the wedding Is supposed to be the very

Harry was young architect and
engineer who had only Just opened an
Office IN the town. When he came out
of college he reached the conclusion
that he would do better to set up q
business in some small town and grow
up witt it than to grow old unnoticed
in some older town. That Is how he
came to be here. He met Harriet soon
after his arrival and it wasn't long be-
fore he was desperately in love with
her.
There really wasn't very much the
matter with Harry-except Harriet.
And there wasn't anything at all the
matter with Harriet-in Harry's opin-
ion. So, after he had got down to
business-both at his Office and with
Harriet-she said "Yes.' Their mar
rage brought them a great deal Of
happiness, and, what was more Pc

The Car Shortage

49,
Municipal authorities and public utili-
ties commissions long ago arrived at the
conclusion that q streetcar line, which
purports to be able to care for the traf-
fic of city and which, of necessity, en-
joys an exclusive monopoly of the bust
ness, must really care for that business.
The right of company to make ade-
quate preparations for the traffic which
comes at 10 in the morning and to fail
to provide adequately for the big rush
of the early morning, the noon hour and
the O'Clock exodus has long since been
denied, and tramway companies have
been forced to provide for adequate ac-
commodations when the load is at its
:'peak" that is, during the rush hours.
Why not the same rule for railroads?
The interstate commerce commission
has fought the car shortage evil vague
ly and indefinitely for years, with the
result that in dull times the railroads
beg federal relief and in the rush sea-
son are totally unable to take care of
the trffic offered. Every fall the arriv-
al of the harvest season sees the same
condition. The roads are unable to
care for the perishable crops and the
farmers and consumers lose millions
through the most fragrant lack of prep
aration on the part of the carriers.
The interstate commerce commission
cannot do better than TO provide such
rules as may be necessary to force all
railroads to make adequate prepara-
tions not only for ordinary seasons but
for the rush seasons, as well. Under
the pres ent conditions the consumer is
penalized for the failure of the railroads
to provide cars enough to care for the
traffic and, because the railroads are by
nature necessarily monopo!istic, he has
no avenue of escape. He cannot buy
nor can the producer sell because the
railroads have :uot adequate facilities
for transporting the product. 1t is
wholly unfair and its long continuation
is merely another example of the undue
influence which railroads exercise at
Washington in all administrations.

New Declaration Of War.

patriotic farmers are urged to enlist

This worst enemy says Associate
Agronomist j. G. Hatton, lis Lieuten-
ant General Weeds with leeions of vet
Grams, who are o marching upon the
fields of South Dakota. 1T will not be
necessary for farmers to leave their
ZONES and families unprotected in the
coming war beeause they may render
the necessary service without leaving
their farms. All that is necessary is
lot to wait but to get out harroWs or
drags and hitch on your war horses
and meet Weeds army in the field and
drag them early SO that the Weeds do
not get a start. After the corn is
planted harrow the fields often enough
TO keep them clean until the corr is
UP and ready to cultivate. Now is the
time TO 80 into the battle, for if you
delay, he invaders Will rob the crops
Of their food and water and a heavy
indemnity will be laid upon the tillers
Of the soil. Should General Weeds
cohorts get once assembled and or.
ganlzed. they will be absolutely resist
less. The only hope for the farmer this
year is to ~disperse the army before it
is in full possession of the field. Not
all people are agreed as to what our
policy Of preparedness against invad.
ers should be, but there is absolutely
no question or difference of opinion as
to being prepared for an invasion by

HOW TO HEAL ITCHING.
BURNING SKIN DISEASES

A Baltimore doctor suggest this
simple, but reliable and inexpensive,
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringworm, rashes and
similar itching, burning skin troubles.
At any reliable druggists get a jar
OF Resinol Ointment and a cake OF
Resinol Soap. These are not at all ex.
pensiye. With the Resinol Soap and
warm water battle the affected parts
thoroughly, until they are free from
crusts and the skin is softened. Dry
very gently, spread on a thin layer OF
the Resinol Ointment, and cover with
a light bandage-if necessary to pro-
tect the clothing. This should be done
twice a day. Usually the distressing
itching and burning stop with the first
treatment, and the skin soon becomes
clear and healthy again.-Adv.

Addition to Federal Buiidinu.

Representative Royal c. Johnson has
introduced a bill in the lower house of
congress providing for a $1,000 add.
ton to the federal building in Aber-
deem. When the present structure was
first erected it housed the federal land
office as we'll as the internal reyenue
collectors office, the federal court and
the postoffice. Since then the land
office vas transferred to Timber Lake
and the entire lower floor was devoted
TO the postoffice. but the business Of
the latter institution has increased
so the mail clerks and entire postal
force are cramped for room. A govern.
ment inspector who looked over the
situation locally some time ago recon.
mended remodeling the interior. but
the Internal revenue officials are also
cramped, and an effort is being made
to secure an appropriation for an ad
dition which will provide for contin
gencies for a number of years to ON
eve when the surrounding territory
is taken into consideration.

Patchouii for Moth Prevention,

P~atchoult for Moth Prevention.
The fragrant dried roots of the
%patchouli. reports Special Agent Gar
rard Harris, are held in great esteem
in Porto Rico, and it is the general be-
lief In the island that when placed
among clothing and in closets they are
a sure preventive Of moths. In the
earlier days OF the century the per-
fume Of patchouli was in great favor.
1t Is believed that If the properties
or patchouli were more generally
known there would be a demand for
1t in the United States in preference
to moth balls. 1t should have as much
vogue as lavender for putting between
sheets and placing among garments;
and II 1t were manufactured or
shredded into a finer substance and
sold In small bags it would be a de-
cided novelty that undoubtedly would
prove popular. Great quantities Of 1t
grow wild in Porto Rico, and a de-
mand for it from the United States
would afford employment to many of
the poor country people. In Porto
Rico natives bring the patchouli to
town and sell it in small bundles that
retail at two to five cents.
