How much will that exchange cos,
me? Not even postage stamp.
Who will do it for me? Any bank,
banker or broker.
What do they get out Of it? My
thanks, but nothing else.
Why do such bankers and other men
like Mr.. Stotesbury give so much time
to selling Liberty Bonds if they get
nothing out Of it but thanks? That

RAILROADS DO THEIR PART
More Coal carried This year in Spite
of Tremendous Passenger and Army
Supply Shipments, than in any Pre-
yiOus Year.


Supply Shipments, than in any Pre-.
viOus Year.
Boston, Oct. 6-"Reports just COM
piled for the Railroads War Board in
dicate that unless something unfor-
seen occurs the amount of anthracite
coal transported by the railroads this
year will exceed the tonnage of any
previous year by considerable
amount. According to the reports,
which show the operation of the nine
anthracite railroads, the aggregate
anthracite tonnage transported by
these roads during the eight month
period ending August 31st this year
was 7,G63,382 tons more than in the
same period last year, an increase of
l7l3 pcr cent.
To produce this increase the anthra-
cite roads carried a gross tonnage Of
52,23i ,445 tons as against 44,623, ,063
for the first eight months of 1916.
The increase for the month of August
alone, this year, over August 1916,
was 1,5S3,609 tons or 1886 per cent.
The July increase was 24.38 per cent,
and the June increase 25.24 per cent.
These figures indicate that recent
reports to the effect that there has
been a severe curtailment in the pro-
duction and distribution Of anthracite
coal are based upon rumor rather than
facts.

STILL FIGHTING
 TO SAVE FISH
 FOR KETCHIKAN

WASHINGTON.-(Special) = The federal shipping board on March z took hand in the work of protecting the Alaska fisheries against Canada by refusing to transfer the American boat Venture to American registry. It is declared that the Canadian regu- lations offered tempting inducements for such transfers but they give Americans no opportunity for free competition in the fisheris trade but subject the consumers of fish brought into America to monopolistic price manipulation. It is also declared that the Canadian regulations, if not off set, would bring the Alaska fleet op- erating in Ketchikan under Canadian registry and it's producet irto Prince Rupert.

DRAMATIC FILM
 AT THE EMPRESS

"The Woman" by William c. De Mile, originally produced in dramatic form by David BelascO, is fascinat- ing combination of political and do- meStic intrigue. Jim Blake is the boss of one of the political rings at Washington, and is doing his utter most to pass a bill that will wrongly favor the railroads. He is opposed by a young reformer by the name of Matthew Staudish. The sympathy of the public is so clearly with Standish that Blake sees his bill will be doomed unless something can be done to dis credit his opponent. Subsequent events show the manner in which his plot is foiled by brave little tele- phone operator. The great dramatic surprise comes with the revelation of the identity of "The Woman"
