Rev. G. NJ. Hammond, field secre-
tary of the Anti Saloon League of
America, delivered very able adj
dress last Thursday night at the Bap-
fist church to a large congregation.
Mr.. Hammond is wonderful speaker
and brought out some strong argu-
ments in behalf of the maintenance
of the League and continued efforts
against the organized liquor interests
of America. In his address, he said
that Sc per cent of the breweries in
America was owned and operated by
Germans, and the ex-kaiser of Ger
many owns &c per cent of the stock of
the largest breweries in America. He
made some startling statements in
regard to the work of the organized
liquor interests in our country and
said that those representing these in
terests were the worst criminals in
the world. A beautiful flag was given
to the primary room of the Carthage
High school for their work in adver-
Using the meeting and receiving the

WASTE IN FREIGHT CARS
NOW BEING ELIMINATED

Up to a few months ago there was
enormous waste in the use Of freight
cars. 1t was an impressive sight to
watch a train Of fifty or more cars
sweep by. but perhaps not more than
ten of these cars were loaded to ca
pacity. Where they were capable OF
loading forty tons they held only ten
or twenty tons. Nearly all the costs
Of operating this train were the same
whether 1t transported 800 or 2,5O0 tons.
Now loading Is required to the limit
OF the car. Where formerly one
freight car was sent out each night
from all large cities to each town
along the line. with often only a few
thousand pounds in q car. now the
freight Is held until a fair-siZed load
is accumulated In some cases this
means that Podunk receives only one,
two or three cars per week. where
formerly it had one every day. but
shippers are finding they can adapt
themselves to the scheme with little
hardship, and the saving, taking the
country as a whole, is tremendous

will allow the construction of build

are specifically termed essential
Another original restriction was that
the buildings should be temporary.
