RAILROADS INNOCENT BY
ISLANDERS.

A committee of railroad presidents,
headed by Frank Trumbull, has pre-
scented to President Wilson a brief OF
the difficulties confronting the rail-
roads, brought on by the European
war. The president, in turn. has
transmitted the memoranda to the
American people, directing attention
to the extraordinary emergency now
confronting the railroads.
The railroads are innocent by
ISLANDERS in this war and they have
been more severely wounded than
any other industry, for railroad prop
erty, although privately owned, is de-
voted to public service, and while the
government makes the rates and re-
quires expenditures, it does not guar
antee receipts.
The farmers suffer for lack of a
market and business stagnates by the
closing of foreign ports, but the ware
house and the bank vault will pre-
serve their property from destruction
while the railroads, like Tennyson's
brook, must run on and on and can
not resort to any such expediency
to protect their interests.

l
ing heavy weights, e,lore is nothing
in farm work that is not easily with
in the capacities Of women. 1t is
probably true that the average
farmer depends very much for his
business success on his wife's judge
ment.
If women go into farming more,
thew will be turning from calllngs
that are overcrowded, into one in
which the whole world is crying for
the product. 1t always pays to work
in a field where the demand exceeds
the supply. The agricultural schools
are reporting this fall that many
women are stalking their courses OF
study. Perhaps the sight of the mil
lions of Europe's women, who are
this years harvest, may in
spirc others in this country to choose
this opening.

A GREAT EDUCATOR.

Some idea of the tremendous influ-
ence of which the moving picture
shows are capable is shown by the
statement of the chairman of the ma
tional board of censorship of motion
pictures that there are from 10000 to
10000 moving picture theatres in the
United States that entertain daily
from 1000 GOO to 100000 persons, an
aggregate OF 2,0O0,OOO,0OO to 3,000,-
100000 yearly. The capital invested
aggregates something like $15O,0OO,-
600 and the public spends annually
about< G3O0,0O0,o00 for admissions.
The business is growing rapidly, hav-
ing been developed in the last decade
Churches, schools and all kinds of
educational institutions are becoming
interested in the moving picture as a
means CT education. and it is Claimed
that the character and quality of the
pictures are steadily improving.
The moving picture is destined to
exert a strong influence on the ma
tional character, for it reaches all
classes and it's influence is particu-
larly strong on the classes that do
not read much. Its general influence
is wholesome, but if it were not care
fully censored it might easily develop
into an influence of incalculable
harm

WOMEN AT WORK IN THE FIELDS.

One of the features of the news
from Europe is the way in which the
wcmen of the warning countries have
turned out in the fields to cultivate

primitive. In Europe it has always
been common. The majority OF the
aliens who do servants work in this
country no doubt used to hoe ana
rake and NOW in the old country.
OF recent years, as foreign labor
has come to the United States, It is
not so unusual to see women doing
teamwork. In many districts, as you
