> Picking Up-Prospect for Il Ban
ncr Year Is General.

Washington, June 11.--That the
"prosperity movement" has already
snread far beyond st. Louis, and IS
likely soon to be fact all over the
country was the opinion expressed
here in high places. 1t was the mes
cage carried to the Cabinet by Secre-
tary OF Agriculture Wilson, and told
nv Franklin II. Lane, interstate
Commerce Commissioner.
What Secretary Wilson had to say
tn the Cabinet referred, of course.
chiefly to the condition of crops and
the promise of a bumper harvest this
Fall. Commissioner Lane discussed
the situation from the viewpoint OF
railroad traffic.
THE prospect for good crops"
said the secretary before he ent in
TO the meeting, could not be better.
ia the big growing grain regions
what have said is true, while in the
Southern cottor. belt there is partic-
ular reason Tor congratulation
even believe that the cotton crop IN S
year will be better than last years

Exactly what this mean in terms
OF transportation Commissioner Lane
set forth by declaring he believed
that when the time came for moving
the crops a shortage OF freight cars
would be unavoidable.
THE volume of traffic Is steadily
Increasing" he said, "and, although
K is still below what it was at tn 8
time last year. all the indications are
that by the time the Fall crop is
ready to be moved the increased rail-
road business will force a car short
age in short order.
The chief decline in traffic was
In building and construction mate

terals used by the roads themselves.
AT last even railroad construction
Is showing signs of picking up, and
this work Is dragging in its train an
Increased transportation OF coal,
iron, oil, and similar commodities.
or course, every piece OF construc-
tion-in no matter what industry
means that in that particular indus
try there will be further increases.
This goes on like compound interest,
and compound interest mounts up
rapidly"
