RAILROAD RUMBLES
CAR SHORTAGE IS
DUE TOLOADING
Slogan Is to Fill Up to Capa-
city; Shippers Are at
Fault 1t Is Said

Load all freight cars to capacity"
is the slogan with Pennsylvania rail-
road, and Philadelphia and Reading
is it believed will further improve
congestion and car shortages. Both
railroad companies are sending out
letters to shippers asking for a hearty
cooperation in preventing tie-ups and
shortage of cars. One official ex-
plains the new order as follows:
THE situation is to a very large ex-
tent in the hands of the shippers. BY
buying in full carload lots, wastage of
equipment can be eliminated. A very
large portion of business in canned
foods and other merchandise between
packers, jobbers, wholesale merchants
and many of the larger retail houses
is done on carload basis. For in
stance, broker makes an offer on a
car of tomatoes and passes the order
through in that manner, and the can
ner enters $50 cases, which is just a
little in excess of $4,000 pounds.
Cars Only Partially Filled
In many cases the railroad can only
furnish for such a shipment car that
can very we'll be loaded with 10000
pounds, and, therefore, only three
hfths of the capacity of the car is
utilized"
Freight men assert that there are
trains passing through the yards every
day in which not more than 20 per
cent. of the cars are loaded to their
capacity. AS a result, there is q large
shipping capacity wasted and the pro-
ductive, capacity of many factories and
industries is unutilized.
The situation, it is said, is very vi
tai, not only to the railroad company,
but also to the people at-large and it
is one over which the company has
no control, but officials hope that all
shippers will recognize the advantage
to be gained from the proper use of
car space and will keep this in mind
der.

THROUGH THE ROYAL GORGE

Through the Royal Gorge" a chap
ter from the Rev. David M. Steele's
new book, Going Aborad Overland" ="
has been published in a beautiful illus
trated leafiet by the Denver and Rio
Grande. Dr. Steele graphically de-
scribes the wonders of the natural
scenery thereabouts and pays a splen-
did tribute to the pathfinders who
blazed out this trail-the scouts, re-
connoiterers, surveyors and construc-
tion gangs who gave this railroad be-
ing and the men who to-day make the
wheels go round.

Cash-Joseph

Tuesday of last week Earle
Cash and Miss Florence Joseph
were united in marriage At st.
Joseph3 Catholic Church in
Brunswick, Father Richardson
officiating.
This event has not been un-
expected for some time but the
young people stole a march on
their many friends just the
same. There are numbers of
them yet over the county who
will be surprised to learn of the
event.
Mrs. Earl Cash is a young
lady quite as well known and as
popular in this neighborhood as
she is at Indian Grove, her for
mer home. She taught school
north east of town several terms
and is a prespossessing Young
woman, cultured and domestic
and will make a home worth
calling such. She was the valu-
ed correspondent from the
Grove for The Great Favorite
Weekly for some time and our
readers will miss her we'll writ
ten and newsy items much.
Earl Cash is or was, zone of
the boys" and as much at home
in town as in his neigborhood
north east of the city where he
was born and raised. He is one
of the successful young farmers
of the county and had a rep
which gave him the title in base
ball circles Hans Wagner" be-
cause of his long hits, tho he
never made a hit which brot him
so much as the girl won for a
life partner.
The heartiest congratulations
to the young couple are extend

THE EUROPEAN WAR|
Russia Undoubtedly out of Game
Italy's Losses Very Heavy
France In Danger

The unexpected has happened
to Italy and Austro- -Hungarians
have captured more than two
hundred thousand Of the Italian
armies and pushing remaining
troops further into Italy An
other U. S. ship lost, the Alcedo,
cruiser patrol, was torpedoed
and twenty one missing. Russia
is undoubtedly out of the war on
the side of the allies from reports.
Internal confusion is growing
and German supremacy assert
ing itself thruout the empire.
France stands in danger of in
vasion from the south and while
Canadian troops have been ad-
vancing and making captures
and French have advanced on
the western front, the general
in command of the army in Eng
land has this to say: For all we
know the next surprise may be
an invasion of this country. Be
ready then. for any thing" That
the conditions are most serious
there can be no doubt in the
minds of those commanding the
allied armies and war admins
trations. More men badly needed
and must be had. A small party
of u. S. soldiers were surprised
in a trench. Three were killed,
five wounded and twelve captur-
ed.
The u. S. and Japan have
come to the understanding that
the open door will be maintained
in China, the special interests OF
Japan however, duly recognized
and peace with the yellow men
is supposed to be assured. Japan
may send an army to aid the al
lies. Whether with the under
standing that she gets her part
of the spoils in an equal division
by four in case of victory, as
she demanded at the outstart of
the war when she offered a half
million soldiers to the triple al
lance. has not been said.
