SHIPPING PROBLEM

During the war the building and
operation of ships was purely a mill
tary matter. We had to build the
ships, no; matter; what they cost, anc
there was military use for all the
ships we could get, and more thar
that. With the cessation of the wal
the probiemrhas become purely COM
mercial. The only question of any
consequence. is whether we, can FIND
remunerativc employment for the
ships, and whether,rwe.,can meet for
eign competition.
The economic aspects of the mat
ter are persistently ignored by per-
sons who clamor for a great Amcri-
can merchant marine, and who
imagine that in some way the sentl-
ment of patriotism is involved. The
reasons we as nation retired from
the. shipping business are constantly
ignored, and. the history of our mer-
chant shipping is habitually misrep-
resented.
We left the over 60 wears age
because our enormous domain, great.

and the application of steam to lane
transportation, enabled US to get big
ger wages and higher returns or
capital ashore than the sea afforded

CHARITY NOW
FOR ONLY E
The High Cost OF Living Reduces
Weekly Provisions For Poor
Families OF Trinity Parish.

NEW YORK, Mar. eighteen
poor families of Trinity Parish used to
be provided for in the weekly Leake
'dole of bread" distributed from the
Parish house of st. Luke's chapel. To-
day the high cost of living allows for
the charity to only ten. At the same
time prosperity has reached out into
more homes, and there is less need for
it. Only six stability dressed little boys
and girls, children of the Parish's
most deserving poor" asked for it
last Saturday.
The advent OF March will have seen
the dole's "Wheaten ~loaves" distribu-
ted 6,633 consecutive weeks in the 1913
years of its existence. 1t was provid-
ed for in John Leaks will of Colonial
days. Four to six loaves go to each
family.
Mrs. Margaret J.. Tunstall, parish
visitor, distributed the Leake dole.
She has been doing it for Is years.
She received the children, inquired the
number of mouths to be fed in each
family and wrapped the bread up. St.
Luke's chapel parish house has been
the scene of the dole for three or four
years now. Before that it was given
at st. Johns Chapel. Originally it's
home was Trinity Church, where the
poor had to apply for it at the alter
after the Sunday service.
John Leake, a wealthy New Yorker
of Revolutionary days provided for
the dole, which the Encyclopaedia Bri-
%tannica calls the "best known dole in
the United States" A portion of his
will said:
81 hereby give and bequeath to the
rector and ~vestrymen of Trinity Par
ish, New York City, N. Y, 1000
pounds put out at interest, to be laid
out in the annual income in six penny
wheaton loaves of bread and distribu-
ted to such poor as shall appear most

ty agents for Utah and chairman OF

According to Prof. owen the whole
exhibit will have to do with the
work Of the extension division Of the
college. The central idea will be to
show what service the extension d.
vision is rendering the state. TO do
this the state and county farm bur
eaus, the county commissioners. the
county agents, home demonstrators,
and boys and girls club leaders are
all cooperst.;-S.
The college building has been re-
modelled and will be specially ar
range to give the exhibits planned
most prominence The entire build
ing now forms one large room. In
the center Of this hall will be con-
structed replica of the main build
ing Of the college. From the tower
of this building ribbons will resch
to the various booths aorund the hall
where each county viii have spe-
cial exhibit. From the tower also
ribbons will lead to a painting of
the capitol at Washington which will
be placed on the north wall Of the
hall. The idea is to show that the
Utah Agricultural College is the ag-
ricultural center OF the state, that It
acts as the distributing agent for
the the United States Department OF
Agriculture and represents the farm
ers in all dealings with Washington.
The plan Is to have all exhibits
full Of action Demonstrations will
be staged in connection with all dis
plays. The extension workers Of the
college will be on hand constantly
during fair week to explain exhibits
and answer questions concerning the
displays or any phase of the work OF
