RAILROAD TO MURRAY
HEARING TO Be HELD
COMMISSION GIVES PROMPT At
TENTioN TO REQUEST OF
PETITIONERS.

There Is strong probability that
Prichard to Paragon, will be restored
n the spring. At least the matter Is
being taken up by the state utilities
commission and a thorough investiga-
tion will be made. If the results Of
the investigation seem to justify It.,
the commission will unquestionably
issue instructions to the O.-W. r. &
N. company to restore the track and
reestablish regular train service A
few weeks ago the people of the North
Side and in other sections of the
county petitioned the utilities COM
mission to take action in the matter;
setting forth the great disadvantage
imposed upon the people who were
served by the railroad and who have
been deprived Of railroad transporta-
ton for practically two years,
The petition of citizens addressed to
the utilities commission was presented
in person by Adam Aulbach, of MUIR
The petition itself and the personal
explanation of the situation by Mr..
Aulbach evidently impressed the COM
mission with the justice of the cause,
and they are evidently preparing to go
into the matter thoroughly A few
days ago Mr.. Aulbach received the
following letter:
Boise, Idaho, December Q, 1919.
Adam Aulbach, Murray, Idaho
Dear Sir: With reference to your fa-
vor of the 10th ult., with regard to the
resumption of service on the Prichard-
Paragon branch, will say that If the
roads are returned to their private
owners January 1, 1920 we will at
once send you notice of hearing, which
Twill be held in this matter at Murray
Idaho. If Murray is not the best place
to have this hearing, please advise at
once.

Hon. r. L. Givens, Attorney for
Public Utilities Commission, Boise,
Idaho-Dear Sir: Yours of the 9th in
stant, relating to hearing in Prichard-

railroads are returned to private own
ers and hearing ordered by the COM
mission, would suggest that Wallace,
Idaho, be designated as the place of
such hearing, Murray being somewhat
isolated without rail connection and
inconvenient to reach during winter
months. Our people are very much
pleased over the prompt action of the
commission and yourself in this mat =

DEAR FOLKS:

ilTHE workman I met
the oftenest at the |
Wilson & Co. plant,
Chicago, was t h e d "a y /
watchman. He is the Sen
tinel on Guard-and he is t
an active, intelligent, happy !
and proud Sentinel. Do /
you know why? TIL tell 7
you.
Up to three years ago, this
Watchman look e d upon
himself as a mere machine.
He felt that he occupied a
menial position because he
was treated as a menial.
N o b o dy paren t1y
thought him worth while.
Every day was the same to
him. Nothing happened
between sunrise and sunset
to relieve the monotony of
his life. He was discour-
aged as most workers are
who do not get kind words
] or attention.
But a new hold on life came to
him three years ago this month
and it was all brought about
through a little act of kindness.
My, how small courtesy
changes things for all of us! 1t
dispels clouds and floods our
pathway with sunlight. Let me
tell you what the watchman
told me
"The day that Mr.. Wilson came
here to take charge of the bust
ness which had been given his
name, what do you suppose was
the first thing he did? Why, he
came to my shanty, shook hands
with me and said, John, I want
you to know that I think you
are holding a very important
position. I look to you to watch
|. things very carefully. So much
. depends on you. If you will
put your heart in your work and
help me all you can 1 will be
very grateful. From now on
you are going to be right arm
to this business. I need your
help to make it a success. 1
hope we will be good friends.
What do you say?' And, of
course, I said, I'll help and I
thank you so much for thinking
that can help YOU From that
time on, I have been very happy.
I am very proud of the position
I hold. Mr.. Wilson always
speaks to me and shows that he
likes me. I am just the average
human being and when a man
respects me and treats me right,
it makes an awful lot of differ
ence in my viewpoint of life. I
feel that I am now a real man
doing work that is necessary
and helpful"
John and I got along fine to-
gether during my daily visits to
Wilson & Company plant cover
ing a period of five weeks. We
had many a chummy chat. He
introduced me to many of the
workers, all of whom respect
him. He dresses in a blue uni
form and stands guard with as
much pride as the Commander
of U. S. Warship stands on the
bridge of his ship. This is the
sort of spirit that makes busi-
ness prosper.
Another workcr-this one q young
woman-told me that the courtesy
| shown the watchman by Mfr. Wilson
was witnessed by hundreds of work.
crs who were standing Mt the win
/ dows of the big Office building
watching for his coming. She said:
II can't describe to you the wave OF
satisfaction that Immediately struck
us all. Instantly the word went all
through the plant that Mr.. Wilson's
first act was to visit the watcllman,
and the cry went up in all DEPART
ments a real man has come to lead
us; now we can put heart i'm our
work; now we are sure of apprecia-
ton. now we know we will get q

a change was brought about ut once.

Appeal TO Huns Hunger

army month by month.
After a few weeks Of this lombard
ment, a leaflet with a series Of "Qucs-
tlons for German soldiers was sent
over. These questions were designed
10 start the German to thinking about
what the food Of American soldiers
meant 10 him.
On top Of these appeals was piled an
other appeal In The shape Of list VI

ers. The various articles Of food were
enumerated with particular emphasis
upon white bread, real coffee and to-
baoco and butter and other foodstuns
unknown to the German ration. This
proved to be one Of the strongest argu-
ments-the German stomach yielded
easier than the German mind. At v0ri-
Gus points on the front deserters came
into our lines with copies OF the ration
list in their hands.
After each OF President Wilson's
snecches and notes 10 Germany, hun
dreds OF thousands Of copies Of trans

lines. Within two days after the
speeches American sirplanes were drop

cluded, "Why do your officers hide such
