.CONIMENDS BIBLE
TO THE TROOPS
President Wilson Urges the Daily
Reading Of the Bible.

Out of the rush OF his war-driven
life President Woodrow Wilson has
taken the time to write a. personal
message to the soldiers and sailors OF
the American army and navy, COM
lnending them to the daily reading Of
the Bible.
The message was written ut the re-
quest of Robert b. Haines, Jr., secre-
tary of the American branch Of the
Scripture Gift mission, whose office is
In Philadelphia, and will appear on
the front hgleaf 81 an edition of $4,000
copies of the New Testament, beauti-
fully Illustrated in colors, and especial

can army and navy.
The presidents message follows:
1.-THE White House, Washington, July

I beg that you will read it and find
this out for yourself read, not little
snatches here and there, but long pass
ages that will really be the road to
the heart Of 1t. You will find it full
of real men and women not only, but
also Of the things you have wondered
about and been troubled about all your
life, as men have been always; and
the more you read the more it will
become plain to you what things are
worth while and what are not !; what
things make men happy loyal, right
dealing, speaking the truth, readiness
to give everything for what they think
their duty, and most Of all, the wish
that they may have the real approval
of the Christ, who gave everything for
them; and the things that are guar
anteed to make men unhappy selfish
ness, cowardice, greed and everything

read the Bible you will know that it
is the Word of God, because you win

TAKING INVENTORY OF
TELEPHONE UTILITIES

More than 10000 miles of telephone
toll lines will be valued by the Engin-
eering division of the Minnesota Rail
road & Warehouse Commission within
the coming year. After two weeks of,
preliminary instruction and coaching,
three crews of practical telephone men.
will begin next week to make detail
ed inventory of the toll lines in Hous-
ton and Winona counties. Additional
crews will be organized as soonsas suit.
able men may be obtained, and it is
expected that by fall, nine or ten crews
will be at work.
The utmost care is required Of the
field men in their work. Every pin on
the cross arms, every glass insulator
and the enumerable units Of construc-
ton must be counted and reported.
The size, heighth and general cond ition
OF all the poles, together with the kind
and position of guys and anchors are
required for this inventory-in other
words the detailed data required by
the Commission is almost unlimited and
the work of gathering the information,
necessarily will be slow.
The purpose of this undertaking is
to ascertain the value Of all the tele,
phone property in the State used for
toll purposes with view Of obtaining
a basis for determining the reasonable
ness of the prevailing rates for toll
service. The inventory figures will
be compiled the value determined by.
expert telephone men and statisticians
and the final reports filed with the
commission. go ~.
Commissioner, Charles e. E,mquist
accompanied the party to Winona in
order to inform himself on the methods
employed by.t field crews in obtain

Commission. D. z. Jurgensen, Chief
Engineer of the Minnesota Railroad &
Warehouse Commission is in charge Of
the entire work, and will visit the
crews from time to time to see that
they are following the standards he
has prepared.

life. To be sure, certain amount
of relaxation is necessary TO the
prosecution of the most deadly busi-
ness, long drawn out. The soldiers
at the front have their theatricals.
A very limited amount Of luxury is
a necessity of life. But the people
at home should take their share in
the earnest work Of beating the enc
nv by wasting nothing that can con-
tribute to that end. The transition
from banquets TO bread tickets can
not be made in a day or a month,
but if with wheat at $3.50 bushel it
must come sooner or later, the sooner
the better.
Therefore conservation of all forms
of activity and wealth should be in
proportion as they do not contribute
to success in arms; and the most i'm
portant function Of the Council Of
National Defence is to focus the mind
and effort of the American people on
the sole subject of winning the war,
by a prompt, if necessarily gradual,
conversion Of activities.
Economy Of consumption in wheat
and oil and rapidity Of distribution
in coal and iron ore are Of first i'm
portance. Restriction of consumption
and use of other commodities may
come more gradually, but to depre-
cate it is to deprecate enlistment, for
the production of general goods will
vary inversely with the output Of
fighting effort.-LoUrerce Chamber
