FLOUR AND WHEAT.

Wheat was quoted at $500 per
bushel locally yesterday, following
the sharp declines of the past week,
with light receipts. Farmers are
holding out their crops, for higher
prices, but dealers say the millers are
not badly in need of the grain at
present. The price of flour has fol-
lowed in the retail and wholesale
market with the decline in wheat,
though consumers say it is plenty
high enough.

Help Reduce the
Car Shortage

! On May 1, 1917, the United States
was short 145,479 freight cars, the
greatest shortage in history.
How the freight car owners and
the freight car users by cooperating
can make enough cars for the govern
ment and everybody is shown in an
appeal just issued by c. ]. Mcdonald,
assistant to the chairman Of the west
ern department Of the railroads war
board. Mcdonald points out that the
trouble does not lie in the non-exist-
ence of enough cars, but that the
maximum use of each car is not OBJ
tanned. Just what cooperation In
freight car conservation means is
shown here:
An increase of two tons per loaded
car would be equivalent to adding
over 100000 cars to the number
available for public use.
There are about 25O,OOO to 100000
points in the United States where
freight is received and delivered. 1t
is estimated that quicker loading and
unloading would increase the number
of available cars by $4,000.
There are $4,000 freight cars
in this country, of which about 6.5
are normally under repair. The rail-
roads are trying hard to reduce this
percentage to 4, which would release
$4,000 cars for active service.
Now If the public will cooperate
with the railroads in loading cars to
their full permissible capacity and in
releasing equipment promptly, maxi
mum efficiency will be secured and
the problem solved.
Ask for only the cars you need and
when you need them; use fully, load
promptly; release quickly.
New cars are being built, but the
volume of the nations business is be-
ing built faster, wherefore avoidance
of car wastage is as important as
avoidance of food wastage.
The time may even come, and
come quickly, when our country
success will hinge upon the car sup
ply.
Help us avoid using two cars
where one will suffice, for a car saved
is a car made.
