifts,
but the motive for her acceptance of
Mr.. GOuld's attentions.
Miss Winter is an English actress
who some years ago married Percy
Winter, writer of London. She Is
blond and slender, with blue eyes and
golden hair. She was one of the Glib
son girls in Thomas w. Ryley's pro-
duction of "The Belle of Mayfair" and
her last engagement was with Miss
FRITZ Scheff in "The Prima Donna"

asked.

approaching the extent that would JUS
