This problem, which is a local one

even to the smallest of the political

ports that he rs daily saving through
one route the services of fifty men on
the farms at the expense of but three
men in the operation of his truck.
This spells Increased man-power
that food production may be made
certain. Just as the operation of a re-
turn loads bureau in Pennsylvania,
that rail congestion he relieved, means
coal for the navy, to bunker the ships.
and it means an Increased transport
