After Forty Years.

Along in 1901 Jim" Hancock went to as
a member of the famous Ellsworth Zouaves. He
died the other day in Jersey City after forty years
OF service with the Wells Fargo Company. He
was a money wagon driver
Jim Hancock a picturesque character.
He was big and handsome and grim visaged-but
he knew his Broadway and lower Manhattan. He
was never stopped at crossings and by force OF per-
sonality he piloted the money chests through the
intrcacies of down town New York without hitch
hazard.
When he died the Wells Fargo folks mourned.
He was an humble driver, but he served his en-
ployers with courage and with honor. In allud-
ing to his death a writer in the Wells Fargo Mes
senger says: "If boys now at war measure
up to the standard set by Jim Hancock need
not fear"
1t is sometimes better 10 have those thoughts
cngravcn the hearts OF our fellows than to have
them cut in block OF granite.

HOLLAND"

For longer term OF years than is vouchsafed
TO many, DR.. +. J. Edwards has contributed to the
press a daily letter on finance that is without
peer. Under the pen OF Holland" this
truly remarkable man has presented for more than
a quarter OF a century unbiased review OF
rent financial industrial commercial and transpor-
taton conditions which has challenged the admira-
ton OF the critics and the captains OF these various
spheres OF activity
One OF the highest financial authorities in the
country stated recently that the Holland letter
had not only been his most dependable source of
information, but that he owed much OF the
cess that had come to him to the fact that he
read them daily and believed in them. Surely this
is high praise. To go unsullied through life
time, in a world where intrigue has too often
reaped harvest, should be glory enough for one
man. and it should serve as example to others
and it is fitting that should emulate those who
have mature judgment, wide and accurate informa-
ton. and absolute integrity.
What does Holland say today has been a
daily question in editorial rooms, on the stock
changes and in the markets, in the offices OF bank
crs and brokers and trust companies, for long,
long time. The answer is the best answer that
can be garnered from his mental storehouse. 1t
is great accomplishment, and The Herald joins
many others in wishing DR.. Edwards continuance
of life that has been quite worth while to the
whole world.

THE RESERVE FOOD STORES
AT POINT OF EXHAUSTION

Washingto, Feb. 22.-The most crit
ical food shortage in the history of the
country confronted the eastern part
of the United States today, accor ding
to Food Administrator Hoover
In statement issued last night the
food administrator declared that re-
serve food stores are at the point OF
exhaustion in many sections and that
the scarcity may continue for sixty
days.
Railroad congestion is blamed for
the situation by Mr.. Hoover, who says
the only solution is increased rail
movement of foodstuffs even to the
evolution of many other commodities.
His statement asserts that because OF
transportation difficulties soft corn and
potatoes are spelling and the cost Of
feeding live stock has increased TO
such an extent that feeders are in
danger Of serious losses.
