OUR SUNDAY SCHOOLS
Jn the city of La Giande we have more than two thousand
boys and girls of school age. Their parents insist that those
children attend the public schools regularly, knowing that
education is essential to any youth who wants to amount to
anything in this modem world.

Monday afternoon - young hitch
hiker vtcppe Into the oCtkx of this
rfr--rpper and informed the
-Titer that be wanted enough work
to earn a meal for himself and his
wife, stating that they had not
eaten all day. Keedss to say, our
sympathy ws in-aly aroused
uriUL He was told that there was
no work Tailb but that Roe burg
supports community chest and that
the Salvation Army eerres meals to
those who are actually hungry.
Then came the tirade! The young
man immediately became "hard-1
boiled.- He railed and cursed ihe !
Salvation Army, the community chest
and other charitable institutions. He
ridiculed the food that had been
given on his trip down through Wash
lngton and Oregon- He waxed wratfay
about the surroundings In the free
dining rooms and the company he
was forced to keep as he sal down to
partake of this free food.
"Besides," he added, "we haven't
got time to run all over town look
ing lor something to eat. We've got
to get our eats and get out of here.
We want to make the California
line by night." It was nearly 4 p.
m. and the young man and bis wife
were hitch-hiking.
Then came the parting shot1
"Well," be said. In the best hard-
yegg manner. "111 ask 'em for
something to eat and if they don't
give it to me I're got something In
my grip that'll get me something!"
He could hare been arrested for
threatening to commit a felony, al
though the chances are a hundred
to one that such a barking dog
would never bite.
This Incident is related here
merely as an Incident. Tou may
draw your own conclusions as to
where this young man and his wife
will find themselves If they con

oy mo Association of Railway Executives, 161 lbs. of fuel
were required in freight service to move 1,000 tons a distance
of one mile. This figure was successively reduced each year
until in 1931 this same amount of work required the con
fMimption of only 119 lbs. of coal, a decrease of 2G per cent.
Likewise, the fuel consumed in moving a passenger-train
car one mile, amounting to 18.1 lbs. in 1923, was cut to 1 1.5
lbs. in 1931, a reduction of 20 per cent.
"Reversing those figures to show the amount of work done
by a pound of fuel, it is seen that a pound of coal was used
in railway freight service to move one ton a distance of G.2
miles in 1923, while in 1931 one pound of coal moved a ton
8.4 miles, an increase in productivity of 35 per cent. Like-

"In the past eight years," continues the Railway Age,
"increased efficiency in the use of fuel in transportation has
caved the railways a total of $1.10,097,000. Of this total,
$348,001,000 was saved in freight service and the balance,
$98,030,000, in passenger service. Savings in 1931, over the
average fuel consumption in 1923, amounted to $57,733,000.
The vital importance of these savings appears from the fact
that this 1931 figure represents 05 per cent of the total net
income of the railways in that year."

There will be a contest from Min

the state convention. They were In
the minority, however, and will have
great difficulty getting into the
Chicago convention. The bolt is not
very damaging insofar as It indicates
a party division in Minnesota, for
that state never has been in the i
Democratic electoral column anyway.
If what the Smith Mlnnesotans did,
however, is an index to the temper
of the Smith forces elsewhere, then
the development Is of very wide Im
portance. It is that sort of develop
ment which makes party leaders cate
chise one another earnestly on this
very pertinent point: "If they're

happen by November?"
