Denver.-Drastic efforts to bring
relief to Colorado communities which
are iEcing heavy crop losse, through
congested car movements were under
taken in Washington by Herbert
Hoover, national food administrator.
He directed railroads to have all cars
loaded to the limit of safety, and sent
warning at the same time to farmers
and growers that unless they comply
with this provision the railroads Will
be authorized to place . shipping en-
barge on their crops.
In some Of the southern and west
ern communities of Colorado only half
Of tho perishable fruits have been
packed for shipment. and these, to-
gether with the northern districts that
have big consignments of potatoes.
are directly affected by the order. re-
ceived at the office Of Thomas B.
Stearns, food administrator for Colo
RADIO.
This action follows efforts Of tue
Colorado Council of Defense, the Pub
lie Utilities Commission and the Colo
RADIO food administration to urge upon
shippers the necessity for heavy load
ing at this season. It more directly
follows the appeal made by railroad
freight officials to the national com.
mission ON car service. in Washing
ton. to prevail upon the Interstate
Commerce Commission to issue emsr-
gency orders that would compel ship
pers to load apples and potatoes to
carrying capacity Of cars.
The railroads of Colorado took the
position that while they were strain
ing every effort to meet the tremen-
dous crop production in the Arkansas.
North Fork and San Luis valleys, as
we'll as other centers, 1t was quite evi.
dent that growers. in their anxiety to
get the fruit to the market, were
working individually instead Of collec-
lively.
One Of the latest shipments out o.
the San Luis valley received the fol-
lowing comment from an inspector:
Eighteen cars Of potatoes were
shipped. The minimum loading is
S0. 900 pounds, but these eighteen cars
$4,000 pounds each. In other
words. these shippers were doing their
patriotic duty by making five cars do
the work of seven"
Growers in the San Luis valley are
working nights digging temporary
storage places. They have put into
execution suggestions coming from
the transportation and food commit
tees of the Colorado Defense Council
and the Public Utilities Commission.

ingly time enough has zone by and
things enough have been proved or
disproved to give certainty to tha
word that Woodrow Wilson has found
Edward n. House an advisory asset.
There hardly can be much Of real
mystery about man who twice since
this great war began tas been sent
abroad rs a special commissioner for
the president Of the United States. Col
onel House has been twice in Berlin.
five times In Paris, and frequently In
other Of the great European capitals.
Some day 1t may be that Woodrow
Wilson will write what may be called
an photographed review Of his nd
ministration. II he does 1t Is entirely
likely that the part taken by Colonel
House in the shaping Of some Of the
policies Of the president may be given
the page place which many men be-
lieve that 1t deserves.
No Mystery There.
While living in New York Colonel
House resides In an apartment not
very far uptown. It II a homelike
place where good books are found and
where good friends may come. 1t Is
genial place and no curtain Of mystery
hangs over the door Of any one of Its
rooms. Men 60 there and are well
come. They 60 and they talk. Man
learns as much from man as he learns
from books and more perhaps II we
believe the ancient saying about the
proper study Of mankind.
asked Colonel House what his rec

show the kind Of books that he has
read still Is reading and will continue
to read, for those in thu book cases
are made the companions day by day
Of the others as they come from the
hands of writer's worth while.
No man probably can read politics,
legislation, economics and history con-
stantly without getting some Of DR..
Dry-as- -Dust's characteristics. So 1t Is
that Colonel House does not read the
four fOrmidables constantly. He turns
to fiction and here one finds something
of possibly more than passing human
Interest.
