HIGH COURT UPHoLDs
SIDE TRACK STATUTE

4 f. 3. -v Z: 5 T. ! E T. +
The State Supreme Court upheld a
decision of Judge /. M. Olsen in. an
opinion handed down last. Friday when
it affirmed the stand taken in the case
of the A. c.. Ochs Brick & Tile Com
pany Of Springfield, against the Chicago
& Northwestern Railway Company.
The action was started in 1915 by the
brick and tile company to force the rail-
way corporation to construct a side
track at the tile works. The expense
was apportioned by the Minnesota Rail-
road and Warehouse Commission to the
railway company, to cost approximately
81, 500.
The railroad company contested the
case on the ground that the statute re-
curing them to pay part of the expense
Of building side track to a private in
dustry was unconstitutional. They
claimed-it was taking Of property for
private use and without compensation.
Following is the syllabus Of the supreme
court decision.
q. Where sidetrack becomes a part
of bet trackage Of a railroad to be
operated as a part Of its railway system,
the taking Of property therefor is taking
for a public purpose.
% 2. The state under its police power
may require railroad company to pro-
vide such sidetrack facilities to industries
adjacent to it's tracks as shall be found
to be necessary and reasonable under all
the circumstances, and may apportiots
the necessary expense therefor between
the company and the industry in such q
manner. as shall be found to be reasonable

An Expert In Motives.

Cousin Henry is an expert on mo-
tives. If you were reading Off list of
names and overlooked Henry, he would
understand. He would know exactly
the motive that prompted you to do 1t.
says Claude Callan in the Fort Worth
Star-Telegram. II you don't think to
introduce him to the man who is with
you. he can see through it. He may
have to go back four or five years, but
he will make complete case against
you. In less than an hour he will
know what your motive was. Right
now he is angry because his daughter
was not selected as vnledictorian Of
her class. You may think that the
other girl deserved to be selected, but
you don't know all that Henry knows.
1t is long story, but he is willing to
tell 1t to you, and after hearing 1t you
will understand the motive-yOu will
understand that 1t is case Of spite
work.

USE LITTLE TIN IN SOLDER
Germans, Under Pressure Of Necessity,
Invent New Method Which
Solves Wartime Problem.

German inventive genius. under
pressure of Mother Necessity, has been
applied successfully to the discovery
of solder with practically no tin, n
metal not found in Germany.
Resort was first had to cadmium, a
metal Of the zinc group. found In
large quantities, In Germany, and an
excellent solder was produced from
so per cent lead, 10 per cent cadmium
and only 10 per cent of the precious
tin. This, however. could not be used
for making and sealing cans for pre-
serving fOodstuffs as lead when brought
into contact with fruit or other acids
produces poisonous salts. Chemists
then remembered bismuth, another
metal found In large quantities within
the empire, and from cadmium, bis
muth and some other German metals
a solder WAS produced which is nom
poisonous and almost free from tin.
Since n fourth of the 21 900 tons Of
tin which Germany imports and con-
sumes annually in peace time is used
in making solder. the invention will
go far toward solving Germany's war
time tin problem, which recently led
the government to decree general
confiscation of the tin tops Of beer
mugs and steins.

Simple Fire Alarm.

A new automatic fire alarm has just
been put on the market which is so
cheap and simple that it can be in
stalled almost anywhere. 1t will give
the small private house the same pro-
lection that is afforded to large plants
by more complicated systems. The
new alarm consists simply OF small
air chamber and an electric bell. The
chamber is pierced with very fine
holes. When the temperature Of the
room changes in u gradual and natural
manner the holes permit the air In the
chamber to pass slowly in and out.
But IL the temperature rises rapidly.
as 1t does In case of fire the holes are
too small to take care of the quick ex-
pansion Of the imprisoned air. The
walls of the chamber are pushed out
ward and close an electric circuit
which rings the alarm bell.

BIG WASTE IN FISH TRADE
Public Could Buy Its Seafood Much
Cheaper II Industry Were on
Efficient Basis, 1t Is Declared.

If the entire fishing industry were
put on an efficiency basis, the general
public would buy its seafood much
cheaper and better, is the opinion of
William X. Beardsley. manager of the
New England fish exchange. He as
serts, however, that even under pres
ent conditions fish is the most economi-
cal of foodstuffs in this country.
The fishing industry has been con-
Quoted in a more or less haphazard
manner" he says. "Small competition
has developed 1t, but up to date little
has, been done to put 1t on sound
business basis. Those intimately con-
nected with the industry do not seem
to realize that the extensive waste
must be eliminated and efficiency
brought in.
"For example, dealers still ship fish
In small quantities everywhere. This
necessitates enormous transportation
expenses with slow service, when the
same goods could be shipped in car
load lots to control distributing points,
and much needless expenditure saved.
"Fish is the coming food of America
and 1t therefore behOoves this country
to awaken to the value of it's fisheries
1t Is also necessary for our fish mer-
chants to awaken to the value of eff
ficiency and place their trade on sys-
temntic basis. Every dollar wasted
comes out of the public's pockets, so
that the people as whole have vital
interest in this matter"
Continuing he states that govern
ment experts contend that before long
this country will be actually forced to
look to its fisheries for food.-New
York Times.

Two Luxuries Unknown in 1915.

If we are to suffer restrictions un-

there are two of them which would
have been no deprivation to our fore
bears of those hard times, says the
London Chronicle. The tomato, 1t Is
true, was occasionally used as rel
ish for soups, but 1t was so small that
they called 1t berry, and the yellow
kind was more In use than the red.
while to the majority 1t was unknown.
The banana was almost entirely
known by hearsay only, and striking
legend regarding 1t was more familiar
than the fruit itself. For 1t was free

knjttjno in Church.

Knitting in church is suggested by
Rev. A. NJ. Mitchell, Church of Eng
land clergyman. in his parish maga-
zine. "Better to knit for our soldiers
and sailors In sermon time" he says,
than to talk and whisper, laugh and
giggle, fiirt and misbehave, criticize
hats, gowns and fur coats. Those con-
stantly knitting learn to do so quite
mechanically and their attention is not
diverted from speech. Knitting In SER
mon time would mean great saving

TOWN LIFE REAL DRUDGERY
Let Country Boys Get a Taste Of the
City and They Will Want to Stay
on Farm, It Is Declared.

Why not encourage the boys to fa.
miliarize themselves with town life to
some extent? Our word for it, they
would soon lose many of their illusions,
says the Natchitoches Ua.) Times
Let a boy go among the young men
who are filling positions in the town.
Impress upon him that these men, in
stead of living like millionaires, are in
reality worse drudges than he; that
while he sometimes must work early
and late for, a very short season, these
young men must frequently be ut their
work before he is out of bed and
must remain there until he is back in
bed again; and that as to the matter
of fine clothes, frequently the suits he
sees on their backs comprise their en-
tire wardrobe. Let him also learn
that while they frequently handle
murh money, very little Of its sticks
to their fingers except with ugly re-
suits to themselves.
Let thu, boy come to town. Let him
have taste Of town life and make the
acquaintance of town boys. Let him
learn, as he is bound to do. that not by
any means is all gold that glitters.
Thus, with the right surroundings and
conditions on the farm, an occasional
dose of town life will not hurt him,
and he will soon grow to see that his
Swn life is Infinitely to be preferred to
that Of any town boy Of his acquaint-
ance.

What Mrhe Eolksr Think.

Every normal public official likes to
know what ''the folks" think about
what he is doing. A congressman in
Washington makes 1t point to keep
In touch with men back home who will
let him know what is going on. State
and local officials are concerned the
same way.
Even after election day public opin-
ion counts. Its most effective way of
expressing itself is through public or
gnnizations. Commercial clubs, i'm
provement associations, city clubs, and
similar institutions are the instruments
of public opinion. They can make
themselves count for decent govern
ment between elections If they set
themselves to the job.-Kansas City

GETS LESSON IN PATRIOTISM

How many times the Ignorant for

are worth half n cent apiece. The store

looked as If 1t had never felt comb.
His hands and face We're covered with
mud from the building excavations,
across the street. In his fist he held a
crumbled and greasy mass of coupons
which he showed half timidly over the
counter.
