TRUCKING A coUNrRY's COMMERCE

The council Of national defence
plans to organize motor truck trans
portation lines If a railroad strike
should tie up the railroads. Nearly
5O.o00 government owned trucks are
available the secretary stated and he
asserted that there are 1000, 900 prt-
vately owned trucks which could be
modified. This. he said, would en-
able the country ito face with a de-
gree OF equanimity almost any tenn
porary failure Of the railway sys-
TENS"
Thus is another instance OF loud
promise without much possibility Of
performance. To mobilize the 1000, .
600 trucks privately owned would be
monetrous task and except in the
dire emergency Of war time practi-
cally beyond possibility. Some Of
them Of course could be modified,
probably a very considerable num-
Der but the motor trucks Of the coun-
Try can not supply the transportation
needs Of tho country 70 such q de-
sr.e as 70 make for "equanimity."
Perhaps In tho states and near tho
large cities where hard roads obtain
the necessities might b. largely sup
piled but immagine Iowa supplying
coal and merchandise and necessary
supplies By truck transportation. II
could DO something Of course but the
enuanimity that would obtain might
be put in Mr.. secretary's eye.
The discussion and ths effort
should concentrate on the vital point
that the railroads must run and
serve; that railroad strikes which
threaten tho very existence Of the
public and its Industries must be for
hidden and the command enforced.
Perha ps while the matter was being
fought out we should have to haul
with motor trucks and go to the
country Tor food supplies In sucn
states as Iowa and the larger cities
would have to depend on operation Of
the roads as best possible and the
service Of trucks and there would be
suffering among Us but there 10 SUI
fering in all strikes and this would b
the strike Of the public for it's own
rights.
We shall do the best we may with

Few of as escape neasles-it
is one of the commonest of child
hood diseases. Every mother
knows the symptoms, but the
mistake that most mothers make
is in failing to realize that the
child Is not fully recovered after
the eruption and fever disappear
The air passages are still inhamed
and If this inflammation Is not
cleared up, the air passages may
be weakened, thus paving the
way for pneumonia or serious
disease Of the lungs.
Nightly applications Of Wick
VapoRub will aid nature in
relieving this inflammation. Be-
cause Vicks acts locally by slim
ulation thru the s.in to draw
out the inflammation, attract the
blood away from the conGested
spots and relieve the cough. In
addition, the medicinal ingre-
dents OF Vicks are vaporized by
the body heat. These vapors
arc breathed in ali night long.

/. Can cows eat poison Ivy with
out III effect?
The COWS will eat the leaves OF the
burdock and the singing nettles oil
the woods. But what can not a
cows tongue stand? She will crop
the poison Ivy with impunity, and l
think would eat thistles If she found
them growing in the garden. Leeks
and garlics are readily eaten by cat
tie in the spring, and are said to be
medicinal to them.
2. In what peculiar way do
pigeons feed their young?
When tho mother pigeon feeds her
young she brings the food, not In her
beak like other birds. but In her
crop; she places her beak between
the open mandlbles of her young,
and fairly Grams the food. which is
delivered by peculiar pumping
movement, down it's throat. She
furnishes a capital illustration OF
the eager, persistent newsmonger.
3. Are weeds easily discouraged
Weeds have this virtue: they are
not easily discouraged; they never
lose heart entirely; they die game,
If they cannot have the best. they
will take up with the poorest; II
fortune Is unkind to them today,
they hope for better luck tomorrow;
If they cannot lord IT over a corn
hill. they will sit humbly at its foot
and accent what comes: in all cases
they make the most of their oppor-
tnnitieS.

RICHES AND PROMINENCE.

Tho Shonts' family trouble and
lawsuits are having another turn in
tho press dispatches by the alienation
suit brought by Mrs. Shonts against
Amanda c. Thomas. 1t is especially
interesting in Iowa and along the
line of the Iowa Central where Mr..
Shonts got his start as a great engi-
neer and organizer.
About all the difference between
the Shonts story and the common
stories OF separations and bitter fam
lily rows is the comparative promi-
hence and riches Of the parties so
Angp Ced and involved Sometimes
II is a fool husband who falls for
the siren stun and breaks with q
wife who has been n helpmate in
poverty and labor: some times a fool
woman who goes snobhishly crazy.
The Shonts row so It Is said, be-
gan when Mrs. Shonts insisted on
having an impoverished duke for a
SON n-law. Shonts opposed the match
between his daughter and the Due
de Chaulnes and objected to whole
sale purchases of ducal husbands for
his daughters. Then it appears that
trouble of the most serious sort be-
gan. And the family was disrupted
and hell was to pay.
II is hard TO stand prosperity,
hard on the family. Sometimes 1t is
calamity to grow rich and promi-
nent. Riches and prominence depend
on the community. To be first in a
little TDeTidn village Is as hard TO
bear as 10 be the first at Rome. 1t
demands hard sense and character
TO be rich and prominent and still
remain completely sane wheth-
er 1t is the Shonts family or the fam
lily that bought land low and sold il
high or made a lucky strike indus
trially or had its chance TO become
what the neighborhood considers rich
ana prominent In any way. One OF
the hardest things that come with
riches and prominence local or state
or national is to avoid playing the
fool in one or another way.
Shonts didn't get much except
prominence out Of his success. He
found himself pretty we'll alone. The
folks" weren't the folks" and home
wasn't home. Most Of us will sup
port his decision against buying
French dukes for the girls and wish
the old man might have had more
home and less prominence but II
seems that when he got old and lone
ly he went and played the fool also.
The chances are that if the Shonts'
had stayed in Iowa in some ordinary
position the family would have kept
together, the girls would have mar
ried the leading druggist or one OF
the bankers or a bright young farmer
or so on and that Old Mr.. and Mrs.
Shonts would have been acting fool
ish over their grandchildren and
coaxing them to come in and stay
over night at their house. And that's
a foolishness that nobody need criti-
else, for 1t isn't foolishness at all.
