TEXAS MIDLAND BRANCH
1t Is Seriously Retarded by the Increased
Cost OF Material.
PROPOSED WACO EXTENSION is DEFERRED
Car Service Association Meeting.
Houston and Texas Central Inn
provements.

Paris. Texas. June 12.-President Ell
R. Green returned today from a trip to
the Eastern railroad supply markets. He
stated to The Post correspondent that on
account Of great increase in the cost Of
the material the northeastern extension 70
Mena, Ark. and the Waco extension would
probably not be undertaken yet. Material
had gone up % per cent higher than
seven months ago. and it would cost $685.
600 more to bridge the Brazos alone than
1t would have cost then. still greater
drawback. however, was that the loco
motive works and rolling mills had orders
months ahead. lie wanted to purchase
fifteen locomotives for the additional
equipment of the Waco extension
In this connection he read the corre-
spondent letter from the Schenectady
works, saying they could not undertake
to contract to deliver them before early
next year. 1t would not take exceeding
three months to grade to Waco.
The Midland does not issue bonds. What
it does it does for investment and not
speculation, Mr. Green said; hence 1t
would not pay TO extend right now, either
to Mena or Waco when he would have TO
wait for months to have his orders for
equipment filled He stated however. that
he had all the figures and estimates for
costs for both extensions prepared.

unfortunately the women who are IN most
need of this accomplishment are those who
live in the remote country districts, and
In many cases too poor to buy firearms.
Georgia club women, who are honest in
their wish to heln their less fortunate
sisters. should petition the commissioners
in each county to provide every country
woman who has none with a pistol. The
petition should also embody a request that
a body OF rural police be organized in every
county for the protection of the woman
and children and to put an end to the
reign OF terror in which they are living
today 1t is certain that every member
Of the Atlanta City federation. numbering
1000, will sign a petition OF this lnd and
