FEDERALIZING RAILROAD
MANAGEMENT

Director General McAdoo will
place in direct charge of each
railroad for operating purposes
representative to be known as
a Federal manager. These Fee
deral managers will be chosen, SO
far as practicable, from the OPP
Grating Offices of their respective
railroads.
The Federal manager of each
railroad will endeavor to avail
himself to the fullest extent of
his railroad organization. This,
it is believed, will secure the
best results during Government
control, and reassure the officers
and employees of the railroads
and the stockholders of the pro-
lection of the just interest of
all.
The responsibility for the OPP
Grafton of the roads will be d.
rectly upon the regional direc-
tors, to whom the Federal man.
ayers report, and not upon the
railroad board of directors, tho
the latter will be consulted and
accorded the fullest opportunity
to keep advised of the operation
OF the properties.
The regional directors and
Federal managers will be re-
CURED to sever their official re-
lations with their respective
companies and become exclusive
ly representatives of the United
States Railroad Administration.
The effect of this order will be
to take away the authority of
the presidents of the respective
railroads, but it is thought that
in many cases the presidents of
the railroads will be made FEEDER
al managers. 1t will largely be a
change of status and authority
rather than of personnel, and
while not initiating against the
welfare of the various roads will
secure the fullest cooperation
and unity in the Government ad-
ministration of transportation.
1t is simply a liberalization of
railroad management.
With this change will come a
large reduction in salaries, tho
it is believed that most of the
regional directors will receive
a greater salary than Secretary
McAdoo himself.
Director General McAdoo
states that the policy adopted
will be applied with the greatest
possible regard for all the inter-
ests affected, and with view
to preserving intact. so far as
reasonably practical. the operat-
ing organization of the railroads.

LETTER FROM ASKOV SOL
DER IN SANTO DOMINGO
Askov American

Askov American
GentlemenAs the other boys
are telling Of their work in the
training camps, thought it
might be of interest to you and
others Of Askov to hear from
one who is in the tropics.
First | will enlighten some by
telling where Santo Domingo is
situated. Santo Domingo is an
island and is south of Cuba and
Porto Rico. This island was TAX
en- over by the United States
about four years ago. The peo-
pie here are black and talk Span
ish. They are always securing
arms and becoming bandits, or
rebelling against the govern
ment. 1t is our duty to keep or
der among these people. Last
month a captain was killed by a
band of bandits and we went out
after them. They are hard to
find, for they roam around the
mountains and hide in caves. l
belong to mounted company
and have travelled over most of
this country. ! have been in the
United States Marine Corps sew
enteen months and like it very
well, for one gets to see many
interesting things which would
cost a fortune to see otherwise.
| have been down here thirteen
months, can talk enough Spanish
SO as to be understood. AS | have
been down here such long time
and have seen all there is to see.
| would like to go to France or
back to the States where white
people live. / would like to be
back in Askov and see some
snow, for it has been two Win
ters ago since / have seen any.
1t gets to be pretty hot here, at
times. / don't doubt there is
many of the boys that are in the
army that would like to be down
here, where you can go swim
ming and play base ball the year
round. Fruit can be bought for
little or nothing the year round.
| have lots more to tell about but
1T will take too much space. |
think what | have written will
give you and others of Askov an
idea of what ! am doing for my
country. 1t seems queer to me
that some Of the Askov boys did
not enlist in the Marine Corps
for it is considered the best
branch of service. With best re-
CARDS to everybody, | remain,

Increased Production Ordered.

!, General Hoover of the food admin
tratio has ordered greater produc-
ton Of all farm products, but partic-
ularly of wheat and hogs. Every loyal
northwest farmer who hears this or,
der will obey to the fullest extent Of
his ability, just as though he we're one
of the boys: in khaki, and had heard
( bis commanding officer order an ad-
vance on an enemy position. We farm
ers are not, In a. position to know all
the why's and wherefore Of orders
from. Washington, but we have con-
hdence.in GU superiors in command,
n 1t is up to us to be ready to ego
over" when the command is given.
do we Realize Responsibility?
We often hear it said that the pco-
pie Of the United States do not realize
that we are at war--it is too FAR away
fQr the rank and file of us to appreci-
faae and realize our responsibilities.
we are too 'optimistic-We have never
been whipped or had any very great
opposition in any way, and we. will not
GLOW ourselves to believe that any
thing very serious car happen. How
ever; there is np question that we are
face to face with the most critical
moment in IL existence. The rea
s~ponsibility fol. successfully meeting
this situation rests no less upon. the
farmerHSof the northwest than Upon
our soldiers and:allies on the western
battle front, in Europe. 1't The man,
woman Or child who fails to hear and
obey the order TO increase food, pro-
duction is a Stacker.
Get Ready Now!
We read daily of the great and
thorough preparation being made for
the great spring drive. by the oppos-
ing forces on the west front, which
may or, nay not decide the war.
There should be no less care taken in
getting ready for our spring drive for
cess or failure of our efforts to in
crease the production OF wheat, in the
four spring wheat states and three
provinces Of Canada, may have as
much influence on the termination of
this great world war as the spring
drive which is being prepared for with
such care on the west front in Europe.

/. .Irpon the farmers. of.this country
rests the Responsibility of food pro-
duction, but the implement manufac-
turer and the implement dealer must
provide the farmer with the means
Of growing more food with less labor.
This can be accomplished only
through preparedness by furnishing
4 machines and repairs and having
them shipped ION time.
With the hearty approval Of the
national food administration, the
week of March 4 to 3 has been desig-
mated as Farm Implement Repair
Week. throughout the United States.
Every farmer is urged to thoroughly

machinery and tools during that
week, ascertaining what repairs and
new parts he will need, and. place his
orders for Them.
If each farmer and implement
dealer will do his duty during that
week, every farm machine will be in
good condition when it is needed for
blowing. planting, c~ultivating or har-
vesting the crops.

Feeding a World Big Task.
Even in times of a and nor

possible for the farmers to produce
enough to feed the world. if. they

their crops entirely by human la

This is strikingly proven in the
case of wheat. Americas most i'm

for cattle and other stock. The war
may last three years longer, so we
must keep in mind the fact that larg-
er crops will be demanded until the
war is over.
More Hogs.
The increase in pork production
may almost be accomplished by sim
ply giving more are and attention to
the usual number of brood sows
kept. The average number of pigs
raised per sow is much less than it
should. be. This is due most largely to
a lack Of care and attention at far
rowing time. The pigs are allowed to
chill. get laid on, stepped on by larg-
cr stock. etc. Also a great loss may
