dividuals should not think Of getting
newspaper space helpful to their bust
ness for nothing, any more than they
would think of getting clothes and
food for the asking at the place where
clothes and food are sold. Giving
newspaper space away is giving the
income of the office away. Space is

TO sTANDARD|E ALL
RAILROAD EQUIPMENT
The Director General Expects to
Centralize All Purchasing
and Standardize All
Equipment

Washington, March IA Partial
Capitalization of purchasing between
81 ,OOO, 100000 and $2,0OO,OOO, 900
worth of railroad supplies and equip
ment this year under government
supervision is involved in q plan for
organizing the railroad administra-
tion's division of finance and pur-
chases, announced recently by Direct
or General McAdoo.
John Shelton Williams, as head OF
this division, will be assisted by
central advisory committee Of three
expert railway purchasing agents,
and regional purchasing committees
will be created for the eastern, west
ern and southern operating regions.
To Standardize Equipment
Thru the central organization will
be bought locomotives, cars and steel
rails, the principal big quality pur-
chases of railways and an effort will
be made not only to economize by
wholesale buying methods, but to
standardize equipment and supplies.
Coal and other fuel will be bought
mainly by individual lines to supply
their individual needs, but under the
supervision of the regional commit
tees.
In New England, fuel is to be pur-
chased by a special committee. Cross
ties and lumber are to be bought prin-
cipally by the roads along their own
lines, but may be ordered thru the
cantral organization if they cannot be
bought in the territory thru which the
road passes.
"All other supplies needed for cur
rent operations will be purchased for
the time being" says Director General
McAdoo's statement, thru the pur-
chasing departments Of the respect
i've roads, but all contracts for periods
of six months or longer must be ap-
proved by the original committee be-
fore completion"
Will Centralize Purchases
As fast as possible all purchases
will be centralized and the regional
committee are to draft recommenda-
tions for this accomplishment. Rail
road administration officials believe
eventually they can save more than
500, 100000 a year by centralizing
purchasing, altho no definite predic-
tions are made for this year, owing to
necessarily slow progress in organic
ing a nationwide buying system.
Members of the central advisory
committee and the regional commit
tees will be appointed soon. The re-
gional bodies, to be composed of three
or more, are to have headquarters, re-
spectively, in New York, Chicago, and
Atlanta, and are to work in close CO.
operation with the regional rail execu-
tive directors with headquarters in
those cities.
Will Handle OOO,OOO,OOO
Mr.. Williams and his advisors will
administer in a general way the dis
position of about ,OOO,OOO,OOO repre-
senting the gross earnings from Oper-
ations in a year. In the past require
ments for new capital to purchase
equipment and make betterments and
additions have been between $780,
100000 and $75O,OOO,OOO a year, de-
pending on business activity and mon
ey market conditions.

The Baxter Springs correspondent
for the Joplin Globe, sprung n new
name for an old kind of ore that was
plentiful in this section when the In
dians and Buffalo roamed these plains,
He called it Coprolite and the rube
newspaper men in the Globe office
fell for it., even though it was said
the ore named was a good fertilizer
and when found in Tennessee was
considered a commercial fertilizer.
We presume if the COW part of the
corprolite had been spelled out the in
nocent proof reader would have
tumbled to the sort of ore it really
was.
