How South Bend Will Do.

In South Bend they have a Groc-
ers and Butchers association, and al
the regular monthly meeting held
March 4 the delivery question was
worked out. They plan to have a
stock company formed, and the local
dealers will own the shares. Motor
trucks viii be purchased. A central
station will be established, to which
the merchants will take their goods
The motors will then deliver the
goods to customers. 1t is said
this plan has worked in other
places, and the cost of delivery of
goods has been cut one-half. This
means a big saving, and if the new
system to be started In Plymouth
april LIST works as it is hoped, pat
rons will be served regularly and
Systematically, and much more salts
factorily than under the old plan.
In Plymouth each of the nine
houses in the deal has had to main
tain at least one horse, wagon, har-
ness, stable, feed. driver, etc. At
least five of these houses has an
extra horse, driver and outfit one
to two days in each week, which will
easily raise the average to ten men,
horses, wagons, etc., every day III the
week, except Sunday.
If the new system shall make it
possible to serve the customers In a
systematic manner with three large
wagons, six horses and six men, the
saving can be easily seen. Other
places are working on the problem,
and if Messrs. Nolan and Strunk
have solved the problem, it viii
prove Plymouth is well up in prog
ressive methods.

The dropping out of a punctua-

A letter received from Mrs. j. III.
Wiley, formerly resident here,
now in San Diego, Cal, tells of the
warm weather they have been hav-

they had a rain, the first of the
season, and the ranchers were re-
joicing, as they were beginning to
fear a failure of the crops if the
rain did not soon come. She says
the number of tourists this year has
been large, but the tide is now turn
ing, and those who come do not
number near so many as those who
go back east. Large deals in real
estate are made daily in that coun-
try, but it takes capital to make
money, and a poor man is no better
off there than here. Times are close
for working people.

made.

One Of the most hopeful signs of the
the widespread and deep.seated resent.
mcut of the Mormon people towards
the effort of the church leaders to turn
the conference Just closed into a polit-
ical rally. 1t seems TO be the general
impression that Senator Smoot came
back from Washington ratbor desper.
ate. that he and others put their heads
together and decided that this is an
excellent time to "save the constitu-
tion,' according to prophecy.
It WASH ( very difficult to work their
church leaders up to point of fine
frenzy, and the first output was a
strong partisan article in the Improve.
ment Era, an official publication which
"hreathes the spirit of the gospel Of
Jesus Christ on every page Then
conference began, and nearly every
speech that followed contained more or
less advice along the same line. Party
feeling ran high but the spirit Of broth
erly love and charity was at low water
mark.
Nobody seems to possess the neces-
sary authority or determination TO op-
pose such political work inside the
church, but the feeling Of resentment
is certainly intense. Leading men from
the various sections of the State and
from neighboring States, presidents of
stakes. bishops, and counselors, were
as indignant as laymen ordinarily be-
come. 1t is feared that hundreds. per
haps thousands, Of loyal Taft sup
portcrs among the Saints have been
alienated.
The work has been especially coarse
and aggravating this time, as many
members of other political parties had
come to conference hoping for spiritual
strengthening. and to hear little in.
spired gospel, and not series of set
speeches defending Smoot and praising
the President Usually the political
poison is injected at the priesthood
meeting which follows conference This
time it was so conspicuous all through
every session that the praise Of Smoot
in the general priesthood meeting
aroused no interest and merely added
another grain to the accumulation of
disgust.
1t must be humiliating to Latter~day
use their leaders and abuse their organ
ization as has been done in the recent
conference,
