RAIL LEGISLATION ,TOPASSCONGRESS
 BY END OF WEEK
Both Houses Are Bending Effort to Hurry Impor- tant Measure Through
 Quickly

Washington February 19.-Congress to- day bent itself almost exclusively to- ward expedting the administration, rail- road bill to govern federal operation of railroads.
 Debate on the measure was begun in the House and continued in the Senate, with leaders of both bodies planning it's disposition before the end of the week. Late in the day the Senate agreed to begin voting on amendments Thursday afternoon, expecting passage of the bill late that night, or Friday. In the House it is planned to close general debate Thursday and pass the measure at least before adjournment Saturday,
 MANY AMENDMENTS
 Considerable amendment of both the Senate and House committee drafts be- fore final action was forecast by to- days discussion.
 The principal addresses in the Senate today were by Senators Johnson of Cal ifornia and Townsend of Michigan, re- publicans, both of whom opposed the measure as now drawn. In the House Representative Sims of Tennessee and hepfeSeHldllNe StepHeHS OL ANSbld democrats, championed the draft of the House committee Government owner ship of railroads was advocated by the California senator and by Representa- tive Stephens.
 ALLEGED DEFECTS
 Senator Townsend, pointed out many alleged defects in the bill, asserting that 1t was not understood by many commit tee members and that the railroads are supporting the measure in expectation of rate increases. He said he doubted wheth- CT the government could enforce the provision prohibiting railroads from pay ing dividends higher than their regular rate.
 Representative Sims urged particu-, lsrly the adoption of provisions giving the President power to establish rates and to retain control of the carriers two years after peace is declared. He asserted that the government should disrupt private management as little as possible.
 Senator Norris criticized what he termed excessive compensation pro- vided for the railroads and said the provision for rate making by the Pres ident was unnecessary and unwise.'
 SMALL ATTENDANCE
 Tn neither body today was there a large attendance for the discussion. Under the terms of the Senate's agree

VALUE OF THRIFT STAMPS

Buy a thrift stamp and save life
The Government of the United States
is offering the safest investment in
the world and one in the reach OF
everyone. .'
Here's the reason why you should
buy thrift stamps: A mask to protect
a soldier from gas can be purchased
for three and half certificates. A
single stamps cents-will buy a
tent pole or five tent pins, a waist belt
or hat cords, shoe laces and identi-
fication tags. Two thrift stamps will
purchase a trench tool, one pair of
wooden gloves; four thrift stamps
will buy two pairs Of canvas leggings
six thrift stamps-s1.5O-will buy
five pairs of wooden socks; twelve
stamps will buy a steel helmet, and
so on.
The Government has allotted every
community an amount to be raised
by the sale of thrift stamps and War
Certificates. Boone County's allot-
ment is $6SS,OOO. Will you do your
share?

WOULD REDUCE DELIVERY COST
F. B. Mumford Encouraging C0.opera.
ton Among Merchants.

The high cost of food commodities
is due in large measure to the high
cost Of delivery and other services
investigations by the Missouri divi-
sion of the United States Food Ad.
ministration have shown. To reduce
these delivery costs, F. B. Mumford
federal food administrator for Mis-
souri,, is encouraging the organiza-
ton of cooperative delivery systems
in every town Of the State and the
reduction of the number of free de-
liveries to one a day.
"In many towns merchants make
five and six deliveries a day." Dean
Mumford said. This is an enormous
waste. By cooperative deliveries
every small grocer would not be
forced to maintain a delivery wagon.
Holding the number of deliveries
down to one day would be big
saving. We believe that those who
want more than one delivery day
should bear the cost.
Retail grocers in several Missouri
towns have started cooperative de-
livery systems. Chillicothe organized
such system in 1916 and 1t is a sue
cess. Five deliveries a day are made
by the six wagons. In compliance
with the request of the State Food
ADMINISTRATION the Chillicothe mer-
chants are now working on a plan of
one delivery a day.
George W. Bailey, county food ad-
for Linn County, has Or
ganized the dealers of Brookfield into
a cooperative system. Since this was
started nine men who were deliver
