TO THE LADIES
It's mighty fine to get In line
And serve the Corner Glass
But one regret we men have met
In sunny old Grants Pass
Has been the way we all essay
To mix our plans en- masse
Yet brotherhood Is understood
To grleve not In defeat,
But merely aim to play the game
And always pay the treat.

cation and absolute efficiency of opera
present rights of shippers as to routing
their freight, for instance, and how
some of the present powers of the Com
mission as to the establishment of
routes or the putting in of through
rates might be oyerridden or changed
by law, but that could all be easily adj
justed in accordance with the new sys-
TEN adopted and there need be no rad
ical disturbance of the routine to which
the shipper is accustomed in dealing
with the carriers through the Commits
sion. or by which the carrier puts tar
ifs in effect.
After having followed closely all
moves of the war board, shipping board
and the fuel and food administrations
movements as affecting our transporta-
ton since the declaration of war, also
the probable proposal of ~unification of
operation of railroads during the war,
since the Interstate Commerce Com
mission has recommended this move to
congress, in closing l would like to ask
one question:
The Commissions proposal for unfit
cation and operation of the carriers
themselves includes suspension of in
terfering anti-pOoling antitrust laws
except those prohibiting the merging of
competing lines. How is efficient uni
fication to be brought about without
the practical merging-for the time
being, at leaSt-of competing lines?
Why continue to bubble about such
things? Either unificatiOn and central
operation is desirable, or it is not. If
it is, then all hamperng laws ought to
be thrown in the discard for the time
being, even to the extent of permitting
with proper limits, a competing line to
be temporarily merged with another or
put out of business entirely if the rail
roads, in the course of their plans for
efficient operation, care to do it. The
laws are sacred only as they meet ne
cessities. When they are out of date
they should be repealed.
In this case they should not be re-
pealed, but they should be suspended
for the period of the war, insofar as
they hamper the carrying out of any
plan of operation that seems to be the
best. 1t would be foolish that such a
plan should fail to work perfectly be
cause this or that law, enacted in other
times and to meet other conditions,
stood in the way.
a better realization of the fact that
we are w to our necks in n world-war
that may last for years will make us II
little more cOmplacent toward necessary
changes in IL laws and our mode of
life, in transportation as well as in
some other things.

yer, where they were to be married at
Mr.. SuttOn's home. From there they
will go to Miss Maxwell's old home in

Miss Maxwell is the teacher in the

and is very well liked, especially by
her pupils.
Mr.. Sutton was principal of the

ested in the Wildcat mine, near here.
They have many friends in Encamp-

TO ANSWER FOR
IRREGULARITIES.

1t will perhaps be gratifying news
to a number of Platte Valley residents
to learn that the interior Department
officials will investigate the record of
l.. c. Stallings, former United States
commissioner at Encampment, with a
view to giving him an opportunity to
answer before the proper tribunal for
the various Irregularities which have
developed in connection with his adj
ministration of government land bust
ness during his term of office.
1t is said that a number of com
plants have been made of fees paid to
him for filings and other land business,
which were never turned in to the de-
partment, and other Irregularities in
the form Of petty swindles practiced
upon hOmesteaders and others having
had business before him, which he will
probably be called upon to explain to
those higher up. Most of his transac-
lions as Il government official were
with residents of the upper valley, few
from the neighborhoOu Of Saratoga

in his capacity as u. S. commissioner.
A number from this neighborhood
found to their cost, however, that Mr..
Stallings was an exceedingly slippery
and unreliable individual to deal with
as an Individual, and it would require
several hundred dollars to l~iquidate his
various ind~ebtednesses in his neigh
borhood n to make good the money
which he is said to have obtained from
various sources by methods which are
not generally recognized us strictly Ie-
Ultimate and legalized.
Although he was successful i'll bluff
ing his way through in these various
transactions without much difficulty,
it is likely that all his vaunted legal
knowledge will be required to extricate
him from his present difficulties with
the pubic land officials.

Saratoga is becoming quite metro
politan, and in many ways is keeping
right up with the chief cities of the
state. Our latest bid for notOriety is
burglars, some nocturnal prOwler, or
perhaps providers, having pried the
locks from the door of one of the Sara
toga Commercial Company's ware
houses OH the east side of the river last
Friday night and burgled their way to
a grub stake in the interior of the
building. The warehouse contained
flour, canned goods and other groceries
in considerable quantities and the COM
pany is unable to say just how much
merchandise was stolen. 1t is estimat-
ed, however, that the thieves took
plenty, such an excellent opportunity
being presented.
The broken lock was not discovered
until late Saturday evening, and so far
as we know there is no clue to the
identity of the guilty parties.

The Happy Christmas Time.
Communicated


The Christmas season is now here,
everybody is thinking of what to give
and many are wondering what they
will receive; for ii is the beauty of
giving and the pleasure of receiving
that makes this the most happy season
of the year. To a large number of peo-
pie the real meaning of Christmas
goes and comes as do the seasons, with
little or no thought of the Greatest
Event in the Worlds history-The
Birth Of the Savior-that has made
possible the happy Christmas time.
In the midst Of our joys, should we
not devote II little time in contempla-
ton of something we might do to eX-
press our gratitude to our Heavenly
Fnthu" ia' Ills greatest gift to the
worldt While there are many duties
n can perform, many loving acts of
kindnra' one can bestow, yet the most
apprcciatiye gift one can offer to the
Heavenly Father is his or her service.
y splendid opportunity awaits every
willing heart and ready hand in the
church, and especially in the Sunday
school. Here the need for teachers is
such that the school IL actually suffer
ing. The children attend in goodly
numbers, and with greater interest on
the part of adults manifested in their
presence, there would undoubtedly be
Il marked increase in the roll of chill
dren. But under present conditions
we cannot take care of those who
come. Our boys at the front are re
ceiving splendid spiritual oversight.
should we not do as much for the boys
and girls at home? Think of the sur
prise that will await the boys on their
return home, if Saratoga offers less
spiritual advantages than the soldier
camps. Shall they not find their home
town In n better spiritual condition
than when they left home?
WIN you not help to answer these
questions! Remember the gift YOU
u make to the Master!
