LARGEST TRANSPORTATION IN
HISTORY.
Railroads Must Move Freight Faster
to Have Equipment to
Move Soldiers.

Chicago, Sept. 90 1t would require
l,161. ITO freight cars to carry the en-
tire grain crops as estimated for this
year, II each Car was loaded as the
average car was last year with grain
A large share of the cereals grown will
never leave the farms, but the amount
which will be shipped by rail is certain
to swell the car shortage
The grain movement from the west
will be at it's height during the next six
weeks-iust at the time when the rail
roads will be engaged in the largest
troop movement in the history OF the
country. They will have to transport
from the various states to the sixteen
military environments over 65O, 600 men
men drafted for the new army. Many
special trains will be required for them,
which may considerably reduce the
number of locomotives available. for
regular passenger and freight service.
Grain exchanges and boards of trade
are warning all buyers and shippers OF
grain that the best means to prevent
most serious shortage in cars is toad
every car to the marked capacity at
least, and to load end unload every car
rs quickly as possible.
The railroads own 2. 100000 freight
cars in all, of which only about mil
lion are box cars, and available for
hauling grain. An average increase in
loading of only two tons per car would
be equivalent to adding over 200, 900
cars to the number available for public
use.
PLAN TO MOVE FREIGHT FASTER
The Car Service Commission Of the
American Railway Association has pro-
mulgsted new rule designed to reduce
delays in the movement of freight.
Except in the larger business centers,
shippers frequently fail to furnish bills
Of lading or shipping tags to local
agents. This causes indefinite delay in
the movement of freight from the ship
ping point, If the agent holds the
freight until a proper way bill can be
made out.
1t has been a common practice of
agents at the smaller towns and ship.
ping points to load into cars freight
without regular wsybills for it, AS
result. large number of cars have been
held at Interchange points and at desti
nations of shipment, in many cases for
long periods.
To avert such delays in future of
freight and cars, on October 1 will go
into effect the new rule of Car Service
Commission that no carload or less
than carload freight is to be loaded into
cars until accomp' MED by regular way
bills fully filled out.

Death of ". A. Wood.

Mir. W. A. Wood, age about 62 years, died on Wedne sday night of last week, at his home, on South Main Street, this city, af- ter an illness of many months from paralysis and nervous breakdown. Mir. Wood was one of Monticello's oldest and best citizens. His home had been in this city since his boyhood, and he had been identified with the business interests of the place, as merchant and owner of the Cotton Compress, but during his last years had retired from ac- tive busy city life, and engaged in farming and stock raising, on his farm adjoining the city limits, where he owned, in a contln- uous body, 1900 or 2000 acres of land.
 He was always quiet and peace-lovlng and most agreeable in all his dealings with his fel- bowman. He was the soul of honor, never stopping to mean or dishonorable act, and his walk through life was upright and worthy, at all times, of emulation.
 He was conscientious and consistent Christian gentleman, having united with the Baptist Church during his boy-hood days, and remained steadfast in the faith until the end. He was a devoted husband, a kind father, and most useful and helpful citizen.
 He is survived by his wife, one daughter, Mrs. Irma Curry, of this city, and three sons, Messrs. Turner and Clifford Wood, of this city, and Jack Wood, of Walnut Lake. He is, also, survived by three brothers, Mir z. J. Wood and Judge z. T. Wood, of this city, and Associate Justice Carroll D. Wood, of the Supreme Court, of Little Rock, and one sister, Mrs. Mattie Norris, of Oklahoma, besides many other relatives.
 The funeral services were held at the family residence at 2:30 p. m., on last Thursday, after which the remains were inferred in Oakland Cemetery, this city.
 Our sincere sympathy is ex- tended the bereaved family.

Laws which, apparently, inter fere with personal liberty are the hardest to enforce and the easiest to evade. To many Of the old-time Arkansans, the game.laws were an invasion of their sacred domains, and they keep right on, killing game in season and out of season, only now denying themselves the sat isfaction of Dragging to their neighbors about the size of the bu ok killed or the number of points on the antlers.
 The state wide prohibition law which made 1t a heinous of- fense to manufacture spurious, vinous or malt liquors, only caused the people who make their wine to be d little more quiet in it's making aud a good deal more selfish in it's use. There are some people, and compara lively speaking, good people, who believe a little home made
 vine is good for the stomach sake, and they see no particular reason why they should not have 1t in their homes, and they have 1t, law or no law. The same will prove true of the "bone dry" law, if construed out of all reason. Many good men, that is to say of the average of our citizenship, will slip a pint in their hip. pocket and cross the the dead line with 1t when the opportunity arises. Too much law invites law violation.

From the efforts being made, the number of recruiting officers sent out, and the amount of lit erature being circulated, 1t would appear that Uncle Sam" IS ex- periencing difficulty in getting men for his army. This is rath- CT a deplorable condition for the country to fall into. It is, ol course, honorable and creditable for people to be peaceable and prefer peace to war; but when war or insults are thrust upon them, without cause, or blame on their part, 1t is wardly and degrading not to resent them. Every able bodied man in the nation should, at all times, be willing to take up arms, and fight to the bitter end, for the honor and defense of his native land; and 1t is bad record and a poor recommendation We are giving ourselves, when it be comes necessary to resort to all the measures our Government IS now doing to persuade men to enlist for military service.
 1t is too plain proposition for controversy that If President Wilson and the heads of the army and navy did not feel the need of more men they would not be calling for them. That our country is threatened, our commerce menaced and our man hood questioned there is no doubt. Then what is to be done? Are we to confess to the civilized world that America, with her boasted prowess and liherty-loving spirit, has degen. erated into the craven?
 The absolute necessity for an increase of the regular army is manifest, and if this is not done, and speedily too, by volunteers, then conscription will have to be resorted to, and thus the stigma of humiliation and abject wardice will be accorded our nation. It is serious matter that now confronts this country, and unless the people wake up to realization of that fact, right away, and prepare to meet it in a patriotic and heroic spirit, they will have to meet it in another and less honorable Tay.

The "bone dry" law, as it stands, does not prohibit a man from bringing into this state, as baggage, or upon his person, in toxicating liquors for his own use, the opinion of the Attorney General to the cont ary, not withstanding. And why we say so is the law, nowhere says that such cannot be done. It is an old and we'll established rule of law that criminal statutes must be strictly construed, and noth- ing can be written into them by interpretation. While the :'bone dry'' says you cannot bring wet goods into the state for another, it says naught about yourself.

The German U-boat threat seems to have been more effect i've, by the fear of it, than from the real harm done. Many American and other neutral ships have been tied up in home ports, while the British ships have been sailing the seas, as usual, with no more casualties than before the great destruc. ton of shipping was threatened. The congestion of freight along the sea- board, in this country, is becoming serious, and something Is necessary to be done to relieve the situation. If the hundreds of thousands of tons of freight, for export, now lying at the principal sea-ports of the coun try, Is not soon released, stagna- tion of business, all over the United States, will be the result. Much of the freight is being greatly damaged by being held, and unless it is forwarded soon, to its destination, or diverted to new channels, will be a total loss. Either let us cut loose from the world, and live at home, or assert our freedom of the seas, and go ahead.
