RAILROADS HAVE
Big UNDERTAKING
TRANSPORTATION of Troops to Can.
tOnments will Tax Their
Every Facility

Plans for the movement of over a
million men-the largest troop move
ment in the history of the country
are now being perfected by the Ameri-
can Railway association at the request
of the United States government. Al
together 6S7, 900 men will have to be
transported to the various canton
ments now building to house the new
national army, and 100000 national
guardsmen are even now being as
sembled at their camps.
This was the announcement made by
C. j. Mcdonald, who, as general agent
of the Western Department headquar-
tiers of the association, is perfecting
the details out here. E---
sThe movement will start about
September 5th," said Mcdonald. "Be-
tween that date and September 9th,
the roads will complete the entrain-
ment of 100000 men, or about thirty
per cent of the total to be moved to
the camps. Ia. ......... i.
cit is expected that second move
ment of another 100000 will begin on
September 10Th, continuing for four
days thereafter; and third movement
of the same size will start on October
End. Val. @ ..
can idea of the task in making out
schedules that will guarantee the safe
and prompt transportation of these
armies may be CLEANED from the fact
that, to move merely one field army of
$4,000 takes 6,229 cars, made up into
366 trains, with as many locomotives
and crews. And there are over twelve
times as many men concerned in the
plans we are now working out.
"We have also been asked for trans
portation to carry the $4,000 members
of the national guard to their training
camps. The national guard movement
has already started and will continue
in increasing volume until all have
been moved.
Shippers and receivers of freight
have been appealed to by the car SER
vice commissions, and can greatly help
if they will cooperate with respect to
commercial freight, keeping in mind
the herculean task the roads are per-
forming in handling this enormous
traffic"

MAN AND HIS NECKTIE.
The Mystery That cloaks the Fate of
Discarded Cravats.

0iSCdTuSo STdSahSs
Every morning we stand before the
mirror, flap the large end over and
around, push it behind and up draw it
carefully through. 1t becomes a habit,
and yet. like dining, it has certain
fascination. The keen pleasure of a
make a whole week brighter. And that
dread day when white spot appears
in the center of the front of our favor
lite green one or when the beloved
brown parts internally and while APP
pearing the same without tells us that
it is gone forever-that day our coffee
is bitter and tine mercury low.
But we never cruelty desert a faith
full friend For couple of times after
the white spot appears we try to tie it
farther up or low down, usually with
pathetically Intellectual results. And
then we pasture it back somewhere on
the rack with the bow ties that are not
to our taste any more and the selec-
lions made by worthy aunt at re-
duction sale and let it enjoy quiet old
age.
Somehow eventually It disappears.
We do not know how. Perhaps care
less maid drops it in a wastebasket or
a plotting wife makes way with it.
But most probably, like old watches
and college textbooks, it has some I'M
seen heaven Of its own whittier 1t Is
waited after its life among us is over.

She was demure little woman, with
a baby. AS the car was crowded with
shoppers, she did not put up the little
one. who was old enough to sit up, on
the seat beside her. She carried 1t on
her lap and made room for a fierce
looking big man, with a newspaper.
The child kicked its tiny legs In delight
at the strange things it saw while rid

Spain is to have national parks SINH

suant to q recent law the government
will select especially picturesque tracts
of land, incorporate them in a ma

that visitors may reach them easily
and preserve the natural features OF
such tracts from deterioration. Ad-

LEARN TO SAVE.
Acquire the Habit of Spending Less
Than You Earn,

Than You Earn.
Americans are not as thrifty as the
people Of many other nations. Saw
ings bank statistics show this. Our
money comes too easily, even In nor
NAL times. We feed the garbage pals
too well. We ignore the little short
cuts of economy. We forget the com
ing rainy day i'm our enjoyment of the
present fair day.
And If savings bank reports are not
enough, turn to the figures of the actu-
ries. See how few men, for instance,
reach the period of natural retirement
with enough of an estate accumulated
to keep them through the remaining
years of their lives See how many
are compelled to toll for daily pit
lance beyond the time when they
should have the privilege of retiring
to ease on the income of their savings
or are left stranded because unable to
work.
All industry is built on the savings
of those who at some time have learn
ed the wisdom Of putting aside some
portion or their earnings as an invest
ment. Abolition of thrift would mean
the abolition of organized business. 1t
would hardly be an exaggeration to
say it would mean the abolition of civ
ilization itself.
Save-save a little. Get the habit
of spending less than your income.
Make some banker your friend. Have
stake In the community. Stretch the
pay envelope a little farther than
merely to the next pay day. Buy a
home. Don't float: anchor!
Trite words, these. Certainly. But
it is astonishing how many people
there are i'm the United States who
have never taken them to heart
