New Express Track Ready;
to Be in Service Tomorrow

The new track at the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad station, to be used ex-
clusively for loading and unloading
express cars, will be ready for serv-
ice tomorrow. This track has been
in use for some time but is now con-
nected with the main line tracks and
will enable more prompt handling
of cars. The other tracks put down
early in the spring will be connected
with other tracks this week. This
will eliminate the curve at the west
end of the station. Similar track ex-
tensions will be made east of the sta
ton.

Enough Food in Sight
For U. S. to Win War

Washington, Sept. "a. - There is
enough food in sight to win the war
enough to feed the world. The
biggest crop of food products ever
grown in the United States, which
means the biggest ever grown by
any country in the world is white
for the harvest.
The army in the burrows has won
it's first battle. According to figures
of the Department of AgricultuI e,
there will be harvested 3.248. 600, 900
bushels of corn, half billion bushels
in excess of the average crop; 462,-
100000 bushels of white potatoes,
100,000,000 bushels in excess of the
average.
The same proportion of increase
applies to practically all other food
crops, except wheat. This is the re-
suit of the emergency war work of
American farmers.

Mr.. Kuhn is fearless in his pitt
less condemnation of junkerism and
military controlled Germany, and
is scathing in his denunciation of
inhumanities practiced by Germany
since the beginning of the war.
While here, the financier will dis
cuss the war tax on business and
incomes. the new Liberty Loan. and
similar topics Mr.. Kuhn will ar
rive in this city from Hot Springs,
Va, where he has been spending q
