Save a nickel a day."
That is the slogan of the Amer
lean railroads. Each of their en-
ployes have had that request
placed before them. But be it
understood the nickel is to be
saved for the railroads. Maybe,
later on, the employees will benefit
by their frugality by higher
wages.
The Rock Island started it. The
Pennsylvania and other great sys-
tens caught ii and now the rail
road employe who hasn't been
asked to save nickel for the
company" is a rare specimen.
Enthusiasm is bubbling over
in the general offices.
Office men are expected to save
their nickels by being more care
full with materials, such as papers,
pencils, ETC.; by spending less
time telephoning to their gentle
men" or lady" friends.
Firemen and engineers help the
fund along by being more econom-
ical in the handling of coal, a few
shovelfuls a day saved means a
whole lot at the end of the run. ("
Shop men can put in a nickel's
worth of time hereafter instead of
standing around swapping jokes.

much to the finances of the rail-
roads. For instance, the 1,6OO,-

That sum would pay more than

get them on the go. She said there
was one on Church street and the
neighhors all talked about it and
watched until it moved down on

moved to Jail.
