THREE TRANSPORTATION BRANCHES. Any thoroughly satisfactory de- velopment of transportation facili- ties a d systems in this country must now include the railroads, ways and the motor trucks. No one or two of these elements can wisely be developed to the exclusion of the other. During the recent auto truck show in Chicago the use of the motor truck in rural hauling was particular- ly more discussed. Towa has tried it out stematically and widely than perhaps any other state of that sec- tion, and has found it very succ: the essful in cheapening distribution of food. Although the motor truck has been freight gestion on the railroads in long hauls, effective in relieving con- its chief usefulness appears to lie in the shorter hauls which are so costly when made by rail. It effectively con- nects the small town and even the in- with the city or railroad. One the hauling of 5. dividual farm bir nearest test trip made in lowa wi: ,000 pounds of eggs from a small town to Des Moines, a The trip took three hours and 20 minutes, and distance of about 38 miles. the actual cost per 100 pounds for freight and cartage was 36 cents. The of transportation lines should be brought all-round development about as quickly and naturally as possible, with no quarrelling jealousy among the various branches. Close and umong them and the fullest possible harmony co-operation use of cach will be of as great bene- fit-to the hauling systems as to the producers and consumers who seem to need it most. ——— RELICS OF LOST HEROES.

(From the Washington Post.) There is a passing uneasiness in the public mind in the United States ‘ways. The war has shaken indivi- duals out of ther former easy habits, of thinking—or not thinking—and the acquisition of knowledge is prov- ing acutely painful to many kinds of brains. Some of them are unequal to the strain of absorbing truth. They are turning sour, pessimistic or Bolshevist, according to the tempera- One type of mind that seems to be increasing in numbers is that which would throw away all of the good that has been ment of the individual. acquired through a century of effort, to embrace notions that cannot stand 10 minutes of quiet analysis. This kind of hair-trigger American is re- ‘volving now in the chaotic state of affairs, hoping overturn in which he to see a complete will stand a chance of grabbing some advantage which he cannot hope to acquire in honest competition with his fellows. The fault, with the shallow-pated or the merely of the strongest business men in the country however, does not lie unripe intellects. Some are behaving as though their brains had deserted them. Instead of con- the that are presented and quietly con- centrating upon new problems ferring upon ways and. means to co- operate on a sensible course of ac- tion, they are throwing fufel upon the Bolshevik bonfires by acts. ill-considered Others have into their shells, refusing to speech and unwis drawn loosen their minds or their pocket- books for the sake of keeping the They excuse this by asserting wheels — turning. turtle-like maneuver that ‘‘no one knows what is coming.” and “we must wait to see what the peace conference will do,” or similar nonsense.

It is sufficient. however, for the ordinary American if he will but stop to think that he and his fate are bound up in the fate of the country.

WIDOW 1S NOTIFIED TO COLLECT INSURANCE BUT LETTERS FOLLOW Another illustration of some of the peculiar workings of the war de-| partment at Washington came to iight at the capitol last week. Sev- eral weeks ago notice was received that Lieutenant Burton S. Hill, well known resident of Buffalo, Wyo., had | been killed in action last October and that his parents were now en- titled to receive the $10,000 which he had taken out in war risk insur- ance. Lieutenant Hill’s mother is in California, and is in poor health, and friends of the family, fearing» that such a notice might prove too much of a shock to her, did not for- ward it west. This week letters from the lieutenant were received at the state house, and they were dated January 23, 1919. As in the famous Mark Twain case, the reports of his! death were “greatly exaggerated.” » WYOMING FIRST STATE TO PROWDE FUND FOR WIC POREINE eq MNFRS It now appears that Wyoming was the first western state to make an approfriation for the welcoming of its soldiers back to America. The Hotel Gazette, a New York magazine, | comments as follows on the action ;of the legislature in setting aside $10,000 for the homecoming: “It is expected that other states will not be slow to join Wyoming in doing immediately this great duty to the men who saved the world from Prussianism.
