WOLF IS REALLY HERE NOW
" Every Individual Does His Duty
Problem of Freight Congestion
Will Be Solved.

We are regularly told about this
time Of year to do our duty by the
freight car-tO load it heavily and I'M
load ii speedily, so that it may go on
its way rejoicing TO the next man who
Is waiting. There is danger that we
minimize the present freight cOnges-
ton by thinking this is the same old
trouble, and that ii doesn't amount to
much, anyway. We have heard the
cry Of wolf a good many times, and
nothing disastrous ever happened. But
let us not be deceived. This year the
wolf IS really upon the flOck-the wolf
of hunger and Of cold. 1t Is hard to
get wheat to the mills, and perhaps
even harder to get coal to the city
yards. So let's keep the cars moving.

BAR RAILWAYS FROM CITIES
Introduction of Roads Into England
Accompanied by Many Direful
Predictions of Disaster.

The attitude Of many people toward
airplanes reminds a writer for the
London Chronicle Of the fears with
which the introduction Of railways into
England was met. Then the direful
prophecy that engines would explode
like a rocket frequently was heard,
and it was a general belief that loco
motive would devastate towns, blast
the countryside and choke the farmers
stock. City officials In many towns
vigorously protested against the ap-
prOach of railways, and there were
many ordinances drafted prohibiting
the laying of tracks nearer than one
mile to village. For many years 1t
was necessary for persons wishing to
travel from Leeds to go by cab to
Hunslet, more than a mile away, In
order TO reach railway station.
