SPUD CARS
SHORTAGE
i IS KEEN
Refrigerators Scarce and
Potato Shippers are Ex-
! periencing Difficulty

=
Fred c. Huntington, superintendent
of the Fargo division Of the Northern
Pacific railroad, reported this after
noon that there is a marked shortage
of cars for the shipment of potatoes
on this division, and ON other divisions
of the road. d."
The Great Northern railroad makes
the same report. +.
Potatoes have to be shipped in re-
frigerator cars in order to prevent
freezing. and as greater portion of
these cars are foreign, usually owned
by refrigerator corporations. they are
exceedingly hard to secure at, the
present time.
Mr. Huntington stated that the per-
centage of shortage was quite great at
present, and that potato shippers are
having trouble in getting orders fill
ed. Just as fast as the cars can be
secured those on the waiting list"
are being supplied.
There is no shortage OF grain cars

The Author of Evil.

Jean Jacques Rousseau: Inquire no
longer who Is the author of evil. Be-
hold him in yourself. There exists no
other evil in nature than what you
either do or suffer and you are equal
ly the author of both. A general evil
could exist only in disorder. but in the
system of nature 1 see an establish
ed order which is never disturbed.
Particular evil exists only In the
sentiment Of the suffering being, and
this sentiment is his own acquisition.
Pain and sorrow have but little hold
on those who unaccustomed to refiec-
tion have neither memory nor fore
sight. Take away our fatal improve
ments--take away our errors and our
vices-take away, in short, everything
that is the work Of man. and all that
remains Is good.

1t is an interesting matter of record
that this woman, responsive to the ap-
peals and good Office and substantial
people who interested themselves in
her behalf, was paroled and in a short
period of time has become rightly en-
titled to higher place among the
minor poets.
That prison service was the crucible
of fire through which she passed is
plainly evident. Her poem, Forgive,
gives a pleasant insight into the
character still in the prison mold:
Didst see me on the yesterday,
When meadowward we took our way,
Strike at the hand that lifted up
To my parched lips life's brimming
cup?
Didst see me then l say!
And, seeing, didst thou veil thine
eyes,
Filled with saddened, pained sur
prise?
Or was it planned that such as
Must know a thousand deaths? Then
die
Ere I have grasped the prize?
Didst see me on the yesternight
When sickened soul was black with
blight?
Dread quivers of despairing shame
Scorched my poor body like a flame.
Didst see me then-at niIht?
Upon my heart a little ring
OF whitened scars, that burn and
sting,
Remind me that I struck the hand
That led me to a promised land,
How long doth Memory cling?
