MAKES ENyIABLE RECORD.

The record made by J. M. Herbert, President of the St. Louis Southwes- tern Railway, and more recently ln- ter Regional Director in charge of the operation of the St. Louis and East St. Louis lines, is attracting con- siderable attention in the technical journals and railway publications throughout the country.
 That MT. Herbert is an operating man of unusual ability is evidenced by comment made in the issue of the Railway Age Gazette just out.
 Tt is very rare to find road which has increased it's average train load by 100 tons in a single year, but the comparatively few instances where this has been done are for the most part coal roads or roads already having large average train load. The St. Louis Southwestern's in- crease in train load in 1917 was re- markable because of the very high percentage which the increase repres- ented," says the Railway Age. 'The real achievement made in increasing the train load was presumably respon- sible in considerable part for the re- suits obtained in holding down opera ting expenses and especially transpor- tation expenses in the face of the in- creases in wage scales and unit costs if fuel," continues this publication.
 Another railway publication com menting on the remarkable achieve ment says. "When J. M. Herbert took hold of the property late in 1915, there were 8 number of conditions which required immediate attention and vigorous and decided action. The decision shown in attacking problems that were left over from previous years, did wonders toward toning up the morale of the officers and employ ees and the results obtained in 1917 are really as much attributable to the fearless handling of the situation in 1916 as they are to improvement in conditions in 1917."
 The stockholders of the St. Louis Southwestern Railway fully appre- ciate what Mir. Herbert has done for them and it is understood that they were very anxious to have him remain as president of the corporation. At the same time, the United States Railway Administration fully recog- nizes the fact that MT. Herbert as h. ter-Regional Director cleared up a badly congested terminal situation which included a large number of cars which had been tied up under load within the St. Louis East St. Louis terminals from six to eight months.
 c. R. Gray, Director Division of Op- eration, while in conference at San Francisco with the Director General of Railroads, MT. Wm. G. McAdoo, addressed a communication to MT. Herbert congratnlating him upon his efficient handling and the results obtained in connection with his admin istration of the St. Louis and East St. Louis lines.
 Former President Herbert is well known in Pine Bluff where he has transacted business on several occa- sions. His appointment as regional

moral superiority Of the Allied Gov
ernments over that Of the German junk
ers and militarists. Already their policy
has borne fruit in the acceptance of the
principles OF the Interallied Labor Con-
ference by Socialist bodies in Bulgaria,
Austria and Germany. It may be only
a tiny seed today. The time will come
when, emboldened by the military fail
ure of their domestic opponents, the
democratic forces Of the Central Empires
will assert themselves effectually.
The political power of British labor
as an Allied asset may be fouted by; Mr..
Gompers. It is regarded far differently
by the conservative members Of the
British coalition government. Nothing
could better show the, value of it's con-

According to the report of county
superintendent of schools, R. B. Kennedy,
approximately 78 per cent of the children
of school age have attended school in
Brown County during the past school
year. There were in the county total
of 5017 children of school age, of whom
2786 were in the high and graded dis
tricts and 2231 in. the rural districts.
Of the 2786 eligibles in the high and
graded districts 1888 are males and
1898 are females. In the rural districts
1148 of the 1921 are males and the re-
manning 1888 females. There was a
total enrolment of 4315 pupils in the
county schools, 2157 boys and 2158
girls, thus showing that they are evenly
distributed. Of these pupils 956 were
between the ages of five and eight,
1868 between eight and sixteen and
1884 between sixteen and twenty-one.

tribution of the children of school age

Official paper of City Of New Ulm.

Unionized labor usually means dis
turbance in industrial circles and this is
we'll understood by all employers OF labor,
from the smallest plant to the largest.
There is no getting around the fact and
as a rule employers are prone to blame
the Union. 1t is true that the Union
does arouse a combative spirit among
vorkmen. It is true that their demands
are frequently unreasonable but it is
equally true that there is something
wrong with the industrial system that
makes a readjustment necessary and ap-
parently no other agency at this time IS
sufficiently strong to make Roadway
against the strength of the employer
save the strength that comes from
unionizing. 1t is condition that must
be realized. The situation must be
looked squarely in the face and the wise
emplover is the man who carefully weighs
his own treatment of his men and his
own attitude toward the products OF
their labor, judging with an open mind
the value of his own labor and that OF
his employees, and then acts on what
he finds. The Union is formed quite as
much for the right adjustment OF the
employers problems as it is for the
Improvement of the working mans
status. The best example this country
affords Of the wise employer is Henry
Ford. He chose to beat the Unions
to it by paying his men such wages that
they took pride in their work and gave
their best efforts. Not all employers
have the financial ability to pay as
Henry Ford pays but good rule in
handling labor is to pay every cent the
business can possibly spare let
the margin between the employers
compensation and that of his help be
narrower than is commonly the case.
Such an attitude toward the common
cause Of employer and employee will do
much to lessen the chances of Union
disturbances in existing labor condi-
uions. In short, it's the only way to
prevent unionizing troubles.

Libraries Used Extensively
That the libraries Of the county have
been found needful and helpful is shown
by the report. A total of 27,887 books
have been taken from the libraries dur
ing the past year. Of these 1882
books have been taken in the high and
graded districts and 1905 in the rural
districts. In New Ulm the library
was more extensively used than else
where, 11,495 books having been taken
out by the students.
Teachers Stay But Short Time
The report also shows that very few
teachers stay in the same place longer
than a year or two. In the rural dis
tricts, out of the 70 teachers, only fifteen
have been at the same place for three
years or more, fifteen for two years
and the rest only one year. ...E
In the high and graded districts the
stay of the teachers was as follows:
