tary for the National woman's Party
and Mrs. Florence Bayard Hilles,
State chairman, both Of whom have

speakers.
The suffragists who gathered at
headquarters last evening we're mem

meeting resolutions demanding the

WAR BOARD ASKS
Unit Shipments
Makes New Appeal TO Ship
pers TO Lessen Car
Shortage
SETTLE DISPUTES
SOME FUTURE TIME

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Beaause
the demand for freight cars is greater
today than ever before In the history
of the country, and Is increasing daily,
the Commission on Car Service Of the
Railroads War Board has issued a
second appeal asking still further co.
operation from both shippers and re.
ceivers Of freight.
The commission states that the
ability Of the railroads to move crops
depends largely upon the full loading
Of cars and the elimination Of all
delay In loading and unloading them.
The movement of lumber to the
cantonments and the shipping yards
has monopolized the use Of more than
100000 cars and made serious inroads
into the supply that under normal
conditions would handle the move.
ment Of crops and food products To
offset this handicap and secure the
maximum amount Of service from the
cars that the nation Is dependent upon
for the transportation Of food sup
plies, the following suggestions are
First-Unload promptly all loaded
cars received.
Second. Load promptly all outgo'
ing cars and release them immediate
ly 10 the railroad
Third.-Anticipate disposition cf
freight before It's arrival
Fourth.-Do not order special types
of cars when .4uinary types Will
serve.
Fifth. Eliminate use OF railway
equipment when tonnage can be han
died by motor trucks or wagons.
Sixth Load all cars to their full
carrying capacity.
The Commission on Car Service
points out that there are six ways In
which the loading Of cars 10 their
full carrying capacity can be achieved
and enumerates them as follows:
First ..-More careful supervision Ol
loading.
Second. .-Producers and buyers
agreeing to disregard establishe
trade units and increase the units a,

Third .-Waiving rights In regard q

orders so as to AL the car, and pro
ducers disposing Of their output OF
a basis of full carrying capacity o

Flfth.-Buyers who cannot handl
larger quantities clubbing togethe
with other buyers to make full capa
city oars
Sixth.-Showing customers who dc
sire, merely as a matter of conven
ence smaller units than maximum
how they can help the general sitI
alton by ordering full cars.

The Washington times., 1917-10-02

As regards furnishing capital to the
farmer, the first need is that we shall
understand that this il essential, and
is recognized to be essential in most
civilized lands outside OF Russia and
the United States, but especially in
Denmark, France, and Germany.
Our farmers must have working
capital. The preesnt laws for provid-
ing farm loans do not meet the most
important case of all, that of the
tenant farmer. and do not adequately
provide for the land-owning farmer.
An immense amount OF new capital
an amount to be reckoned in billions
Of dollars-is needed for the proper
development of the farms of the
United States in order that our farm
ers may pass from the position OF
interpretation per acre, may i'm
prove and fertilize their lands, and so
stock them as both to secure satisfac-
tory returns upon the money Invested
and also enormously to increase the
amount OF food produced, while per-
manentIy enhancing the value OF the
land.
Lack OF capital on the part OF the
farmer inevitably means soil exhaus-
tion and, therefore diminished produc-
ton. The farmer who Is TO prosper
must have capital: only the prosper
Gus can really meet the needs OF the
consumer: and in this, as in every
other kind of honest business, the
only proper basis of success is beneft
TO both buyer and seller, producer and
consumer.
