RAIL OFFICIALS STEP OUT OF

LIMELIGHT AS GOOD FELLOWS

Railroad officials are no longer

tertaining.. Due to a suggestion from
Director General McAdoo of the rail-
roads of the United States. they have
stepped over into class along with
the ordinary citizens and are pinching

manner as other people.
In other years and in the years of

a fund that was used for entertaining
purposes. For instance. when a man
who could control a considerable vol.
ume of business came to town. or
when some outside newspaper men
blew in. this entertainment fund was
drawn upon and. in spending il. the
visitors were shown a good time All
that has passed, for Mr.. McAdoo has
put a crimp in spending money for
any such purpose.

Italy surely has found us not want

In the Red Cross there is no high
