Forced Farmers to Sell.


Mr.. Critics testified further that fail
ure of the railroads to furnish cars
at country points to handle grain offered
equity elevators forced the farmers to sell
to old-line elevators. s.
Embargos on cars of Northwestern
lines into St: Paul, and especially on
the Great Northern road, he asserted,
cause great losses both because cars
could not be obtained to take grain
thru to interior mills and because
the result caused prices to drop from
5. to 10 cents a bushel. The witness
declared that, while the car shortage
situation is somewhat improved and
about Is per cent Of the grain crop is
moved, there is still some difficulty in
getting cars.
Minneapolis shippers see some relief
in the lifting OF the embargo by the Mil
waukee road, and also an appeal sent out
by the Northern Pacific to the shippers

PRESIDENT AN EARLY RISER

President Wilson has a well-defined
schedule mapped out for his daily work
when in Washington. He sticks to
his schedule closely. 1t calls for his
arising at the early hour of o'clock.
Then he has his bath and is in his study
by not later than $50 o'clock.
Usually the President is met in his
study by his stenographer, Charles Sven.
Charlie, as helis known about the White
House, takes dictation until 8 o'clock,
which is the Presidents breakfast hour.
Breakfast over, Mr.. Wilson is accustomed
to return to his study to continue his
morning debating or to study some
matter which requires his immediate
attention, such as the selection of a
commission or the approval or disap-
proval of acts of Congress when it is in
session
About $50 o'clock in the morning the
President receives a list of appoint
ments which Secretary Tumulty has
made for him at the executive Offices.
These engagements never begin until
10 o'clock. Few of them are for longer
than half an hour. These engagements
run up to about IL o'clock, the President
always leaving the Office building for
the White House for luncheon not later
than l o'clock.
Usually the Presidents afternoons
have been given over to recreation.
Of course, this was impossible for the
two weeks prior to the adjournment of
Congress, with the exception Of short
motor rides. The President played
golf but a few times during the rail-
road crisis. He then only did so be-
cause DR.. Grayson thought it advisable
for him to get little outdoor exercise.
On the motor rides and at the golf
matches Mrs: Wilson was always his.
companion. ...
The motor trips are usually over by
6 o'clock; so there is ample time to pre-
pare for 7 o'clock dinner Most bf the
to work.
For the last few months there has
been a great mystery about the White
House. It has to do with one Of the
means which the President employs
to relax from his presidential duties.
This form of amusement is nothing
more than the good old game Of pool,
or speaking in more polite terms, pocket
billiards. -Louisuille Courier-JournQl,

INAUGURALs WITHOUT PoMP

Elaborate inaugurals for governors
seem to be going out Of fashion. The
beginnings of new executive terms in
Minnesota, North Dakota and Wis
consin will be signalized with scant
ceremony. Governor J. A. A. Burnquist
of Minnesota simply will renew his grip
on the job after taking the oath and de-
livering his message to the legislature.
Governor f. L. Philip of the Badger
state will receive the oath in his recep- .
ton room and resume business at the
old stand. Governor Lynn j. Fra
zier Of North Dakota will take up the
reins of state without flourish or frill.
In states where the old custom of
holding parades, receptions, banquets
and balls again will be followed but some
of the picturesqueness will be lacking
because brilliantly caparisoned COVER
nors' stats will not be part Of the seen
ario gta. Y
It is just as well that there should
be a return to athe simple life'' in state
inaugurals. Essentially we are a demo
cratic people to whom all pomp and
ford ceremony are more OF less arti-
fetal and strained. The average in in:

A young woman who dwells sin kan
sas City has filed suit against a directory
company asking SIS. 600 damages, be-
cause she improperly was designated as
q 'seamstress' in the 1912 directory
when, as a matter of fact, she is q grad

directory gave her the designation Of

is a badge Of low order Of ability and
which requires no education on special
lines Ill Il 81
Of course these mistakes have ir-
reparably damaged the reputation Of
this fair young miss. Not only is she
ere ited with having an honest occu-
patton when she has no occupation
at all-but, as she points out, these.
occupations are such as would de-
mean any pupil Of Vassar and false
~ discount her intellectual attain
ments in the public eye.
We can readily understand the keen
mental discomfort which she must
have endured thru the |jibes and
jokes of her friends and the crushing
humiliation which must have been hers
every time she looked at her own name
in the directory. It was an uninten-
tional error, no doubt, but it's careless
ness did not in any way mitigate the
utter, ruthless cruelty of such pro-
ceeding.
And carelessness in ascribing occu-
pations to those who have no occu-
pations deserves to be severely pun
ished. This young Vassarite is per-
forming meritorious act; her determine
ton to insist upon accuracy is highly
praiseworthy. But why did she limit
her demands at $4,000? We cannot

The appeal Of the Northern Pacific
was made by George 7. Slade and j.
G. Wood worth, first and second vice
presidents, respectively, and points the
way in which shippers can be OF actual
aid to the road in shifting the car short
age difficulties. The appeal reads in
part: @ III IN ~
Commercial prosperity without ade-
quate transportation is impossible and
at the present time the railroad trans
portation facilities OF the United States
are wholly inadequate; therefore any
shipper who underloads or delays a
freight car or fails to make any pos
sible readjustment of his business which
will tighten the burden now placed
upon the railroads is not only deal
ing unfairly with the carriers, but is
also embarrassing the business Of the
nation, including his own.
This company owns $4,000 freight
cars, and it would require at least one
years time and $7,000,000 to build
4,SOO more cars, but with the co-opera-
ton OF shippers we could in one month,
and without any expenditure Of money,
show an increase Of 10 per cent in the
average loading of cars now employed
and in connection with the movement
of certain commodities it would be
possible to increase the loading as much
as rs or even so per cent
Keep Close Check on Shippers.
Agents of the road are ordered to
keep close check on shippers and those
who are found disregarding the sugges-
lions will be refused cars if such course
is deemed advisable by the division sup
erintendent.
1t seems that if other roads would
follow the Northern Pacific's example
the situation would soon be relieved to
a considerable extent.

EAGLE MILLS SUFFERING WITH
OTHER BIG SHIPPERS FROM
SHORTAGE.

The car shortage is still causing
trouble for the mills and other large
shippers thruaat this section, and
there seems to BE little, if any, relief in
sight. New Ulm is hit by this. situation
and is feeling the brunt OF the shortage
as we'll as other big shipping points.
Charles Vogtel, general. manager OF
the Eagle Roller Mills Company, says
the situation is worse than has ever been
known here before, and he sees but little
hope for the immediate future.
Affects New Uln Mills.
eve have been working at ,dlsad-
vantage all the fall,' said MIR. Vogtel
a dav or two ago. eve are obliged to
fill our storage houses, and ship flour
out in driblets as we can get the cars
The result is that we are unable to keep
the mills running at anywhere near their
capacity. The country is clamorlng
for the flour, but we are unable to supply
it simply for the lack of cars. The east
ern terminals are flooded with cars
loaded with war munitions, and other
commodities for export, the congestion
no doubt being due to lack Of ships to
carry the products across the water.
"While the Milwaukee road has lifted
it's embargo on cars for the east, its effect
has not yet been felt here, and don't
know as it will be. The trouble lies In
the fact that when one road lifts the en-
barge another puts it on, and there
you are" f..
Thousands at Buffalo
There are more than 5000 cars, be-
longing to this territory tied up IN the
Buffalo terminals, according to recent
dispatches. These cars at Buffalo are
empties, and the development of the
conditions there is said TO be the result
of recent order Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission that roads must
return certain percentage OF cars, even
if they have to send them back empty.
Discussing the situation relative to
the commissions order, c.. c. Bovey,
vice president of the Washburn-C Crosby
Company, in Minneapolis Saturday,
said: ,..
1T is seen that the cars move back
normally under load at a more rapid
pace and with less congestion Of traffic
than when empty

Mr.. Bovey and A. C. Loring, president
of the Pillsbury Flour Mills company
both see ray of hope in the partial
lifting of the Milwaukee roads embargo
on Chicago shipments.

offered and then decide on the request
for continuance.

Petition May Be Denied.

This was regarded by representatives
of shippers as possible indication that
the petition will be denied because Of
an insufficient showing by the rail
roads. The commission, it is under
stood, looks with disfavor on unneces-
sary prolongation of the hearing.
The request for a continuance was
prompted by the illness of w. P. Trickett,
general manager of the Minneapolis
Traffic Association, who is suffering from
a severe cold and has been ordered to
bed by his physician. 1t also was urged
that the case to be presented by Minnea-
polls grain, coal and other large in
dustries is not fully prepared. ~
James G. Critics, St. Paul, manager
for the Equity Cooperative exchange,
opposed the demurrage increase to
SIS day maximum, because, he said,
it would amount simply to impositions
on the farmers and that no advances
are necessary if cars are handled prompt
