allies, but Since April 6 it has increased tremendously. The reports for the month of April show that the railroads of the United States In that month handled over 3,0o00OO,O00 more ton miles than were handled during the same month in 1916, an increase in business amounting to 16 per cent. And the traffic in April, 1916, although there was a strike impending, was heavy compared with almost any year before the beginning of the European war.
 "On May 1, when the railroads war board was established and the rail- roads set out to cooperate with it in an effort to get greater national efn- cheney, there was a car shortage of 14S,627 cars. At the end of June this shortage had been decreased to 105,O00 cars, though business was increasing"
 NIT. Willard said that, in the judg- ment of many railroad men who have followed the situation closely, vital congestion would have hindered the transportation of troops, seriously de- layed the completion of the canton ments and aggravated the coal situa- tion if the railroads had not voluntart- ly made themselves ready to act as a unit in response to the suggestion ot the Council of National Defense.
 'BegInning with April G." he said, business activity has been greater than ever before in America, think. It was stimulated in many directions by the manufacture of uniforms, cloth ing, materials for the building of can- comments, making of ammunition, etc. Then traffic was increased by the with dra%sl of many of the lake boats, and the roads had to assume that extra bur den. Boats were also withdrawn from coast traffic, both on the Atlantic and the Pacific, and much of the bulk that has been going through the Panama canal was turned over to the railroads. And there were other factors. For in- stance. the formers of the country re- sponded in fine spirit to the request of the secretary of agriculture that they plant more land. They planted 30 per cent more land than year ago and called upon the railroads to move large quantities of agricultural imple- mentB, fertilizer, seed. etc"
 Congestion Before the War.
 "Before Amerlca's entrance into the war" MT. Willard said. there was serious railroad congestion, not because the railroads were broken down, but because traffic had been extraordinari- IY heavy and there was no concerted move possible to get greater efficiency. One of the first steps of the war board was to request the railroads to give preference to the movement of coal, particularly coal for the government, md that the second preference should be given to ore. Means for identifying government shipments were devised and orders were sent out by the rail- roads to send government freight through to destination whether or not there were through rates and divisions

 .The essence Of the railroad sitns' tion," said President Daniel Willard, chairman of the committee on trans Dortation of the Council of National Defense, in recent interview, '+s that the railroads of the whole United States are nationaHSed The 6e3 rail road companies operating in forty eight states and controlling 2eSIOOo miles of road are responding RdntrR- bly, to central direction from the so called railroad war board of railway presidents. They have responded to every suggestion made by the Council of National Defense through tho war board. They have made all transfers of troops on schedule In 8 manner, % far as I am advised, entirely satisfac- tory to the war department without serious disruption of regular tranlc. They have tremendously increased the supply of coal cars, facilitated the transit of grain and met the needs of the government at least as promptly and effectuaIly as if they were under direction of government authority"
 President Willard explained that last summer the railroads worked out with Colonel Baker of the quartermasters corps of the army Q complete scheme for wartime railroad operations and that this scheme, since elaborated and perfected, has worked so well that during the past two months the rail roads of the country, though handling vastly more ton miles than eyer be- fore, have been constantly transport ing troops in considerable numbers without In the least interrupting regu- lar traffic."

BEWARE OF THE LAW

We have heard OF several persons
who desire to use liquor in their own
homes expressing the idea that IT
would be alright, when away from the
state, TO bring some back with them
for their individual use. But carrying
liquor into prohibition territory,
though it is intended only for personal
use and not for sale, is held to be in
t~erstate commerce within the mean
ing of Federal statutes and therefore
to be in violation Of the Federal bone
dry law, is IN opinion by United States
Judge Charles +. Amidon.
In the opinion Of Judge Amidon, the
law says nothing about the purposes
of transporting liquor from state to
state and courts cannot make such
purposes the basis Of sound distinction.
This is believed to be the first opinion
handed down in such cases since the
bone dry law went into effect July /.
The decision in establishing a pre-
will affect twenty-three states,
it is believed.
As the decision of a United States
Judge generally has more weight than
one by a justice of the peace, it may
be well to think this over before at
tempting any transportation.

eration department is:
! All local labor should be listed
end made available when needed. This
includes exchanges among farmers
and help from the towns. Many clerks
and trades men a put a few days or
weeks into farm work Business
houses and the trades can afford to
shape he business 50 as to allow va
cations for farm work. Getting the
crops harvested is the most vital work
in South Dakota and everything else
should defer to it including some Of
the usual farm work at that season.
Fan blowing can be delayed a few
days to help neighbors.

mitteemen Of the Council of Defense
will try TO secure such outside help as
is needed. The committeeman must
know the need some time in advance
and have time to get men from the
State office at Huron or the district
Office at Aberdeen. They cannot be
kept at the State office ready to be for
warded by parcel post either, but must
be secured from a distance and direct
ed to the different sections by the di-
rect routes as they enter the state. It
requires planning, in advance hence
the first responsibility must rest upon
the farmer. Also the farmer may have
to take more pains than usual to train
green help. There are some splendid
young men coming into the state who
have had no farm experience. Some
patience will make them very superior
to much of the floating labor. But

there will be more OF less danger from

farmers see that their buildings and es-

fire guards should be provided for, and
If possible those along the county lines
should also be made. The importance
