RAILROADS WANT
RATE INCREASE

Eastern railroads, seeking relief
from conditions which their exeeu-
tives assert rapidly are approaching
the point where they can no longer
operte with profit, indicated Saturday
at Washington the form their efforts
will assume in letter to. the inter
state commerce commission, asking
for a conference to consider rates not
included in the advance allowed by
the decision in the Is per cent rate
advance case last, June.
Indications are that the railroads
have in mind filing applications for
increased rates on a large number of
commodities not alredy raised if it
should develop at the conference that
the applications might meet with any
measure of success.

MICHAELIS is NOT
WANTED, IS THE CRY
THROUGHOUT GERMANY

HMichaelis must go" is the cry of
the hour throughout Germany. The
Socialists, through their official or
gan Vorwaerts, stated it. All other
parties have taken it up. Bethmann-
Hollweg's successor, it is. believed,
will not last in office another month.
Prince Won Buelow, the former
chancellor, and DIR. Won Kuehlmann
who as foreign minister, has made q
good impression on the reichstag ma
pority, stand out as the most talked
about possibilities for the chancellor
ship.
Berlin advices have recently stated
that the resignation Of Viee-Admiral
Cape1le, the marine minister, had not
yet been acted upon, the delay being
believed to be due to the kaiser's alb
sense from the capital The nation
wide hostility to both Michaelis and
CapelIe is due to their conduct in the
naval mutiny affair. By accusing the
radical Socialists in the reichstag as
being the "arch c0nspirators" in the
mutinies, the chancellor and the ma
rine minister have loosed a storm of
fury 1t reached it's Climax when
they proved unable to offer any evil
denee beyond vague generalities.

DOG HOLLOW soon
TO Be ABLAzE

Where an iron company has pur-
chaser several farms in Caledonia,
the place is locally known as Dog
Hollow. The farms are east of the
Konkel mill and are supposed to
have rich deposits of ore beneath
them The transmission line being
built from Prairie du Sac to Baraboo
and on to Portage will pass through
Dog Hollow" and the supposition is
there will be mine opened there at
no great distant future. Many farm
ers on Sank Prairie and elsewhere
along the line are taking advantage
of the improvement to install cleo
tricity in their homes and about the
farms. No doubt residents east of
Baraboo will do likewise. The new
line will serve useful purpose in
case an accident happens to the line
first built.

REPORT OF PARDON BOARD SHOWS NO
 RIOT OF LEN|ENCY
More Petitions Were Turned Down During Year Than by Any Previous
 Body

Montgomery. December 29.-(Spe- cial.)-of the 277 petitions for the fa- vorable consideration of the state board of pardons, only 47 state con victs were recommended to Governor Henderson for paroles and six for par dons by the state board of pardons during the fiscal year which ended September 30, according to the boards annual report submitted to the gov ernor Friday. The board also recon mended the restoration of civil and political rights in eight cases.
 The report contains the name of ey- cry state convict who asked the board for clemency and gives the full opin- ion of the board in every case. The present board has the distinction of having rejected more petitions for clemency than any board which has been in office in Alabama since the new constitution was adopted.
 One of the most interesting eases handled by the board during the past year was the petition of John Will Hams of Cullman county for parole Williams was convicted of the murder of State Senator R. L. Hipp in l9Vo and sentenced to death. After a ma jority of the board of pardons as then

one of the nations fighting men. For tunately for the military power of the United States, many who are better fit ted for service in the army of produc- tion than in the army of the field are seeing the absolute necessity for con- tinuing in their daily work-in the work to which experience and perhaps certain talents have fitted them-only in more of that work. So all are enlisted-all drafted-all soldiers of America in the hour of her need.
 How shall the. home army serve best? First by holding to the right mental at titude. Discourage the rumor monger. Deal swiftly with the gloom dispenser. He is the most harmful man of all Eff ficiency in your own thought and action is the complete answer to his lamenta- tions.
 Then Americans must do more. They must get more out of every process, every product and every day. They must work harder and longer and with more systematic, concentrated attention to the big problems before them. They must plan very carefully, expenditure of time and energy, and give of both un- stintingly to their country.
 Efficiency-the effort for it and the results of it--is the only means of all the vast resources that will support the army and navy, aid the armies and peo- pies of the allies, make the world safe for orderly freedom-and win the war

Women Enter the Kitchen

Margaret Deland, the well known writer, says in the Woman's Home Com panion:
 This is brave world just now, and it shames us to admit, even to our selves, how we hate to face some do- nestle guns; we hate to ask about left over dropped eggs; and still more do We funk the going back to the good sense of mothers and grandmothers. and do our own ordering! There is, however. one thing that would help us poor craven housekeepers immensely, namely, "a community effort If groups of women-the womens clubs the women of a parish, the women of a street-would get together, and pledge each other their moral support the domestic situation would be immense ly helped; we would cease to be bullied by our kitchens. Once let Mary real ize that not only Mrs. IS al-an q-il Mrs B 'snoops round in the refrigera~ tor and Mrs. c gives ye a call-down about yer potato parings,' but that the whole alphabet of housekeepers will not permit waste Mary, too, and all her kind, will finally fall into line!
 You know the fable of the old man and his sons and the sticks? The sin gle stick was easily broken. The sin gle housekeeper is easily cowed. The fagot is unbreakable! If we women all together, insist upon a moral, social, economical course, our kitchens will join us."
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-12-30


 And with that the situation in indus try it is confronted with a production order that is not only the heaviest ever written but also is marked rush.
 The total wealth produced in this coun- try this year is estimated at $50,OOoOoO, : 000 And in this, Americas first year ot the war, $2O, 900, 100000 of this wealth will be diverted to war purposes.
 What the United States was last year, what it grew, what it made, Is not enough. What it is doing now will not suffice It must step up-speed up-or let the enemy through the line.
 How is the United States going to be able to back up it's fighting men, equip them with the weapons of war, supply them with provisions and clothing-and on top of that build COCO eco tons of ships, send Japan steel for more ships furnish England, France, Belgium, with the very bread of life?
 There is only one way-and that is to work up and speed up to efficiency. Every man and every woman who bears the name of American must be right, think straight and do more than ever before. Be more-think more-do more.
 America must have the will to win. And to have the will to win, it must think straight about the job before it. The soldier who goes to the front IS only
