Camp Cody, n. Mexico.
Thursday, October A.
Dear Friend:
We arrived at Camp Cody
Tuesday morning at 10:30 only
one day later than our schedule
anticipated. 1t took us more
than fifty hours to cross the
Continent of Texas with it's
wide stretches of black and bar
rem desert, too expansive to be
really dreary and uninteresting,
with it's great cattle ranges and
finally it's foothills and its noun
tains-only half grown but a
/, wonder to most of us.
The Texas Pacific caused us
no little grief along it's route.
1t dragged us along at about a
twelve mile per hour average,
and stopped us for coffee and
meals at sickly sort of villages,
instead of the larger and more
attractive cities. Once up in
the mountains we were stuck
and had to be showed over the
ridge by an engine from another
troop train close behind us.

sTRAW-$lO.OO PER TON.

Can you afford to burn straw
that will be worth $1,000 per
ton, when good timothy hay is
worth $4,000? That is a ques-
tion propounded to farmers by
the State commission Of produc-
tion and conservation. An ap-
peal is made to drop toe waste
full practice Of burning up straw,
urging farmers to have it baled
and shipped to other sections of
this state where there is no
straw, if it is not needed at home,
where it will be the means of
assisting farmers who are facing
a serious shortage in food, and
the problem of sacrificing their
live stock on account of it.
The commission is using q
great deal of publicity in this
matter, and asking everybody
to help, by getting behind the
farmers of the northwest.
Take the subject home to your
selves and give it the benefit Of
your earnest thought and consid-
Grafton, for the sake lof youl

BETTER SERVICE FOR FARM
ERS

One of the most important amend
ments to the recently passed bill
authorizing the Postmaster General
to conduct experiments in motor
truck delivery in the vicinity of large
cities was secured at the suggestion
of Senator Frank B. B~randcgee Of
Connecticut. As reported the mea-
sure proposed only the collection and
delivery OF food products by parcel
post from the producer to the CON
sumner, or from the farmer to the city
dweiler. Senator Brandc9ee imme-
diately saw that in practice it would
mean that the trucks would return to
the country empty, which did not ap-
peal to his sense Of efficiency. BY
the Senator's amendment the motor
trucks can carry back to the farmer
articles necessary in the production
of such food products" There was
no objection to Mr.. Brandegee'S pro-
position, and there is strong proba-
bility of its remaining a part of the
measure

INFORM RUSSIA-AND U. S.

Mr.. Root. speaking in New York
upon the work of his mission in
Russia, declared it to be of the ut
most importance that the people of
Russia should be kept fully inform
ed of what the United States is do
ing in the war and of what it is GO
ing to do. His statement will be ac-
copied as authoritative. May we
add that it is also of the utmost i'm
p~ortance that the people of the
United States should be kept SIM
ilarly informed? This solicitude for
our allies is all very well. but it is
at times to think of the
home folks also. We sometimes
have thought that, through their
marvellous spy system, the people of
Germany have been kept better in
formed of what we are doing in the
war than our own people are. And
as for what we are going to do in
the war, each new move comes as
a total surprise to the country.

COMMERCIAL RIVALRY IN

Vice President Burchard, OF the
General Electric Company, who re
Gently returned from a visit to Japan
is quoted as saying that Japan has
become immensely prosperous since
the outbreak OF the war and is fast
expanding commercially and parti-
cularly in shipping. Shipbuilding IS
very active and the ships are earning
big returns, the rates from Ioko-
hama having increased 800 per cent
since the war began.
Mr.. B~urchard's comments serve to
impress upon us once more the fact
that we have in Japan an i%ncrea-
singly great and active commercial
competitor. Politically, our rela-
tons with that nation are of the
friendliest. We gladly aided in the
awakening of that country but a
few decades ago. For some unknown
reason the people of this country
sympathized with her in her war
with Russia. though our sentiments
if influenced by past events. should
have been with the subjects of the
Gar. There are many traits of ia
panese character that we admire.
But while we are and shall cont1-
nue. to be in relations of friendship
with the Japanese nation, we must
not forget that in the commercial
rivalry that is certain to increase,
we must hold our own or be van
ouished. BY reason of her lower
standards of wages and living. Jap
