Under the general authority granted by the Secretary of War;
5000 soldiers from the National Army enampments will travel to

Railroad
Transportation for these be provided chiefly lines
which already severely taxed in the effort

Meantime the transportation of industrial workers engaged

temporarily Thousands Of such workers carried daily by the
Pennsylvania Railroad and traffic of vital Importance

To meet this situation successfully the Management of the
Pennsylvania Railroad therefore earnestly requests that
of patriotism pleasure travel during the Holiday period be suspended
and that railroad travel be voluntarily restricted

This will give the soldiers. who assuedly have the first claim

LOOKS LIKE n SNAP.
College Life is Looked at by Ordin-
airy Run of People as soft
Snap.

College life is looked at by tic
ordinary run of people as sc'L
snap, sheltered, protected leisure
ly life. 1t is tho light of asa kind OF
intellectual Pullman car, in which
professors and tutors pull their re-
Taxed passengers over all the heavy
grades of learning. Yet the college
student can be strenuous enough for
the causes that he holds dear.
He may not burn much midnight
electricity. But if he is playing on
a varsity team he will submit to
code of rules that the ordinary boy
would call barbarous.
Looking over the regulations for
college team, it was noted the
other day that the boys must be in
bed at O'p. m. Sweets, fried foods,
and many other commonplace of the
dinner table, were cut out. Not
many young men in business would
thus limit themselves for the prize
of business success.
Business failures are very apt 10
| be due to physical causes. People
can't stand the strain of worries and
rush times. Just on the point OF
gripping that slippery and elusive
creature Success, the coy and treaea-
erous prize slips out of their weary
grasp. The sanitariums are filled
with business men taking baths and
massage and osteopathy because
their nerves went bad
OF course people won't hold them
selves down to strict rules of living,
And routine life with no breaks 3
not wholesome in the long run. But
most young men are far too careless
in these matters. They feed them
selves as if they had the stomachs or
a camel. They sit up to all hours of
the night, taking pleasure in late
hours, as marking them out for gay,
sports and young bloods. But that
game can be played only about SO
far 1t has its sharp limits, as they
all find out. A little more of the
spirit OF the college training table
would do them lot of good.

Cash System Best.

Going in debt is one of the causes
Of the high cost OF, living in America,
hence the cash system is best.
The average American will buy
anything he can go in debt for, while
the average foreigner in the United
States will buy absolutely nothing
that he cannot pay for at the time OF
purchase.
Comparatively few of US give
much thought to the advantages to be
derived from a cash system of trad
ing. i've got to have it" satisfies III
when we want something, not mat
ter what. But if we could not get it
until the money was forthcoming we
would realize that we did not really
have to have ii.
If the purchaser would borrow
from the bank and ray cash for his
commodities-if ne must go in debt
he would find great decrease IA
the expense account, and at the end
of the year he would, after paying
interest to the bank find balance on
his side of the ledger.
A local firm once had us print Il
card which was placed in the envel-
ope with the monthly statement sent
to debtors which was as follows:
please help Bill! If you will
promptly pay this bill, then can pay
Bill the bill ! owe him; for Bill says
he can't pay his bills until he hears
from me.
There is the whole thing in nut
shell, and proves beyond the shadow
of doubt the truth of our state
ment: Cash System Best"

AUTO TAX LAW DEFECTIVE.
Fails TO Secure Payments Promptly
--iteyenues Decrease.

w. S. Allen secretary of state, is
recommending that the legislature
change the automobile registration
law so as to return to the system of
issuing number plates annually.
The, last assembly enacted a law
providing for issuing number plates
for thrAe-year period.
The secretary of state says there
will be big loss to the state by the
terms Of the new registration law
He reports that from Nov l, 1915, to
Jan. 20, 1916, the receipts of the
registration department were $685.
4S4
For the period from Nov. /, 1916,
to Jan. 26, 1917. the receipts OF the
department were $4,000. The
reduction in amount taken in IS
$276,424.
eWhile not all Of this amount is
lest to the state, 9 good portion of 1t
never will be collected" said Mr.. AL
len
"The old automobile law helped 20
enforce itself, for the reason that q
car owner who operated With a num-
Der year old advertised his failure
to register.
The Jaw provides for sending OUT
lists Of delinquent car owners TO 10
cal officials so that the fees may be
COLLECTED. That list does not go ont
until May. In the meantime car
owners will be operating their ma
chimes without paying the fee, and
many Of them never will pay.

TIE FARM LOAN BONDS.
New Form of Investment Will Soon
be Offered on Mortgages.

A new form of investment will
soon be offered in the form of the
mortgages on the property handled
by the new, farm loan banks.
Whether these bonds bring good
prices or not depends wholly on the
way these loans are handled, and
whether they are supervised in
way to give general confidence.
1t would be very easy thing for
these new bonds to get black eye.
A few repudiated debts, few poor
ly supervised loan associations, and
word would spread all over the
country that the new formsof invests
ment is. not safe. AS a consequence
borrowers might have to pay quite
as high for their money as they do
under the present plan.
The reason why farm loans at
present bring high rates of interest
is that in the past there have been
SO many losses. Investors may not
discriminate carefully, but then they
are in no position to do so. The
fact that mans father, in the de-
preston Of 20 years ago, may have
lost a thousand dollars on a loan on
an arid tract in one state, should
not discourage his son from making
a loan to some fertile farm in "a
wholly different section
But the son, living perhaps a
thousand miles from the spot where
the loan is located, is in no position
to discriminate. His fathers ex-
perience has made him cautious.
Many experiences like that have
served to raise the rate OF farm loan
interest all over the country.
The directors of the new farm
loan associations have very serious
responsibility. Unless these directors
really direct, the whole thing will be
a failure. They should give some
personal attention to the work, else
money will surely be loaned out on
poor security or to men who will let
the value OF their farms run down.
No director can assure the prosperity
and the solidity of his institution
merely by going to the annual meet
ing once year, sitting in stuffed
chair, and listening to the report Of
the manager.

Ten Hour Bill for Women.

Tho maximum hour bill for We
men, bitterly fought in the Iowa
general assembly two years ago, was
introduced in the senate last week
by Senator Greene, in almost the
same form as before, but without the
minimum wage features included in
the old bill.
Senator Greene's bill limiting the
hours in any week during which wo-
men may be employed or permitted
to work was combined by commit
tee in the Thirty-sixth general as
scmbly, with Senator Thomas mini
mum wage bill and was lost.
Senator Greene expects his bill to
rass the legislature this year.
1t provides that no woman shall
work more than fiftyfour hours IN
lany week and that no days work
shall be more than ten hours.
Special exception is made for
work in private homes, farming.
harvesting, curing, canning or dry
ing any variety of perishable fruits
or vegetables, and graduate nurses
in hospitals.
The act requires that women en-
ployes shall have at least forty-five
minutes for lunch and that they may
not work more than six consecutive
hours without a break of at least
forty-ive minutes. II
The first violation of the act car
ries a penalty of not less than SIS
and not more than $50 and subse-
quent violations subject the employ
er to fine Of from $25 to $50 for
each employe employed in violation
of the act.
