u. P. BREAKS RECORDS
Road Moves Freight Cars on Average
67.7 Miles a Day.

The Union Pacific railroad is break
ing records in doing a full days work
these days in an effort to offset the
tremendous increases in wages and in
the cost of supplies, and a days work
means twenty-four hours. While the
officials of the company are urging
shippers to cooperate in this effort
by loading freight equipment to as
near maximum loading capacity as
possible, and urging them also to load
and unload more promptly, the COM
pany itself has broken all records in
the matter of the prompt movement
of cars.
For the month of May, 1917, the
Union Pacific railroad reached the I'M
usually high total for the movement of
all cars of ST. miles per day. What
this means to Union Pacific patrons
is illustrated by the fact that on the
railroads thruout the country freight
cars of all kinds are moved at an av-
erage of approximately twenty-six
miles per day.
For the year ending December 81,
1916, the Union Pacific railroad han
died all freight cars at an average rate
Of 62-5 miles per day, a record which
was already far in advance of the av-
erage on other railroads.
During the month of May, the Pa
cific Fruit Express cars were moved
at the rate of 107 miles per day All
foreign line cars passing over the
Union Pacific were moved at the rate
of S7.9 miles per day, and even cars
loaded at points on the Union Pacific
railroad were moved at the rate of
48.5 miles per day, or almost twice as
much as the average movement of
freight equipment thruout the coun-
Try. This also is an increase over the
year 1916, during which period the
average movement of cars loaded at
stations on the Union Pacific was
forty-seven miles per day. The for
eign cars were also moved faster, the
figures for 1916 being sixty-eight
miles per day as compared to S7.9
for the month of May.
Nearly 81 per cent of the business
banded by the Union Pacific railroad
| originates at points on it's own Ines.

Watch Everything You Throw
Away, Miss Hazen Urges.
100 Million Persons Must Modi-
fly Food Habits.
PROBLEMS GROWING WORSE
Food Shortage Will Not End
With Peace Treaty.
Then We VIII Feed Enemies
and Allies, Too.

Lawrence, Kan, July 25.-"Is it
waste to feed stale bread to chick
ens?''
Miss Gertrude Hazen. instructor in
home economics in the University of
| Kansas, asked that question at the
second meeting of the university's
special class in Hooverizing, or learn
ing to eat and save at the same time.
Observe closely in the kitchens of
your homes" Miss Hazen continued.
'See what you throw away to the
chickens or elsewhere. Think about
it and we'll discuss it in class. Also
study the first chapter in Feeding
the Family by Mary Swartz Rose,
the best book for this class, 1 believe,
and a book every housewife should
have.
THE government is trying to i'm
press upon all America the great need
! of conserving food and increasing
| food production. The only way to
win the war is to save the food. Mr..
Hoover, governmental food admins
traitor, has asked that some of the
to impress further the Importance of
this work. For that reason these re-
marks are given, in part, from Mr.
Hoover's outline.
1.-The task facing the American ma
ton is harder than that of organizing
and equipping efficient armies. 1t is
to modify the food habits of the 100
millions of our people so that the
needed increased supplies may be
furnished. Only thru cooperation, in
which as a nation we have had little
experience, can we accomplish this.
Food Supply Short.
This year there is not enough food
in the world for the worlds needs.
| That is the fact, whether the war be
long or short and regardless of it's
outcome. The United States and Can
ada can send to our allies this year
only 800 million bushels of wheat and
they need 500 million bushels from US.
Argentina, normally an exporting
country, reports barely enough wheat
i for its own needs. Bad management,
the employing of old men, overworked
women and listless prisoners in the
/ fields of Europe has reduced greatly
| the food yield there, helped along by
| submarines sinking boat after boat
| loaded with nitrates and fertilizers.
! "Our allies must have more food
| than they can raise and we must send
| them more than we can spare. Meth
| er producers, nor dealers, nor con-
sumers can effect this alone. 1t can
not be done by legislation. Only by
. cooperation, universal, generous,
! whole-souled, decisive, can we do it
! This cooperation must begin in the
| home. Mother, father, children are
equally concerned and equally under
obligation to enter the partnership

IT'S A NEW PROFESSION
Demand for Community Directors Is
Greater Than the Supply.

Pittsburg, Kan, July 25.-Nearly
every town needs a community con-
ductor and most of them are de-
manding their needs be filled now.
The State Manual Training Normal
is turning out community conductors.
All of the present supply has been
exhausted, however.
A community conductor is a per-
son primarily who can take the lead
ership in community musical events.
Under the present order of things
such a person generally is employed
to direct music in the public schools.
Using the schools as a base, the
community director spreads the work
out among the grownups and the re-
suit is a chorus of some sort in
show for all the people.
A year ago Prof Walter McCray,
head of the music department, es-
tablished a course for supervisors of
music. Prospective supervisors were
taught how to teach music in the
schools. But the demand has in
creased the scope of the work of
supervisors. Cities constantly in
creasing in number desire their SUI
pervisorS to be more than merely
teachers of music. They want them
to be leaders not only for the chill
dren but for the people generally.
They want them to originate and pro-
mote events in which many persons
can participate and which all may
enjoy.
So Professor McCray has been fit
ting pupils not only to supervise but
to fill this other place that public
demand has created. And McCray
himself demonstrates how the other
job should be filled for he occupies
it in Pittsburg. A notable illustra-
ton of the work lies in the patriotic
songfest given at Pittsburg in lieu of
fireworks the night of July 4. One
nd nRTSnnS from several CiriaS
