LOTS HERE, TOO.

THERE never was a more appro-
pirate time to cut down useless
: trees than in this year when the
timber from such trees can be SO
handily used to prevent fuel famine.
There are hundreds Of dead or down
trees in the groves that line the sides
of the bluffs about Mankato that
should be worked up into fuel at this
time and there are many places even
in the city where the growth Of the
trees has made the shade more dense
than is desirable either for beauty or
for the good health Of those whose
homes are made damp and dark by
the exclusion Of the air and sunlight

A SERMON ON WASTE.

|TrHE Master said unto his disciples,
Gather up the fragments that
: remain, that nothing be lost
After the great multitude had been
miraculously fed and filed there re-
manned twelve baskets of fragments.
These fragments might well have been
thrown away so far as feeding the
multitude on the morrow was con-
cerned. At the Masters command
food for FIVE thousand had-been sum-
moned from unseen sources. Another
command could have drawn indefinite
" and without limit from the same
generous storehouse.
But the Master commanded that
the fragments be gathered up, that
nothing be lost. In these few words
Christ gave the world its most valu-
able lesson in thrift and economy. He
struck the happy middle ground be-
tween pTOdigal waste and pinching
avaricc He gave to his disciples and
to the world the divine injunction
that nothing of value be allowed to
go to waste.
The world has been slow to learn
and slower still to follow this simple
rule of frugality. After the feeding
of the multitude the fragments have
been allowed to go to waste. And we
Americans have been the chiefest of
offenders. We are just now waking
up to this fact, and we are just now
taking our first Lesson in real home
spun economy.
We are just now learning in the
hard school of experience that from
any and from all standpoints Christ's
teachings are humanity's best and
safest rules of conduct. Whether in
moral, or material matters,
the worlds philosophers and law
givers have never taken away nor
added to these teachings single syl-
liable that improved them.
We are now learning to Hoover
ize. This means that we are learning
to gather up the fragments, that moth
ing be lost. Mr.. Hoover is not seek
ing to adopt nor to enforce new
rule. He is simply making an every
day application of Christ's teachings
On the shores Of Galilee, that moth
ing be lost He is asking us to gath
er up the fragments that we have
been throwing away and allowing to
90 to waste.
We must look well to the frag-
ments. Gluttony, vanity and waste
must be brought to war basis. This
means that our food and drink, our
Injuries, and our garbage cans must
each give up it's share of the frag-
nents that may be used to help win
The war. In this, as in all other mat
;ers that concern US individually and
is a nation, we must follow the Mas
,er's teachings if we would win the
var and make the world safe for
democracy and safe for christianity.
And as Christ made suffering and
sorrow his opportunity to do good, so
nay the American people make this.
;errible war their opportunity to
square themselves with His teachings |
ind His example, and do good to all |
mankind. With the fragments here
ofore wasted they may feed and clothe

The meanest man has been found!
He's the fellow who throws his old
automobile tag onto the scrap heap
instead of giving it to some Red Cross
worker to be sold for the cause. In
dividual tags count for little but in
the aggregate they mean thousands
of dollars with which to help lick the
Kaiser. Anyone not saving his is apt
to have his loyalty to the cause seri-
ously questioned.

JUDGE RICHARDS TO

Just as congressman are out in the

talities when speaking, but tells facts
with little twist of Irish fun and hu-

diences new appreciation of the way
American women for representation in
their own government.
All forward look ing men and wom-

HEAVY LOSSES
CAUSED BY THE.
CAR SHORTAGE
Estimated Thirty Per Cent
of Fruit Crop in Twin
Falls Ruined by Freeze
Potatoes Also Suffer.
While Still Serious Public
Utilities Commission Be-
lieves Refrigerators Now
Coming Into State Will
Relieve Situation.

Lack Of cars to handle the fruit crop
in the Twin Falls country with the re-
suit the fruit was caught by heavy
frosts and freezes resulted in a loss of
80 per cent to the growers while pota-
toes were damaged to from to 10 per
cent. John w. Graham, president Of
the public utilities commission, brought
this information back with him from
Twin Falls, where with Commissioner
A. L. Freehafer they inspected the
crop and car situation.
"Only the fact that the soil is dry
prevented the potatoes ON freezing"
said President Graham. "The first
heavy frosts damages the apples but
they could have been saved had there
been cars. The weather that followed
froze the apples to the core with the
result there is easily a 80 per cent
loss"
The commission visited besides Twin
Falls, Pocatello. Oakley and Rupert. At
Pocatello the car storage situation
was taken up directly with Oregon
Short Line officials. A complaint
against the water company was heard
At Oakley and complaint against the
electric company at Oakley.
SNnS SSNbNS liN INSVs
Advices to the commission indicate a
more steady movement Of empty re-
frigerator cars into the state so that
the car situation is easier, but still SER
tous. While at Minidoka the commits
sioners saw 40 empty refrigerators
moving west. There were 40 delivered
to the Twin Falls branch to handle
government potato orders which are
given preference.
The Oregon Short Line reported to
the commission that on Oct 81, a
total of IS refrigerators were delivered
to Idaho territory. OF this number %
were foreign refrigerators and Sc were
handled by the Pacific Fruit Express
company. They were distributed to
she Montana, Twin Falls and fourth
district zones.
Arrangements were made with the
Short Line officials to deliver five
double deck sheep cars along the Pa
cific & Idaho Northern railroad for
the shipment of hogs.
DENIAL FROM kNICkERBOC,KER
While at Pocatello, Mr.. Knicker-
booker Of the Oregon Short Line de-
MED to the commission the published
report that other carriers had lifted the
embargo on box cars and were per-
hitting shipments of fruit and pota-
toes in them without false floors and
lining while the Short Line was en-
forcing the rule. Mr.. Knick erbocker
asserted the embargo had been main
tanned by all the roads.
Owing to the lateness of the season
1t is believed by the commission it
would not be advisable to attempt to
ship fruit and potatoes. east in box
cars not properly prepared with floor
ing and sidings because the produce
would freeze in transit.
