' Traffic Director Says Pacific
Northwest Country Had
Good Crops and Satis
factory Prices.
Union Pacific men of the traffic and
advertising departments from the ter
ritory west of the Missouri river who
attended a meeting in Portland, Ore.,
liave returned, accompanied by B. L.
Winchell, director of traffic, who was
' in the Pacific coast country at the
time.
All over, the country tributary to
the western lines conditions were re
ported as satisfactory. Crops have
been good during the last season and
prices have been at a high standard.
Ihrough the facmc nortnwest
country, according to Mr. (Winchell,
the freieht car shortage has Deen ten
to about the same extent as else
where, due to the fact that the rail
roads have been called upon to sup
ply the government with such enor
mous quantities of equipment to han
dle soldiers and supplies.
Have Community Warehouses.
In the sound country of the Pa
cific coast region farmers, communi
ties, individuals and firms have de
veloped an idea for the storage of
grains and produce in cases where
facilities are not available for moving
out. In many places in thickly set
tled portions of the country commu
nity storehouses have been con
structed, some under and some above
ground. Into these farmers put their
potatoes, vegetables and apples, keep
ing tbem cool and in good condition
until such time as cars are available
for making shipments.
In the cities and in many- of the
email towns storage facilities have
been provided by firms and individu
als and in this way the surplus is
taken care of until it can be sent
- on to market.
After the adjournment of the Port
land convention the members of the
Union Pacific family made a tour to
American lake, midway between Se
attle and Tacoma, where the soldiers
of the Sixteenth division, including
those from Washington, Montana,
Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, California,
Nevada and Utah, are in training. The
camp is an ideal one, right in the
heart of a great pine forest and near
the east shore of Puget sound.

" - Big Money for Leaders
Over 200 Franklin men throughout
'the country, are taking part for -the
two weeks beginning November1 26
in the extensive competitive publicity
ettort having a purse of $2,600 at
stake. The winner of this event, the
show-thc-car contest, will be the
dealer or salesman who gives a six
mile ride in the Franklin car to the
greatest number oS important passen
gers. ' - .,'..1 .,' . ;
The purse will be shared in by the
20 men with the; highest i scores, the
individual prizes ranging from $500 to
?S0. The man with the 13th highest
score can consider himself lucky, as
tin', position bears a special prize of
S150,
A unique feature of this contest Is
that it reverses the obligation at
tached to the usual demonstration, in.
asmuch as the passenger, instead of
being a "prospect" is simply a par
ticipant in what the Franklin com
pany regards as the equivalent of a
ration-wide sampling campaign. t '.

Brunner Judgment Against
Insurance Company Confirmed
Attorneys for the T. T. Brunner
Jewelry Company, whose vault In the
Brandeis building was blown open and
$3,400 worth of watches and jewelry1
stolen one Sunday afternoon some
months ago, has received a confirma
tion from state supreme court'of its
judgment against the Fidelity and
Casualty Insurance company for
$4,200.
The burglars opened the ' outer
doors of the vault by manipulation of
the combination and blew open the
inner doors with nitroglycerin. The
insurance company contended thSt
their policy did not cover the burg
lary because the outer doors wfcre
opened by working the combination.
James C. Kinsler, attorney for the'
jelery company, contended that 'the
policy covered burglary losses jn
cases where "tools or explosives" had
been used in any way in opening the
vault. The judgment includes $800
attorneys' fees.

Temperance and Prohibition
In this time of war, when every national energy -is directed tQ
thoughts of national protection, it is inevitable that the country should
be confronted with the problem of Intemperance. It is more insistently
necessary, than ever before to recognize that it is a paramount public
duty to preserve the highest qualities of American" manhood unimpaired
by any form of Intemperance.
In the anxious, almost hysterical desire to do something first, and to
consider later its wisdom, there was much clamor for National Prohibition.
. Russia, aforetime the Land of Vodka and of Misery, and then the Land
pf Prohibition by Ukase, was cited as the Exemplar of man's readiness to
become abstinent -by Fiat ' ,
Russia today, in her riot of License and Anarchy, is the Exemplar of
the swing of the human pendulum to violent extremes.
Life, as Men in their ignorance seek to make it, is a pendulum, swing
ing forever to extremes. Life, as Wisdom knows it, avoids all excesses.
Life's pendulum cannot hold fast at either extreme. .
Prohibition is the pendulum's extreme swing from Intemperance.,
In steady equilibrium stands TEMPERANCE, moderating the extremes
of both madnesses. ,
Prohibition makes abstainers only of those who WILL to abstain,
and more eager drunkards of those who WILL to be drunken.
True Temperance makes no abstainers by coercion and encourages
no drunkards. ."No nation is drunken where wine is cheap," wrote Thomas
Jefferson out of vhis wisdom and knowledge, "and none sober where the
dearness of wine substitutes ardent spirits as the common beverage."
Thus he enunciated a Universal Principle. Whether we say wine or
beer with less than one-third the alcoholic content of winethe Principle
is the same and is known to the Experience of the Ages.
This Principle is now firmly fixed in our Federal Jaws
produce a more truly NATIONAL TEMPERANCE than the
of Prohibition.

gency measure.

advised that under the terms of a new
agreement all roads entering Chicago
make reports daily through their
traffic departments to the local food
administrator there. These reports

load of food and vegetables that has
been delated three days or longer,
either awaiting unloading or recon
signment. Whenever foodstuffs or vegetables
are found to be damaged by frost or
otherwise, or being- unduly held, the
consignments are assembled and in
spected. AH that is unfit for human
consumption is hauled away and
dumped.. All stuff fit for human use

Doctor says Nuxated Iron is greatest of all strength builders

BOSTOX, MASS. Not long ago a man
came to me Who was nearly half a century
old and asked me to give him a preliminary
examination for life insurance. I was as
tonished to find him with the blood pres
sure of a boy of 20 and fa full of vigor,
vim and vitality as a young man; in fact a
young man he really was notwithstanding
his age. The secret he said was taking iron
nuxated iron had filled him with renewed
life. At SO be was in bad health: at 46 he
was careworn and nearly all in. ' Now at 50
after taking Nuxated Iron a miracle of vi
tality and his face beaming with buoy
ancy of youth. As I have said a hundred
times over, iron is the greatest of all
strength builders. If people would only take
Nuxated Iron when they feel weak or run
down, instead of , dosing themselves with
habit-forming drugs, stimulants and alco
holic beverages I am convinced that in this
way they could ward off disease, prevent
ing it becoming organic in thousands of
cases and thereby the lives of thousands
might be saved who now die every year
from pneumonia, grippe, kidney, liver, heart
trouble and other dangerous maladies. The
real and true cause which started their dis
ease was nothing more nor less than a
weakened condition brought on' by lack of
iron in the blood. Iron is absolutely neces
sary to enable your blood to change food
into living -tissue. Without it, no matter
how much or what you eat, your food
nferely passes through you without dointr
you any good. You don't get the strength
out of it and as a consequence you become
