MINNESOTA EFFICIENT
AND ECONOMICAL
Minnesota's Work in the War on the
Part Of Those Who Are at Home
and in Business.

The great task that confronts the
people Of our state during the war is
to gather up the loose ends and join In
united effort to eliminate waste and
the expenditure of useless energy in
carrying on business in any line.
The great effort has been in the past
Of individual firms to give their parti-
cular customers Service" with little
regard to the economic waste where
the several firms in small or large
community duplicate their lines or in
the delivery to their customers.
The State Commission Of Public
Safety has begun exhaustive investiga-
tions in nearly all lines that effect
closely the economic problems of all
classes. The effort is made to do full
justice to producer, manufacturer and
consumer with the one idea of elimina-
ton Of wasteful duplication and the
resultant addition to the retail price in
order to pay for service
In nearly every hamlet, village and
city there is an opportunity for great
saving in delivery systems. In many,
instances the business men have al
ready caught the idea and co-Operated
in employing one or two delivery men
where heretofore there were as many
of them as there were stores in the
community.
The Commission has found that the
wrapping and delivery Of bread form a
large per cent of its cost price to the
Tn %hn WV fr6 a
great waste in the duplication Of de-.
livery. Five or six milkmen can be
counted serving customers in one block
each day.
To eliminate these expensive sys-
tens of which these are but the ex-
ample of many, is a task that can be
taken up in almost every community
in the state.
In many sections of the state there
is an over-abundance Of fruit and veg
etables. To provide a market for sec
lions where they are plentiful and to
supply those that report a scarcity is
also problem that can be solved by
many communities for themselves. 1t
is also another line Of activity for the
State Commission in an effort to Sc
cure the cooperation Of all sections to
secure an equitable distribution Of
foodstuffs that are produced within
our state and to place surplus stocks
in storage for future use.
All of these things involve "get-
together movement on any PROPOSE
ton, large or small, and it is easily
recognized as the necessary, the pa
triotic thing to do if we are to give
the best account of ourselves as a COM
munity, county or state in the dis
charge of our war responsibilities.
Many of these things are adjusted
readily when once the state of the
public mind becomes accustomed to

BALTIMORE NOT TO
 HEAR THE CONCERT
Dr. Muck's Attitude Toward the
 Star Span6led Banner Shown

Baltimore, Nov. 6.-Dr. Muck and the Boston Symphony Orchestra have been barred from performing in Bal tlmore tomorrow night. As result or threats of mob violence and indig- nant protests in which agitation for mer Governor Edwin Warfield, de- scendant of distinguished Revolu- t1onary family, took leading part the Grand Jury today notified the Po- lice Commissioners that, owing to the state of the public mind and the fact that the appearance of Dr. Muck might lead to grave disorder even bloodshed, the Prussan conductor should not be permitted to appear b.~ lore the public in Baltimore. and that the concert should be called off, The Police Commissioners accordingly mo- t:ned the manager of the Lyric that the concert would not be permitted.
 Police Marshal Garter said yester- day afternoon that he was opposed to the concerts being given by the Or chestra, whether under the direction ofIDr. Muck or not. The Marshal de- clared that because of the intense feeling that has been aroused he was fearful of public demonstration should the concert be permitted.
 On learning the action of the Po- lice Commissioner former Governor Warfleld, who has arranged a big pa triotic meeting for tomorrow, said:
 "The action of the Commissioners follows, of course, up tremendous wave of popular sentiment against Muck, and is in the interest of peace and order. Whether the commission CTS had acted or not, Muck would never have conducted the concert. He would never have reached the thea ter, and he will never conduct another concert in Baltimore. We never had any objection to the orchestra. We would have been willing for the con- cert to take place if somebody else had conducted The man we were after was the Prussian who said, TO he'll with your flag and your national anthem We were after the man who said our 'Star-Spangled Banner was not fit to be included in an artistic program.
 The Grand Jury's protest and the Police Commissioners action will ue read from the stage at the meeting tomorrow. and resolutions W'N De passed for the playing of the H them in the future.''
 "The many devotees of music and lovers of the symphony orchestra are verN much disappointed Director Randolph of the Peabody Conserva- tory of Music said. Ut should not be lost sight of that the Boston Sym phony is strictly reputable organt- zation A distinction should be mede between it and Dr. Muck. CancelIa- ton of the concert is nothing short Of a catastrophe"
