made by a telephone manager that
women gossiped ever his lines to the
detriment OF the service. To put a
stop to the practice the manager
threatened to make a small charge for
each conversation. The threat, how
ever, did not bluff the women. They
kept right on possiping about the
cows, chickens and the baby. Final.
ly the manager appealed to the public
service commission.
A hearing was held in Whitehead.
The town was full of people. 1t was
a big day. The hearing was to have
been held in the telephone office,
but that was not lage enough to ac-
commodate the crowd, so ii was held
in the school auditorium. Testimony
developed the fact that nearly all tel
ephone holders were ia favor of let
ting the women gossip as long as
they pleased, each member of a party
line being willing to take his or her
chances on the use Of the line. The
thing they objected to was in having
to pay for the conversation in addition
to the regular monthly dues or rates.
It is easy to surmise .whatthe COM
missioner decided to do after all the
testimony was in. He said that as
long as the subscribers themselves
did not object to women gossiping
over the party telephone lines Of the
company, it nor its manager had no
ground for complaint. The commits
sion further said:
Zone of the great benefits of a !
modern telephone system is to bring
the neighbors and people of different
communities into closer association
and to make communication between
them easy. They should not be too |
much restricted as to what their con- !
versation shall consist of over the tel
ephone." !;

EARLY SHIPMENT PLANNED
FOR XMAS PACKAGES.

a movement has been started IN
various parts Of the country for the
early shipment Of Christmas packages.
The plan was inaugurated in Chicago
and is spreading among transportation
men throughout the country.
Each railroad is to do everything
possible to promote early shipments
OF Christmas packages, whether by mail
or express; according to resolution
adopted by the Car Services committee.
. There will be approximately a mil
lion soldiers in the various environments
and training camps who will receive
Christmas packages Of an average
weight estimated at five pounds, or
one fourth Of the maximum allowance
for parcel post packages. To handle
these packages within few days
before Christmas will be a physical;
impossibility. November Is has been
fixed by the government as the last
day on which Christmas packages may
be sent to the soldiers in Europe.
According to the superintendent Of
the railway mail service there is a
shortage in baggage and mail car
equipment, and declares that it is
imperative that all Christmas parcels
be shipped as early as possible.
This shortage in cars will be more
noticible as the Holiday season approaches

EVERY TIMBER REGION OF THE.
UNITED STATES is REPRE-
sENTED.

IT IS announced Dy the Forest Service
that it has been able to comply IN full
with the request Of the War Department.
for assistance in ecuring qualified lu1n-
bermen and foresters to serve as officers
for. the forest battalions which are to
comprise a part of the American over
seas forces. Three hundred and nine
men have been recc mmended for com
missions in the grades Of major, captain,
first lieutenant, and second lieutenant.
Of these; twc1thirds are practical lumber
men or saWmill operators and one
third are trained foresters with long
woods experience. Some Of the lumber
men who were recommended have also
had theoretical training in forestry
and many Of the foresters have had
experience in logging or saWmilling.
Had Able Assistance.
In the selection Of qualified lumberrnen
the Forest Service has had the close CO.
operation Of subcommittee of the
Lumber Committee of the Council Of
National Defense and Of fourteen COM
mittees of lumbe1men in different parts
Of the country. Almost every man
selected was interviewed by lumber
mems committee or by the Forest Ser
vice officials. Many private foresters
and forest schools have assisted in find
ing technical foresters suitable for COM
missions. All Of the men recommended
have, by successful experience, shown
themselves capable of handling some inn
portant phase of lumbering,> saWmill.
or technical forest work, according to
officials Of the Forest Service. All
have proved by experience their quail
ties Of leadership and their ability to
handle men in large numbers.
Every Region Represented.
Every timber region of the United
States has contributed its share of the
men who have been nc minated for officers
and it is believed that every class Of
numbering, from the smallest portable;
mill operation to the largest and most
up to date plant, is represented.
Among those selected are men experienced
in logging and saving every merchantable
wood growing in this country.
The age limits set in the beginning
required that all officers of the forest
battalions should be thirty-one wears
of age, or older. Because of the diff
Guilty of finding men suitable for leu
tenants, the age limit for this grade
was later lowered to twenty-five years.
The bulk Of the men recommended as
lieutenants range in age from twenty
five to thirty-five, as captains from thirty
to forty and as majors from forty to
fifty. 8s5.
Men who have been recommended
have been notified that all further action
as regards physical examination, the
Issuance of commissions, and the order
in which the successful applicants will
be called for service rests with. the War
Department. SIS. S.

WORK WILL BEGIN NEXT MON
DAY AND CONTINUE UNTIL

The Red Gross Christmas campaign
will open next Monday, November Is,
instead Of November Is as was originally
intended Dr. II oge1; health conf
missioner for this city will have charge
of the work here, and viii be supplied
with the seals in time to get the ball
rolling at once.
Early Sales Necessary.
DR.. /. ]. Murphy of the Minnesota
Public Health association, explains
the reason for starting the campaign
early this year in a letter to the Review.
The American Red Cross valves the
restriction in the contract that no agent
put seals on sale before November 9Th.
We understand that mail to reach
the soldiers in France before Christmas
must be mailed not later than Novem-
Der Is and preferably at an earlier date.
The advantage Of allowing an early
sale ofsRed Cross Seals by local campaign
managers for packages going to our
soldiers is obvious. Accordingly the
American Red Cross valves the restric-
ton in the contract which made Novem-
Der Is the opening day, providing Red
Cross Seals besnot placed on sale before
November 5.
Seals Already Sent.
Continuing DR.. Murphy said:
Red Cross Seal Supplies have all
ready been sent to the towns where
campaign managers volunteered early.
Any community that IS not ready to
start its campaign on the opening day,
November. 9Th may be considered lack
ing in patriotism.
NThis year more than ever the Ameri-
can Red Cross expects to see rousinq
campaigns in every community Of each
Of the states. The fund raised IS to be
devoted for the most part to tuberculosis
war problems; the Red Cross Seal Cam
paign is the only Red Cross activity
devoted to preventive and educational
work; then too nearly all the money
contributed is spent in the community
where it is raised. =

Agriculture from several sources that,
in certain parts Of the country where
this years crop Of wheat is now being
moved, the country grain dealers are
assessing the farmers discount against
all wheat purchases, contending that
such assessment is mandatory by reason
OF the official grain standards of the
United States for wheat under the United
States grain standards act. Apparently
the contention on the part Of the country
grain dealers, is based upon the time
sdockage' contained in> the official
standards. From information received
by the department it appears, however,
that the discount is an actual and ar
bitrary assessment in the interest of the
buyers, and is neither on the basis of the
official standards nor required nor con-
templated by the act or the regulations
Hereunder.
Dockage System Of Grading.
The primary purpose in the estab-
lishment of the official grain standards
of the United States were to provide a
basis whereby parties to Transactions
involving the purchase and sale OF grain
shipped and delivered for shipment
in interstate and foreign commerce
might, thru being able to obtain cor
rect application Of such standards,
arrive at the actual value and make
settlement accordingl These standards
for wheat do not provide for any arbi-
trary assessment for dockage. They
do provide for The determination Of
the amount Of sand, dirt, weed seeds,
weed stems, and certain other matter
called dockage,' which actually may
be present in a lot Of wheat, the amount.
of which, if equal to or in excess Of
sone-half OF | per cent by weight, is to
be stated in terms of the actual per-
centage as a part of the grade designa-
ton Of the wheat. This is called the
dockage system Of grading and has been
used for many years in the Mort
States prior to the adoption Of the official
standards. The transactions in ques-7
ton appear to be purely local, not in.
volYing interstate commerce, and are;
perhaps conducted ina way not within.

Camp Dodge, Iowa.--The Brown

Dodge, all members Of the 351st Regi-

well, and are all feeling fine.
Adolph Amann has been promoted to

Of the boys are very active in the band

Train Service Doubled.
Since the arrival Of the New Ulm and
the Brown county contingent
there have been great many changes in
the appearance of the camp. The
railway depot has benn increased to
twice it's former size, and train service
between the camp and Des Moines is
now every thirty minutes instead of
once an hour as heretofore. In spite Of
the added train service, the trains are
Acrowded on every trip, carrying as many
las 1000 and often 1900 passengers at
a time. This may seem. almost in
credible, but the coaches have been
changed SO that they hold many more
people than the ordinary passenger car
The seats have all been removed and
replaced with benches running length
wise of the car. This permits the carry
ing of more than twice the ordinary
number of people in the car.
