load CARS TO LIMIT
AoovER's ORDER IN MOVING
CROPS OF COLORADO.
Shippers Must Utilize Full Space to
Get Entire Output of Fruit and
Vegetables to Market.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver-Drastic efforts to bring
relief to Colorado communities which
are facing heavy crop losses 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 the 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 the
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. 1t 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 emer-
gency orders that would compel ship

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
well as other centers, it was quite evil
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
10000 pounds, but these eighteen cars
averaged AZ, 900 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

ter how gentle. kind, forbearing, for
giving and forgetting the object of it
may be, this In itself will not cure the
attacks. The subject whose heart Is
thus swayed by fierce gales of jealousy
must first awaken to the folly of 1t,
the injustice of it, must be conscious
of the trail of bitterness and unhap-
piness 1t brings to both, must realize
the cruel continued assault on the toll
erance, love. loyalty and patience of
the other, and when the next attack
comes, seek by strength of will, by

wisdom to kill the feeling.
Jealousy must be fought as one

merely to hold back the expressions
of the Jealousy; the continuous re-
preston simply defers the explosion

astrous. Jealousy must be killed In

a restful abiding confidence that only
absolute proof and certainty of just
cause can ever reawaken.
