—w� FILL THE CARS.
Business Men Are Urged to Co-oper-
ate 'With the Railways. •
A little more co-operation between
the merchants and the railways will
do much to relieve the present freight
situation. The railways are not try-
ing to shift the responsibility on to
the public, but are asking the public's
help. Much mare tonnage, for in-
stance, could be handled with the ex-
isting locomotive power and terminal
facilities if cars were loaded to rapa-
city instead of being so often only
two-thirds full. In the old days when
traffic w•as lighter, it mattered less to
the railways if a shipper did not use
all the space he paid for --that was th ,
shipper's loss. But now it is realized
that the extravagance of one shipper
may cause delay to others owing to
the limited amount of locomotive pow-
er and terminal facilities. The short-
age is not so much in equipment as
in train crews, and labor in the yards
and roundhouses. Anything which
can help to secure quicker clearance

help to solve the problem if in placing
orders consignees would order enough
to fill a car to capacity instead of the
minimum, which very often does not
represent more than half a carload.
The question of the capacity of cars'
is itself the subject of investigation.
The standard of leading grain, for in- I

HAVE A GARDEN! Give Yourself the Joy of Seeing the
"Green Things Grow.”
Farming is man' most natural,
most honorable calling.
Man was born in a garden.
Just where this garden was, the
theologians and the arehmologists and
the other sciehce mongers are not yet
' fully agreed. But of one thing we
are certain --it was out of doors!
And the "Golden Age" of the old
Greeks and Romans—that also was
an out-of-doors' experience—a life
close to Nature.
In that happy age every man sowed
and tilled and reaped.
Every man earned his bread by the
sweat of his, brow. And the exercise
and the sweat kept his blood clean.
If all mon and women were farmers
to -day, nine -tenths of the doctors
would haveto go oat of business.
The average farther lives fifteen
years longer than the average city
dweller.
The reason is obvious. The farmer
lives in the light and the air—pure air.
• City dwellers—the doctors, the law-
yers, the professors, the clerks, the
stenographers, the factory wor•kees—
live in the shade and breathe dust
germs.
We're all born as wild as was the
first baby or the latest savage.
But we are tamed in our "bringing
up" end the taming—called education
and civilization—spoils tis, inoculates
us with disease and infects us with
abnormal tastes and appetites. And
so we, some of us, grow up to be crip-
ples and perverts and wear ourselves
out prematurely with had habits and
death -inviting practices.
We are not only born wild but born
farmers. If we are not 'farmers, we
are wronged—we are robbed of our
birthright!
If you can't have a big farm, you
can have a little one, and get all the
primitive joy and boisterous health
and ravenous appetite and round di-
gestion, dreamless sleep and mental
poise anti peace and intellectual vim
and snap and endurance that comes
from living biologically,
Make a garden.. If you can't own
one, rent one. Get the loan of a \'s-
cant lot. Pre-emjrt a corner of unim-
proved public domain, Geta bit of
mother earth somewhere, some way,
"byhook or crook" --you're entitled to
it! It's your birthright. And make
it blossom with roses 05 potatoes or
cabbages, have a garden of your
own and "eat the fruit thereof."

MIDNIGHT IN A
GERMAN TRENCH
EXPERIENCE OF A 'i'YOENDED
BRITISH OLDIER.
s
The Glistening Eye That flaunted
Him During Long Hours of Pain
and Exhaustion.
An American who was recently per-
mitted to observe the arrival of Brit-
ish wounded in England, examine the
hospital ship on which they carne, and
later travel with some of them by hos-
' pital train, Miss Jane Anderson,
found the experience of deep and mov-
ing iptcrest, She has much to say of
the complete and often novel and in-
genious arrangements and devices for
their care and comfort; but what most
impressed her was the men them-
selves. No matter how wasted, crip-
pled and suffering, if they could -move
a muscle or lift an eyelash, they ar-
rived smiling. Always they made the
least of their misfortunes, the most
of the joy of returning home, and
were touchingly grateful for every-
thing done for them.
During her journey by hospital tram
she talked with some of the wounded.
One of them, a young fellow of nine-
teen, wounded severely in the chest,
told her his story. He had asked -her,
as she stood at the car window look-
ing out on the fair and fertile English
landscape, which he could not see from
his low pillow, to tell him "how things
looked. out there"; and when she had
complied, he was ready to converse in
. his turn.
A Gruesome Experience.
.elle had participated in the storming
of a line of Gelman trenches. Just as
he was throwing a bomb into one
seemingly evacuated, to make sure no
(living defenders remained, he was hit,
and sent rolling heels over head to
I the bottom among the slain. There
he remained all night; a gruesome but
all -too -common experience, to which,
in his crude cockney lingo, he added
a touch that seemed rather ,to belong
to the inventive genius of Guy de
Maupassant, or some other master of
creepy and hair-raising literature,
than to simple fact. Yet it was simple
' and natural enough,
! "1 was pretty sick,'" the boy told
his listener. "I was lyin' down for a.
while. Then I was crawlin' round. I
was lookin' for a 'elmet,"—the Tom-
my's favorite trophy from the field,—
] "but I wasn't hup to much gettin'
round there in that dirty, black 'ole.
"And all of a sudden I see an eye

couldn't stand it no longer. I crawled

The Glistening Eye.
Light-headed with pain and ex-
haustion and the horror of his situa-
tion, the relief when the poor lad
reached the horrible and mysterious
thing at last and found it nothing su-
pernatural was too much, aHyl be burst

Ways of the Crocodile,
The crocodile differs from his cousin,
the alligator, in that the lower maxil-

whereas it is the crocodile's ripper jaw
that is movable. The t'rorodile, more -
