SUGGEST ONE WAY TO REDUCE
 TROLLEY FARES

Witnesses at the heariur before the Public Utilities Commiss-on on the zone system at the Capitol yesterday were asked whether they would be sa eist1ed with the state paying the cost of all new bridges erected. and the municipalities paying for all pay ing work, if the Connecticut Co. low cred its rates and the witnesses re- piled in each case that they would be satisfied. At the present time, the Connecticut Co. pays a certain per centage for new bridges, and also pays a. considerable amount each year for paving work. The company does net have anything to say as to when or how the paving shall be done but
 when the munich DaHties order the work done the company has to pay part of the total cost.

John Hatwan Returns
from Minneapolis Meeting

John Hatwan, local sales manager
for Thompson Yards, Inc, returned
from Minneapolis Monday, where he
attended meeting of the local sales
managers and uperintendents of the
organization. The meeting was held
on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
Of last week and several hundred men
In the organization attended. Mr..
Hatwan reports an unusually interest
ing and instructive meeting. There
was plenty Of entertainment provid-
ed for the boys and convention ses-
sions were held for three days. The
meeting was called for the purpose of
discussing 1919 lumber and building
conditions. The reports from the To-
cal managers throughout the differ
ent states in which Thompson Yards,
Inc, Is operating were all highly opti
mistic. An unprecedented building
activity is certain to occur judging
from these reports.
George P, Thompson, President of
the Company, made several addresses
and outlined the policies of the COM
pany that have made its growth pos
slble during the last four years.
While the Thompson organization is
one of the youngest in the country.
1t has grown to Ee the largest during
the time that it has been organized
because 1t adopted policies that are
unusual IN the merchandising of lum-
ber. One price to all, direct from
the mills, Fall time without interest,
10 per cent discount for cash, no Eek
tras" to pay for, and lot Of other po
licies, are already known to the users
Of lumber In the northwest. All of
these subjects were covered I'm detail
by the officers Of Thompson Yards,
Inc, during the three days session.
In addition G. A. Weyerhaeuser, Of
Little Falls, was present, as well as
other principals in the Weyerhaeuser
organization. Howard Weiss, Of Ma
olson, Wisconsin, gave some interest
ing talks concerning the development
of by-products OF lumber and the uses
to which these by.products could be
put. A. r. Rogers, Chairman of the

F. F. Petrik while visiting here
handed US long letter from his
son John, who is now stationed at
Saarburg, Germany, in which he
writes that since he left Camp
Funston and arrived in France on
June Is, he has gone thru the
thick of it, participating in many
a drive until the armistice was
signed Nov. 11th. Luckily he es-
capped injury. John writes that
the country around and about Saar
burg is truly beautiful, as in other
places in Germany, which is quite
a contrast from the invaded por-
tions of France, where not a town
is left and the ground is pitted
from she'll holes for miles and

millions dollars worth of crops are
destroyed each year in this state
by insects. To stop this great
damage, we N ust protect the
birds which are the natural ene-
mics of insects. Many boys, who
don't know any better are in the
habit of destroying nests and eggs
of birds, altho this is against the
law. Now boys spring is nearing
and soon you will have an oppor-
tunity for your foolish depreda-
tion, but don't do it. You should
protect the birds for the reason
above given instead of destroying
them.

The Irish question is like this:
The surest way to prove to them
how easy it is to lose freedom is
to give them what they want.
In Russia the bolsheviks, head
ed by Germans, are killing off the
intellectuals who want real free
dom for the masses; in Germany
the leaders, secretly prompted by
the ruling classes, are killing off
real friends of the common peo-
pie. Thus it is seen at a glance
that the old German imperialistic
regime is we'll gressed and oiled
both in Russia and Germany to
the detriment of the common peo-
pie of both countries.
