To Maintain Efficiency

With the view Of relieving the pub
lie mind Of any erroneous impression
that service on its lines is to be ser
inusly curtailcd because of the war,
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Re rail-
way company makes this announce
ment:
"It is the intention Of the Santa Fe
TO maintain tho efficiency Of its ser
vice, passenger AID freight, and to
give patrons as much notice ms pos
siblo Of any temporary changes which
may b. necessary on occouat of mill
tary emergcncies,"
Continuing this announcement says
"Tha Santa Fo several months ago,
cooperating with the Railroads War
Board at Washington, made plans for
meeting the requirements Of the gov
crnmcnt in transporting troops and
war freight promptly, ard it has been
able 20 do so TO date without seriously
disturbing business conditions, al
though owing to thc coutiuu5d heavy
travel, it has been impossible to dis
continue any Of the through passen-
ger trains. In a few instances there
have been consultations Of poorly
patronized branch line trains, but in
all such cases the company was par
ticular to see that the communities
concerned did net suffer. While every
indication is that the transportation
needs of the Santa Fc territory will
be m2t, the company asks patrons to
exercise patience when, in the stress
Of an emergency, the service is not
100 per cent.
Having the backing Of all Of the
railroads and the government, and al
so the cooperation Of most shippers,
the War Board has greatly increased
the capacity Of the country's transpar-
tation facilities, mainly in bringing |
about heavier freight car loading. |
Many shippers volunteered TO load |
cars to capacity, or nearly so; others, |
upon request promptly agreed to in
crease their loading; still others prom
iscd to do the best they could. The |
spirit manifested by the shippers, gen
orally, has been fine; for the greater
use Of existing freight equipment is
the outgrowth Of friendly cooperation
on the part Of the railways and their
patrons, rather than by force Of law.
"As result Of the unity Of action
on the part Of the carriers, every
available freight car in the United
States is in .sc. Once a week there
Is a redistribution Of cars among the
lines which need them the most, re-
Of ownership, thus eliminat-
ing waste. This has helped maoerial-
y in increasing the efficiency Of the
service. On May /, ehe country was
short 100000 cars. On August ! the
shortage had been reduced to 33,776." j

WORK OF EXEMPTION BOARD
Prowers County Board Still Busy With
Little Prospect OF Rest for Present

Chairman l. c. Downing, Secretary
L. NJ. Markham and DR.. W. 0. Shel-
Ter Of the local county exemption
board have been as busy as ever tn,
past week examining the new class on
drafted men, and passing on claims
Also they have had to consider tn,
new rule given out by the war de
partment in response TO the letters
President Wilson written in reply t
questions asked by Senator Weeks au
Secretary Baker. The President
MS usual expert literary style refuse
to actually commit himself on the sub
jac. but at the same time makes
Obvious that he does not wish Marie,
men drafted unless ,hey have a hAeo
income on investments sufficient t.
support the family.
This ruling was received on TUESDAY
of this week The former ruling
tie war department had been just tho
reverse that married men were not
to be exempted unless drafting then
would leave their families a charge o.
the county. Immediately upon re
ceipt of the new ruling the local board
examined the rules governing theh
work TO see if they could reverse then
former action in calling some eight O
nine young married men into service
but finding they had no authority {
do so they unanimously passed a res
olution requesting the district boar,
at Pueblo TO reverse their findings Il
all these cases as in no case did tn
drafted man come in the class men
toned by the President as those VIII,
ought to serve. The future action OF
the board will be governed by tho
district boards Interpretation of thi.
latest official ruling. The members OF
the board made a special trip to Pu-
eblo and Denver to get advice from
those supposed to know before max
ing their first ruling, and everywhere
the matter was handled just as it wa
here.
The following table shows the worl,
of the board since the last call was
made.

PARIS NOTES.
What the Parisians Are
Turning Out For Spring.

What is lost In the width OF the new
skirts for spring is added TO the length
In the proportion of a yard 10 an inch.
Skirts are now inches longer aud Ger
tainly yards narrower Where they
were ten and twelve inches from the
ground, they are now six or seven As
II this were not change enough there
is new silhouette introduced. and
that Is one that closely resembles
barrel as far as the skirt Is concern.
ed. This is probably inspired by the
Turkish skirt that was shown by sew
eral of the couturiers last spring. At
any rate, there are number of the
largest creators in paris who show
skirts of this description
Paquln uses 1t In an afternoon gown
with Russian blouie effect In the
fastenings of the buttons down one
side. Otherwise the frock has straight
lines--that Is, the waist IL not fitted
snugly as II is In many OF the new
spring creations.
Jenny fashions coat with this ton
neau" or barrel skirt of light gray
broadoloth made with the trimming
OF many rows OF stitching In darker
shade of gray. The barrel effect IL In
trodnced between straight panels In
the front. sides and back Of the coat.
Even coat suits are showing the bar
rel skirt, and one sponsored by an
expert is of checks Of blue and white,
trimmed with Roumanlan embroidery.
The jacket Of this suit Il hip length.
as are many of the suits for sDring for
this house.
Premet uses this type of skirt in an
afternoon frock Of two materials
They are joined just below the hips,
and at this point the skirt Is much
wider than at the bottom where 1t Is
drawn In considerably.
From these various couturicrs IL win
be seen that there is every chance that
skirts of this description will be very
much the mode for the early spring
frock. They are not unattractive. es
pecially If they are not exaggerated
In line. Most OF the frocks with such
a skirt are sure to have the waist tit a
bit more snugly. for the outline then Is
wider at the shoulders than at the
waist, when the line goes In. and 1t un-
dulates from that point TO greater
width at the knees and narrows con
siderably at the bottom

Suffrage Score at Present Is States
With 135 Electoral Votes.
The suffrage map has, since the
beginning of the present year, been
undergoing rapid changes. North
Dakota, Ohio, and Indiana have, in
the first two months of the year,
granted their women presidential and
municipal suffrage. The Maine SEN
ate has voted unanimously in favor
of the constitutional amendment to
grant full suffrage to women. 1t
had passed the house by 113 to 35.
The amendment will go to the voters
in September. With women now
participating in 1876 electoral votes,
whoh can foresee what the end of
1917 may register in suffrage VIC
tories?
Ontario has just conferred on its
women full proincial suffrage, being
the fifth of the Canadian provinces
to take this step. In announcing the
governments position, Premier
Hearst said
Having taken our women into
our tremendous task, can we justly
leny them a share in the government
of the country, the right to have a
say about the making of the laws
they have been so heroically trying
to defend? | think not"

Thrift and the Teachings of Jesus.
Jesus was Jew He was taught
to work. Ills hands had driven the
plane and pushed the saw He was
subject to His parents parents. Like
all lsraclites they were people Of
thrift Saving was a virtue with Jo4
seph and Mary. They were not rich.
They we're simply thrifty and happy.
No wonder Jesus knew how to save.
Did you note what he said after the
five thousand had been fed: Take
up the fragments that nothing may
be wasted" The Lord of creation
was obedient to the law of conserva-
ton: That there be no waste"
Wastefulness about our eating ha-
bits counts largely against us. Sec
cetary houston says seven millions
Of dollars are wasted in American
kitchens every year. What We eat
may make US fat, but what we waste
from our eating certainly makes Us
poor, Seven millions of dollars vast
ed annually in our kitchens. That is
seven dollars per person or thirty
five dollars per family. And still we
say we are Christian people. But
Christ said: Take up the fragments
that nothing be lost" Is it not time
for US to take practical view of
Christianity to say and know and
do all Christ told US to do! How
simple, how beautiful, how practical
were His life and His words! When
we teach and practice the doctrines
of Christ we teach and practice the
doctrines Of thrift. Any child can
