About Railroad Rebatimg

Ten years ago no one dreamed of
the enormous expansion of this strange
system of private ownership of rail-
road rolling stock. Examine almost
any freight train today On any rail-
road in the country, and it will be
found that one or more of the cars,
often every car in the train, bears not
the name of the transportation COM
pany, whose lawful obligation it is to
provide the necessaries of commerce,
but the name and the f1aring aiver-
tisements of private persons who are
not common carriers at all. Today
over 500 private freight car lines are
in f1ourishing existence, operating $780,
900 cars. And the number includes
not only stock and refrigerator cars,
but all sorts Of curious by-develop-
ments, private cars for breakfast
foods, beer, furniture, farm machinery,
eggs. stones, lumber lard, carriages
and many other commodities. trains
there are today which resemble moth
ing so much as a flying plllpoard
advertising everything from delicious
sausage" to perfect pickles.
The largest single owner OF private
oars is Armour of Chicago, VINO con-
trolls a dozen or more carlines, and not
only fruit and meat cars, but many
+.rx cattle and even ordinary boxcars
involving altogether a business Of a
MAGNITUDE difficult to conceive. VI re-
frieerator-cars alone he has over A.
900. representing an investment OF
some $4,000, 900. Nearly every great
trust is an owner Of private cars; and
that is one reason, as 1 shall show, why
the trust is a trust and why it con-
times a trust. The Standard Oil COM
Danv owns thousands of private tank
cars. and the steel trust thousands OF
ore and coal cars Not included among
the private freight-car owners we have
also the sleeplng-car trust oWHlhs
thousands of Pullman cars which are
in reality private cars, and the ex-
press trust with thousands OF express
cars

though we haven't yet had the Pull

greater or less degree of every pri-
waite car owner. e.

who would have nothing to do with

There arc two branches in the study
Of riches-gctting money and keeping
it from getting away. When fellow
has saved thousand dollars and
every nickel represents a walk home
instead Of ride on trolley. and every
dollar stands for cigars he didn't smoke
and for shows he didn't see, it natural
ly seems as II that money. when it's
invested, ought to declare dividends
every thirty days. But almost any
scheme which advertises that it will
make small investors rich quick is
like one Of these Yellowstone geysers
that spout up straight from hadcs
with boom and roar: it's bound to
return to its native birthstone sooner
or later. leaving nothing behind it but
a little smoke and u smell Of burned
money-your money.
II a fellow would stop to think he
would understand that when money
comes In so hard it isn't reasonable to
expect that II can go out and find more
easy. But the great trouble Is that a
good many investors don't stop to
think or else let plausible strangers do
their thinking for them. That's why
most young men have tucked away
with their college diploma and the pic
ture Of their first girl an impressive
deed to a lot in Nowhere-on-theN 9TH
ingness, or a beautiful certificate Of
stock In the Gushing Grille oil well
that has never gushed anything but
lies and promises.

thousand dollars comes hard and that
after that 1t comes easier So It does
Just a thousand dollars plus interest
easier. and easier through all the in
creased efficiency that self denial and
self control have given you.
It doesn't seem like much when you
take your savings bank book around

and your bond are still true to you

schemes it would have lit out long

You can't too soon make 1t rule to
invest only on your own know and
never on somebody else's say so. You
may lose some PROFITS by this policy,
but you're bound to miss lot Of
losses. Often the best reason for keep.

low common sense The time to buy

It's better to so slow and lose good
bargain occasionally than to go fast
and never get q bargain. It's all right
to take long chance now and then

afternoon, when Mrs. j. B. Ellis

of the things which made the after

was highly complimented upon the
effect produced by the hundreds of
hearts, which festooned the cur
tains, walls and doorways. Mrs.
Ellison had provided for the enter

gagged in several contests. The
first was hunt for candy hearts
hidden throughout the rooms, and
Mrs. Frank Mutchmore secured
the largest number, being presented
with burnt wood heart and arrow.
Mrs. Charles Lutz received the
second prize, a pen and ink sketch,
suggestive of Valentine Day. The
guests were then given two hearts
Of different colors, which hda beer

and St. Valentine. The principal
feature of the afternoon, and one
which reflected credit upon the
originality of the club, was the
exchange of towels as mementos
of the day, all of which were ac-

The roll call was answered by
reading suggestive Of the occasion
and the remaining hours were de-
voted to the plying of the needles.
The club color, purple, was in
evidence throughout the parlors,
and many of the members wore
violets, the club flower. At five

served,
