effect of the slackening OF activity at some important center of wave force
The effect of a reduction In the purchasing power OF farmers, following a
season of bad crops, is generally understood. But how about the purchasing
power of the great transportation industry? With the steady march of
operating expenses upon revenues, without corresponding increases IN rail-
way charges, the railways have been driven to curtail all expenditures, and
even stop entirely many customary purchases for extending and improving
pick, to say that this is the sole cause of the present quiescent state of It's
surface, but it unquestionaby is a cause of the greatest Importance. How
important this cause will appear from the amount of railway expenditures
Take, for example, the year 1913. the last for which complete figures arr
available. In that year the railroads spent $2170000 900 in expenses for
operation, OF which $1373O00000 was for wages and salaries. In addition.
they spent $43600O 900 for interest $260000O0O for dividends, and $48O,
100000 for new tracks, locomotives and cars. or for additions or beterments
to property already in existence. The total expenditures for 1918 amounted,
therefore, to about $685. 100000
Some details OF railway purchases of materials and supplies for 1913 are
as follows: For fuel for locomotives $25OO00O00; for lubricants, water and
other supplies for locomotives O. the largest roads alone, SIS 900 600; for
stationery and printing $4,000 900; for station supplies, $2 900 900; for
advertising, 100000; for rails, ties and other materials for repairing and
maintaining track already built, $104O00O00 It should be noted that these
statistics of actual purchase cover only what is needed to keep the railway
not only result in higher and more generous maintenance, but in new con.
srucuon work in the public interest
"A question deserving thoughtful attention is: II railways should be
allowed a slight increase in charges and relief from costly restrictions upon
details OF operation, would not the increased buying power that would be
precpitated by the addition to their available revenues aghate the business
pond to a desirable degree OF wave actyty?"

WILSON PLEADS
FOR NEUTRALITY
DEMAND THAT AMERICANS TAKE
6TAND FOR AMERICA VOICED
IN ADDRESS BY PRESIDENT.
Says United States 10 Not Merely
Trying 70 koep Out Of Trouble, But
Trying to Preserve Foundations
on Which psaos Can be Rebuilt.

Washington.--A demand on all
Americans on pain OF ostracism to be
more than neutral In regard to the
European war, to take their stand for
America first, last and all the time,
was voiced by President Wilson on
Monday, In q speech In the celebra-
| tion OF the twenty-ffth anniversary Of
the founding Of the Daughters Of the
American Revolution. The United
States, the president said, was not
merely trying to keep out Of trouble,
but was trying to preserve the foun-
dations upon which peace could be
rebuilt.
Peace can be rebuilt" he added,
only upon the ancient an o~accepted
principles of international law; only
upon those things things which re-
mind nations of their duties to each
only upon the ancient and accepted
duties to mankind and humanity.
America has a great cause which Is
not confined to the American CONT
nent. 1t Is the cause OF humanity It,
self"
Declaring his faith In the loyalty of
the great body Of naturalized citizens
of foreign birth. the president said he
believed the impression was too gen
erai that q very large number of these
citizens were without a sufficient az
lection for the American ideal. But l
am in a hurry to have a lineup" he
explained, land let the men who are
thinking of other countries stand on
mi side, and those who are for Amer
lea first, last and all the time, on the
other"
Every political action and every
social action In America at this
time" said Mr.. Wilson, should have
for its objective to challenge the spirit
OF Americanism."

RUSSIAN DRIVE HALTED.
Report Comes From Berlin That Won
HindenburQ 10 Put on Defense.

siH'1SabAi 10 w Va 1GiCiiSSs
London.--The official reports of the
fighting along the major fronts were
unusually meagre on Monday, the
only significant point In any of them
being the statement from Berlin that
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg on the
Dvinsk front had repulsed Russian
attacks, which seemingly would indi-
cate that for the first time since the
German drive through Poland began,
the Austro-G Germans are making no
big offensive at any point along the
whole eastern front.
OF the fighting In the west the
French official communication, In re-
viewing the recent German counter
attack on Loos, says the Germans left
between 1000 and 5000 dead before
the positions which they tried in vain
to recapture.

REMEDY FOR PAVING HORSES
Annoying Habit May Be Cured by
Fastening Chain to Animals Leg
Acts as Chain Switch.

A horse that has the habit of paw
Ing, especially at night, is most an
noying. 1t is also bad for the horses
feet If he is paving all the time. To
stop this, take a strong strap with a
buckle on 1t, also 5 or 10 inches of
heavy chain. Put the strap around
the horses leg above the knee so
the chain will hang down In front Of
the knee.
This device acts as a chain switch
and will cure the horse Of the paving
habit. 1t also keeps a horse from
running in rough pastures.-Farm and
