RAILROADS FIGHT WASTE.
Campaign to Stop Partial Loading of
Freight Cars.

With the slogan Waste by any one
of us in any sphere is aid and comfort
to the enemy, the Railway Business
Association has put blanks and forms
in the hands of all shippers to guide
them in loading ears and ordering ship
mcnts in a manner to use one cav fully
loaded in the place of two half loaded
In a statement issued yesterday, George
T. Smith. Cairman of the Association 5
Freight Car Thrift committee, said
Two purposes are to he promoted
loading ears full and handling them
promptly. Many shippers have tahu-
lated credits. debts and dcmurragc
charges. They will find it novelty to
record undertaking Some companies
have made astonishing scores in this re
Spect. The consiguor can load full if
he will, unless otherwise instructed by
the consignee. Our committee recog
nizes that commodities differ and that
in some cases cuhical capacity and
weight capacity are not equal. shippers
who are really interested in our pro-
posed economy will order of each com
moditN a quantity that is. a full load
of that commodity in a car of given
weight capacity, and test performance
by that standard.

cooperation. The authorities at Wash
ington, the Railroad War Board. and
the National Industrial Traffic league
through appeals, have aroused the zeal
and enthusiasm of shippers.

Infancy of Whist Playing.

According to an authority, whist or
"whisk," as it was called, was gener-
ally played three centuries ago. For
many years the game, under the appel
lations of "whisk" and 'Swobbers,"
was played only by servants and 9th
ers of the humber classes, and it was
not until more than century had
passed that it reached the drawing
rooms of the wealthy and the nobility.
The first mention of whist in litera-
ture was made by Taylor, the water
poet, in 1921. He refers to it as
"whisk," the name having probably
been derived from the practice of
whisking the tricks from the table as
soon as played

NOT A MAN WAS LOST.
Gen. Pershing Tells of Fitness Of Troops
Now on French Soil

WASHINGTON, July 2.-Not a man
was lost during the transfer Of the
American forces to France, and there was
not even a case of serious illness, said
Mai.-Gen. Pcrshing, the American com
mander, on his return to his headquar-
tiers at Paris Saturday after quick trip
to the port of debarkation.
The landing of the first American
troops has been complete success, he
said In this remarkable transfer of a
large force across the ocean-one of the
largest operations we have ever under
taken-not a man nor an animal was lost
or injured and there was not single case
of serious sickness nothing but a few I'M
important cases Of humps The men
landed in splendid morale, with keen,
confident and eager spirit.
The physical appearance OF our men
is truly inspiring. They are all fine,
husky young fellows with the glow OF en-
crgy, good health and physical vgog
which will make them a credit alongside
any troops They are exceptionally well
camped and cared for. with substantial
wooden barracks. good beds, good food
and the best sanitary arrangements They
are located on high ground. For all OF
this we arc deeply indebted to French co
operation with members of my staff.

the coal situation as reported to him by
the statisticians of his department
The production of coal in the United
States last year, he continued, was the
greatest in the history of the country
A new record, however, was set for the
first six months of this year, fully go
100000 tons of bituminous coal being
produced since January |, thus exceed
ing the output of the first six months
of last wear by about 20,000,000 tons.
Even better news is that the limit has
not vet been reached for as the rail
roads are able to work out to better ad-
vantage the problem of ear supply and
give to the mines greater facilities for
transporting their product to market,
the supply of coal that reaches the con
sumner will be in steadily increasing
quantities In the early months of
1917, because of the congestion of the
railroads and the difficulties of trans
portation, the production of bitumi-
nous coal fell behind the high mark set
in January and February, a year ago.
As result of the patriotic and earnest
endeavor of the railroad officials and
| the coal operators and representatives
of mine workers who have volunteered
/ tnelr services TO the 1tutEdI SONtTUllleH
in this emergency, production has been
! speeded up within the last few months
and the output of soft coal which in
May exceeded all previous records, was
surpassed in June.
Despite the extra demand in this
country and the urgent needs of our al
lies, no one with the facts before him
can doubt that the coal industry, under
the careful guidance of those now di
recting its welfare, will be able to sup
ply all needs.
The difficulty Of distribution now so
great will be intensified, however, III
the coming winter months. Just as con
sumcrs of foodstutfs are being urgeC
to eliminate all waste and to practice
sensible economy, SO the consumers OF
coal must do their share in working out
the coal problem by unloading every
i coal car as fast as it is received and
i Improving their plants so as to utiliz,
to the fullest the heat value of the
coal that reaches their bins. II
stopping the coal panic and in expedit
ing a condition of fuel sufficiency, every
consumer can do his bit.

TOWNSHEND.
jolly Meeting of the Grange.

The regular meeting of West River
Grange Friday evening proved an UNI
usually jolly occasion for the members.
The program, arranged by Ceres Flora
and Pomona, was unique and excited
much hilarious amusement. Among the
numbers were a peanut and knife race, a
nail driving contest for women, button
sewing contest for men, and an old fash
toned spelling match, which was won by
G. b, Whitney.
While arrangements were being made
Tor the various races and contests the
young people gathered at the piano and
joined in national and familiar songs, q
supply of books having been brought for
this purpose.
As final stunt the men present were
blindfolded, each given hoe, and invited
to prove his skill as a good Granger and
agricultuist by digging for potatoes. The
potatoes, when finally hoed in,
proved to be boxes of lunch, each con
tanning the name of some lady present.
Lemonade was served.
a vote of thanks was given the Grange
Patronesses for a delightful evening. The
secret of the success Of the occasion, how
ever, was that every member, without eX-
ception, took part.

FRANCE HAS MATCH FAMINE
United States Must Supply Lucifers for
Her Troops.

The United States must provide
for the soldiers it sends to Eu-
rope, for there is a match famine in
France. Consular reports from Paris say
that the much favored Swedish match
has been scarce for months and wax
matches have been exhausted for some
time. The state factories are having
the reports say, in obtaining
the raw materials, especially wood
The coal situation. the transportation
problem, the loss of vessels carrying
match wood and shortage Of special
lied labor combine to make matches
scarce in France.
The shortage is felt not only because
of the great numbers of soldiers of
other allies in France, but because the
French people are learning to use more
matches. In 1871 the whole of France
used 10000 goo matches. In 1913 the fac
tories at Pantin, Aubervillicrs, AK, Mar
settles, Trclaze, Begles and Bordeaux
manufactured 1912 100000 matches
and consumption that year was $4,000
| 700 Measures were adopted to cover
this deficit by charging factories, but
the outbreak of the war halted these
plans. In 1916 the shortage of labor
and materials resulted in a production il
France of only 10000, 000,0 900 matches
while the consumption rose to $1,000,
100000. The shortage was met by impor
tationS from the United States, Italy
Sweden, lndo China and Japan. Witt
