SAVING FOOD Don't waste good food. A ahlpload of bananaa arrived In Boston a few days ago which the consignee refused to accept, because rer ripe. The fruit company was about to throw the entire cargo, JO. 00 hunches into the bay. saying that it was "unmarketable." Local authorities hearing of the Intention, interfered. They assert ed that the fruit was not spoiled and. If used at once, was of great food nine. They thereupon asked the company to give the fruit away In wtaad ot destroying It. The company agreed. People came HtteraTty by the thousands to the docks and carried off the bananas In their arms, In posh carts, In wagons and area In automobiles. Several carloads were shipped to military camps and to charitable Institutions dose by. Practically all the fruit was found wholesome and was utilis ed for food. That cargo, which came so near Icing destroyed as worthless, pro vided food and pleasure for fully 10.000 persons. Valued at whole sale rates it meat a saving of about $50,000. To the people who ate the bananas, they meant a saving of nearly $100,000. This Is merely an example, a sample of what Is going on, mostly on a smaller scale. In every section of this broad land. Hundreds of millions of dollars worth of good food is allowed to go to waste In this country each year that could well be put to good use. Farmers let fruit and vegetables rot on the ground. Shippers let them rot lo cars: dealers let It rot In the crates. Taken In the aggregate, the dif ference between taking care to use all the available foods, as a careless ness In that regard, makes the dif ference between ample supplies and a real shortage In a time of world wide crisis. The answer Is simple, also plain. Let every one do his or her part and the great whole will take care of It self. Rural residents (locked to Sydney by hundreds and the situation pre sently cevame practically one f the country against the city. Leaders ot the strike were prose cuted by the national government headed by the Acting Premier Geo. W. Fuller. 8ome of them are await ing trial on charges or conspiracy snd sedition. Fifty odd Industrial Workers of the World were arrest ed and most of them were sent to Jail for six months. This Is the ex treme penalty under the unlawful as- eovlatlona act passed by the federal parliament. and when some distance from camp a sudden fog enveloped them and they lost all seuse of direction. On sci'ount of the many gaping holes In the lava of that district. thoy were forced to crawl along on their hands and knees. When the fog blow away the next morning they were only a short distance from the camp. GERMAN DELEGATE UK ENGLAND The Halg, Sept. 24. (Correspon dence.) At the recent conference held here by DrltlBh and German delegates to discuss the question of treatment and exchange of prisoners. the Germans entered the conference room from a door on one side of the room and the English from a door on the opposite side.

(By mail) Three officers of the Fourth cavalry recently were lost overnight on the slopes of the three great mountains of the Island of Hawaii. The three officers. Major Vanway, Dr. Bull, and Dr. Clark, were part of a contingent of the Fourth cav alry In camp at Kllauea volcano. They started on a hunt for wild goats ;t IE London, Sept. 10. (Correspon dence of the Associate Press) Plans formulated by the British gov ernment for granting a large meas ure of self-government to the people of India were explained to the Asso ciated Press correspondent today by Edwin S. Montagu, secretary of atnte for India. Mr. Montagu, who la soon to start for India, said: "My Journey to India Is the direct outcome of the government's an nouncement In parliament that its policy In India la to develop self governing Institutions with a view to the progressive realisation of repre sentative government. "Do not misunderstand me. This Ideal of ours must be approached by easy stages. The men who thinks that home rule for India is a prac tical policy is either wholly Ignorant of the situation or designedly mls- chlevous. Steps toward responsible government will be taken at differ ent rates by different parts of India. Oreat provinces will fit themselves for It at different times. But the great thing Is that we are going ahead firmly on the path toward the end which we all, British and Indian alike, desire. "The measures that we adopt must be adequate. They must show real progress. War's vast upheaval has stirred all peoples, not only In Russia, not only In western Europe, but In China and India as well. Everbody wants to be assured that the world, their own little world, as well as the big world. Is a better world after the war. India, equally with the rest of the world, has a right to demand progress, and real progress. "So we are adopting the direct and business-like method and I'm going to India to consult with the people there and bring bark the re sults of my conferences and In quiries to o put before parliament as the basla for law which shall meail progress in Its widest snd best sense. "We have set ourselves avowedly to the enormous task ot Improving the conditions and life of the peo ple, to guarding them against famine and against war external and Inter nal so that they might live and leant and develop their great re sources unhindered and In peace. One of the most striking evi dences of our work In India Is found In our Irrigation enterprises, which are even vaster than the greatest of your own enormous Irrigation ex ploits, and which have reclaimed lit erally thousands of square mllee of desert. But It Is still a country of poverty. The majority of the people live on a few rupees a month, and It takes three rupees to make an Am erican dollar. Tho'lr country has vast resources awaiting develop ment, but the people are still very poor. Only about ten per cent oi the population can read and write. India's greatest terror, the spec tre of famine haa practically disap peared owing to Irrigation and the development of transportstlon oy railway, canal and river. A season of famine, which a generation ago nwint hundreds of thousands of deaths, now means only discomforts snd strain. As we have conquered famine, so we shall surmount the educational difficulties. "Electoral bodies have sprung up and there are In most provinces to day councils which have power lo nit us resolutions and act In an an- vlsory capacity, although they have little resimnslblllty of real power. The members of these legislative units have begun to tire of a situa tion In which they are little more than debaters, and we shall be glad to provide food for thla developing civic appetite. "Today the British people have begun to realUe that India has proved herself worthy of a larger part In the Imperial plan. India Is now assured of a place In all future Imperial war conferences. "Further steps toward responsible government will be taken as a re sult of my trip to India. steps which I trust will be convincing and satisfying to the great body of edu cated public opinion there.'
