The question of expe lifting freight
shipments is being taken Up vigor-
ously by Director General Nc..doo
in response to urgent calls for an
educational campaign to awaken ship
pers and the public in general to the
great necessity and Importance of
prompt loading and unloading of the
freight cars, and in response to this
necessity, the Director General has,
by proclamation, established the week
of January IA to 21st as Freight
Moving Week" for the purpose of
emptying loaded freight cars at their
destinations, thus releasing a great
number of empty freight cars for 9TH
er immediate USE
Freight Moving Week" is fixed
enc week in advance of the date that
the new demurrage charges go into
effect under government orders, and
1t should not be overlooked that fol-
lowing that week, the progressive
demurrage charges up $4,000 per
day will be in force, SO that it will
be decidedly to the advantage of ship
pers to develop a regular practice of
prompt unloading of freight cars
from day to day. The Director Gen
erals announcement on the subject
follows:
II wish to appeal to the people
of the United States to observe the
week beginning January 14th, and
ending January 21st, 1918, as
Freight Moving Week, and l earn

organizations, business men

Motion Pictures Show How Work OF
Boys Increases Meat Supply

Boys Increases Meat Supply
To help increase the pork supply
the Department of Agriculture has
released to motion picture theaters,
through one of the large companies,
a film showing the work of the boys
pig clubs which the department is
organizing in all parts of the coun-
try. The film shows methods of in
structing farm boys who have join
ed the agricultural clubs how to raise
better pigs and the methods used by
club members ia carrying out in
structions.
The first pig club was organized in
Louisiana in 1910. Now approximate
ly $4,000 members are enrolled
throughout the country. Clubs in
several states are planning to send
carloads Of fat hogs to fairs and
stock shows, after which they are to
be marketed comparatively. .
Other moving pictures being used
to show the Importance of increased
food production show activities in
the national forest, important sources
of timber and water supply.

BY Jane Phelps.
BRIAN RECEIVES A MYSTERIOUS
TELEPHONE MESSAGE.

CHAPTER CHI.

0IAI l. EN- OIll,
That night Ruth found herself com
pairing Brian with Mr.. Mandel in q far
different spirit than ever before. She
had carried hurt in her heart so long
(because of Brian 3 intimacy with Mol
lie King, and his seeming determine
tion to belittle her work, to find fault
with her because of it-while he reap
ed as many of the benefits as did she)
that Mandel s actions stood out in re-
lief. And she now knew he cared for
her
As her employers thoughtfulness, his
kindness, appeared before her, SO did
Brian s seeming selfishness, his thought
lessness, also stand out. Was she los
ing her love for Brian, and in it's place
learning to love Mondel.
For the first time she wavered. She
was not certain. "What an awful
thing" she thought, "for me, for ny
woman, not to know whether she loves
her husband or another man!' Why it
was almost as if already she had been
lunfaithful, when in reality she never
before had allowed thought of loving
anyone save her husband to enter her
mind.
Brian was late in coming home.
When he did come he was absorbed,
not talkative; evidently them was
something on his mind.
"Shall we ask Kenyon and Clara in
to play cards she asked, not entirely
to please him. but beeouse it would
make her stop thinking.
emo! | don't want to play tonight.
m not in the mood. -
Anything gone wrong d"
,"No--whyR'
"You are usually keen enough to
play"
''That's no sign l am tonight" I"
''What Shall we do, 60 to the
movies9"
"No. -
"To playg"
"Ne. .
'What is the matter Brian3 know
something kas gene wrong"
"Can't Il man want to stay quietly
at home without something being
wrong2f
''Not you. | never knew you to act
like this, Do tell me what ails you.
81 told you-nothing Now please lot
me read, J."
Ruth said nothing more, but she was
watching Brian S face and saw that he
was not reading; or ir he was, that he
had no interest. in what he read. Sud
denly the telephone shrilled. She an

eyes, would you like to speak to
him-this is Mrs. Hackett,"
"sNhat is it9" Brian had taken the
receiver from Ruth.

There was nothing convincing about
Brian S answer Ruth was sure he was
hiding something. What had he meant
about next Ffiday-just week hence.
She was going on a short trip just UNI
iii Saturday on that day; could it be
possible that Brian had made an en-.

he had made it with had madc the mis-.
