AS THE EDITOR SEES 1T.

Experts are telling US that the coun-
try will be short of coal this winter.
because the mining companies can not
get freight cars enough for shipping
the coal to the distributing points
Go into any big railroad yard in the
country and you viii see thousands and
thousands of cars standing on side
tracks waiting to be unloaded. In
numerous cases they have been stand
ing many days, possibly weeks, yet no
apparent attempt is being made to I'M
load them. Even in small towns YOU
viii find cars standing day after day.
This condition is one great cause for
the shortage in rail transportation. 1t
is the reason why many people will
freeze next winter if coal is not moved
more rapidly.
1t would be an easy matter TO cor
rect this disquieting condition Of af-
fairs.
The government could take one great
railroad center as an example.
1t could send secret service opera
tives 10 that city to check ND on the
idle cars, and the cause for such idle
ness. An explanation could be de-
manded of the railroad company.
If the company could not give le-
Ultimate reason. the officials should
be punished-jailed if possible.
If not the fault of the company. and
the consignee is responsible, he should
be punished-jailed if possible.
And if the government officials
whose duty it is to prosecute such Of
tenders show an inclination TO delay
or evade the issue because some
prominent people" are involved, the
president should remove them from Of
fee and otherwise punish them-jail
the Sinking prosecutors, if possible
One such shakeup as an example
would be sufficient. Cars would begin
to move everywhere, and would keep
moving.
And the people could keep warm
next winter-which is doubtful under
present conditions.

DON'T KICK YOUR TOWN

There is no better evidence of a COM
mendable community spirit than that
Of loyalty to town in which person
lives.
If a town is worth living in it is
worth defending and supporting in it's
efforts to advance with the rest of the
world
Yet in almost every community you
viii find people who can see nothing
good in their surroundings.
They cannot recognize the fact that
though it may be humble, it yet is
home-that it has clothed them, and
fed them and cared far them in sick
ness and in health, and has furnished
them friends who have been steadfast
and true
They magnify it's imperfections and
spread clouds wherever they go.
They often make life miserable for
others and invariably make it a re-
proach to themselves.
But there is brighter side to this
story.
The abuse these short sighted peo-
pie heap upon their place of abode
generally falls on unsympathetic ears.
Their neighbors and friends know
them as they areas people who
might have been valuable citizens cap
able of constructive work, but whose
dispositions have been warped in
younger days, possibly through no
particular fault Of their own.
Their criticisms are listened to with
good natured patience, but are forgot
ten about as soon as uttered.
The views of the chronic kicker and
fault finder have less weight than
those of any other adult element of the
human race.
When he thinks he. is kicking his
town he generally finds that he is kick
ing himself instead

More Sugar for You

People who have soft-pedaled the
sugar bowl for six years may be in
terested in the statement that crop
conditions on July 1, promised an in
crease in next falls sugar production
in the United States; an increase
amounting to, approximately, 5000
tons, or enough to load a train of
freight cars 20 or 75 miles long, al
lowing 40 tons per car. This prespec-
tive crop is equal to more than p
pounds of sugar for every man, wo-
man, and child within the United
States, and the increase over last year
equals more than six pounds per per-
son.

LIGHT TN THE PHILIPPINES
American Plan of Education Already
Is Producing Results of Great
Practical Value.

The schools in the Philippines are
probably brought closer to the peo-
pie there than in any other country
in The world. One of the govern
ment's handbooks on the schools ex-
plains that this is due to the fact
that work has had to be done "and
NO other organization has been so
well equipped to undertake it," This
document adds: Through its gar
dens, farms and food campaigns the
agricultural interests have been
aided. Children have been turned
out to fight the locusts. Assistance
has been given to the bureau of
health in many instances 10y the in
formation concerning health and
epidemics. The schools, in conjunc-
ton with the bureau of health, I'M
dertook several years ago the train
ing of Filipino girls as nurses. Aid
has been given to the bureau of posts
in popularining its postal savings
bank and in other ways. For sew
eral years the schools have been do
ing pioneer work in a public welfare
movement. Through its library, its
literary societies. and its entertain
ments, the sckoolhouse has become
the social center of the community"

Something Worth Remembering on the
Next Camping Expedition
You May Take.

'Take the stalk Of any Of the COM
mon milkweeds and break it, and
you will find that the outer bark
does not break and may be stripped
of into silkenlike threads, which
can be twisted together and used as
thread with which to sew ditty bags,
knife scabbards, etc." says Dan
Beard, boy scout chief, in his depart
ment in Boys Life.
mo one showed the chief how to
use the milkweed that is, no human
being showed him, but there is lit
tie orange and black Moderator
who builds its nest Of string and
yarn, when he can find it, in the
shade trees of the village streets, but
in the wilderness, like the rest of us,
he must use material he finds in the
woods, and it is there that the chief
discovered that that the Baltimore oriole
was using milkweed fbers with
which to build its hanging nest.
"The chief also discovered that
the vireo was using the inner bark
Of the chestnut with which to make
its cup-shaped nest, and the chief
Immediately began to experiment
with the inner bark of the chestnut,
and with it he made rope the size
of an ordinary clothesline, which
could support him without danger
of breaking, and ever since then he
has used this bark for string or rope
wherever chestnut trees were handy.
"Not only are these things good
with which to sew and with which
to do up bundles, as was pointed out
to you readers in the chiefs story of
the Rest Cure but one may also
use them for ropes with which to
bind together the logs of raft, for
a boat or canoe, or as material with
which to braid a belt, or as fiber to
be used as raffia in basket making"
