The Elirnination Of waste.

ut Is the el1mtnatlOn aM0 utltlzA-
|tion Of waste, waste effort, waste
time and material, the minimizing OF
destruction and damage, wear and
tear, that produces the great results
lin the Industrial world. There Is no
magic in these accomplishments. The
leaders in action or thought are not
magicians but steady. persistent
workers. Theo. N. Vail, president
American Telephone and telegraph
Company.
There are two ways to eliminate
waste. One is to prevent its occur
renee entirely. The other Is to util-
ize waste in such q way as to bring
Ia profit.
For example, consider the thrifty
Scotch traders. They save things
that other people waste. They util-
ize the SCOT from their chimneys to
manufacture shoe backing. They
import scraps OF wood from the Scan
sdinayian sawmills to be used as fire
wood. With cork shavings brought
from Spain and Portugal they manu-
facture linoleum. They ship their old
tin cans to the continent where they
are melted into block tin (or at least
they did before the. war broke out1.
The old rags Of the world are
brought to Leith to be converted into
paper. They export old horse shoes
to China where the Mongols convert
them into cutlery and domestic uten-
sils.
The secret Of British success In
manufacturing IL said to lie in the,
efficiency Of labor In England, and in
the elimination Of waste is to be
found the reason for the industrial
supremacy Of Lancashire and York
shire.
Theodore 81. Price, an American
economist, says that in the cotton
mills Of Lancashire a very large pro-
portion of the cotton waste discard
ed by our American cotton manufac-
lures is being worked over. It is
mixed with a certain proportion of
American and East Indian cotton and
spun into yarns that are extensively
used for, welt. or. filing.
The coal that is used in the Lam
cashire cotton mills costs about 1925.
per ton, and yet In one Lancashire
mill the cost OF coal per indicated
is less than seven dollars
per annum for fifty-two weeks and
slxty-six hours each. This is said toN
be below the average In America,
and the difference is due to better.
stocking and more careful conserya-
ton OF the heat produced.
But American manufacturers are
learning the lesson. In the matter Of
devices, there is no
doubt that America leads the world.
The experience Of q large Philadels
phia hat manufacturer is typical
one. This company installed an ex-
tensive mechanical system Of quick
delivery of materials and finished
product within It's plant. The mana
gers estimate that by eliminating I'M
large measure their old burden Of
trucking, and by expediting material
in Its progress through the factories,
they save every year the cost Of the
entire system. Such economies
mean both better hats and bigger
profits.
It is thrift of this kind from the
big manufacturer down to the hum
blest wage-earner that will make and
keep the United States happy and
prosperous while wanton and whole
sale waste are taking place elsewhere
in the world.

LORD ROBERTS IS DEAD.
Aged British Field Marshal Sue
cumbs to Pneumonia in France.

Field Marshal Lord Roberts, vet
eran of the British army and prob
ably it's most revered chieftain, died
last Saturday from pneumonia on the
field of battle in France. He had
gone there to visit the Indian contin-
gent, in the midst of whom he was
born, and to stand once more on a
British battlefield, but the chill that
younger men have been enduring for
weeks was too much for him.
Lord Roberts contracted a chill
Thursday, soon after his arrival in
France, and succumbed after a short
illness, his great age, 80, initiating
against his recovery.
Probably no soldier of modern
times had such record as "Bobs."
His first commission in the army was
as q second lieutenant in the Bengal
Artillery in 1851. He advanced
steadily to a captaincy in 1860, be-
came a lieutenant colonel in 1868,
was breveted colonel in 1875, major
general in 1878, and on through the
higher ranks until he became a field
marshal, May 25, 1895.

WHAT The FARMER DID.

A city man recently visited his
country cousin" The man from
the city, wishing to explain the joys
of metropolitan life, said:
I'VE have certainly been having
fun the last few days. Thursday we
autoed to the country club, and golf
ed until dark, then trollied back to
town and danced until morning"
The country cousin was not to be
stumped in the least. SO began tell
ing of some Of the pleasures Of the
simple life:
1--WE have had pretty good times
here, too. One day we buggied out to
Uncle Ned's and went out to the
back lot, where we baseballed all that
afternoon. In the evening we sneak
ed up into the attic and pokered until
morning"
A sturdy old farmer who was listen
ing, not to be outdone, took up the
conversation at this point and said:
II was having some fun about this
time myself. muled to the cornfleld
and gee-hawed until shutdown. Then
I suppered until dark, and piped until
9 o'clock, after which I bedsteaded
until the clock fived, after which I
breakfasted until it was time to 60
muling again."

GAY LIFE IN THE CITY.

It's about time to put the kibosh
on all this talk about keeping the
boys on the farm. Why should boy
or young man want to stay on farm
when he can go to the city, and, after
tramping through the heat, or cold,
or rain. or snow for five or six weeks,
land fine, fat, easy, soft, snap of a
job as a motOrman? Then all he
will have to do will be to get up at
about five 6. m. winter and summer,
swallow boarding house breakfast
that hog on his fathers farm would
spurn. dash merrily to the car barn,
take the abuse Of slave-driving car
starter, and go gaily to work.
All, what pleasure to stand all day
in vestibule that is perfumed with
the smells of the unwashed bodies of
just-over immigrant laborers, on their
way to work in a sewer! Think Of
the fragrance of all grades Of tobacco
in cigarette, in cigars and in pipes
Of many degrees of strength! 1t is
simply great to breathe this spicy air
all day. In the meanwhile one hears
the sweet compliments Of the ladies
and gentlemen who do not happen to
think of signaling when they want to
get off, but who rightfully feel that
the motorman should have known.
If he was not such fat-headed lob,
and who do not hesitate to tell him
so.
Oh yes, it's great! Every farmer
boy ought to leave home at once and
dash to the city. Think Of the wages
he'll get! Why, at the end of a
month. after paying for board, room,
laundry, clothes and uniform, union
dues and assessments, he'll have al
most enough left to go to movie
show. But he probably won't go. be-
cause he'll be so all-in and SO full Of
the poisonous reek that he inhaled all
day, that he will tumble into bed to
forget it until the alarm clock calls
him to begin all over again.
