The greatest single accomplishment
of the Great Northern's White Flyer
perhaps was the shortening Of the time
of mail delivery whole business day
between New York and eastern points
to Seattle, as we'll as between Chicago
and Seattle and the Twin Cities and
Seattle.
It Is 1914 miles from the Twin
Cities to Seattle, and thirty minutes Of
each day there Is only one Of the
White Flyer fast mail trains on the
road, Mondays train arriving in Sc
attic thirty minutes before the de.
parture of Wednesdays train from St
Paul The scheduled time for the
White Flyer from St Paul to Seattle
Is fortyseven hours and thirty min.
utes, or an average Of about forty
miles an hour. This is the fastest long
distance railroad operation in the
world, Notwithstanding that the Great
Northern railroad's right Of way ex-
tends over the two greatest mountain
ranges of the condnent-the Rockies
and the Cascades.
The fast mail train has become q
spectacular attraction to tourists In the
West. 1t If not an uncommon sight TO
see tourists on the mountain peaks
in Glacier National Park following
through fieidglasses the white Flyer

threading its way over the Continental
Divide.
The White Flyer is ten hours and
thirty minutes faster than any other
train that runs from st. Paul to Sc
attic.
The schedules Of the mail trains
making the transcontinental link with
the White Flyer are as follows: From
New York to Chicago, 96s miles, twen-
ty-three hours, and from Chicago to
St Paul. 40 miles. nine hours and
twenty minutes.
The White Flyer was put into serv-
ice Sept q. 1909. 1t Is made up or

AN EFFICIENT GOVERNMENT
(From the N. Y. Evening Post)

(FrOm the n. Y. Evening POSt)
Whatever of evil the war of ma
tons may have brought upon us
Americans. the country is indebt..
ed to it for clear revelation of
the efficiency of the administra-
ton of President Woodrow Will
son. The great machinery of gov
eminent has functioned quickly
and we'll. If we have seen in Eng
land a fairly amazing subsiding OF
popular passion, but yesterday
threatening civil war, we have
witnessed on this side of the wat
er a similar and most praise
worthy readiness to rise above
rartisanship and stand by the
President in his efforts to take in
all possible sail and render the
ship of state as safe as may be in
the hurricane that has suddenly
burst upon it. Quietly and eiIec-
lively every disposition has been
made, without the slightest blow
ing of trumpets or hurrahing
about it; if anything has been ov-
erlooked which might have been
foreseen, it has yet to appear.
While the credit for All this
belongs to many men, the chief
praise is. of course, due to the
captain, who. face to face with a
most distressing personal be-
reavement, yet continued to wreck
himself upon his work precisely
as if his mind were completely
at ease as to all private affairs.
He has met the national einer-
gency with the same poisc and
skill with which he has held Con-
gress to its work from the very
inception of his administration.
The sneered-at-college professor
las shown again not only what it
means to have communri with
the worlds philosophers, but has
demonstrated the supreme value
of rigid mental discipline as we'll.
His hand on the helm has never
wavered: his own coolncss and
steadiness under conditions which
might have snapped many a ply
s!cally stronger man have Won
him the unbounded admiration Of
the corps of newspaper men WHO
have daily found him about the
only outwardly unruffed man in
the intense heat and gearfu!
strain of Washington. They will
not soon forget. the eloquent
words with which he outlined to
them the gravity of the war crisis
and the duty of the press-words
spoken primarily for them. but

which they demanded for publ
cation. And the public will not
forget that his message tender

which they demanded for publ
cation. And the public will not
forget that his message tender
ing the good offices of this Gov
eminent to the warning nations
of Europe was written at the bed
side of his dying wife. In every
way in this grave emergency he
has given fresh proof of his
marked fitness for the headship
of the nation.
1t was Mr.. Wilson who siezed
the opportunity to press ror the
confirmation of the nomination
of Mr.. Warburg. and quickly Sc
lected Mr.. Delano to fill the va
cancy created by the withdrawal
of Mr.. Jones. Undo" his direction
the Aldrich-V reeland act, provld-
ing for an emergency banknote
currency, was put into force, to
the great relief Of the financial
world. The President himself
moved to have Congress amend
our shipping laws to meet the en-
Urgency on the ocean: if the re-
suit of this is not yet clear, it is
certainly step in the right di-
rection. and will doubtless be fol-
lowed by others. And his admin
istration is entitled to special
praise for cooperating vigorously
in the organization of strong
committees to deal with all pha-
ses of the business situation as
the emergencies NAV arise-a bit
of constructive craftsmanship de-
serving higher praise and greater
attention than it has received.
To all of this must be added the
prompt measures for the relief
of the stranded Americans abroad
all of which were submitted for
Presidential approval-and the
constant keeping in touch with
our foreign ambassadors, who
have had to assume heavier bur-
dens than have ever fallen to the
lot of American diplomats. The
administration has also acted vi
gorously and most wisely in deal
ing with the enforcement of our
own neutrality.

RYE FOR EARLY PASTURE

Rye is one of the best crops for
early pasture and especially for
hogs. Alfalfa comes as early and
is better, but aside from this, rye
is the best. Then the alfalfa does
not stand pasturing with cattle,
So it is out of the question there.
1t can be pastured with hogs. but
they should not be allowed to eat
it down too close, nor to root. as
they will often dig out the alfal-
ia plants by the roots.
10 get the best stand of rye,
the ground should be plowed. II
can be sown in the stubble, but
this will not give SO big growth
Early blowing will give the best
results.
A hardy variety of rye should
be selected, as this will go
through the winter without winter
killing. The best variety is the
North Dakota Experiment Station
No. $50. 1t is perfect. hardy, and
will not winter kill.
After the rye has been pastur-
ed off, the moisture will have been
pretty we'll taken out of the soil,
so it will not, as rule. pay to try
to raise another crop on the same
land: it will be better to pillow it
up and get some of the benefits
of the early blowing; this will
put the land in tip top shape for
T.. crop the next year.
This method of pasturing is the
very best way for getting rid Of
weeds. The rye if sowr early will
make so vigorous a growth in the
spring. that the weeds will not
have much chance. and the land
will be plowed too early for any
weeds that may develop to go to
seed. The rye pasture will give a
fair amount Of pasture early in
the spring, and for several weeks,
and by blowing as soon as the
pasturing is done. the good eff
fects of summer fallow is Sc
cured.
