Is still en- route to the jobbers, but
freight and express are both con-
eested nowadays, and it may be some
time before this supply reaches the
iobbers. In the meantime, therefore,
II is necessary that we distribute, as
widely as possible. the stock that we
are manufacturing daily, together
with that now on the jobbers' and
retailers shelves, in order that it
may get 70 tho Influenza districts
quickly. Our normal output is about
1000 dozen per day. We are putting

Railroads OF the west will reor-
ganize freight routings Immediately
and will abandon at once all freight
and passenger solicitation as the first
steps in the program TO unity the
systems under government control. II
was announced after an all day con-
ference OF the western department of
the railroad war board in the Office of
William Sproule. the chairman.
Discontinuance of some passenger
service that has grown through com.
petition and changes in passenger
schedules were forecast in an official
statement made public after the con
ference. The board also announced
its Intention to build new routes
wherever the public service requires
them"
The freight system will be reor-
ganized on basis that will take away
the privilege of shippers TO designate
carriers, but will allow them TO eN-
press a preference The railroads will
reserve the right to disregard the re
quest when speed and efficiency in
transportation business may thus be
promoted"
MANY MEN RELEASED
A plan 10 transport castbound
freight over the Southern Pacific,
weslbouDd over the Santa Fe and EN-
ply cars over the Western Pacific lines
is said to have been abandoned as i'm
practical.
The decision TO abandon freight
and passenger solicitation, under an
order from William G. McAdoo, di-
rector general OF the railroads OF the
United States. will release for other
work hundreds OF men in the west.
Solicitation was dropped because the
competitive system On which II was
based has been done away with.
The roads are now government
system" it was explained. and it
does not matter 10 the government
which road the passenger takes or To
which road the shipper gives his
freight"
THE intention is" the boards
statement said, TO interfere as lit
tie as possible with ordinary handl.
ing OF the shippers business. There
is no desire to do things disturbing to
the shippers. The expedited use Of
transportation facilities for the pur
poses of the government will be the
governing factor"

tees to act under its direction in deal.
ing with local problems in Seattle,

Library Association Meets.
(Contributed)

On Friday evening, Feb. 22nd,
the Library Association held a
very important meeting at the
graded school building.
Mr.. Robertson acted as chair
man of the meeting. He said
that before a Carnegie Library
can be secured for Rockingham
that the voters of the town must
vote for it and as it is quite a
time before the next election
takes place it has been thought
wise to try to secure a free Pub
lie Library for the city.
The object of the meeting was
then stated by Mrs. L. D. Nc
Phail, namely, to try to secure a
free Public Library for the town
provided funds can be obtained
to run the library for twelve
months. The approximate esti-
mate of the cost for a year is
$500.
It was then moved and carried
that the Association proceed with
the establishment of a public
library for Rockingham, provided
that ST, 500 can be raised.
Messrs. w. N. Everett, w. B.
Cole, Claude Gore, and John
Dockery were then elected as
members of the Finance COM
mittee to raise the necessary
funds for establishing the library.
Mr.. B. F. Palmer then told the
Association that the Richmond
Club property was to be sold
Monday and submitted a plan to
the Association for buying this
property.
Messrs. John Dockery, Bruce
Benton and w. E. Harrison were
appointed as members of a com.
mittee to act for the library as.
ISOLATION in buying the club fur.
niture. After this the meeting
was adjourned.
