A letter was received today by the

Roth, representative Of the car service
section of the railroad administration,
in reply to the request sent by the Ore
gon commission to allow the Oregon
mills enough cars to ship the by-pro-
ducts resulting from the filling gf gov,
ernment orders. In the request, the state
commission stated that these by-pro-
ducts in many cases represented the
profits, and that their disposal was an
absolute necessity. Mr.. Roth in reply
ing stated that it is desired by the
government to furnish equipment to the
mills without discrimination, and that
every effort was being made to relieve
the northwest situation, admitted to be
in poor shape at the present time. 1t is
hoped by the government, however, to
relieve this condition in a short time,
as there is a heavy movement of load
ed cars from the east, and of empty
cars from California.

the fact Killifer and Kilduff are
likely to leave for war within the
next month. Nearly all of the 9TH

during the season for the same rea-

from the Giants.
Defensively the Cubs are stronger
this year than the Giants. In the
recent series they were stronger

probable McGraw's men will hit

Is a purely American institution, and
besides being good bread, as the Flor

uses to which it may be put:
Peanut hay is used for feeding live
stock.
Peanut hulls are used Tor fuel,

Use Of the Auto Growing

Tangible evidence. that the passen-
ger car Is playing as great a part as
the motor truck in releasing the re-
sources of the nation, In supplied by
thousands of requests made at the 100
branches and depots OF the B. F.
Goodrich Rubber Company for route
cards and road maps for both short
and long business trips.
The great majority Of these re-
quests are for information concern
ing routes into those localities where
II Is known provisions, mercantile
products and commodities in general
use are most available. Reports from
Goodrich branches show that many Of
these cars leave and return to the
top with materials OF every descrip-
ton. Thus, it is performing the func-
ton to both common carrier and
pleasure car.
These reports show also that farm
ers are teaching their wives and
daughters to drive and that many Of
the cars that enter town are piloted
by women.
Farmer. s~uburbanite and city man
have increased their personal eflcien-
sly and are daily saving thousands of
by enlisting the aid of the motor car.
This immense saving of time becomes
more and more noticeable as the drain
on labor from the cities and farming
communities becomes more acute as
a result of the drafting of our man
power into the national army. This
short CUT affects every individual
and agency coming in contact with
the user of the passenger car.
