point of view.
In 1891, T. NJ. Warren, then 10 years
old, had been employed in the Santa
Fe general offices in Topeka about 2
years. He noticed that his fellow en-
ployes travelled a lot and they did it
on passes. One day he inquired about
these passes. why is it I never get
one?" he asked a co-worker.
You'll have to ask for one. This
company isn't giving out passes or
anything else it isn't asked for" was
the answer
Warren asked for a pass.
Where to? ?" queried the pass clerk.
Warren looked at a map, and
thought while. Leavenworth, little
dot on the paper. caught his eye.
Make it Leavenworth," said War
rem.
The pass clerk made it, Leaven-
worth. Warren went and returned.

The effects of this shortage lasted
nearly a generation Colleges OF hb-
eral arts have proved to be the best
producers of raw materials out OF
which to fashion officers.
81 believe young men in college and
those contemplating entering, but who
are below the draft age or who have
not been drafted, should go on with
their college work, at least for the
present." This is the opinion of Maj.
the national army camp at Fort Riley,
Kan.
Plenty in Draft Age.
I'VE have drafted more men than
we shall be able to equip for a long
time and there are more men included
in the draft age than we shall want
for a considerable period" General
Wood adds. "On the other hand. we
must every year have a study output
of technically trained men in order to
meet the demands of the war. Young
men can prepare themselves to serve
better later on if they are well edu-
Gated and well trained to take up the
fessiona1 work in the army. I have
discouraged young boys. who are half
educated, from giving up their studies
this for the simple reason that we
cannot use them to advantage OF
course, should a situation arise in
WHICH every available man Is neeOeQ,
then everything should be dropped
and every man who is physically fit
should go. but such a situation has not
yet arisen"
1T will be little short of a national
calamity should great numbers OF
young American boys under military
age leave college or fail to enter be-
cause of their desire to help in more
direct fields of SERVICE" says F. A.
Vanderlip, president of the National
City Bank of New York. II believe
our young boys who will continue
their college work will render their
country the highest possible service
by fitting themselves for the prob
lens to be solved in the future, and
they can evidence their patriotism
by earnestly pursuing their college
courses until they are called for d.
rect national service"
Go right along the lines they had
planned" is the suggestion of John
Wanamaker, nationally known retail
merchant He adds that college men
should take any military training pro-
vided at their schools and pursue
their studies in the usual way that
may be prepared for any call their
country may make upon them. and
at the same time lay a foundation for
their life work when the war is over"

Answer to Inquiries Made by
Dean Templin of X. q.

Lawrence, Kan, Sept. 12.-In an
effort to ascertain the best course for
American youths. not in the army, to
pursue in this time of international
crises, Dean Olin Templin of the Uni
versity of Kansas has asked leaders
in American affairs and thought for
advice for the youth of America Is a
boy wasting time by continuing or be-
ginning a college education? Is he
neglecting his best opportunity of
serving his country by going to school?
President Wilson, General Wood, John
Wanamaker, and leading business and
professional men of America have
replied and each has urged emphat-
ically that the youth of America con-
tinue in the college and universities
that the country may not suffer and
fall back for lack of trained men and
women.
Dean Templin's inquiries were ad-
dressed almost entirely to business and
professional men and not to educa-
tors. Educators naturally would ad-
wise a college education-that's part
of their business. Following is the
advice of the president and other fore
most men of America to the boys Of
America:
''1t would seriously impair Ameri-
cas- prospects of success in this war
if the supply of highly trained men
were unnecessarily diminished" Pres
ident Wilson writes. There will be
need for a larger number of persons
expert in the various fields of applied
science than ever before. 1 therefore
have no hesitation in urging colleges
and technical schools to endeavor to
maintain their courses as far as pos
sible on the usual basis. I would par
ticularly urge upon the young people
who are leaving our high schools that
as many of them as can avail them
selves this year of the opportunities
offered by the colleges and technical
schools, to the end that the country
may not lack an adequate supply of
trained men and women"
U. S. Would Suffer.
Daniel Willard, president of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad and chair
man of the advisory commission of
the council of national defense. joins
with Hollis Godfrey, chairman of the
governments commission on educa-
ton and engineering, in declaring
that 1.-The United States will suffer
intellectually if there = general fall
ing off in the attendance at higher
institutions. Should operations of the
higher institutions be seriously re-
duced the industrial life of the coun-
try must inevitably be handicapped
after the close of the war. The
south suffered such a shortage of
trained leaders after the Civil war.

TO az car shortage.
This compares with the excess Of I'M
filled car requisition, amounting to
77.6S2 on July /: 33.776 August /; a.
COS on September /.
The actual number of untitled car
orders on October l was almost iden-
teal with the number on October l
last year. the figures being s4.572 for
October l. 1917, and 94,S54 for Septem-
Der 80. 1916.
The difference In the excess of UNI
filled orders over idle cars for the two
years is accounted for by the fact that
on September 30, 1916, as many as
34.151 cars were idle, whereas on Oc-
tobcr l, 1917. only 24,l92 were reported
as idle thus indicating n more eff
cient use of the available equipment
OH the part of the railroads.
Returns to the Railroads War Board
show that the actual number Of cars
and locomotives now in service on
American railroads is only slightly in
excess of the number at this time last
year.
The war board on October 10 had
been in existence exactly six
months. and the returns just at hand
show that during that period the rail-
roads of the country have rendered
upwards of is per cent more service
than they did during the same period
last year. with practically the same
plant.
The outstanding feature of the pres
ent situation is the degree to which
the railroads are cooperating whole
hcartcdly with one another and with
the Railroads War Board in the eff
fort to produce a maximum of trans
portation efficiency. AS the demands
upon the railroads incident to tho war
are apt 20 increase. the need for the ut
most cooperation on the part of all
concerned will become increasingly
greater.

NOT A HARD-TIMES BALL

The committee in charge of the arrange ments for the big entertainment; at A. B. hall this city on March 17, by the Pioneers, desires to correct the impression generally circulated about the district that the affair is to be dance of the hard times variety. Such is not the case; it will be genuine "sourdough" dance-one of those glorious and wholesome affairs at which the old timers will feel perfectly at home, and every body can have good time. There will be nothing to hinder anybody from appearing in hard-times regala- they would be wei comed like the flowers of May-but woe unto the old-tmer who looms up on that oc- casion with a billed shirt and shined shoes. Twill sure cost him dearly for his stylish efforts.

HIGH COST OF WHISKY
 IN ALASKA DRY" SECTION

W. C. Mitchell who arrived from the coast last week, says that the liquor indus try in the dry" town of Anchorage is lively. and although there have been several con victions and some heavy fines have been assessed, the profits of the business arc such that bootlegging is by no means on the wane. It seems that any resident of An chorage may secure liquor from outside points by means of an order, and that the dealers import great quantities of the goods under "orders" from individual customers. It IS a case of making the consumer pay the freight however, as Mir. Mitchell says that the price of bottle of whisky, containing 8 fifth of gallon, is S5. Beer is sold at 8 per bottle And the demand for both beer and whisky is brisk.
