WE EXTEND OUR HEARTY
APPRECIATION TO J. s. kROH

We are indebted considerably to our
friend, Editor Kroh of the Tribune at
Ogallala, for the use of his linotype
machine week before last, at which
time we were installing our new limo
type. and was unable to get the new
maci1ne into complete running order
for that current issue of the Grit-Ad-
vocate. Editor kroh was equal to the
occasion, and very kindly rendered us
the use of his machine, for which we
appreciated very much. Mr.. Kroh
makes the following comment in his
last issue of the Tribune:
7. K. Mcdowell, euito-, aud his Sis
ter-in-law, Miss Nan Wilson, assist
ant editor of the Grit Advocate. Jules

office last Friday, a,.l set up fourteen

out the last issue of the Grit-Advo-
cate. Mr.. Mcdowell was unable to
get new linotype machine. which he
had just received, in working order.
IN consequence we were glad to give
him the use Of our macn.ne--,Osal-

! thus afford an ample force to pro
tect public property in this section of
our state, and thus release the young
er men, whose services VIII undoubt-
edly 6e required in more active work
IN the field. The Governor acknowl-
edged the receipt of my letter. and
referred it to the Adjutant General,
and the Adjutant General has writ
ten me that he very much doubts the
possibility of the organization Of a
company of National Guard Of men
who have passed the age for military
service, but he sees no reason why
1t would not be possible to organize
company for those within the lin
1t, and would be glad to send COPY of
petition for such an organization.
My letter, in no wise, reflected up
on the integrity or loyalty Of the
younger men. On the contrary. our
object was, and still is, TO do our du-
ty to our state and country to the
best of our ability, and thus enable
the younger men of our county to do
their duty where they will be most
needed in the field where we are not
physically able, on account of our ad-
vanced age.
There certainly was no reflection
upon the loyalty of our young naen in
my letter. | have the whole CORES
pondence in my office, and any citi-
zen, young or old, who may be in
terested to see it, can do SO by call
ing on me-
And l will say further, that if the
young men of this county feel that
they are loyal, and want TO be of ser
vice to their country. in its hour Of
need, there is ample opportunity for
them to show their loyalty by enlist
ing in the service of the Nation or
OF the state, and the old men, who
have done their duty in the past, are
ready. at all times, to assist them in
any way they can.
Young men should not be jealous of
old men who are willing to prove their
loyalty by offering to serve their
country, even after they have passed
the required age. There will be plen-
ty to do for all of us, young and old,
for this war is a stern reality, and
there is more involved in the present
issue, than there was in any war this
Nation has ever experienced.

| food this summer, get busy! There is
yet time to help.
DO YOUR BIT!
Every farmer in Colorado should be
'nrolled in the work of producing a
larger food supply this summer. If
you are a farmer and have not made
plans to this end, make them today,
before it is too late.
Do not fear over-production and a
consequent low price. There is not
the slightest possibility of over-pro-
duction this fall-or next fall, for that
matter. Just reason it out for your
self. There has been practically no
production of food in England and
France for the past two years. We
have been feeding them. If the war
should be terminated today, they can
not possibly return to their normal
production this summer. They must
be fed next winter. Italy has Just
sent a commission to the United
States for the express purpose of ar
ranging for the shipment of food to
that country. The United States is
now involved in the war This means
much larger demand for food here
at home.
We ask you-does this look like
there could be any over reproduction?

TRAFFIC BOOST
NLONG TRAINS
War Board Fears Proposed
Legislation Will Break Up
Present Efficient System

Washington, d. c.. Nov. GA Sc
rious blow at the efficiency of the
great transportation system of the
country in handling war shipments
Will he struck at the next Congress,
when the railroad brotherhoods will
attempt to put through legislation to
limit the length of freight trains.
Such Legislation, If enacted, will, it
is said, materially interfere with the
war plans of the government, and in
the transportation of supplies for the
American apd allied armies to Allan
tic coast ports for overseas traffic.
Despite the fact that some of the
greotcst railroad operators in the
country have indorSed the long-train
system of shipping freight, reports
here say that the railroad brother
hoods have in mind the intention of
reducing the number of cars to each
train. in order that faster runs may
he made, resulting in increased pay
to employees.
Since the entrance of the United
States into the war the Railroad War
Board, composed of some of the most
experienced operators in the coun-
try, have urged the long train sys.
tenn as the solution of the problem
Of freight congestion. as we'll as the
handing of troops and supplies with
in the states.
That this system has saved the sit
uation is shown by the fact that the
railroads have succeeded in hauling
twenty per cent. more tonnage than
in the peak year 1916. With the
unprecedented demands made upon
the iron and steel industries and
upon the mines of the country for
war materials and coal, railroad Of
ficials in Washington, who are CO.
operating with the government in
handling the transportation problems
arising from the war. view with
alarm the possibility of the enact
ment of laws reducing the length of
trains. Only by means of long. heav-
lily loaded trains can the necessary
supplies reach the terminals, they
say.
If they are compelled greatly to
increase the amount of rolling stock,
which would be made necessary by
shorter trains, q serious situation
would be faced by the war industries
demanding steel and other raw ma.
terials, which the transportation sys-
tens would have to have in order
to augment the number of cards and
locomotives.
War Board Efficiency
The marked efficiency of the Rail-
road War Board in handling war
supplies is shown by the fact that
through the inauguration of the long
train system, two trains can now
carry as much freight as it formerly
required three to handle.
Particularly on the eastern roads,
where the war shipments are most
heavy, the average train load was
from 47S tons in 1910 to
675 tens in 1915. Until the Railroad
War Board took hand in co-operat-
ing with the government, this estab-
lished a record. AS q result of their
work, the train load in April of this
year was increased to 73S tons; in
June to S15 tons, and in July to 7SS
tons. This makes an average train
load for the four months of 7S2 tons
as compared with 705 tons in the
same period of last year.
