work for food conservation. In the

meats by the use of substitutes, cut
down city waste one-third, as shown
by garbage collections, and shown
themselves prompt and intelligent in
organization.
Motives of thrift have aided in this
vast work; high prices promote both
production and saving. But of the
greater part of these activities patri
otism is the moving spirit, and with
many of them ordinary considerations
of economy have had nothing what
ever to do. Particularly do the Ia

which owns the richest gold mine in
the world, had taken from the Rho
drail property. AS if to h- consistent
the court occupied two hours in deliv-
ering judgement.
The case lasted 144 days and cost
$750,000. One witness was on the
stand 16 days and another who was
On the stand almost as long, died.
Two other men who were interested
in the case died before it was con-
cluded
More than $4,000 questions were put
to witnesses and answered. In the
final summing up counsel for the de-
PENDANTS spoke for As days. Chief
counsel for the defense received fee
of $4,000 and his "refresher' or daily

The documents in the case were so
