Keller is a champion of the public

Under Mr.. Keller's plan, which was
evolved at the recent hearing OF street
car company officials before the ST
Paul city council when the former
asked to be allowed Scent fare, the
CITY would make no money out OF

would be returned to the people in
the form of reduced fares as soon as
they were made. Likewise in case
of a falling off of receipts the lowered
fares would be raised to normal to

tlceable. The widest possibilities are
opened by the elimination of Bull
garia. The most immediate result is
expected by many to be separate
peace with Turkey due to the sever
ance of its communications with Ger

The haste with which Bulgaria
signed the convention indicated the
nations readiness to concede every
allied demand. Considering Bull
garia's past record, the allies were in
no mood to let her off on easy terms.
They demanded every concession con-
sistent with justice. Announcement
Of Bulgaria's downfall caused a wild
outburst of jubilance on the Paris
bourse.
The United Press learned authori-
tatlVely Chat at present there will be
no separate peace with Bulgaria, and
no political decision affecting that
country's future will be taken. Only
military measures follow the signing
Of the armistice.

Dairy Commissioner James Sorenson
of Minnesota has recommended to
Governor J. A. A. Burnquist and the
state safety commission that they
abolish as useless most of the 1900
cream buying stations serving CEN
traIizers for the purpose of eliminating
waste of cream, labor and transporta-
ton facilities.
Governor Burnquist has not given
orv hint of his attitude towards the
measure. but it Is known there have
been informal conferences and the
matter has been continued over two

known action.
Big Interest Fight.
Efforts of the centralizers, who
would be the chief losers, are being
made to bring political pressure upon
the governor and prevent the meas

absolute power that the safety COM
mission possesses, the cream stations
could be abolished in a day. II they
we're nearly $50 cooperative cream
cries in Minnesota and 100 or more in
North Dakota would get the cream that
the centralizers get.
Mr.. Sorenson in urging action in
Minnesota, cited the example Of North
Dakota, where the council of defense
has recommended similar action, and
the state has abolished those stations
where less than 100000 pounds of but
terfat were shipped last year.,
Points to Waste.
Mr.. Sorenson says that there are
1,25OOOO 10 gallon cans of cream
shipped to Minnesota centralizers,
most of it to the Twin Cities; and
that one-ffth Of this comes from North
Dakota If this North Dakota cream
were not taken out of that state. it
would remain for the struggling
creameries there, and great quantities
now wasted by souring, boiling over,

Dear Uncle:
Am very sorry for not writing
sooner but I've been in the hospital
now for two months and they didn't
begin letting me write letters till a
few days ago. l let Red Cross lady
write two letters to the folks and I
told them to tell you folks all the
news that I wouldn't get a chance to
write to you. She offered to write
you but there are so many patients
in this town and it takes long time
for her to get around and see them
all so I thought I wouldn't detain
her any longer than necessary.
| was broke when I came here and
had lost my razor and other toilet
articles coming from the front. In
fact, was so sick another guy was
carrying my toilet kit for me. A
German saw us and began to shell
us. We stepped in the woods for
protection and it was the first time
at the front and he went so fast
through the bushes I couldn't keep in
sight of him. I went on up to. where
my lieutenant stayed but never saw
the guy with my kit any more so
was in a fix. The nurse dug me up a
safety razor she had gotten to send
to her brother, and I am still using
it.
I would give anything to receive
some mail. I have not received any
for a month before I came to the hos
pital so it will soon be three months.
[ know there must be bushel of it
at the company headquarters. I
wrote and told them where I was,
but they probably never got it, so I
think I shall write again today. I
guess they have been pretty busy ad-
vancing so fast. If they keep on I will
have to go to Berlin to find my COM
pany when I get out of here. The
way things LOOK now I think I'll be
home in year from now, but I don't
figure on it much sooner-it's not ov-
er yet.
I see in the paper where the A. E.
F. will have new system of paying.
They are going to give each one j
pay book, which will enable us to
draw our pay regularly at the first of
each month. The system will be a
fine thing for boys going to the hos
pital, like i'll my case, | have been
here two months broke, where if had
a pay book I could have gotten money
the first day of the month, which
would have come in handy for choco-
Lates or a can of fruit or something
which we don't get here. The way I
it, they are going to pay
the ones in the hospital the first of
The month, and it sure will be fine If
they tto pay. There seems to be a |
of paper-they want you to
write On both sides.
/ hope this finds you well. I prob
ably will be back to my company by
he time you receive this. Best of /

Rev. Dennis ]. Dougherty
Is Named by the Pontif as
Archbishop of Philadelphia

The Right Rev. Dennis ]. Dough-
erty, Bishop of Buffalo, has been
appointed archbishop of Philadel-
phia, succeeding the late Arch
bishop Prendergast according to a
cable from Rome last night.
AS head of the archdiocese of
Philadelphia, the new archbishop
will be the head of the Roman Cath
olic Church in the Pennsylvania dis
trict.
Bishop Dougherty is widely known
in church circles in the eastern part
of the country. He was transferred
to Buffalo in 1915 as successor to
Bishop Cotton, having been bishop
of Jaro and Neuva Segoria, Philip
pine Islands. His health became
impaired in the Philippines and il
was necessary for him to return to
this country. He has long been re-
garded as in line for honors in the
church.
Bishop Dougherty was born Au-
gust 16, 1865. at Ashland, Schuyl-
kill county, Pa, and educated in st.
Mary's College, Montreal. Can, and
at the Overlook Seminary before
going to Rome, where he distin-
guished himself at the American
College.
He was ordained to the priest
hood in Rome in 1890, and upon his
return to this country was appoint
ed a professor in the Overlook
Seminary by the late Archbishop
Ryan. In 1903 he was sent to the
Philippines as Bishop of Neuva
Segoria. Subsequently he was trans
ferred to the See of Jaro,
