The food commission cam
paign in st. Johns has been
most successfully waged this
week. and the captain, lieuten-
ants and assistants have been
doing yoeman service in visit
ing every home in this district.
And they met with few rebuffs.
Most people were willing and
anxious TO do their bit, in
helping the good work along,
and felt no hesitancy in signing
the cards. While il is true that
many families do not waste
anything in the food line, there
are many that do. But all can
save some on the foodstuH most
desired TO be conserved by the
government. IL would seem
that thel food conservation pro-
ject would not be a bad thing
even if there was no war. II
furnishes valuable information
for those that never knew how
to save and economize.

The st. Johns city dock is at
last to have rail connections
with the o. w. X. a. N. Such
is the decision of the Public
Dock Commission. This move
is said to be in the interest of
storing wheat for the govern.
ment. The dock is capable Of
caring for about 5000 tons or
more and as all storage facilities
available will be demanded to
house the cereal moving from
the interior. il was determined
to lay the tracks. Besides the
ship building plants will no
doubt make use Of the dock for
landing machinery since track
age connections are assured. a

"A question that the old city
councils of ST. Johns wrestled
with time and again, II was
the understanding when the
dock bonds were voted that the
railroad company would connect
up with il after construction.
But when the dock was com.
pleted the. company declined
so to do. Therefore, in order
TO have rail connection il would
have been necessary To vote
more bonds for the purpose. as
there was no fund from which
the necessary money could be
drawn for the purpose. There
was talk at different times of
calling AN election for the pur-
pose of voting upon further
bonds for rail connection, but
Bs there was no assurance that
the business over the dock
would Justify the additional eX-
pense. the matter was allowed
10 drop and the dock remained
until the present time without
a railroad spur being connected
Herewith. Now that there is
business in sight that will
make the dock a scene of acti-
witty il is meet and fitting that
the spur should be constructed.
