most successfully waged this

And thev met with few rebuffs.
Most puoplo were willing and
anxious to do their "bit" in
lnliiiiL' the tiood work along,
and folt no hesitancy in signing
the cards. While it is true thai
manv fnmilics do not waste
anything in the food line, there
are many that do. Hut all can
save some on the foodstuff most
desired to be conserved by the
government. It would seem
that the! food conservation pro
tect would not be a bad thing
ovnn if there was no war. It
furnishes valuable information
for those that never knew how
to save and economize.

The St. .Johns city dock is at
last to have rail connections
with the O. W. H. & N. Such
is the decision of the Public
Dock Commission. This move
is said to be in the interest of
storing wheat for the govern
moot. The dock is capable of
ciirinir for about G000 tons or
more and as all storage facilities
available will be demanded to
house the cereal moving from
the interior, it was determine!
to lay tho tracks. Hesides the
shin building plants will no
doubt make use of the dock fot
landing machinery since track
aire connections are assured. A
Hide track to the city dock wa
a iU)stion that the old city
councils of St. Johns wrestled
with time and again, It was
the understanding when the
dock bonds were voted that the
railroad company would connect
up with it after construction.
I tut when the dock was com
nlotod the. company declined
mo to do. Therefore, in order
to have rail connection it would
have boon necessary to vote
more Ponds lor the purpose, as
there was no fund from which
the necessary money could be
drawn for the purpose. There
win talk at different times of
calling an election for the pur
potto of voting upon further
bond for rail connection, but
tis there was no assurance that
the luminous over the dock
would jimmy the additional ex-
pomio. the mutter was allowed
to drop and the dock remained
until the present time without
a railroad spur being connected
therewith. Now that there in
busiuoss in sight that will
make tho dock a scene of acti
vity it is meet and lilting that
the spur should be constructed.
