an unique manner various officers
and members of organizations of the

speeches. Each told OF their willing
ness to assist in the progress and well
fare of the church. A splendid spirit
of good will and cooperation pre-
vailed, and a successful year is look
ed forward to by the members Of St.

A message with more jolt to it
than ever was given to a Minnesota
legislature was read this morning to
the house and senate by Theodore

The message was exceptionally
brief-only 1000 words-but in that
short space Gov. Christianson said
more than has been said by all other
governors in inaugural addresses in
generation.
He demanded economy and asked
reorganization of the state govern
ment, pointing out precisely how the
legislature can go about the job of
instituting the reforms he advocated.
Houses Meet Jointly
The inaugural ceremonies in house
chamber at a joint session of the
two legislative bodies were extremely
impressive. The big room was gor-
geously decorated for the occasion.
All available room was taken by the
throng which witnessed the program.
Hundreds of others jammed Railways
outside, unable to gain admittance.
The senate convened this morning
at 10 o'clock and the house a half
hour earlier. At IL a. m. they met
in joint session. Committees from
each body escorted Gov. J.. A. o.
Preus and the new executive down
the middle aisle, after senators had
marched in as body and taken seats
with the house members.

his injuries at the Office of DR..

dazed by his fall, he apparently suf-

DOOR TO DOOR BY RAILROAD
TRUCK

The management Of the Boston d
Maine Railroad plans to enter upon
a system of transportation Of mer-
chandise from the door Of the ship
per to the door of the consignee, said
to be the first experiment Of the kind
in this country. The effort at first
will be between Boston. Lowell and
Lawrence and if proved successful
will be extended. 1t is planned to
replace local freight trains with, mo-
tor buses. Carload shipments will
continue by rail.
The plan provides where possible
for contracting with existing truck
ing concerns. The future develop
ment will depend on the support CIV
en- by business. The purpose Is to
attract business for the railroad by
rendering the best Of service. 1t Is
believed it will serve to relieve con-
gestion at the terminals. 1t should
serve to reduce costs OF trucking
small loads with a greater number
Of vehicles and thus serve to reduce
congestion in the streets. A study
Of traffic conditions last year show
ed that the average load per vehicle
was but 1913 pounds, although some
Of these vehicles were Of ten tons ca
pacity. Here was great waste Of eff
fort and expense under conditions
requiring the minimum of waste and
cost. Whatever may be the results
obtained from this experiment it is
evident that methods OF transporta-
ton are bound to undergo radical
changes in the near future.
