The st. Cloud Times and the Herald
were practically alone in suggesting,
at the time of the proposed telephone
consolidation, less haste and more in
vestigation The railroad commission
seemed too have already made up it's
mind that the division Of territory was
a good thing, and the few DIRECTORS did
not oct very far. 1t is now apparent
that very few people knew the facts,
and that it was unwise, without the
fullest information presented to the us
ers who pay the bills, to have allowed
the change. 1t was supposed that there
would be economy by the change, and
an increase in rates was not to be ex-
pected. 1t looks now as if the CONNER
cial bodies went off half-cock on this
proposition. 1t remained for the strike
of the operators in the twin cities to
bring out some interesting information,
not genrally known, and to that extent
the girls deserve thanks, even though a
better time for stri Ike might have been
chosen.
The president has spoken. His mes
sage is splendid presentation OF the
needs of reconstruction, a proper trib-
ute to the achievements of the army and
navy, and a statement Of reasons for
the trip to Europe which will satisfy
any but the narrow partisan. We are
among those who would have been glad
to see declaration for government
ownership Of the railroads, yet the
presidents message on this point is
satisfactory, since he does not close the
door but announces that there must be
no return to old conditions. The presi-
dent has been subjected to a torrent OF
abuse 10y partisan leaders and newspa-
pers Of late which is disgrace to the
country, and which, if needed abroad, as
it is not likely to he, would discredit the
United States. The president message
will not satisfy those who have made up
their minds not to be satisfied, but
everybody else will endorse it. A
striking thing in it, which the president
would hardly have said were it not true,
was that the allies had accepted his
principles Of peace as basis for the
conference That alone is one of the
greatest achievements Of an American
president and would serve to make
Wilson immortal.

ATTEMPTED Suicide.

The Sioux City Journal dated July
18th contains an article regarding the
attempted suicide of Miss Nora john
son of Norfolk, Neb. AS far as can
be learned the young lady concerned
was a resident of Webster City about
two years ago, being employed as a
domestic. She was connected with
the local branch of the Samaritan
Army, and was lieutenant under
Mrs. w. B. Thompson, who was cap
tain at the time. The Journal has
the following to say of the matter:
Miss Nora Johnson, the young wom-
an who shot herself through the right
breast Monday because her lover, an
Omaha man whose name has not been
given out by the police had been too
friendly with another girl, is slowly
recovering. Doctors say that she has
good chances to live. The girl makes
no explanation except to say that she
wanted to end her life. She repeat
eddy asks for the presence of the man
in the case.

Suggests Use for, Idle School.

J. F. Deems, state food administra-
tor, has sent the following letter to
all county food administrators and
all school superintendent in Iowa:
In Iowa right now more than $4,000
school buildings are idle and empty.
Many, if not all, of the high school
buildings are equipped with domestic
science appliances.
In every town there are domestic
science teachers, advanced students
in domestic science and graduates OF
domestic science departments of col
leges, who would appreciate the OPP
portunity to do patriotic service Of a
special kind during the summer.
Why not organize this force for the
good of the cause of food conserva-
ton!
Forty canning centers have been
established in the public schools OF
Greater New York. Similar work is
being done in Baltimore schools.
Is there any reason why Iowa
should not use it's $43,O00,0O0 worth
of school buildings during the sum-
mer for a service of like kind, but
specially devoted to instructing the
women of Iowa in canning, preserv-
ing and dehydrating vegetables?
The canning centers in New York
are opened to all women and older
girls. Cooking lessons are given and
cooperative baking is carried on. NO
thing can be prepared for sale but
women may can all they desire for
their families. The work is not only
highly patriotic in teaching conser-
walton of food but in its appeal tc
better and more economical living.
If the school boards of Iowa will
consent, the food administration ant
/ its womens committee surely car
organize this great service for oul
nation and the people Of our state II
most of the larger towns at least.

Can.tune.ment, says Kipling.

3 Owing to dispute arising recent
ly over the pronunciation of "can.
tonment"-when meaning perma'
nent military camp in the United
States-the Flint (Mich) journal
says the matter was referred to Rud'
yard Kipling for an authoritative de-
cision. The American soldier, says
this journal, generally pronounces
the word "can-tone-ment," but Mr.
Kipling held it to be "can-tune-ment.
The word first came to the notice Of
American readers in the English au
thOr's Indian tales.

Busy Little Bee is a Red Cross
Worker.

Washington, D. c., July 19.-The
little busy bee improves each shining
hour just like a Red Cross worker
these days, and he's singing the kali
ser quite considerably.
About 25O,OOO,OOO pounds of hon
ey are produced annually in the Uni

ture announces. This is an important
contribution to the nations food sup
ply, particularly in these days of su-

an increase in honey production to
at least 10 to 20 times the amount
now produced. The available supply
of honey nectar at present is only

Prof. Norton's Band.

Norton's ChautauQua Orchestra and
Band closed this years program at
Chautauqua at night, playing to a
big audience. They were advertised
as Royal Grenadiers, which is the only
bit of false advertising in this years
program. This company of musicians
was on a Webster City program in
1912. The home of the company is
Grand Forks, North Dakota. They are
mostly college men, and this Is the
tenth year of the organization in this
line of work. Prof. Norton is director
of music in the University of North
Dakota, position he has held eight
years. Miss Mabel Duncan, celloist.
is now travelling with the company
in place of a man who has recently
joined the colors. Miss Duncan is
from Glasgow, Scotland, and has tour
ed the British Isles and the Continent
with her cello, on which instrument
she is a skilful player.
This company rendered the follow
ing program, the first part with brass
instruments, the second part as an
orchestra with instruments chiefly Of
string.

IN WHOSE CUPp

In whose cup?
Yours or the soldiers
Are you going to save sugar or are
you going TO waste ~
Are you going 10 use the smallest
amount Of sugar possible, or you going
TO continue TO use sugar as you did in
the days before the war;
Saving sugar here means sugar over
there, and ships TO carry il, from here
10 there.
You probably have heard that there
is no shortage of sugar, and that the
raw sugar output is as big as, II not
bigger than ever and some one has told
you that there is no need OF saving
sugar This is the most insidious sort
of German propaganda because II is
partly true and partly false,
The shortage in sugar in this coun'
try is not due TO any shortage in sugar
crop, but to shortage OF ships
Seventy-fve per cent OF the sugar
used in this country has to be carried
here in ships These same ships are
needed to transport our troops, our
munitions, and the food for the Allies
and our soldiers and sailors to France
Part Of these sugar carrying ships have
been transferred to more important
carrier service, This has resulted in
largely lessened import tonnage OF sugar
and this means a shortage Of sugar here.
Our soldiers and sailors and the Allies
must be supplied with sugar That
supply must come out Of our limited
supply here
No law has been asked to compel
the individual to apportion his supply
of sugar in a sensible logical and un
selfish manner.
The Food Administration merely
ASKS you to save,
What are you going to do about it
