THE railroad war board has taken an almost revolutionary step in its decision to operate all the railway lines east of Chicago as one vast cer- tralized system in order to obtain a maximum of efficiency in traffic move ment. Cars and trackage facilities will be pooled regardless of ownership or the railroads individual interests. The plan has been worked out by the rail- road chiefs themselves and has now been growing increasingly acute not withstanding that the carriers have been handling more business than ev- CT before The decision of the railroad heads to subordinate individual in- terests to the natonal needs Is a tri- bute to ther patriotism. but SO many evidences of patriotism have been shown in all walks of life that 1t hardly receives more than passing at- tention.

FIGURES compiled by food con- servation commission in New York City show how little grains of sand make the mighty mountain, as recited in McGuffey's third reader long years back. Actual figures show that in the hotels and restaurants on Tuesday, Nov 13. the saving in meats amount ed to 96.75 tons. The saving in flour was 517 barrels or 50.6 tons. Dur ing the week the amount of meat sav- ed was 116.12 tons. By the use of whole wheat the saving in flour for the week from eschewing pastries alone was another sos tons or 620 barrels. A loaf of bread is so small a thing that the average person pays little attention to it. but of every fam lily in the nation saved one loaf week it is estimated that several hun dred thousand tons of flour would be saved. Truly this is mighty nation, when grain piled upon grain reaches such a stupendous total.

His impeachment is demanded by a large block of Seattle citizens on ac- count of the way in which he has handled-or mishandled-the vice situation exposed by the federal mili- tary. And Hi comes back at them by saying he will be a candidate at the next election. Now Gill may be fore fiusher and several other things but he is a fighter.

HOW BONDS ARE PREPARED

It is impossible for one to realize the immense task involved in the pre- paration, printing. checking and dis tributing of a large bond issue such as was subscribed in the first and second Liberty bond campaign.

 According to this correspondent, 1t required IA tons of ink to print the last issue of bonds; four tons of en- graver's steel for the dyes. rolls and plates. The paper consumed. if plac- ed in a pile sheet upon sheet, would measure 16,500 feet, or more than three miles from bottom to top. If the paper were spread upon the ground it would cover 402 acres. If loaded on the railroad it would fill eight large freight cars. If the sheets were laid upon the earth end to end they would measure 2, O9O miles. After the bond was printed on one side 1t was taken to the drying room so that the mois- ure in the ink could be evaporated. Later it was dampened again and the other side printed, whereupOn it was once more sent to the drying room. The face of the bond, because of the different colors, had to be put on the press five times. In case of the coupon bonds, such as the first issue. these coupons, too, would have to go thru the press five times. It required more than 5000 employees for the govern ment to handle these valuable papers. a small army being employed alone in the checking of the bonds.
 After the bonds were ready for de- livery they were taken to express of- fees in a long. black money wagon with three horses. it's driver and its three armed guards. This wagon con- taiped heavy steel chests for which a receipt had to be given.
 During each stage of the process of which the blank paper was turn ed into a mortgage on the farms, factories, mines, forests, ships, buildings, banks, stores and homes in the United States, the bond in the making was guarded constant ly. At any moment in the course of it's manufacture it could have been located by the official and his assist ants charged with this important work. No man, woman or child in the print shop is bonded, but none of these were permitted to leave tn building without a pass signed by the chief of the division giving to the employe an absolute clearance.
 The bonds were handled almost as precisely as the government requires the safeguarding of its paper money, with a result that it is well-nigh i'm possible for a fraud to be perpetrated.
