WHAT THE DEPARTMENT
 WILL ALLOW US TO DO

The Red Cross correspondence Ser vice, intended to keep relatives in personal touch with soldiers i'll or wounded in foreign service, has been authorized extended to camps in the United States. The Secretary of War has issued orders to camp commanders bespeaking their cooperation.
 No censorship will be exercised hereafter over the matter written in army cantonments in this country by regular newspaper or magazine cor respondents. All persons in the mil itary service are forbidden to act as paid correspondents. There will be no objection to the sending of news notes by soldiers, provided this does not in- terfere with military work, and pro- vided, also, that such letters be sub mitted to an officer charged with the camp censorship. These regulations do not apply to camps abroad.

ChiH Deputy Sheriff H. c. John son and J. A. Mineer took George Zimmerman, we'll known rancher of Adamana to the insane asylum at Phoenix this week. Zimmerman, a few days ago, became violently in- sane and attempted to kill his wife and several of his neighbors. Being close at hand, Sheriff Lee Newman was called from Holbrook and took the man in charge. Apache county off, ficials turned the case over to Navajo county and Judge Sapp, after the man had been examined by Dr. Bazell, or dered that he be taken to the asylum. It is said Zimmerman had two child ren killed in railway accidents a couple of years ago and he brooded so much over his misfortune that it drove him mad.-St. Johns Observer.

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS.

The machinery by which the pur- chase of Thrift Stamp or War Savings Stamp is to be made as easy and convenient as the purchase of a spool of thread or a pound of nails in every community in the United States is rapidly being established. Already 1S5,0O0 agencies have been establish ed and this number will soon have been increased to 350,00O.
 In addition to these agencies there will be 100000 "sales stations" which do not receive direct authori- zation to make the sales from the Secretary of the Treasurer, but ob- tain their stamps from authorized agents and sell them over their coun- ters, at their cashiers windows, and other places.

PRICES HIGHER IN 1776.

You without doubt are complaining of the high cost of living. Back il the days of the Revolution, Abigail Adams was doing the same thing, Here are some prices quoted from a letter she wrote her husband, the sec- ond president of the United States, given out recently by the State Food Administration:
 Meat-$1 to $2 pound.
 Corn-$25 bushel.
 Rye-$30 bushel.
 Molasses-$12 gallon.
 Flour-$5 hundredweight.
 Cider-$40 a barrel.
 Cheese-$2 a pound.
 Butterine-$3 a pound.
 Sugar-$3 Q pound.
 This was Abigail's list in 1776. In 1779 sugar rose to $4 pound and tea the same. In 17S0 butter sold for SIP a pound and tea for $40.
 Such were the prices in revolution ary times, when we were trying to carry on war and feed ourselves at the same time.

LOYALTY EVER.

Every citizen should be deeply in- pressed with his obligation to do his best, whatever his walk in life and whatever his occupation, assuming it to be legitimate. Loyalty is just as important in the furrow or the forest as it is in the trenches.
 In recent address to the officers and employees of the railroads, Sec retary McAdoo said that "the govern ment having assumed possession and control of the railroads for the period of the present war with Germany, it becomes more than ever obligatory upon every officer and employee to apply himself with unreserved ener- gy and unquestioned loyalty to his work"
 This is an unfortunate expression, and, if the idea should be generally accepted, it would tend to make men in private employment less apprecia- tive of the importance of faithful work. Railroad employees are under no greater obligation to apply them selves now than they were before the government assumed control. The is no greater now than it was before. It was. and still is every railroad mans duty to devote the best there is in him to the task of moving traffic as promptly and as speedily as possible. It is the duty of every

RAILROAD RUMBLES!
NEED MEN FOR
CAR REPAIRING
Crippled Equipment on Sid
ings Cannot Be Moved;
in Need of Oil

An official of the Philadelphia Di-
vision of the Pennsylvania Railroad
said to-day that empty coal cars were
stored on the low grade line of the
Philadelphia division from Marys-
Vile to ely. since shortly after
Christmas. He said before the cars
are moved ii will be necessary to oil
and repair every car. This will take
considerable time and large num-
Der of men. The official said that
one day last week efforts were made
to move some cars at Goldsboro for
some purpose. Five cars were too
much for one engine to move. 1t
was necessary to oil and repair the
cars before they could be moved.
Use Passenger Tracks
During the time the cars have been
stored on the northbound track it
was necessary to run all this freight
over the passenger route on the 9TH
er grade line.
The low grade prior to the time
the cars were stored there was one of
the heaviest freight roads around
Harrisburg. At the present time it
is unusual to see a train on the road,
all freight being moved out of Har-
risburg.

Motorcar Proves Good
Substitute For Trains;
Help to Passengers

since the Government took over
the railroads." said George Stowe, of
the Mitchell Motor Company of New
York, there mas been a curtailment
of passenger traffic of over twenty
per cent. in certain sections of the
country. which would have proved
disastrous, from business stand
point, but for the automobile.
Just as the motortrucS relieved
the freight problem in the short
hauls, and some long ores also, SO
has the automobile relieved passen-
ger traffic at this time.
THE automobile is necessity
these days, where transportation
means the saving of time and money.
and the public, having cnce been
educated to flying along the high
ways and moving goods "a rom ff-
teen to thirty miles an hour, will not
go back to walking and slow-muying
and expensive horse hauling.
Season and weather are not TO be
considered as in past years. when
they were looked upon as n handicap
to business. And yet. it is not so
long ago that with the first frost
the motorcar vas locked up IN the
garage. But not to-day; the rotor
ca has shown US the short cuts and
the time to be saved, so it is used

MANUFACTURERS
NEED EDUCATION,
DECLARES BABSON.
Failure to Increase Wages
May Be Weakness of In
dustrial Structure
By Associated Press

Washington, Feb. 1S.-Failure of
manufacturers to increase wages in
keeping with the advance in the cost
of living, may be the weakness OF
the Industrial structure" according
to Roger w. Babson. special agent
of the employment service of the
Department of Labor, whose views
gained during a recent trip through
the west are set forth to-day in an
employment service bulletin.
Although starting his trip with the
idea of educating the workers to the
needs of the present situation. Mr..
Babson says he returned with the
idea that the manufacturers, "es-
pecially those in some localities,
need fully as much missionary work
as do workers"
The labor difficulty at present is
one of improper distribution, rather
than of shortage" he said. 'The
complaints of manufacturers, l have
found, have arisen not so much from
their difficulty in obtaining labor.
but in their difficulty in obtaining
it at the price which the manufac-
turers desire to pay. My principal
difficulty was in convincing manu-
facturers of the increase in the cost
of living to wage-earners and in the
reasonableness of advancing wages.
"The manufacturers who are not
complaining about paying advances
of one hundred per cent. or more for
materials which they must use, are
strenuously objecting to paying
fraction of this advance in wages.
"In many ways manufacturers are
more liberal than wage earners.
They cheerfully pay heavy taxes,
give bountifully. to the Red Cross
and similar organizations. are will
| ing to work in Washington for 81 a
year and permit their wives to knit
from morning to night; but there is
one thing which they will not do:
Give up one-sixteenth of so-called
inherited rights of the employing
| class "
