THIS ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN BROUGHT
 RESULTS STEADILY

In the arly part of 1911 the Grad dock-Terry company of LynchburS, Va. ran a whole page advertisement in the leading daily papers of the south featuring their $l00,O00 club This club was made up of nine sales men who each sold and shipped more than $100,000 worth of shoes during the year 1910 and as this page adver- tisement carried pictures and write up of each of these s$100,000 salesmen, their salesmen who did not sell Sl0O,- 0OO worth of shoes in 1910 made an un- usual effort to reach this allotment Tn 1911, so that they would be members of the Craddock Terry company's s1e0000 club and so that their pie lures would appear in this advertise ing campaign the next year, and as a result of this added incentive to sell and ship more than $100,000, their $100 900 club has grown year after year until this year they are in po- siuion to report a selling organization made up entirely of men who averaged selling and shipping more than $l0o,- 000 last year.
 This advertising campaign has not only been beneficial to their salesmer but it has increased the business of the Craddock-Terry company wonder fully, as will be shown by the figures given in their double-page advertise ment which appears in this issue-in fact, while their total shipments for 1910 were only s3,SS3,667. under the stimulating effect of this annual ad- vertising campaign featuring their s100.O00 club their business has grown | by leaps and bounds until last year | their total shipments only lacked few | thousands dollars of reaching $l1,- ] 0C0 000

Few people realize the changes that have been going on in our railroads. For the past two decades they have been ground between the upper and neither millstones of increased wages for labor and decreased freight rates
 All of their years have been lean years and each system has had to study eff ficiency and economy in order to main tain the equipment, and keep out of tue hands of receivers. As a result all sorts of improvements have been made in our rolling stock to increase trans- portation without additional cost, and we have today, notwithstanding the poverty of the railway companies, the best transportation system of the world
 We have been carrying our passengers and freight at a greater economy than any other nation, and our freight and passenger rates are today about the lowest of the world Before the war 1t cost less than eight cents to take bushel of wheat from Chicago to New York and the average freight rate of the whole country was less than three fourths of a cent per ton mile. The term ton mile means the carrying of a ton Of goods for a distance of one mile. That is what we have been paying. A two- horse wagon load of good has been ITdHSpOTteu IOuT I0ileS TOT three cents Think of toting that much goods that distance for postage stamp.
 That has been the average price for all the traffic upgrade and down all over the country. It was the rate paid when the farmers were getting 80 cents a bushel for wheat, and it was the rate they paid last year when they were re- ceiving more than S2 a bushel. It was the rate when cotton was worth IS cents a pound, and it was the same when the price rose to more than 800 per bale.
 Tn contrast with this I give the rates which the people of other countries were paying when the began. The rate mile in Great Britain was more than three times what we are now paying. The rate in Austria was twice as large and that of Norway and Sweden still larger. Our actual rate was less than 75 hundredths of cent In France they were paying one and three tenths of a cent. In Germany more than one and one-third cents. The cost in Russia more than one cent. The cost of the same service in the United Kingdom was just about two and two-fifths of railroad materials were cheaper and wages lower i'll Europe than in the Un!- ted States. The country traversed was much flatter whereas our railroads crossed many mountains and we had to lift our goods uphill and down.
 There are no railroads n the world which have as big cars and as strong locomotives as those of the United States The average American locomo- tive is twice as heavy and twice as

What Country Town Has Done

The Woman's Home Companion says: "Sabetha Kan, with population of 1920 has led the way in originating and carrying out a plan of country town preparedness Up to September 1 this little city had raised $50oo for helping out in the various war activities. It had
 s4OO0 of this amount in the bank ready for use as occasion might demand. In addition 100 gallons of fruit and vege- tables had been canned to be sold dur ing the winter or otherwise disposed of by the local authorities.
 "Sabethas plan is unique in that it was originated by the citizens of the town themselves. They decided to have one big, all inclusive organization. Be- fore the Kansas council of defense had its plans under way, the townspeople were busy with the activities cham pioned by themselves.
 "The first money, amounting to over S200. was raised on tag day early in the season. Then the women were reg istered, three months before people be- gan to think about plan of national registration.
 "Octcber B, the latest bulletin from Sabetha: Our conservation committee had yo5 quarts of donated canned foods for sale The food was sold at auction, and patriotism ran high. one quart of toma- tOeS DrlHSlIlS Sl.4 All SOiQ nlSn because of appreciation of the work of the ladies who canned this during the hot weather. The proceeds of the sale were used for buying hospital supplies.
 Our hospital supply committee has the town workroom. and seven work
 rooms in the country, these latter meet ing weekly or fortnightly. One country workroom has made 400 surgical pieces since July 1. The hospital supplies are all made under tie direction of the na- tional surgical dressings committee of New York. now national auxiliary of i the American Red Cross Since 1t is more convenient to have articles of one kind in one box. and since small commu- mites make several different articles, the

tate $S,O00 000,0O0 to maintain the rail way facilities equal to the traffic of the country for five years after that time. These vast sums have not been spent, and the situation is such that the govern ment will be forced to enormously in crease our railway investment.
 At the same time many economies Of all kinds will probably be introduced through government control The luxuries of travel will be e9olisnee and the passenger service will be cut to the minimum. All freight will be routed over the shortest possible route and by this means, together with the cutting off of unnecessary service, millions of train miles will, be saved. It is estimated that more than 16.- 900 passenger miles were cut off last year.
 Great savings can be made in com bining the railroad offices of the cities in uniting the depots, rerouting freight and passenger lines and in cutting out unnecessary transportation. If the gov ernment should permanently take con trol of the railroads, the state railway commissions and state railway officers of one kind or another will be abol- ished. As it is now there are AZ state commissions. each of which has it's own regulations and it's own taxes. Tn many of the states each railroad system has to maintain general offices and a large number of unnecessary railway officials at high salaries. It is estimated that the roads have to file something like 3,000,000 reports to the several states every year, and that the duplication of reports costs about S20,000,000 per annum, or enough to pay five per cent on an increased cap italization of $400,000 900. The commits sions with their corps of inspectors and officials are estimated to cost the state about $5O,000,0 900 a year.

pliances. Some require that the ca- booses have eight wheels, while one state insists that the caboose be 20 feet long instead of IS. This additional two feet 1t IS claimed, has cost the rail- roads going through that state more than $S00,0O0. One state demands that passenger car windows be screened and another forbids any screens what soever. One requires that each car have spittoons and another prohibits them for sanitary reasons. One west ern state made 8 law to prevent brakemen from getting on top of the freight cars while in motion; and in southern legislature a bill was in troduced requiring the construction of buildings to protect laborers from the weather while repairing car tracks and other equipment. The idea that Uncle Sam will permit such conditions to continue is ridiculous.

powerful as the average English loco
 motive, and the biggest one in thls country is four times as big as the big gest one in Great Britain. Take the Centipede, which has been running on
 the Erie railway for the past two or three years. It is the largest and most powerful locomotive ever built, and 1t
 will carry a trainload weight of almost S6OO0,ooO pounds It is capable of haul ing a train of freight cars four and
 three-quarters of mile long, The engine
 weighs more than S53000 pounds, and
 it has actually hauled 250 50-ton loaded gondoa coal cars. This locomotive is used as a pusher on the eght-mile grade of the Erie east of Susquehanna, Pa,
 where the climb is 66 feet to the mile. It does the work that three biz engines did in the past.
 The first locomotive to run regularly or rails in the United States weighed 10 tons. It was made in England 100 years ago and was used on the Della are and Hudson Canal company line between Honesdale and Carbondale, Pa. The first locomotive made in Amer ica was manufactured at West Point, N. Y., in 1880. It was used on a little six-miIe railroad running out of Charleston. & C., which had been op- erated by sails and later by means of an endless chain platform, the motive power being a stallion enclosed in a fence-like cage. The horse carried the train. along with 12 passengers at l2 miles per hour The steam engine carried a train of four or five cars at 21 miles an hour. That road is now part of the Southern railway system, and it has wood cut showing a train in action. The locomotive looks like a dnnleW n0ina in riSOn with the giant monsters which now drag our cars, and especially in compari- son with the new passenger locomo- tiVes of the mountain type, recently put in by the Southern. These are the largest passenger engines made. They weigh with their tender, ,000 pounds each.
 The largest freight engines we are new using weigh 40 times as much as our first locomotives. We have some hauling coal from the West Virginia mountains to the seaports which with their tenders weigh more than three- quarters of million pounds. The largest passenger engine on the other side of the water, belongs to France. It is the Baltic, which runs on the Cbemin de Fer du Nord. It weighs less than third as much as the coal locomotives I have referred to and it does not compare in power with our pa ssenger engines. We have some, for | instance, of the Pacific type, which are used in the Blue Ridge mountains to haul trains of steel cars up a grade of 80 feet to the mile. They are tho most powerful machines of their kind ever built, and they climb these grades at an average speed of 25 miles an hour. Some of our roads are now put ting in electric locomotives which have a guaranteed speed of 60 miles an hour. There is one on the New York

A 7 AKING the railroads efficient lNM That is what Uncle Sam has Q\JJl undertaken to do. He is put
 ting his giant hand on the tangled network of iron which covers the United Sates. He is tightening the meshes and making every line do its duty. He has as his assistant the best railroad men of the country, and has brought them together in this one great work of transportation applied to Win ming the war. From now on every mile of passenger traffic, every ton of freight transportation, and every atom of fric- ton in running the railways will be reg ulated to this end and no other.
 The work has begun, and the results are already apparent. The average run of a freight car has been % miles per day If it can be increased only five miles it will add 515,000 cars to our rail- way equipment. The average run of a locomotive has been 75 miles a day. Ii We can make it run l5 miles farther, we will have what is equal to more than 130o0 additional locomotives for fight ing the Germans. Ordinarily one loco motive in seven is undergoing repairs. Ihe railroad officials tell me that this percentage might be reduced so as 70 add 3o00 locomotives to the government service. In short, by speeding up and watching repairs on the equipment IS well as by heavier loading of both cars and engines we can enormously increase the rolling stock which is so far below the government needs. Some ct the members. of the war board believe we can thus add to our present supply what will equal about S00000 cars and 16,N00 locomotives. Moreover. these ei- ficiency methods are already in opera ton, and the saving has been steadily increasing ever since war was declared last spring.
 The war work is excellent. More than 100000 men have been moved on the trains here and there over the United States, and 30 per cent of those Who have travelled "A hours have had sleep ing cars. In the transfer of the troops there have been only four derailments and of the vast number carried only three have been killed.

Tent Stoves for Soldiers

From the Popular Science Monthly.
 No mental pictures this year of our soldiers freezing in their camps, They are made as comfortable as possible. all though the stove with which the govern ment provides each tent is not exactly like the big brick fireplace or the orna- mental steam radiator at home It is made of tin. with a jointed pipe to let out the smoke through an opening in the top of the tent.
 As the majority of the camps have purposely been located in sections of the country where the winters are mild, this heating device should prove ade- quate.
 Burnin- wood as 1t does. fuel may be nad at any groves or wood lots which happen to be near the soldiers camps

Washington, April 13.-According
to an Associated Press dispatch from
Hardin, Manchuria, American marines
have been landed from United States

Siberian seaport.
The dispatch states that the Am

The landing of American marines
at Vladivostok is expected to have a

American forces joining the British
and Japanese forces in protecting life
and the vast stores of war material
belonging to the Allies at the Siber-
