You and Us

Most of the materials
that go for war purposes
are also needed in the
equipment of street cars
and street car lines.
We cannot get what
Uncle Sam wants first.
Why should we? We must
win the war and Uncle
Sam has a big job on his
hands. Nobody should lift
a finger that would in any
way throw an obstacle in
the way.
So it hits us directly.
We have confidence that
the public is we'll aware of
the situation. We need lots
of materials-they were
ordered m o mt his and
months ago. We would
be only too glad to receive
them so that repairs could
be made.
The motorman and con-
ductor on the car in which
you ride are anxious to-
have their car-your car
up to it's highest efficiency.
Don't blame them for a
flat wheel. Nor can they
help a shortage Of wheels.
Flat wheels, are not
nearly as bad as being in
the trenches.

The President replied to
the Secretary Of the Treas
ury, on February l9, 1918,
expressing the view that
public utilities companies
be maintained at maximum
efficiency for the full and
vigorous prosecution of the
war.
Light, heat, power and
transportation facilities are
all necessary for the speed
ing up Of the war.
Secretary of the Treas
ury, William c. McAdoo,
in his letter of February
IS, 1918, addressed to the
President, urges the neces-
sity of fair treatment of
street railways companies.
Materials for transporta-
ton needs are drawn upon
in unheard of measure. The
government needs more
and more as each day
comes along. Our nation
is not only helping to
supply our Allies-but is in
great need of materials for
our own military require
ments. p,
Where the street cars are
most needed are at the
points where war making
machinery is the heaviest.

CROPS BETTER
THAN EXPECTED
Red River Valley Shows Elk.
ceptional Yields Of Wheat,
Barley and Oats.

Minneapolis, Aug. 3o.-Threshing
returns in the northwest are better
than first expected, according to the
crop report issued today by the Van
Dusen- Harrington company. In the
Red River valley exceptional yields
noted. The same results have been
met in many parts Of Minnesota and
South Dakota.
Grain Scattered by Wind.
The weather conditions have so
improved the past few days that
threshing and harvesting has again
started" said the report. 1.-THE heavy
ably did considerable damage to
grain in the shock. In various. Sec
tions of the northwest grain which
had been cut was scattered about the
fields and thoroughly soaked. Cars
of wheat which had been threshed
too soon after these rains have ar
rived on the market and because of
the poor condition have lost several
grades. We believe, however, with
the improved weather that the later
threshed grains will show, good
quality.
"In Montana on the irrigated lands
the yields will show a good average,
and along the eastern border and the
central and southern parts of the
SIdICs WAS1C ldIo xdlllS udV0 TcV4V0O
the crops, averages Of from 10 to IL
bushels of wheat to the acre are pre-
dicted.
TN number Of districts the early
flax has been cut and we look for an
early movement of this. While the
temperatures have been low at var
ious times, we have not heard of any
particular damage from frost, SO that
much of the late flax may escape
damage from this cause. In Mime
sofa and South Dakota there is prob
ably better than an average yield Of
flax.
'The corn crop throughout the
northwest Is maturing in fine shape
and will soon be out of danger; the
ears are large and the quality should
be very high.
MANY farmers who stacked their
grain are now starting their fall
plowing. The soil is in good condi-
ton, due to recent rains, and as the
, season is early a large amount Of fall
work will be accomplished.
There is considerable complaint
in places Of the scarcity Of labor, but
volunteers from the towns have been
Of great assistance to the farmers.
While threshing, may be slow, it will
probably all be we'll taken care Of"

Diplomatic relations between Spain

There have been evidences of excite

the situation, especially since Spain
instructed her minister to Germany to
inform the German foreign Office that
Spain purposes to replace ton for ton
Spanish ships sunk by German sub
marines with German ships now in
termed in Spanish ports. It is said
that Germany has not replied as yet
to the Spanish decision. It is prob
able that this situation is the "other
