Railroad Efficiency.

The efficiency of the railroads
since the war began is subject to
proof through easily available sta
tistics This is relative TO their
past performances. These may not
have been as good as they should
have been. but we have always had
the word of unprejudiced European
railway managers that the Ameri-
can lines were conducted with
greater skill than all others The
trouble was that each manager
looked upon his road as complete
entity and was absorbed in it as an
individual problem. failing to see its
relationship TO the transportation
of the country as whole He has
fought and crippled all initiative in
water transportation when he
should have nursed it. He has
jealousy guarded his own termi-
nails when he should have made
them common operating ground
in the interest of a national devel.
Opment From the extreme of
pooling he went TO the extreme of
overcompetition. But. 81 far as he
worked for one property and for one
set of stockholders he worked well
and oonscientiously. but not with
overmuch vision.
Il does not appear probable at
this writing that the Government
is to interfere greatly with the man
ner ia which the railroads are now
being operated. 1t will undoubred-
ly demand a closer supervision Of
of management and satisfy a pub
lie craving for centralized authori-
ty by placing a government officer
in charge of the question of priority
of shipments identified wish gov
eminent work. Priority has been
much abused and is responsible for
a great deal of the confusion and
congestion Whatever happens now
government ownership after the war
seems to be one Of the newt
able Developments

FARMERS WIVES CAN HELP
One Dozen Eggs VIII Buy Two Thrift
Stamps or II Cartridges In
Amerlca's Fight for De-
mocraey Of World.

The Missouri hen, already famous,
has the opportunity of her life to add
to her renown.
Every dozen of Missouri hen eggs
will now buy 10 cartridges for the Amer
lean army. If the Missouri hens get
busy on the Job during the next year
they can lay enough eggs to supply tho
United States soldiers with enough
ammunition to win the war.
Eggs are now bringing 30 cents per
dozen to the poultryman and the farm
er In the rural districts of Missouri;
100 cartridges cost IS. At the present
prices practically every egg laid by a
Missouri hen Is equivalent to a car
fridge for Uncle Sans army.
The ozark Queen" single-comb
white leghorn, champion egg layer in
the state of Missouri for 1915 and 1916,
owned by 8. 8. Zimmerman, Marshfield,
Mo-, has to her record 273 eggs out of
1866 days.
The poultry industry of Missouri,
according to the United States Census
report, the year of 1910 has a greater
value than the wheat and oats crops
combined. Missouri's greatest cereal
crop is corn, the value Of which is ex
ceeded by the crop Of only two other
states in the Union. The value Of a
single years crop is $4,000 J 900. Vast
as this sum is, the little Missouri hen
and her product for two years would
buy the great corn crop produced in
any one year. Missouri has more than
$4,000 acres Of coal area, and also
great fields Of iron, zinc, lead and 9th.
er minerals, supplying manufacturers
with more than 100000 COO in these
materials, but Missouri's hen brings
more wealth to the state by $16,000,000
than all the mineral products com,
bined.
The farmers wife and the poultry
man have a rare opportunity of aiding
the government in equipping the great
new army. One dozen eggs per week
will buy two Thrift Stamps, and in
wo months War Savings Certificate
an be secured for the 16 Thrift
Stamps and the additional amount
3 or IA cents. This will mean 10C
bullets for some soldier at the front
lighting for the cause of liberty.
That same amount, just a little per
sonal sacrifice, would mean a comfort

for two wooden shirts; would buy {

way toward buying him an overcoat

Apropos Of the sale of Liberty bonds
let the fact be not overlooked that
even as meritorious a cause as this,
like many others, can be easily in
jured by an inapplicable or other
wise unfortunate remark made by an
indiscreet salesman. The presentation
Of the case or the appeal intended to
effect bond sale or increase the
amount of bonds already subscribed,
should be free from any slurs or in
situations aimed at or tending to re-
fleet upon the loyalty of the prospec
tive purchaser. Acquiescence is not
won by arousing resentment.
