CANADA TEARS UP RAILS
FOR ALLIES USE.

One OF the numerous ways In
which Canada has shown it's read.
mess to meet emergencies created
| b ythe war. is in tearing up long
sections of railway track in the
Dominion, to provide the allied
forces on the western front in Eu-
rope with needed transportation
lines, according to the March
Popular Mechanics Magazine. The
plan for collecting the rails, as
reported from Ottaka, contem-
plated the removal of some 300
miles of government-railroad sid
ings in the East and also long
stretches of track between Ed
monitor and the Pacific coast
where two railways run parallel,
the traffic of both lines to be ac-
commOdated on the remaining
route. The plan, it was said,
owed its origin to the British gov
eminent, which intimahed that
prompt aston of this mind would
probably save thousands of lives,
and that new rails could not be
obtained because of the demand
for steel in making munitions. It,
was estimated in Ottawa that
over | 900 miles Of Canadian track
would be torn up in response to
the appeal.

We have a sort of feeling tina
John Jacob Astor ism t setting hi
American peers a good example
In an era when nearly all of u.
; are graphing grimly with the
economic wolf, alias Cost of Lily.
ing. young Astor blandly con
! fesses his mother does it fol
him-that his living expenses il
three years and half have
amounted to SS6,O34.
Really, isn't it going pretty
strong when three-year-old baby
cant get along on less than $25,-
900 a year?
To be sure, little John Jacob
has obligations that he can't very
well dodge. He has to live on
Fifth Avenue, and his share of
the taxes on that property are
over $11,O 900 a year. One must
keep an expensive household, too,
in little John Jacobs circle. 1t
costs him about $11 900 a wear for
his part of the house expenses
and he doesn't entertain much,
either. He pays his doctor $4,000
a year and his lawyer 81 900 a
year. You might not think that
a baby needs a lawyer, but that
just shows how little you know
about aristocratic babies. He has
a troublesome income tax to pay.
And he has to have clothes and
toys. Those indispensable arti-
cles have cost him about $4,000 in
his short life.
Maybe John Jacob can t help it.
The pressure Of environment is
hard for an outsider to appreciate. |
And yet, we can't help suspecting
hat the young man is going it a
Dit srtong. And such habits
grow.
If it costs him $4,000 a year
when he's three, how can he get
long on less than million a year

As an aid to education, we
doubt whether you can do any
thing else SO worth while this
month as to help make your
neighborhood a reading neighbor-
hood. F" You want better schools
better roads. more cooperative en-
terprises. farmers club, farm
women S club, and richer social
life-and the best way to arouse
interest as to all these agencies of
progress is to get your neighbors
to reading about them fifty-two
weeks in the year. Talk about
having some agricultural leader
come around and make a talk for
you: that is good as far as it goes,
but he speaks only once during
the twelve months to part of the
family. whereas the truly progress
sive paper is ilently influencing
the whole family for good every
week in the year. Every public
spirited man and woman there
fore should feel it a public duty
to put at least one good paper
into every home in the neighbor-
hood. The Progressive Farmer. ]
