Railroads Increase Efficiency

At the monthly meeting Of the Den

held in Denver on the evening of Sep
timber 18th, Mr.. Geo. w. Martin, gen
cral agent Rock Island lines at Den

licity committee, commission on M

length the important part the rail

war, which could never have reached
such magnitude without adequate and
efficient transportation facilities, and
reviewing the patriotic action of our
own railroads in establishing the war
board and placing their property and
services at the disposal of the gov
eminent in aid of its war preparations,
said in part:
AT the commencement Of the Euro
pean war, in August 1914, the rail-
roads had just completed the most un-
profitable fiscal year they had ex-
perienced in the past fifteen years.
Shortly thereafter orders from the
belligorcnts for munitions and food
supplies created a demand for addi-
tisnal cars and power far in excess
of that available. The demand made
upon the railroads at that time could
not possibly have been foreseen by the
carriers, or provided for in advance
by such Of them as might have had
the money or credit to purchase the

GOVERNMENT WILL NOT CON
FiSCATE HOME CANNED
FOODSTUFFS
Report Calculated to Discourage Home
Canning and Preserving Branded
As False BY u. S. AuthOri-
ties

A widely circulated statement has
been promulgated in the country that
the fovd administration at Washing
ton would seize canned goods and food
supplies in the homes if it was found
that the supply exceeded a certain
amount. This has caused some peo-
pie to hesitate in increasing the home
supply of these products. One state
ment was to the effect that the gov
cumcnt would take all canned goods
in excess of one hundred cans and
another is that the government off
cials have been encouraging an in
creased supply with the purpose of
scizing a portion Of them.
The authorities state emphatically
that no such course has been contcm-
plated by the government. On the
contrary, every effort has been made
that the supply should be increased
by the housewives and boys and girls
So that the homes would be well sup
piled and thus not be compelled to
draw upon commercial sources for
their food products, and would in a
measure at least cheaper the cost Of
living,
This false impression which has
gained a somewhat wide circulation
should be corrected by a wide pub
licity Of the facts as stated above

that the third quota Of the county's

ing only II men from which to select
the 30 that are called, The local
board have passed 80 names up to the

pected that the board at Pueblo will
certify in enough names before the
first Of the month TO enable the local
board to fiji out the quota Many cases
are still in dispute and there arc stir
new rules with regard TO exemptions
being made every day, so il is hard to
tell just what will be the final out

Hoffman-McClure

On Wednesday afternoon, Septem-
Der 10, 1917, at the parsonage of the
Lamar Baptist church occurred an
event of much interest to their many
friends, resident and nonresident, viz 4:
the marriage Of Miss Elizabeth Ber-
tha Hoffman Of Carlton, Colorado, 10
Mr. Oscar b. Mcclure of Palm Beach,
Florida.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. T. +. Kelly in the presence Of
Mrs. Kelly, Miss Mary Meyers, Mrs.
Rose Hoffman and Mrs. VIM. Clark, a
sister and a cousin respectively Of the
bride.
The couple left Immediately on No.
u for the land Of flowers" purpos-
ing to stop enroute at Thomas, Okla
homa, to visit the parental home of
the groom.
For the past four years Miss Hoff-
man has been the courteous and ac-
commodating postmistress at Carlton
and has won for herself in that ca
pacity a large circle Of friends, who
now viii miss her unfailing kindness,
but who also extend sincerest best
wishes for her future happiness in the
new home over which she will so
queenly preside.
Until three years ago Mr.. Mcclure
was a citizen Of Carlton, engaged in
farming, and none speak his name but
to praise. so sure a place in the es-
teen Of his fellow townsmen did he
carve for himself.
In the summer Of 1914 he became
a voluntary exile in the far south, To-
eating in the prosperous farming sec
ton Of the lake region adjacent to
Palm Beach, Florida, where he has
built up a successful truck farm.

WHEAT RAISING THEN AND NOW
Quarter Century Experience in Rais-
ing Wheat Shows Great Variation
in the Industry Here

In talk with an experienced farm
er, who has been engaged in raising
wheat under the Fort Lyon canal for
over a quarter century, we learned Of
some interesting facts with regard t.
the industry's growth and prosperity
in this section. When he started to
raise wheat in 1891, he had to haul
his crop to the mill at Las Animss.
a distance of nearly 40 miles and Whss
he arrived he received sixty cents per
bushel for his load and came back the
next day. After the construction Of
the Lamar mill there was consider
able improvement. The price WA
generally quite a little higher and he
could make the trip to mill in about
three-quarters of a day. Since ths
building of the branch line railway
and the elevator at May Valley ne car
make two trips to the elevator in on.
afternoon, and the price has bees
growing until most Of his crop this
season brought $3.50 per bushel, al
though now he is getting only the gov
ernment price. He says that while
he couldn't buy any Liberty Bonds on
the proceeds Of farming under IN.
conditions prevailing in 1891, still he
managed to get along. It lookE there
fore as if it ought to be quite profit
able under present conditions. Alfalfa
hay at that time was bringing from
50 to SO per ton in the stack, and sine.
the establishment Of the meal mills
has never been less than Sc in the
stack. This year it is selling for s1s
per ton in the stack. This year he ia
getting four crops of alfalfa with
good yield for each crop, and over 80
bushels per acre Of wheat. Twenty
five years ago the biggest yields were
seldom over 30 bushels to tho acre

CHEAPER sCABIEs DIP APPROX
ED
u. 5. Department of Agriculture Per
mits the Use of Weak Nickotin
Solution Without Sulphur

Washington, D. c., Sept. 24.-Thc
use of a weak solution of nicotin in
dipping scabby sheep and cattle is
approved in an order issued today by
the secretary of agriculture. This dip
ping solution differs from the hitherto
to required, by the elimination Of sui
phur
Changes have been made following
u series of careful experiments in the
effort to cheaper the expense Of dip
ping scabby cattle and at the same
time to insure the effectiveness Of
such treatment Due largely to the
heavy requirements for sulphur in war
industries, the price Of this element
has greatly increased. In the dip as
formerly made up, therefore, two COM
parativcly costly substances were
uaed. It is believed that the elimina-
ton Of one of these substances will
materially decrease the cost Of this
dip.
In addition to approving the use of
dipping solution in which nicotin is
the active agent, the United States
department Of agriculture also ap-
proves the use of lime and sulphur
solution in the official dipping Of sheep
and cattle for scabies.

account of the demands of the bellig-
ercnts for locomotives and cars t.

needs being so much greater thar ours
it became almost impossible for our
railroads to secure additional equip
ment, even at the greatly cdvauccd
prices demanded by thc manufactur-
ers. From August 1915 to April 1917
at which time this country entered the
war, it was felt that our trangp5rta-
tion facilities had been taxed to thoi
utmost; but the new conditions Great
ed by our declaration of war have
placed greatly increased responsible
tics on the railroads Of the country.
VIII the railroads be able to carry thi
added burden? Only by the strictast
cooperation between the government.
he railroads and the people ard the
most economical use of equipment.
"As evidence Of what can be ac-
complished, will state that the war
board at Washington, with the aid OF
sub-organizations throughout the
country and the cooperation Of the
shippers. has accomplished wonders
in a period of four months. The box
cars Of all railroads have been pooled
and placed at the disposal Of the gov
ernment's war board at Washington.
100000 freight cars have been order
ed to points where they We're most
needed, regardless Of ownership. The
accumulation Of freight at eastern
terminals which amounted to $4,000
cars in February has been practically
cleaned up. The number Of untitled
orders for cars has been reduced from
I4s,OOO on May 1 to 81 ,597 on Sep
tember lst, an improvement Of rs per
cent. The average loading per car
has been increased over so per cent
These are only few Of the things
which have been accomplished withia
the past few months. Our efforts to
assist the government are still uu-
abated and the appeal still goes out
TO every shipper or receiver Of freight
to help US in the ways we are con
tinually pointing out to them. Every
one can cooperate in some way, and
each and every one should look out
for an opportunity to do his bit in
adding TO the success OF this great
work. Remember you are not doing
it for the benefit Of the railroads, but
for your country and to protect your
own interests. Let US make the gov
ernment's requirements and the needs
Of the nation Of paramount import
ance to the question Of our own needs
and conveniences. It may be more
convenient or you to DO business along
the old lines and continues to sell and
ship minimum car loads, at the ex-
pense Of car waste, but in this emor-
gency, the garment must be cut TO

pect the car service Of the railroads
to be cut to fit your special convent
ence. On the contrary you should
