tor General McAdoo today ordered
curtailment of trans-continental pas.
senger schedules from Chicago west
affective June 2, to save 11,728,000
train miles year by eliminating
competition and cutting down running
schedules.
The curtailment with reductions pre-.

in saving Of about $1s 100000 year.
Under the new arrangements the San.

Pacific to San Francisco, the Burling-
ton and Northern Pacific to Portland,
Ore, and the Milwaukee to Seattle.
Five train will make the trip to all
four Pacific coast terminals in seventy
two hours and secondary trains in
seventy-eight hours. Extra fare now
charged on a few fast trains will be
eliminated.
Mail schedules will be rearranged to
establish parity for all the terminals
and intermediary commercial centers
so that the new plan will not discrim.
mate against any city. The reductions
are to be effected mainly by taking off
number of local trains and adding
their traffic to the through trains
whose length and running schedules
consequently will be increased.
The public will be adequately served
under the new arrangement, said a
railroad administration announcement,
but probably more upper berths will
be sold than in the past.
A similar curtailment is now being
About 35,000,000 train miles already

Iowa man in Agency, Wspe1lo county.
OPPORTUNITIES ARE GOOD
1.-THE opportunities for the farmer to-
day are as great If not greater than
ever before. The state and national
governments have taken hold and are
backing the farmer. They have es-
tablished experiment stations all over
the u. S. and have published PAM

"You may go to the west where they
make speciality of fruit raising or to
Canada where wheat is speciality but

can not be improved upon.
<The pay in dollars and cents de-
ponds on, the man himself and the

must be just as willing to care for

Monday or any other week day. And
by taking good care Of every thing
and raising as much food as possible
you give service to the world and hui

The soldiers must have wheat and
we must eat the corn because we In

will not keep and therefore it can not

must send it.
