EFFICIENCY WEEK PLANS

AS means Of promoting pro-
duction and conservation, the
State Committee Of Food Produc-
ton and Conservation has de-
cided to call for the observance
of Efficiency Week, january
to IA, inclusive.
The purpose in setting aside
this week as Efficiency Week is
to secure the close study by all
Minnesotans of the problems OF
production, distribution and ser
vice, preservation Of breeding
stock, farm and household equip
ment, food and clothing, care OF
pardens and fruits, and labor.
The general plan is to urge
every organization in the state to
set aside some adequate time or
times during the week named
for discussion of the problems
Of greatest interest to it. The
work must be done through local
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1918-01-05

Uncle Sam keeps a large num-
Der of educated, we'll trained ex-
perts constantly at work, figuring
out how to win the war by saving
the waste and then, after the war,
helping along thrift and prosper
ity, therefore happiness, by con-
tinuing habits of saving and the
utilization of waste products.
Just now, the question of gar
bage collection and garbage dis
posal faces the city Of Duluth.
Private collection or municipal
collection are real problems. In
cineration, feeding or other dis
position of the city's garbage,
once it is collected, are important
problems, calling for correct solu-
ton.
Uncle Sans experts inform his
children that there are five meth
DDS Of disposing Of garbage, viz :
1-burial; 2-dumping; 3-incin-
Grafton; 4 feeding; 5 reduction.
Burial and dumping are easily
carried on at a low cost but all
values are lost and, without great
care, nuisances are likely to result,
as Capt. McDougall and his ship
builders we'll can testify. Even in
cool Duluth, the city dump often
smells to high heaven.
Until recently, American cities
have had a strong tendency to-
wards incarceration, especially the
smaller cities. That method means
material expense, both for install
lation of a plant and: desperation.
The cost usually is greater than
any revenue obtained. Incinera-
ton, especially in these times, is
inconsistent with conservation.
Disposal of garbage by feeding
to piggeries has brought satisfac-
tory results, where proper care
has been observed. The popular
prejudice against feeding garbage
to porkers is not we'll founded as
shown by expert testimony. Gar
bage-fed hogs at a Grand Rapids,
Mich, piggery, also were less sus-
ceptible to: cholera than grain and
grass fed hogs.
The municipal garbage waste
per 1000 population will keep 25
hogs and bring them to market
ing point. Duluth, therefore, with
100000 population, in theory, at
least, should supply enough gar
bage to maintain $500 hogs.
Taking the present prices for
pork, garbage has a value OF 81
to S. ton for hog feeding pur-
poses. .,@.
There has been a belief that
garbage has low value as a fer
tilizer. Government tests, how
ever, show that garbage tankage
makes an excellent fertilizer, prop
erly treated.
Existing garbage utilization

"All the others have gone to Su-
perior with, possibly, three or
four exceptions. Chief McKercher
should be disciplined for that re-
mark. "
The commissioners did not
seem to feel much interest in the
matter. They showed the bored,
vague, tired attitude that they
first did when the revision of the
box car ordinance came up. A
heavier attendance of citizens
might have caused a quick in
crease in their interest. No ques-
tions were asked and there
seemed to be a feeling of relief
on the part Of the commissioners
when their masters, the people,
LETT the council chamber.
The people, however, had sue
ceeded in making their stubborn
servant come off his high horse
and talk. He was a bit clumsy
with his tongue, after having lost
it for six months but he talked,
after a fashion.
Only a few days before, when
questioned as 10 his position
towards the inquiry, the big
laddie buck is alleged to have
Said:
"This is my private business.
When anyone butts into my pri-
vale affairs, h. can 60 to h---l.'
But the people helped their
big servant find his lost trngue.
They forced him to use it, crook
edly, possibly, but to use it.
Some other day, they may re-
quire him to use it more freely
and definitely.
The people are chief McNer-
cher's masters. He is their ser
want. Commissioner Silborstein
is only a "straw boss" Many,
many times, straw bosses have
been discharged.

IS IMPORTANT PROBLEM

plants in the United States now
turn out grease products worth
$S,50O,000 annually. Fertilizer
tankage from these plants has an
aggregate value of $2,250,000.
The garbage tankage from all
the existing plants annually
amounts to 100000 lb. Of nitro
gen, 25,OOO,OOO Id. of bone phos-
plate and 100000 lb. of potash.
Glycerine is the most important
by-product of the grease saved
from garbage each year by exist
ing plants. Recovered glycerine
is sufficient to make 100000 lb.
of nitro lycerine, after which
there is enough soap grease to
make 200,0O0,000 1907. cakes of
soap.
"There are two sides to the
problem of utilization" states one
authority, its cost to the COM
munity and the revenues that can
be obtained from utilization
and when we consider the problem
of conservation, even if there were
no revenues, it is desirable to util-
ize all valuable elements which
otherwise would be- wasted.
''There is a great shortage of
materials that can be produced
from garbage. 1t is not question
of profit; every community should
utilize it's wastes and make avail
able from this source everything
possible for the country's needs. "
|, War is having two effects on
garbage. 1t is decreasing the
quantity and, also, the quality, or
values, recoverable by present day
practice.
Experts declare that to date,
the decrease in quantity is due to
increased prices asked for food
stuffs rather than to the conserva-
tive movement. U. S. food admin
istration studies show that the
average decrease for sixty Ameri-
can cities was from II to Is per
cent. Some cities, however, show
an increase.
Decrease in garbage does not,
necessarily, show a decrease in
food wastes. The amount of
grease recovered from garbage is
a better indicator than the guam
tity of garbage collected. The
past nine months show a decrease
of 80 per cent over the amount OF
grease recovered for the same Pc
riod in 1916. Today, the pur-
chaser gets more waste matter
with his meats than formerly.
This is proven by the reduced
quantity of scraps sold to the rem
dering companies by the meat mer-
chants. Today, people are COM
PEELED to buy and eat what for
merly was trimmed off, rejected
and thrown into the scrap pile by

MINNEsOTA'S HONEY CROP.

It is estimated that nature
stored up enough sweetness last
year to make 100000 pounds
of honey in Minnesota. The bees
managed to gather and store up
100000 pounds. More bees are
necessary but scientific and wise
handling of them also enters into
the problem. Last year, honey
advanced from eight to fifteen
cents a pound, therefore there is
money in the sweet product. The

Mr.. Halden is that he has lost
nearly every political move for
the past year. Defeat after de-
feat, failure after failure, dis
appointment after disappoint-
ment, have showed others, if not
himself, that his will has lost it's
power and his hand it's cunning.
The liberal and long-continued
use Of the deadly Double Cross
has done more than any other
one thing to. bring the Halden
regime to an end. Only recently,
he attempted a bold but desper-
ate grand-stand play but lost be-
cause the basis Of that play was
insincerity, double-dealing and
the bestowal of the Double Cross
on men who, previously, never
had failed to obey the auditorial
will.
The man who boasts that he
now wears the shoes Of former
boss Willcuts, overplayed his
hand. His tricks were coarse. and
clumsy and his former support
ers saw that the deck had been
stacked against them. Halden
then hit the bumps with dull,
sickening thuds.
The question heard many times
day, on all sides, is: "Who is
going to run against Halden and
who can beat him?"
The Rip-saw has neither de-
sire nor intention, to try to name
Mr.. Halden's successor. That is
something devolving on the peo-
pie and, for once, they should
express their real and true choice.
There undoubtedly will be a
number of aspirants and Mr.. Hal
den may be expected to get as
many Of his personal tools into
the game as possible. The more
candidates, the better for his
hopeless cause.
When it comes to replying to
the question, "Who can beat Hal
denY" the Rip-saw maintains
that any clean, honest, average
man can do it. It will not take
any super-man at all, especially
if the people and the competing
candidates refuse to let the Old
Spider Of the courthouse get his
crooked claws into the matter.
While Halden is cunning, con-
scienceless and willing to take
desperate chances, he depends a
good deal on bluff and the sup
port Of some of the Big Inter
ests. MIR. Halden's day has gone,
his race is run. His methods are
quarter Of a century behind
the times. He has intimidated
the entire courthouse by fear OF
his political illwill. The farmers
and residents of the small towns
have not known and understood
his weaknesses. They do today

YUCCA PLANT USED AS
 BINDING TWINE MATERIAL

Riverside, Calf. Aug. 22.-The yucca plant, of the southwestern des- erts has been pressed into service to aid in relieving a scarcity of fibre for making rope and binding twine, due to the world shortage of cargo space. Yucca leaves, according to experts, have, been found to contain a large amount of fibre closely resembling the fibre of the sisal hemp of Central America, a machine has been designed to separate the fibre from the pulp and a plant has been placed in opera tion here. The first carload of fibre produced by the plant was shipped to the east a short time ago.
 The yucca is one of the commonest, as well as one of the most showy of the southwestern desert flora. The plant consists of "a. cluster of bristling sword-like leaves from the center of which in the summer rises a pinnacle of creamy, bell-shaped flowers from five to fifteen feet high.
 Most of the leaves harvested for the new industry here have been cut in the Cajon pass through which the Santa Fe railway crosses the Sierra Madre mountains, but permission has been obtained to gather the leaves anywhere on the public domain and on the desert land holdings of the South ern Pacific company.

626, 900 WOMEN WORK IN
 INDUSTRIES IN FRANCE

Women employed in all branches of industry in France number 626, 1000, according to an official report. This compares with 487,000 employed in normal times. This increase is due almost entirely to the employment of women in metal, industries, chiefly in munition works. 2 The weight which women can be required to carry in factory work is limited by law to 55 pounds.
 Women are widely employed for the inspection of finished goods, they ess- anime separate parts for automobiles; verify light shells, fuses and grenade plugs. They inspect big shells exter- nally and internally by the use of electric lamps, and they test the cali Der, using complicated measuring ap- paratus and microscopes. They nail up cases of all kinds, even cases for airplanes and automobiles. The wom- en supervise the buildings where men are at work and keep them clean.
