Out in Kansas City numerous car loads of old potatoes are rotting on the tracks because there is no market for them, no one, either shippers or raildoad company, having had the enterprise to sell them for at least enough to pay freight rates, for purchasers of old potatoes could be found if the price were low enough. This sort of things is found in all shipping centers and is an illustration of business inefficiency and wastefulness. Women are constantly being charged with these two fault in their management of household affairs, but what they are guilty of in a small way will be found a wholesale practice in many business quarters. Efficiency experts are badly needed in numerous circles where, their services have not been sought.—lndianapolis Star. According to the Courtier-Journal. Louisville, the following credits must be given to President Wilson: “He overthrew the inaugural ball with its miserable disgrace. He goes to church to worship and ‘not to be seen of men.' He has thrown away the gold braid and military trappings generally. He has cut out the theater ostentations. He rests on Sunday. _ The white house is closed from Saturday night until Monday morning. Cold suppers are the rule at the white house on Sunday evenings. He will not join fashionable clubs. All intoxicating liquors have been excluded from the white house. Intoxicants will not ‘function’ at the white house functions. If there is anything in a good start, President Wilson has that much in his favor. The finest thing about it all is that he has taken all these steps on is own account. To his own high moral ideals his official standards are due. He has begun as a Christian gentleman.”
