A Courteous Conductor

'Tt was the politeness and considera- tion of the street car conductor" said Roy Smart.
 At about noon yesterday on board a Tidewater car going east was woman-very young looking to be a mother-with an infant At Twenty fifth street she pushed the button to get off. When the car stopped she left her seat and also her purse, and made her exit from the car. apparent ly going to the Terminal station.
 Near the seat she had occupied a plainclothes man of the city police force sat When the car started again he noticed the purse and called the conductor, who immediately inquired who had occupied the seat. Then he stopped the car and left with the purse He found the young woman in the mio- d1e of the block, standing still list lessly wondering what she would do,' for she had just missed her purse. Smilingly, the conductor returned to her the lost article and hastened back to his car, resuming his duties just as if he had done nothing more than to collect a passengers fare. Every per son on the car was pleased-none was fretful-that he had left his car stand ing and gone back to find the woman and save her much worry, inconveni- ence and possibly time.

IN AUSTRALIA
Unless ProtiteerIng Is Checked,
Government Warned Of Seri-
Gus Consequences.

ADELAIDE, South Australia, Sept.
1.-Industrial unrest continues, and
the position in South Australia has
become so acute that a deputation
from the Trades and Labor Council
serious consequences unless substan.
tial measure of relief were granted.
The unions put down the present
widespread discomfort to several rea-
sons, the increased cost Of living,
profits made by private concerns. and
the delay in applying the living wage
determination. There is almost ten
dency to defend revolutionary tactics.
The agitation is partly against the
profiteers. During the deputation to
the minister for industry, the leader
Of the Labor Party in South Australia
interjected: IF man waves a red
flag we deport him; but to these men
who breed revolution we do nothing."
That statement was cheered. The
secretary Of the Labor Party also said:
'Can it be wondered that there is a
revolutionary element in Australia
when people connected with large con-
Germs are exploiting the COMMUNITY
to the extent they are -today?"
Minimum Living Wage.
A living wage of los. Cd. a day was
granted last October in this state, but,
owing to the congestion in the indus
trial court, very few Of the unions
are enjoying that rate at present. The
lament is that the standard Of profits
is increasing and that the purchasing
power Of the mems wages is decreas-
ing.
The unions are urging the govern
nent to adopt a. more expeditions

it has been granted, and of linking
with the authority Of the arbitration
court, the right to impose a restric-

Limit Private Profits.
The minister of industry confessed
that the government could not close
its eyes to the serious Industrial un-
rest everywhere, not in South Australia
only but throughout Australia. He
sympathized largely with the workers
in their request for the living wage.
It was clearly the intention of the
act, he said, that when living wage
was prescribed it should come into
force and legislative machinery might
be devised to that end. It was patent
that there had been serious increase
in the cost Of living and that there

OF land will be planted to its first
crop of potatoes this coming Decem.
Der.
The concern will install its own ir.
rigation system, including pumping
plant, and will shortly begin the con-
|struction Of main canals and laterals
Clearing of the other $50 acres
viii be started at later date.
While the principal purpose of the
project is to grow potatoes, the plans
OF the company have in view keep
ing the lands busy the year round,
rotating the crops. There will be
watermelons, cantaloupe, beans, cot
ton, perhaps some corn, tomatoes, and
other truck crops, all of which will
find an outlet through the company's
already established marketing sys-
tenn.
In connection with this develop
ment, the-company is encouraging the
establishment of other truck farms
in this district. hoping in this way to
increase its own source of supply for
the markets. Contracts already have
been entered into with the japanese
colony now being established on the
old Brulay place to take their entire
production.
1t is claimed that the cection in
which this new ventare is TO be estab-
llshed holds promise Of making the
finest potato raising district in the
country, for winter growing purposes.
The immediate Brownsville district
puts the first new potatoes on the
market every spring, but heretofore
planting has been mainly in the latter
part Of January. This concern plans
to plant in December and thus be
easily the first on the market. Freez-
es are rarer down the river from
Brownsville, it is said, than even a
few miles above the city, heretofore
the potato raising district. The tenn
perature in winter below the Piper
plantation is said to average about
six degrees warmer than i'm Browns
vile.
Messrs. We'll, McAdams, Burns and
other members of their party expected
to leave Brownsville this afternoon
for their homes to make all trial
arrangements for the development OF
their project.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July
10.-President Wilson told news
paper correspondents today that
he is extremely gratified that the
peace treaty was ratified so
promptly by the German national
assembly. He indicated he felt
that trade relations with Ger
many and her associated nations
should be resumed at the earliest
possible moment, for without
trade Germany would be unable
to meet the reparation demands.
The president felt that troops
should remain in Germany until
all the military terms of the
treaty are complied with. He
pointed out there are several mil
lion veterans soldiers in Ger
many with sufficient munitions
to operate.
The Germans have four
months in which to deliver all
material except sufficient for
the reduced German army and
the president believes American
troops should remain on the
Rhine until the material Is deliv-
cred.
Discussing the peace negotia-
tions he said the league coven-
ant is included in every treaty
negotiated mt Versailles, includ-
ing that with Bulgaria, with
whom the United States was new
er at war.
Regarding Fiume, he said ii
should 20 to Croatia and that
Italy did not claim the city when
that treaty was signed.
Demobilization he said de-
pends upon the speed with which
the military conditions in the
treaty with Germany are COM
piled with and the ratification by
} the various governments. He
feels that the United States must
play a generous part in the re-
construction of Europe, but be-
lieves il should be accomplished
by the establishment of a basis
Of credit rather than by direct
government aid.
President Wilson let il be
known to the correspondents
