SHORTAGE Of CARS
SERIOUS PROBLEM

That the shortage o. freight cars
may greatly interfere with farmers
supplies Of fertilizers, machinery, lime
and other necessities 3 the opinion
of the authorities in the business
world most competent TO Judge.
The shortage Is increasing at an
alarming rate, with no relief in sight.
The September shortage of 10000
cars grew to $4,000 in October, 10000
in November and close to 100000 in
December. At this rate March will
see a lack Of more than SOC. 900 cars
annually necessary for moving fertil-
izers alone.
These figures are authentic and
such people as the Armour Fertilizer
works, the National Fertilizer associa-
ton and others see in the situation
enough seriousness to warrant their
warning their close connections to
make every effort to place fertilizer
orders early, to make sure Of getting
any at all. The usual shipping sea-
son on fertilizers covers six to eight
weeks. The railroads ask that at
least three months be given them this
year.
One of the country's foremost men
| is sending out this warning: Far
| mers who order their fertilizers early
| will enable the railroads to move them
before the rush season opens and the
cars can be unloaded and used several
| times and for several hauls instead of
one. This will help out the railroads,
the dealers and the manufacturers and
will insure a supply Of fertilizers in
a year when on account of high prices
| for farm products fertilizers are go
ing to pay bigger profits on the in
vestment than ever before. The ship
| ping Of fertilizers early is of advan-
| tage to the farmer in other ways. and
early ordering will help everybody"
4 With food-stuffs prices higher than
ever before, largely increased acre
age may be looked for; which means
greater demand for fertilizers; which
means demand for even more cars
than usual. And there are fewer cars
than for many years past. Early buy
ing and cooperation with dealers or
neighbors to make up maximum car
load shipments will help assure fair
delivery But unless growers take
prompt and intelligent action to Sc
cure delivery without delay on such
| items as will be needed this spring
they may sit idle and watch the days
pass with no crops in the ground. The
situation may be unpleasant but ii
is an unacceptable truth.

OATS IN DEMAND BY

Chicago, Ills, Dec. 2S.-StOrms and
cold, which threatened to hinder SER
iously any improvement in traffic con-
ditions on the railroads led today to
an upturn in prices OF corn. The mar
ket closed firm, A@A to 3s@kc net

and May 125. Oats gained H to NC.
There were losses of 20 to Use in

1t was not until after midday that
bullish sentiment predOminated re-
garding corn. Weakness earlier was
largely due to notice that the directors
of the exchange had prohibited fur
Their trading in the December option,
and had fixed settling price AS such
action removed pressing necessity for
immediate supplies, the market was
eased to a notable extent. Later,
however, the attention of dealers
focused on the outlook for protracted
unfavorable weather and the likeli.
hood that the crop movement would
be kept down to small proportions.
Buying on the part of export houses
seemed to be chiefly responsible for
the strength of oats. Liquidation of
December holdings weakened the
market at first, but the effect failed

Saturday Evening Letter
BY Justice J. E. Robinson

the land owner merely lien on the
grain but it was not executed and filed
as chattel mortgage. 1t was record
ed but the record is not noticed to
subsequent purchasers. Under this
contract Doerner farmed the land dur
ing the years 1911, 1912, 1915 and 1914.
During the last year he raised on the
land 1,4l5 bushels of wheat. He gave
Stoffel about half of the wheat and
from the remaining half he gave Peter
Blum 296 bushels which he sold the
company at ninety-eight \cents per
bushel receiving a check payable to
the order of George DOerner. DOern-
or sold the elevator company the re.
mainder of the wheat.
On February 1G, 1915, sStoffel the
owner of the land, commenced an &C
ton against the company to recover
from DOerner and from Peter Blum
and received judgment for $775.5O
and costs. That action was commenced
by serving a summons and complaint
on the secretary Of the company who
gave an admission of service and re-
tanned Otto Thress to appear as his
attorney. Then on February Is, nine
days after the service, an order was
made for the entry of judgment. The
judgment roll is in evidence and it
contains the summons, complaint, the
order for judgment ana THE judgment
and the check given to Peter Blum
in the name Of George 'Doerner and
endorsed by George Doerner, but the
Judgment roll contains no answer. 1t
shows no defense; it does show marks
of collision and design to permit
Judgment in haste and then to bring
an action against Doerner and an &C
ton against Blum by the same attOr-
ney who permitted the hasty and
.ollusive judgment against the com.
,any.
In regard to the law of the case it

AMERICAN LINER
AIMS TO STRIKE
NEAR PERISC0PE

Boston, Dec. 23.-Four German sub.
marines were captured recently by
twelve American destroyers, accord
ing to an American seaman who
reached his home here from French
port Friday night.
London, Dec. pa German sub
marine was sunk by the fire of guns Of
an American passenger steamer ap-
preaching the British coast Thursday,
according to reports of the passeng-
ers and gunners aboard.
The ship was proceeding at full
speed at about noon in a very smooth
sea. The weather conditions were
such as to make the best visibility. A
periscope was sighted by the watch on
the bridge and the submarine was
seen plainly by the passengers as it
came to the surface at a distance of
about 1900 yards directly in the wake
of the ship.
The steamer was brought about
sharply and the two guns of the YES
sci fired with only an interval of two
seconds between the shots. Tho Sec
ond shell exploded and debris from
the submarine was seen flying in the
air. Aferward no trace of the submar-
inc was visible.
The convoy signalled to the liner:
"a direct hit"
The watch on the bridge and the
gunners and passengers confirmed
this verdict. No trace of a torpedo
was seen.
The incident passed so quickly that
there was no alarm or panic. Pass
engers who came running to the deck
at the sound of guns were told that
the excitement was all over.
