and vegetables Mr.. Brand, Of the Bureau Of
Markets, attacked this problem some time ago
and now has on hand sixty or more types of egg
containa1s any one of which would be satsfac-
tory, he claims, and number Of butter contain
ers which also seem to fill the bill These are
substantial enough to stand great many knocks
and can be used more than once but are so mex
pensive as to be feasible for one use.
All this sounds very inviting to the hard
working city man who dislikes to his dollars
go in such quantities for the mere means of ami
NAL existence and every consumer will welcome
any step toward the high cost of living. The
scheme appears the face to be practicable and
economical. But, in spite Of these attractive
features, it gives cause to a thoughtful and SER
ious mind to question the desirability Of such a
method. Does this not appear to be simply one
more step in our march toward State socialism?
We have been taking many steps in that di-
rection recently. The President wants the Gov
eminent to build railroad in Alaska. Secre-
tary Lane wants to buy up Radium lands. A
congressional solon advocates federal purchase
of oil fields. The present Congress is working
out plan whereby the federal authorities will
manage the financing of railroads. Republic
can Representative in Congress is advocating
that the United States build or purchase a trans
ard for service, wages and freight rates. And
Low along comes these other members of federal
bureaus advocating that the Government take
over the functions of the commission merchant
and, to a large extent, of the grocer.
There seems to be a general movement on
foot across the land to Prussianze the United
States and to bring as much of our industry I'M
der the roof of federal control as possible. Per-
haps the time has come for to pause and to
consider what this means. Surely it is obvious
that there is limit to State control and State
ownership. There are some things which Gov
eminent should and must own and manage Of
these the Army, the Navy and the Postoffice are
familiar examples. But just because it must
manage these things, it is necessary that it be
not over-burdened and crippled by too much re-
sponsiblity in order that it may handle these
necessary federal affairs with the utmost eff
cheney.

ter. why, it's just like Spring." folks are
claiming and trying to become accustomed to
summer weather in the middle of January. "And
what is the cause of it," they are asking about
the streets, just as we recently inquired of an
authority on meteorology. This weather prophet
replied nonchalantly, saying, 20, there is no par
ticular cause for it. This is normal weather. We
have recesses like this in almost every winter"
In all probability this is quite true, but it is
interesting to speculate theory not long
since advanced by the famous Scandinavian
astronomer Arrhenius. According to this man
Of encyclopaedia mind, we can expect in the fu-
ture to see the winters grow more moderate and
the summers hotter. He holds that because we
are burning much coal great amount of car
bonc acid gas is being thrown off into the atmos-
pierre This dioXide serves in manner to
hold the heat and to concentrate the rays of the
sun, very much as does the glass over green
house. After we have burned a few million tons
more of coal, he declares we may expect to see
Greenland become as green as its name implies );
to see rose gardens in Iceland and wheat fields
rpening where the foot of DR.. Cook has never
trod
Some converts to this theory aver that al

ton of winter weather as result of this carbon
ic acid gas envelope with which we are covering
ourselves But it would seem that we have been
burning coal during too short period to make
SO much difference. There are men now living
who recall when the use of coal to any extent was
first begun. 1t may be true that, after we have
burned a sufficient amount and thrown off into
the air sufficient quantity of the gas, we may
expect the green winter to be normal thing.

the Weather Department, would not advise

The Joy of Forgetfulness

An old gentleman was discovered recently in
Kansas who has lived on this planet 115 years.
The press report states, after brief story of his
career that Mr.. So-and-so "enjoys hale and
hearty health and remarkable memory"
This antiquary is to be congratulated on his
health surely but as to whether or no he Is to be
felicitated on having remarkable memory" is
y question. 1t is possible to have too good
memory In fact, it may be supposed few of us
ever appreciate the function of forgetfulness in
human experience.
Were we not able to forget we would not be
able to live If it were not that our brain is so
constructed that it has the power to bury the
past, we should find our days grow miserable
and our nights Internal.
Medical history records a few cases in which
men were stricken with perfect memory and
they have testified that their gift was curse to
their lives Such person is slave OF his men,
ory Everything, large or SMALL important or
negligible good or bad occupies an equal space
in the mind He finds it impossible to outgrow
the follies and grefs of the past and all the faa
ces and errors into which he once fell live to
haunt his steps He finds himself unable to "for
get the things that are behind that he might
press on towards the goal of the future
He can get nothing new out of books. So
vivid is his recollection that every word and SEN
tence of books and papers read rise up along
side similar utterances on the pages which he
now reads. Everything has become old to him
and the most sparkling paragraph re-thrashed
straw.
He finds that he has no perspective and no
sense of proportion. He can't see things in their
right place Or give them their right weight; the
tlimsiest argument, the silliest words that have
fallen on his remain to plague him and to oc-
cupy the center of his attention so that new
words and new arguments find it difficult to OBJ
tain foothold.
Such an unfortunate person must also be the
victim of his dreams. normal man feels that
his dream is real while it lasts, but an hour of
daylight chases it out of his mind forever: not
so with the slave of memory His dreams re-
main as real in after years in the night of
their occurring and he finds it almost impossible
to distinguish between his visions and his eXper-
fences in the waking world.
Worse than that, he never escape from
pain. Let him suffer once and the anguish will
return whenever chance happens to recall the
memory to mind AS vines and moss grow up to
soften torn and Jagged roots of tree blown
down by storm, so does forgetfuness in the
mind of a normal person, swath round the cruel
edges Of pain. But the who cannot forget
has no such relief from his sorrow.

Toward State Socialism

The Department of Agriculture and the Post
office Department are hurrying to the relief of
& people bitten by the high cost of living. The
experts in charge of number of bureaus con-
nected with the Departments have persuaded
their own minds that large share Of the in
creased price of necessities is attributable to
surplus of midde-men. AS they see it, long
string of unnecessary dealers stand between the
producers and the consumer and exact toll for
passing the commodity. 1t occurred to GER
tain authorities in the Postoffice Department
that an amplification and extension of the Par
eel Post system might put this line of needless
tunctionaries out of existence.
Therefore, they are working out plan where
by the Parcel Post may be used the sole
intermediary between the producer in the coun-
try and the consumer in the town.
According to their present scheme, they plan
to have the Bureau of Markets make up list of
all farmers, gardeners, poultry men, ETC., and to
distribute through the Postoffice printed bulle-
tins giving to the city residents such information
as is necessary. They believe that when the
housewife in town knows what she can buy, at
what price, and from whom, she can order her
goods by telephone today to be delivered by
Parcel Post tomorrow.
In order to make this plan work smoothly, it
will be necessary to teach the farmer how to
grade and standardize his products. Some fam
lilies want firsts, others seconds others af-
ford nothing better than thirds. If the producer
therefore, knows not how to classify his wares
accordingly, he cannot satisfy his trade. To
teach him how to do this, campaign of educa-
ton has been planned 1t is expected that such
bulletins, pamphlets and booklets as are neces-
sary may be franked through the mail and thus
gotten to the producer without expense.
One of the difficulties in the way of any such
plan heretofore has been the lack of suitable con-
tainers for pershable goods, such as butter, eggs

REDf|ElD QUOTES
 FIGURES AS PROOF Secretary Claims Factory Owners Have Nothing ToFed Over Tariff.

Washington, July 8.-Foreign man. ufacturers sent into the United States during the first eight months of the new tariff system just S.8 per cent. more of their finished product than they did under the old This was pointed out last night by Secretary Redheld as ample demonstration that there was no ground for the fears of American factory owners that they would be driven from business by the democratic tariff.
 Importations of foodstuffs showed a large percentage of increase in the eight months which ended with May, while foodstuff exports fell off sub- stantially. There was a relatively small reduction in the amount of com pleted manufactures exported.
 Figures Show Results.
 ''The figures said Secretary Red- field, show, as it is normal they should, the results of our own short age of foodstuffs, arising from the in- adequate crops of last year, which condition is rapidly passing away They indicate also that our compet- ing power in manufacturing is we'll sustained because at a time when our
 
 and unwilling to buy. the item of ex- ports of fully finished manufactures is depressed relatively little and the item of imports of finished manufactures increases relatively littIe.''
 The total increase of importations of foodstuffs, the departments figures showed, was $56,750.437, while the total increase in inportations for the period was only $55,136,6s5.
 Maintaining Its Business.
 In the line of finished manufac- lures, Mir. Redfield said the United States was maintaining its foreign business we'll.
 'The decrease of exports of food stuffs," the secretary added, "amounts in the eight months to $97,57S,558, a fact sufficiently explained by our not having the foodstuffs to sell. The present large promise of fine crops has already begun to alter this situa- tion A further decrease appears in manufactures for further use in man ufacturing of s3o.66s,s77, refecting the depressed condition of industries in foreign countries.
 Decrease in Foodstuffs.
 Out of total decrease in exports for the eight months of s145,703 $40, more than $12S, 100000 was in foodstuffs and manufactures for ur- ther use in manufacturing.
 Total imports for the eight months were $1,28S, 6,041, compared with $1,233, 519,365 for the same period last year. Free merchandise for the two periods was, respectively $500, 214,O38 and s6s3,o15,455. The total exports were $1,64o,367,305, against $1,7s6.- O70,945:
 Imports for May, 1914, amounted to $164,209,515, compared with $133,- 723,713 a year ago. Exports were 161,732,619, decrease of 16.6 per cent since the previous May.

 These employees have been placed Cn the company's pension list in conformity with it's practice of pro- viding for those who have performed lcng and faithful service for the com pany. Under it's system those who have had thirty years of, continuous service and are pronounced incapaci- tated by a physician can apply for pension, the basis of such pensions being one per cent. of the average monthly earnings for the past ten years for each year of service, with the maximum fixed at forty per cent
