WOODEN MARINE
MUST De JUNKED
By ]. FREDERICK RICHARDSON

SAN FRANCISCO.--The Ameri-
can people might just as we'll be
told the truth. They may just as
well face the unpleasant inevitable
The wooden fleet of the Merchant
Marine must be junked. 1t is i'm
practicable, sUper-expensive, and
must be written off as a war-loss
and forgotten.
This is the opinion expressed to-
day by Major John E. Gushing, for
mer Director of Operations of the
United States shipping board.
Some of the wooden ships could
be used as light ships along the
Alaskan coast. the Hawaiian coast,
and our nearer Shores" says Major
Cushing
"Others might be converted into
barges for the use of the navy.
Some use may be found for 4 few
more, but in my opinion the wooden
ships we built served their purpose
in taking the effectiveness out of
the German submarine campaign
and must be salvaged for the value
of the machinery and junk On them,
aud broken up" And many other
mNrIne authorities to whom I have
talked say the same thing.
| So, apparently, the people must
face the fact that about two billion
dollars Of their money must go to
the scrap heap-practically total
| less.
IN the opinion of practical ship
ping men on this coast, the cost OF
upkeep for such of these wooden
s,oc ;r.I1A l. srr1,%
| ship uses would be no greater as
Il,Sht-ships than it is at present with
tho ships lying in the graveyard
in the va cts bays of the country.
| The depreciation, say shipping men,
| of the idle ship is from two to three
times as much as that of the Cper-
ated ship, SO to use some Of those
wooden ships as light-ships would re-
duce depreciation.
The wooden ships as they are, idle
| tonnage, are a menace to the opera
lions of the trade because they con-
stitute part of the worlds surplus
tonnage, and it is surplus tonnage
which has helped to create the stag
nation in ship traffic which is true
all over the world today.
"This wooden fleet" adds Major
Gushing, OFFERS a wonderful field
70 the man who will apply himself to
inc proDlen ana limo some praCt1cal
profitable use for these ships so they
will not be total loss"
But the fact remains the wooden
fleet is junk, in the opinion of the
Pacific coast shipping world, anG
must be forgotten as a part of the
war loss.
| Shipping men say the construction
of these ships is such as to unfit
them for trans-oceanic trade. Cargl
space Is too restricted The uSe ~
green timber causes Weaknesses
They have to be caul1ed too fire
quently. They will not make the
knotage. The type is impracticable
They are too expensive to operate
and consume too much fuel.

not one of roses.
Yang Tien-fuh was given the rank
of colonel in the Yunnan provincial
forces as part of his reward for re-
leasing the missionary and two 9th
ers that had been seized by his fol-
lowers. Recently, say the letters
to Shanghai, he petitioned the tuchun
of the province, asking that he be
permitted to remain in Yunnantu at
a time when he was expected to &C
company troops he commands to a

Mr.. Dodson Warns Against
Use of TreacherouS, DAN
ger0uS CaI0meI

Calomel salivates. It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a
sluggish liver. When calomel comes
into contact with sour bile it crashes
into it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get a bottle of
DOdson's Liver Tone for a few cents,
which is a harmless vegetable substi-
tute for dangerous caIomel. Take a
spoonful and if it doesn't start your
liver and straighten you up better
and quicker than nasty calomel and
go back and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; be
sides, it may sallvate you, while if
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full OF
ambition and ready for work Or play.
it's harmless, pleasant and safe to
giye to children; they like it.-(AdVt.)

want to be compelled to trade and ship
produce through any one agency, and
they are as frank as the spokesman
of the Bureau when they state that
they will not patronize the Farm Bu-
reau under present conditions.
Just why the Farm Bureau should
object to public marketing agent,
has not yet come to light. Just why
the Bureau should want another dem
onstrator for the county to pay, when
lit has already absorbed all the func-
| tons of the county demonstrator, at
| the expense of the general public, has
mot been disclosed.
The general public has watched
private concern, take over the demon-
strator entirely, use him for the profit
| of the stock holders, and what reason
lis there to expect that they will not
lcontrol future demonstrators.
The conservative element of the
county really believe that competent
demonstrator, entirely under the con-
Itrol of the Supervisors, will be of real
value to the county, but the experience
| of the public with government con-
ltrolled demonstrators has not been
such as to warrant another trial.
The Supervisors have been request
| ed by petition, to hold an election be-
lfore they employ another demonstra-
ltor. and this seems to be fair solu-
ton of the problem, as the people who
nay the bills. should be consulted be-
{ fore the sum of $4,000, for expert adj
vice is saddled on the county.
