a sweeping Sunday order that has just
gone into effect over the entire North
Western system. The order is to the
effect that Sunday work hereafter will
be generally suspended. There will be
no switching Saturday night or Sun
day and only such freight will be re-
moved as is absolutely necessary, such
as livestock, fruit, etc. Sunday orders
have been issued before by the COM

railway employee to have his Sunday
to himself the same as any other en-
ployee.

Why is it that no one wants to live
in the country anymore? Cities are
full of people who live from ''hand to
mouth" and whose total wealth is
represented by the clothing they have
on. Years go by and these persons
never have home. They lose that
independence that the proud owner of
a farm has. If there is one needed
reform it is to keep people on farms
and away from cities.
