ovERALLs AND CALICO.

The rush to get into the overalls and calico clubs that are being or ranized about the country will in all probability prove a short lived fad. That it will impress good sized number who are enthusiastic in their desires Co bring down the cost of i;v- lrE and who believe that they are be- lng charged unnecessarily niga prices, there can be no question, but # Is Doubtful fl 1t will last. Yet those who are urging and adopting it iadi- cate the number who are affected by present day conditions in sl.l a way llat they are willing to mI're such tscrifces in order to help them Ieives.
 Cutie in keeping with the overalls idea Is that of wearing old clothes. or tt least wearing out clothes that are ilready possessed. That is what many have been doing without finding it ne- sessary to join any old clothes club or piedEing themselves in order to effect he saving. And in doing this they Ire of course only getting the bene- ht of the dollars that they have pre- riously invested but which under the habits they have cultivated they have lot insisted on utilizing in the past.
 That the rush to the use of overalls should cause an advance in price is only the natural result of the law ot supply and demand To those who wear overalls the year round at thei1 work it will mean increased expenses but the fact should not be overlooked in such an effort as is being made iI protest against the high price oi clothes that there are many opportu- mites for the cutting of costs in other directions which are equally as at- tractive, and it is the general cos cutting through saving rather thar the cut in any one particular instance such as the reduction in the use ot luxuries and needless expenditures that will meet the desired end mucl more satfsfactoriiy

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Less Cows, More Milk.

Mr Editor: was greatly interest ed III an item in the Danielson news in today's issue. It was very nice of w. s. Brown to give the record of the young COWS of his Holstein herd for the purpose of showing what can be done with thoroughbred stock. To be sure such cows cost a great deal of money but, they earn a great deal of money but they earn a great deal of money for theiB owner. Five such cows will take the place of ten ordi- nary scrub cows, eat less grain and ruffage and give more milk. The thoroughbred COW is the cheaper COW in the end. The thoroughbred bull is a necessity in every farming commu- nity because a herd can be bred up in a few years to high degree of production. l have a grade Jersey that is a real long distance COW. She has been milking for nearly nine months and is giving from 25 to 2S pounds of milk every day. AS the cost of grain j. very high and but i ter but 70 cents per pound she is not pushed for production. She is getting | only four quarts of grain per day with l what hay she will clean up. If she were put on a test for a year she i would certainly make fine record | I mention this because know posi- | lively what she is doing. She is an l exceptional COW and worth a tidy sun 1 but if she were a thoroughbred COW she would be worth much more thar she would bring as a grade COW. The slogan of every dairy farmer should be Less cows. more milk"

ACTION IS NEEDED.

The tying up of the railroads, with an the distressing conditions caused thereby. is sufficient reason why the railroad managements and the off, ciais of the brotherhoods should be working together for the ending of the deplorable state of affairs. There is an agreement which the men are supposed to carry out, an agreement which is fully recognized by the brotherhoods. and when a certain number of the members thereof re- fuse to abide thereby it is a matter which those who are loyal should do their utmost to overcome.
 Thus when the railroads give notice to the brotherhoods that they will ex- pcct them to get the strikers back within the stipulated time it doesn't mean a move to antagonize the broth erhoods IL is simply a call which they might expect to receive for cer- tainly 1t is for their interests that the outlaws should be brought back to work as soon as possible, and failing Co respond to the opportunity offered them they ought to expect expulsion not oniy from their jobs but from the brotherhoods.
 The high handed manner in whict the country has been embarrassed by the acts of the radicals is sufficient tC cause determined action. It has beer clearly shown from the start that lhere is no sympathy from public oi 1nion in connection with the radicals and with others willing and anXjou: 10 work even the union heads must appreciate the fact that if, when the railroads are complying with the agreement, they cannot furnish brotherhood members to handle tho Jobs others who can must be expect "a Co be taken on.
 It is time for the brotherhoods tC take a hand in protecting themselves and with the aid of the railroads anC such federal assistance as is beine given the situation ought to be cleared up In a short time. Improved condi lions are to be noted over a wide ter riiory and should spread rapidly.

CUT WHERE POSSIBLE.

While efforts are being made in congress to keep down unnecessary appropriations and to practice econ omy wherever it is possible in order that government expenses may be re- dueed and the demands on the treas ary and therefore on the taxpayers may be relieved, it cannot fail to be appreciated that the plan for the do- ing away with the sub treasuries lo- cated ill eight of the leading cities of the country is well founded.
 The conference between the house and senate committee regarding the appropriation which provides for the continuance of such Institutions d
 closes the sentiment to be against the retention of the sub treasuries. The fact is that conditions have changed and where they were necessary when established and up to the time when the present federal reserve bankine system was put into operation would have permitted of no thought looking toward their elimination, the case is different today.
 Under the present system it is no1 only possible but the logical thine SDOul( take over the work done by the sub. treasuries. Even though they may no overlap completely the one should wei cover the other and in this way bring about a reduction in the expenses nov | required to keep the two in operation Too often is the idea carried tha just because this or that thing is don or maintained by the government i ought to be continued regardless O ! the expense. That is too well empha sized by the army of war workers be l ing maintained in Washington a yea

Stories That Recall Others
Home Information.

At a recent test for candidates who were aspiring for tenderfoot rank in a Boy Scout troop, one of the ques- tions asked was whether there had been more than 13 stripes in the flag. One little fellow studie1 long and ear nestly before he wrote his answer and then something-possibly visions of home-prompted him to write this answer:
 "There never were any more than 13 stripes in a United States flag, but there did use to be something very different in the corner of the flag and I feel sure it was a jack pot

OUR MERCHANT MARINE.

New emphasis has been given this week by Admiral Benson, the new head of the shipping board to the me- cessitv of getting a shipping policy, established. The country has gone in to shipbuilding on an extensive scale. The need for ships. ships and more ships has been responded to to the tune of more than 2O00 and a tonnage of nearly twelve million. We have long been clamoring for a merchant marine and now that we have it the question before the country is how to retain it.
 There is no question but what Ad- miral Benson is right when he de- clares that these ships should be in the hands of private capital. That is where the best service can be secured but for the country's protection. that these ships may be available if thay are ever needed again for transport service, they should be in the hands of Americans and fly the American flag.
 Private rather than government ownership is preferable but it may not be possible to accomplish that wisely and without great sacrifice fir short period of time, while it is no- to be overlooked that there are pro. visions in our seamen's law whicl make the operating of America ships far less attractive.
 In this connection interest canno Tail to attach to the tentative plan for a shipping bill in the senate whicI provides for a permanent shipnin, board and the stimulation oe irteras Tn the merchant marine by exemptins snip owners from excess profits taxei Tor ten years on all derived from for elgn trade and ten years wouII als, he allowed for disposing of the ship to private capital. The board woul, be directed to give attention f., tn | development of new trade routes an, given possession of the piers, were houses. wharves and terminals ac. quired under war legislation.
 The suggested bill differs from tba | passed by the house but it manifest a regard for shipping needs and tn early establishment of shipp.nc pol icy. In each instance, however, seems to be agreed that having SC cured the ships we should take goo care to hold onto them and get tn greatest possible benefit from them.

COAST GUARD SERVICE.

What an important service is rem dered by the coast guard is well dis closed by the bringing in of the dis Rbled steamer Mystic which suffered fem boiler trouble 400 miles at sea and was unable to help itself. Being equipped so that it was able to com n.unicate with land it was not long in letting it's plight become known and disclosing it's location. And that done it was but a brief time before the coast guard cutter Ossippee was on its way for the job of getting it to a harbor where repairs could be.
 This is of course only one of the rslany instances of the service that is rendered by the coast guard. In many instances conditions have been fa1 worse for the Mystic was not leaking and had plenty of water, provisions and fuel but was crippled in a vital Fpot-

Sunday Morning Talk
The Call of Jesus.

Who can measure the pay that must have filled the hearts of blind Bartimaeus, when, in answer to his repeated appeals for the healing mer- cy of Jesus, it was said to him, Be of good comfort; rise He calleth thee"
 The call of Jesus meant for him sight instead of blindness; it gave as surance that his darkness would be changed into light; it promised a life so changed that it might properly be called new life.
 Jesus is ever calling to those who are in need, bidding them receive at His hands the blessing that shall change their sorrow into joy. their darkness into light, their poverty into riches, their ignorance into knowl- edge, their weakness into strength their insufficiency into completeness
 In many ways does the call Of Jesus come into human lives. Cody parents consecrated pastors, earnest Christian friends, are often Christ's ambassa- dors to summon to the Saviour those who are in need of His forgiVing mer- cy.
 There are many other voices call ing to the soul beside the voice of Jesus, there are siren voices which are turing men and women to the shipwreck of their lives and the de- struction of their souls. Vain pleas ures, the lust of gain, inordinate am bition, these are some of the voices which are sounding in the ears of hu- manity and which often threaten tC drown the voice of the Master. Very insistent at times are the appeals tha are made to pride and prejudice anC fear, and too often the sweet and ten. | der voice of the Saviour is lost upoI human ears. The call of Jesus is thu supreme opportunity which can com, to any human life. It marked tn, crisis in the life of blind Bartimaeus It has marked the decisive point il the eternal destiny of an innumera l ble multitude, who having heard tn, Masters call, have responded to i 1 gladly, and in so doing have found l peace and roet.
 There are varied hindrances whicl | oftimes oppose us as we strive to heet l the call of Jesus temptations presen 1 themselves, and at times there seem | to be insuparable obstacles agains
 our coming to Jesus. Yet if we hay, | faith, if only as a grain of mustart
 seed, we shall overcome these hind
 rances, and shall find ourselves walk | ing in the way that leadeth unto If
 everlasting.
 | Having heard the call of Jesus our
 selves it becomes our imperative dut l to bring others within the sound o
 that voice which has brought peac l and joy into our own souls Chris tianity is a missionary religion, an
 our duty as disciples of Christ is no fully performed until we have don all within our power to bring the ca
 of Jesus to the knowledge of ever
 living creature.

JACQUES KICKER.

The famoue Necker. M. Jacques Necker, financial minister to Louis XVI, died On this date in 1894. He was born in 1734. at Geneva, Switz- erland. As director general of the finances of France fast sloping to bankruptcy, he published in 1781, his "Compte Rendu," the first public ex- position of the revenue and expenses of the state Maurepas. fearful of the dissensions among the nobility caused by Necker's reforms, forced him to resign. In 178S he was re- called, for Louis XVI. alarmed by the popular demands to dismiss foreign troops, sent for his able Minister But Necker, having lost his influence with the weak-minded king, and with the vain Marie Antoinette, retired to Switzerland in 179o. He saved his neck from the guil1otine by this move At his death he was 72 years old.
