ECONOMY AND THE USE OF
POWER

The Forthcoming development on
large scale of the Nations vast water
power resources, must be considered
one of the most significant achieve
ments in the field of American indus
try in the most postwar Industrial
establishment. The increased costs
of fuel and the diminishing supplies
of our fuel reserves necessitate what
the Federal Reserve Board believes
to be 'much more energetic action II
inductrial conditions are to be made
safe for the coming winter" Water
power is about to have new certl-
ficate as national asset, and the
United States is going to make
late start in the utilizing OF this
means of affecting a saving in the
manner of producing its energy, which
it is confidently predicted can be ac-
complished to the extent of one bill
lion dollars a. year.

PUBLIC UTILITY RELATIONS
IMPROVED

There are strong indications that
there has been better feeling es-
tablished between the various public
utilities and the communities which
they serve. Primarily this is due
to the deep-seated sense of justice
that exists nthe hearts of the Amer
lean people, whose common-sense told
them that the universal change in
industrial and economic conditions
could not overlook the public utilities
in the readjustment.
In furtherance of this conviction the
appointment of the Federal Electric
Railways Commission by the Presi-
dent, and the report which the latter.
presented, served the purpose of es-
tablishing a basis for the considera-
ton of street railway fares and
changes in franchise conditions in diff
ferent parts of the United States. AL
ready most of the street railways Of
the country have been absolved from
the necessity of doing business on the
five cent fare. The politicians who
sought to make capital out of the up
set relations between communities
and their street railways have been
met by a public apparently willing to
face the new conditions in transporta-
ton. The street railway manage

MADISON, WIS.-One highly i'm
-portant provision made by the last
Legislature to aid in graduating tu-
berculosis from among the cattle of
the state, has not been taken advan-
tgae OF as fully as it might well
have been the State Department of
Agriculture reports. 1t is the pro-
vision which authorizes the testing
Of cattle by the state in cheese fac
tory or creamery groups, mad groups
made up of farmers associations.
Under this provision if there are $50
head and less than 800 head in any
group the state department of agri-
culture will be at half the expense
of testing. 1t there are 300 head or
more in any group the department TO
agriculture will be at the total eX-
pense of testing. The state depart
men Of agriculture is surprised that
more factory groups especially do
not take advantage of this, inasmuch
as an official statement from any fac
tory that it's cheese or butter was
from herds absolutely free of tu-
berculosis would be big advertise
ment for the product.

ROAD WORK NEEDED.

We have been told that a number
of the road patrolmen on the county
system of highways were taken off
the job on November 1st, and that
from this time on the roads will have
no patrol work done upon them. This
we believe is mistake. With the
fall rains coming the roads will rut
badly and unless they are smoothed
down before the fall frost comes will
be in poor shape to stand the spring
thaw and the spring rains.
The small sum thatcit would cost
to continue the road patrol work from
this time until the roads freeze would
amount to but little and would more
than pay the work done in the condi-
ton of the roads for next spring.

AMERICANS ABROAD
IN RED CROSS WORK
United States Citizens Far Away
Enthusiastic Members OF the
"Fourteenth" Division.

Among the most enthusiastic and
energetic members of the American
Red Cross are those citizens OF the
United, States who live outside the
continental boundaries Of their county
sons and daughters Of the Stars and
Stripes residing at the far corners OF
the earth.
These people compose the Insular
and Foreign Division Of the parent or
ganization, generally known as the
Fourteenth Division, which has
jurisdiction of all territory outside
the country proper; that is, Alaska,
Porto Rico, Hawaii, Virgin Islands, the
Philippines, Guam, and even the is
land of zap, which came under our
flag as result of the world war. For
the year 1920 this division reported
30,80S paid up members.
The main object of this division Is
to give our citizens everywhere the OPP
portunity to participate in the work
Of the organization which stands for
the best national ideals. Americans
in far places intensely loyal and pa
triotic, treasure their membership in
the Red Cross as the outward ex-
preston of their citizenship. 1t Is an
other tie to the homeland and to
each ctler. There are chapters OF
this division In Argentine, Bolivia,
Brazil, Canal zone. Chile, China, Costa
RIGA, Cuba, Dominican Republic,
Ecuador, England, France, Guam,
Guatemala, Haiti, Hawaii, Honduras,
Japan, Manchuria, Netherlands, Mica
ragua, Paraguay, Peru. Philippines,
Porto Rico, Siberia, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland, Syria, Turkey, Uruguay,
Venezuela and Virgin Islands
During the war these scattered
members Of the Red Cross contrib
uted millions in money, and millions
of dollars worth Of necessary articles
for the men in service, and sent many
doctors and nurses to France. At the
same time they carried on an excel
lent Home Service in their respective
communities for the families OF these
who had gone to war, and In some re-
gions gave large sums of money ana
unreasonable personal service to the
relief of disaster and disease victims.
The division is now establishing
service clubs in foreign ports for the
benefit Of sailors In the American Mer-
chant Marine, making plans to aid
Americans in trouble In foreign lands
and completing arrangements for Civ
ing immediate adequate relief in case
Of disaster.
It is the Fourteenth Divisions part

The adoption Of national prohibit
ton in the United States has been
characterized by foreign observer
as "the greatest national moral ven
ture since Israel crossed from Egypt
or the Pilgrims came to Plymouth"
Even after a comparatively short
period of trial, many results of this
great venture are beginning to be APP
parent. They have properly been
discussed from various points of view
on your program. This great World
Congress, comprising delegates from
many of the nations in both hemi-
spheres, has observed at close range
and studied with trained intelligence
this first example in history OF the
complete Punishment of the booze
business by a governing demo-
cracy.
But the economic benefits are not
the most important effects of prohibit
w
VACANT expenditure may cause incon-
venience, but in country with vast
resources. like ours they do not in
themselves seriously threaten ma
tional welfare. The third great con-
tribution of prohibition to the good
of the nation is found in startling
falling off in crime with it's attendant
misery for innocent families and its
great cost to organized society. In
spite of the handicaps, like hostile
local sentiment and imperfect en-
forcement in some localities, the testi-
mony on this point is universal and
amazing.

efficiency at the lowest cost, under
public supervision and control broad
enough to safeguard the public inter-
est and to protect the investors, while
at the same time preserving a condi-
ton guaranteeing power wages to
employees, and recognizing the right
of the men to deal collectively with
their employers, have furnished a
method of action that mas eased the
way towards reconstruc5ing public
relations with reference to the utili-
ties.

as a probable contender for the
National League pennant when the
season opened, has gone ahead
without much to worry about and
has landed his team on top, the
second time he has turned the trick
since he signed to manage the club
after John McGraw let him get
away from the Giants. Robbie
led his team to a National League
pennant IN 1916 and, although he
didn't cover himself with any great
amount of glory in the worius S
series with the Red Sox that fo,-
lowed, he earned so much respect
for himself that numerous club
owners have sought to devise means
by which he can pried loose from
Charles Ebbets' payroll.

old Baltimore school of ballplayers.
He was member Of the famous
old Orioles when they were go

themselves practically cut OIL ,ne

McGraw, manager of the Giants,
and Hugh Jennings, manager of
the Tigers, are other survivors of
that famous old team who are
managing big league ball clubs
now.
Robbie was born near Hudson,
Mass, and it was in that section
that he learned the rudiments of
baseball and put them into prac-
tise. From the sand lots of New
England he broke into profession
al baseball via the Haverhill club

made by State Health Commission
Ter A. w. Freeman, addressing

He said the tendency to special

of physicians in rural districts,
young doctors going to the cities
where they believe their chances
for professional and financial sue
cess are greater. DR.. Freeman said
that the physician has lost per-
