Canadian Lumberjacks
Do Great Work on Front

London, Jan 23.-There is a Cana
dian Forestry unit which has con-
tributed its little, but important,
share to the splendid French victory
on the Aisne, writes a British CORE
spondent in a London paper. For
three months il has hauled logs and
worked a mill at high pressure right
under the nose OF the Germans, the
light railway taking great timbers
needed for artillery emplacements
and strong points straight from the
saws TO where they were built into
the works which made victory pos
sible. The grateful French comman-
der has mentioned the Canadian COM
pany in his army orders.
Last winter the enemy used 10000
Russian prisoners cutting trees in the
great forest of c. a few weeks
ago I visited this part of what is now
the French line, and instead of Ger
man mills and impressed labor there
are now standard Canadian plants
with Canadian-made machinery and
expert loggers from the Dominion
They have enjoyed their adventure
which has ended so happily in victory,
and there is now no need to keep
their work secret.

FAvORs 1lUNICIPAL CAR LINES.

It NOAA1 MIL Al I'M AA-NA4-1s
Editor FL Paso Herald:
The street car situation seems to
worry our good citizens more than
little. To have jitnes or to not have
jitnes IS the absorbing theme
No one who Is under the painful
necessity of being at a certain place
at a certain time would intimate
both are as efficient as human nature

It would seem that a real up to
date or even ahead OF date. twhy
shouldn't FL Paso show her neigh
bors how to do things) street car
system would be the logical thing
for the situation, not that ] should
want TO put the jitne driver out OF
business, not by any means.
We need more track. more cars.
more men, good men we'll paid Then
we could use our gasoline and tires
to destroy our neighbor across the
pond as one Of your correspondents
suggests.
Oh! no. it would not be necessary
to make any cringing requests Of the
Stone-Webster Co. We know how 10
build street car tracks and can buy
the cars where they buy them For
instance, Glasgow, Scotland, 16 years
ago. took over her car system-water
and all-raised wages, cut hours, and
lowered fares. Now she has, perhaps,
the most efficient system Of any city
in the world, all paid for with an
average fare Of one and q quarter
cents. They are the most comfortable
cars made. with a conspicuous sign
in each car-'no standing allowed"
I should like to suggest TO all kick
ers on both sides if our car system
don't suit US ii is up to US to pro-
duce one that does. It is the business
of the Stone " ebster company TO do
any thing that puts dollars in the
treasury in Boston. The most i'm
portant question we have to decide is
which is more important, private
profits or social service.

JITNEs on MUNDY HEIGHTS.

Editor FL Paso Herald:

service in Mundy Heights addition.
This one direction above all others in
the city certainly needs the iitne
service. We have no street car ac-
commodatiOn-there is just about one
car every half hour and If you should
happen to miss your car, you stand
on the corner and freeze or make up
your mind to walk and climb the hill
no matter how tired you may be.
Should you be fortunate enough 70
get a car, il is usually filled with
Mexicans smoking cigarets. Con-
ditiOns are so foul and dirty that you
wish you had walked.

four Mundy Heights jltnes. A great

DO 1OUs

Editor FL Paso Herald:
While attending a funeral last sun
day at 3 p. m, I noticed among a
procession of ten or u automobiles.
one car driven by a man who I feel
has either lost all respect for the
dead or who feels that a funeral is
the best place to advertise politics.
The particular machine was a large
touring car, color yellow, and on the
windshield was a pennant bearing
the words Vote for Dry" Do you not
think this man was going too far
when he forgot the sacredness Of the
spot to which he was going and
brought his politics to the graveyard.

Now that all are interested heart

that a production Of "Pinafore" would
be very appropriate. With so many
OF our own boys in the navy. the sea
and sailor has a far deeper meaning
than ordinarily.
If 1 remember correctly. "Pinafore"
was given here sometime ago by local
talent so there may be many OF that
cast still in town who would be will
ing to give their services again and
the remainder could easily be made
up
"Pinafore." with It's happy lifts and
oldtime songs, is always well re-
ceived. and repays the artists for
their time and training. With a lit
tie thought artistic programs carry

Of the navy or kept as souvenirs Of

MILL FEED PRICE LOWER
New Milling Rules Of Food Admins.

The new milling rules promulgated
recently by the Food Administration
are resulting in much lower prices for
mill feeds than those which prevailed
in the last year, Investigations by the
Missouri Division of the Food Admin
istration show.
Under the new rules many mills are
selling bran in bulk for 81 a hundred
weight, and some for even less. TIC
this price must be added the cost OF
sacks and margins orprofit for differ
ent classes of sales. The feeder Is as
sured, however. that the price on bran
will be much lower than what he had
to pay last year.
In shorts and other wheat feeds
farmers and feeders have been pro
tected further by the Food Administra
tion by the new rules which prohibit
millers from charging more than IL
cents a hundredweight over the bran
price. Mixed feed, which Is all the
wheat grain not ground into flour
sells for even less. Mills may charge
l6A cents "A hundredweight for such
feed above the price they get for the

CAVE-IN AT REEL
FOOT. TENNESSEE

uarge area of earth on the bluff over
looking ReelfoOt Lake. several miles
below Hickman, is causing great
deal Of interest among those who
frequently visit the famous hunt
ing and fishing resort, rs we'll as con-
siderable excitement among the citi-
2enS of the Lake vicinity.
The giving away of a huge piece
of earth occurred several days ago.
about one north of SamburS, and
directly on top of the bluff near the
Indian mound The bottom seems
to have dropped out of the earth,
allowing the road to drop into hole
some 40 feet deep and 30 or 40 feet
wide. The walls OF the hole are
perfectly perpendicular while the
dirt from the raadbed does not near
fill the cavity, indicating a large re-
cess prior to the sinking of the earth
at that point several days ago. For
IA large area surrounding the cave
in is gaping and showing signs OF
further damage in that vicinity.
while some 800 yards further north
there has been another cave-in, but
much smaller than the one at In

been told tales af the forming OF

ber OF days, feel some degree OF ex-
citement when looking at this gi-

ing few days ago The destruc-
ton of the main road at this partic-

will be difficult to build Il new road
along the bluff and by the side OF the

mile farther,
