FOR SYSTEM ON WATERWAYS
Railway Trustee of Opinion That an
Inland Marine Gould BE Made
Highly Profitable.

The establishment Of an internal
waterways merchant marine under
government control is suggested in a
letter to Mayor Calvin from John
Weld Peck, Cincinnati Southern
railway trustee. The letter in part
is as follows: "Individual steam
boat or lines owned by comparative
by small companies, reaching but
few points and without systematic
interchange, have proven, in modern
times, generally speaking, unproft-
able and unable to maintain them
selves.
'The secret of successful operation
upon these rivers lies in a unified
system reaching all ports under the
many snavigable tributaries of the
Mississippi river, with a systematic
interchange of freight at modern
docks located at convenient ports of
interchange, regularity of sailings, a
modern type of vessel designed ex-
clusively for the transportation of
freight and the same measure of re-
sponsibility upon the part of the car
rier for the safe carriage of goods as
is now in force as to railroads. Ma
rine ways and shipping yards exist at
many points along all of these
streams, and with a comparatively
moderate capitalization, possibly $5,-
100000, such system could be in
stalled by the government."-Cin-

URGED TO F0REGo SAMPLES
Sacrifice Asked Of Women WouIGE
Mean Great Deal to the coun-
try Just Now.

Every woman loves them-those
nice little bundles of fabrics the
stores have pampered us with for
years. It's such fun to look them
over, and feel them and hold them
up to the light and wet them and
wash them. The sample fever is
something awful once you catch it
comes in flashes, like malaria-sends
you scooting into store just to get
few, or rushing out to the mail box
all hours of the night with letter
requesting others.
This is no time to ask for samples
of wool goods-or cotton or silk
either. The National Retail Dry
Goods association furnishes figures
which show there is an average Of
1 per cent given away in samples
That surely is altogether too big
waste for war times-and an abso-
lutely needless waste, too.
Suppose we just forget that there
ever were such things as samples for
a while. It's mighty little thing

individual; whopping big matter
