Our Business Men "Slackers. -

Crescent City, Nov 6, 1917.
Editor Of The News:
Despite the inclement weather Mon
day evening, the annual meeting of
the board Of trade was we'll attended
and the interest and enthusiasm shown
by those present was all that could
be asked for. But one thing about
that meeting struck me very forcibly
not one merchant doing business in
Crescent City was present. Now
thls is all wrong. The principle OBJ
jet Of board Of trade, as | under
~-nd it, is to build and encourage
oySiness, and if anybody is going to
hgnefit from its activities it is the
merchant doing business in the town.
| would strike man with a humor-
Gus turn of mind as rather ludicrous
to see a crowd of orange growers,
'armers and private citizens meeting
tn advance the aims of 4 board of
,rade while the merchants of the town
stay away and let the other fellows
work for them. The orange growers
ard others are perfectly willing to do
heir share-they are and have been
}oing that-but wont you, Mr.. Mer-
'hant, wake up to the fact that this
,o2rd of trade is YOUR affair, and
ONE in and do your bit to build up
escent City and build up YOUR
llSiness?
w. F. GLYNN.
President, Board of Trade.

ONLY A VOLUNTEER.

Why didn't | wait to be drafted.
And be led to the train by a band,
And put in my claim for exemption.
Oh why didn't I hold up nv hands
Why didn't wait for the BANQUET
Why didn't wait to be cheered,
For the drafted man gets the credit.
While only Volunteered.
And nobody gave me a banquet,
-, Nobody said kind word,
The puff of the engine, the grind Of
the wheels,
Was all the good-by that l heard
Then off to the training camp hus-
tied,
10 be trained for the next half a
year,
And in the shuttle forgotten,
| Was Only a Volunteer.
And perhaps some day in the future.
When my little boy sits on nv knee
And asks what I did in this great
War,
And his little eyes look up at me,
will vi have to look back in those eyes.
That at me so trustingly peer.
And tell him | wasn't Drafted.
Was Only A Volunteer.

Washington, d. c. Sept. Is, 1917
Fairfax Harrison, Chairman Of
the Railroads War board, author
ICES the following: Some concep-
ton of the efforts the railroads
of this country are making to
handle the tremedous increase in
freight traffic which the war has
produced may be CLEANED from a
report just completed by the
Commission on Car Service.
The report shows that during
the four months period between
May 1st and August 31st this
year, lis, 152 empty freight ears
were ordered into the South and
Southwest to protect the move
ment of grain and other food
products and assure the prompt
delivery of the millions of feet of
lumber needed by the Govern
ment for the cantonments and
shipyards. Several thousand of
these cars were also used to faci-
litate the movement of phosphate
rock and other materials needed
in the manufacture of munitions.
The cotton carrying railroads al
so received large consignments
of "emgties" to enable them. to
meet the beginning of cotton
and the cottonseed movement.
Most of the cars moved into
the South and Southwest are own.
ed by roads operating in other
sections of the country. They
were moved, however, regardless
of ownership into the district
where they were most needed.
The prompt compliance of the
roads owning them with the or
ders of the Commission on Car
Service averted what might easi.
ly have been one of the worst
freigh congestions in the history
of the country. AS the lines in
the South and Southwest have
been called upon to transport an
unexampled volume of freight
since the United States entered
the war, the movement of lum.
ber for commercial purposes has
been unusally heavy, md added
to that has been the Govern
ment's demand for the Ga, 600 car.
loads Of timber needed in the
construction of the training camps
for the new national Army and
the thousands of other carloads
that are being rused from the
southern forests the shipyards on
the Atlantic coast.

LOUISVILLE BRANCH OF
"a THE RAILROADS WAR BOND

Coincident with the lumber move.
menr, grain, melons, vegetables
and other food products have
created a demadd for cars that
would have been impossible to
meet if the railroads of the count
ry had not voluntarily agreed to
merge their competitive activ-
tiles and operate as one system
during the period of war. This
agreement made possible the
shifting of empty cars into dis
tricts that would have been vir-
tualiy buried under the abnor-
NAL amount of freight accumul-
oted in them if the local lines had
not received help from their COM
petitors,
At the present time hundreds
of entity cars are still being rush.
ed into the South to assure the
prompt movement of all Govern
ment orders for lumber. Humid
reds of other "empties" are 60
ing into the central states to
protect the grain crop. the trans
portation of which is now being
complicated by the fact that dur
ing the next six weeks, when
the grain movement will be at its
height, the railroads will be oh
liged to run a large number of
special passenger trains to carry
the 6S7, 900 citizen soldiers to the
cantonments.
Long trains of stock cars are
also moving into Western Texas
so that the thousands of heads of
cattle that are threatened by the
drought there may be moved in
to more fertile pasturage.
The railroads operating in
Maine will soon receive an extra
consignment of empty cars to en-
abl them to handle che potato
crop.
Aa summary of the roads that
received consignmens of empty
cars from other roads during the
four months period ending Aug.
31st. togater with the number of
cars sent to each, is as follows:-
Alabama and Vicksburg, TAO;
Alabama, Tennessee and North
ern, 1,012; Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe. 500; atlanta, Birming-
ham and Atlantic, 1875; Atlantic
Coast Line, $500; Carolina,
