The taking over Of the management
of all of the railroads by the govern
ment last Friday has added no little
grief to the government officials.
There are 26O, 600 miles of road in
the United States. with property
valuation of seventeen billions of dol.
lars. Simply to supervise such vast
enterprise is no light responsibility.
The various lines will be left under
the direct management of the former
officers, but they will be operated un-
der regulations imposed by the gov
eminent. It is not probable that the
cost of operation will be any less
than under the old system, but there
will be advantages in the way of
greater efficiency through the coop
GRAFTON of the various lines. The
laws governing the roads prohibited
all pooling arrangements. and were
designed to foster competitive rivalry
rather than cooperation. While this
restriction may have prevented some
grating, it has restricted the efficien-
cy Of the roads at time when effici-
ency was essential. The experiment
of government control will be watched
with interest, and it is predicted by
the stockholders of the roads that the
next step will be government owner
ship. There is no opposition on the
part of the stockholders, as their div
idends are now guaranteed BY Uncle
Sam.

Dear Friends -

were prepared for the boys in France

ent. That, however, did not decrease
my appreciation one bit but we boys
in camps can easily provide for our

PUT ONE OVER ON THE GUARD
Challenged Soldier Demanded senti-
nel's Name on Pretext Of Report
ing Him to Lieutenant.

Among the members of the Indiana
university ambulance corps at Allen
town., says the indianapolis News,
there is one man who from this time
on will require, while on guard duty,
any person whom he challenges at
night to furnish his full pedigree.
There is reason.
Recently while the section was on
guard at the camp this man was sta
toned at a distant post on the
grounds, at a place where the guards
experience great deal Of trouble with
men climbing the fence during the wee
hours.
Shortly after one O'Clock in the
morning the guard saw a man climb
ing the fence. He hurried up, chal-
lenged the man, and asked for an ex-
PLANTATION. 1t was Forthcoming.
"Well,' said the challenged one,
"you are to be congratulated. have
been coming over this fence every
night for week and I have never
been challenged before. would like
you to give me your name and your
section number, and I will report you
TO your lieutenant
In dazed manner the guard did SO
and the man walked off. Not until
he was "kidded' by his section mates
on telling the story did he fall for his
being duped. He is now on the trail
of the man whose ingenuity saved
himself,
