The sudden news Of Gerrnany's
surrender, coming late last Saturday
night, caused an unprecedented de-
fnand for Sunday newspapers. which
we were entirely unable to deal with,
1t being impossible to obtain extra
papers. A great many regular GUS
toners were unable to get paper,
owing to our inability to control the
immense crowd in our store, and to
avoid this in future, we must take
steps to reserve these papers. 1t
may be necessary to close our doors
from ten to thirty A. M. Sum-
days in order to get the papers ready
for sale and distribution. in which
case we ask the indulgence Of any
who may be waiting. to assist us in
avoiding the very unpleasant condi-
ton Of last Sunday. which caused
us to be unable to serve our regular
customers.

by the Interstate Commerce Commits

In October last year the roedS
earned S122. .4s7 .O92. or nearly s17.UOo,-
900 more than for the month this
year. The reason for the decrease is
shown, however, by difference OF
$b22 per mile more in operating ex.
penses for October, 1918, over the
same month In 1917. Operating ex-
enues were only $401 more this year
than last year, the figures show.

FOUR PROBES FOR
SENATE THIS WEEK

This week will be one continuous
Il lid day for Senate Investigators.
81 the end of the week there will
be four Investigations in full blast.
according TO present indications, with
prospects of one OF two more.
The Senate Judiciary subcommittee,
which has been tracing the devious
trails Of the German propagandlsts,
awaits the call from Senator overman,
chairman OF the committee, to resume
its hearings.
The Commerce Committee, which re-
laxed from Its investigating activities
with the Christmas holidays, will
probably resume its probe into the
Hog Island shipyard by the end OF
the week.
The first of the railroad hearings by
the Interstate Commerce Committee
has been hxed for Friday, when Dr.
rector General McAdoo is expected to
testify.
An important series of hearings, to
consider the labor problem, with spe-
cial reference to the returned soldier,
is que TO begin in a few days. John
D. Rockefeller, jr., Henry Ford, and
Samuel Gompers are some OF the nota-
bles who are to be heard.
= The coal hearings, which are being
conducted by a subcommittee headed
by Senator Vardaman OF Mississippi,
are also expected to get busy shortly
after the Senate gets settled down
10 its regular work.
Over on the House side there are a
few Investigations on the docket
Notable among these are the probe
into the affairs OF the National Secur-
ity League and the packers.

You can get very sick stuffing candy,

In order to supply the army with

Aside from sweets, the canteens will
continue to carry such art IeJes as
cannot well be had In French stores
and for which there II q steady de-
mand among the American soldiers.
Naturally, transportation conditions
will be much better now that hostili-
ties have ceased. The enormous num-
Der OF motor vehicles used In bring
ing up guns. ammunition, and men u
the front lines will be released. the
service on the railroads will improve
as men return to work on them, and
a better distribution OF traffic over
main arteries become possible. Thus
IL will be much easier for the Red
Triangle to keep It's canteeBs well
stocked up.
To Relieve COagestiOn.
Another important consideration is
that the centeens will Re fewer In
number as the army becomes eoneen-
trated in large camps. These points
undoubtedly will be selected with q
view TO their transportation facili-
ties. So. instead OF being obliged to
support a vast number OF small pointl
in the front lines. some OF them al
most inaccessible for motor transpor-
tation Of any sort. the post exchange
department will have its problem
considerably simplifed by better To-
cat .ons.
Through the tremendous energy and
efficiency of the men who are nov
running the post exchange depart
ment, Il has been possible to solve
practically all Of the problems except
that OF transportation. The Y. n G
A. has In France at the present writ
ing a supply OF canteen goods SUI
6cient for forty days, and In one
system OF warehouses has enough to
supply the army for two weeks, even

congestion in railway centers AMI the
great diffusion OF the points OF con-
tact with the troops, some "l" can
teens were practically empty. while
the warehouses bulge with the things
they need.
1t must be understood that THU
condition Is due to no lack OF effcI'
ency on any ones part. The Y. NJ Z
A. and the army, alike, are making
heroic efforts to solve all the prob
lens of transportation. But owing tc
the unfortunate fact that two bodies
cannot occupy the same space al tht

time to empty ten-gallon JUS

For several weeks farmers on the

they found two stalks Of corn six

TEXAS RAISES BUMPER
RICE CROP DUE TO WAR

DALLAS, Tex, Dec. 29.-The war
resulted in increased production and
increased consumption of rice in
Texas during the last year. An ex-
tensive campaign in the South for
greater acreage and for use OF rice
as a substitute for wheat was largely
responsible.
Big producers in Texas, where
100000 sacks of rough rice is grown
annually. believe that the war has
taught housewives the value of rice
as food and that the increase in con-
sumption win continue. II is esti-
mated that IS per cent Of the coun-
