 "On March 1, 1916, for the first time for 2R years, the American Railway Association reported a net shortage of cars. This was due mainly to weather conditions, and to an acute congestion at Eastern ports. It disappeared, however and did not return again for five months On September 1, 1916. however, a new shortage was reported again and net shortages varying from 34,- 900 to 139 ,0O0 cars have been report ed every month since. This unbroken continuance of our shortage for more than 20 months is without prece- dent in the history of American rail roading. The car shortage is again )n the ascendency now. and Will assuredly reach its peak early in October when the crop movement. together with the coal traffic will further augment the demands upon the railroads"

WASHINGTON, July 24.-In the light of experience with transporta- ton difficulties during the Winter of 1917-18, chiefs Of the United States railroad administration con slider that additional locomotives are more necessary than additional freight cars.
 Discussing the decision recently announced to build 100000 new cars for American railroads during the present year, railroad administra tion officials say the number was fixed only after every locomotive that existing facilities could turn out during the next year had been ordered
 "It was not a shortage of cars that brought about congestion in the past" is is said at the Railroad Ad. ministration. "In fact, SO many cars get damned up in terminals that they nearly blocked transportation them selves. The shortage was in motive power. So in considering the matter this year, when the War Industries Board fixed the amount of steel whicn 1t would allOt to railroad use, we as signed to the engine shops every pound that there was a reasonable chance of getting into new locomo- tive this year. Any engine builder who can increase his capacity can still get orders.
 After that, an estimate of the amount of steel available was made and as many cars as can come out of 1t were ordered. That happened to be 100000. They are of com posite steel and wood design, adopt ed because it will get more cars cat of the steel supply. Only the event in itself will show, but we consid CT that the construction ordered will be sufficient to meet the strains though all of our calculations ar. based uaon an increased traffic bur den for railroads next year" Samuel O. Dunn. editor of the Railway Age Gazette of Chicago u6lnB uBuTcS CoIupitCu Oy OiheoA Thompson. head of the Bureau ol Railway lines and Statistics. has made a prediction that the new car construction will not obviate short age when crop and coal movement pile upon railroads after October He declares that 125.000 freight csIs are worn out and junked normalls each year by American roads. and that during recent years new con struction has failed to keep pace with the wastage. There were 407: fewer freight cars in use on Ameri can railroads in 1917 than there were at the beginning of 1911. he concludes, placing the present total at approximately 2.s00.0O0. This to tai, he asserts. is 250.000 short oi the number required to handle the freight.

MEANS OF COMBATING
BLACKLEG.
Losses Serious This Year-Some
Remedies and Preventatives.

Losses from blackleg have been
unusually heavy this year in Colora-
do. Stockmen will do well to note
the following well-known facts re-
specting this dread disease:
Blackleg is germ disease affect
ing cattle only. Cattle from three
months to three years are liable to
become affected. Symptoms are
swelling over shoulder or hip with
gas under the skin. Animals live but
few hours. There is no cure Tor
the disease, aside from the serum
save your money. Roweling the
dewlap, feeding sulphur and such
things, will not prevent blackleg.
Two things will prevent blackleg,
viz, burning the carcasses and vac
cination. If fuel is not available for
burning, bury deep after covering
with quick lime Several vaccines
are on the market, more or less re-
liable. The attenuated virus in pill
powder, or string form.
The government blackleg vaccine
is in powder form and must be placed
in solution and given with hypoder-
mic syringe The above vaccine may
be obtained from the Agricultural
College free. but vaccinatins
outfit is necessary, which costs $3.50.
The atteuuated methods of vaccina-
ton.
The germ-free blackleg vaccine
(aggressin) is safe and very erect

confer a lasting immunity and Will

tered. Given hypodermically.
Blackleg Filtrate is germ free and
very effective. 1t must be given with
a hypodermic syringe and viii cost
about 20 cents dose.
Anti-blackleg serum confers only
temporary immunity, but in large
doses has curative value.
See the Agricultural College ex-
hibit at the coming stock show in
Denver and talk these things over
with the man in charge. 1t Is your
own fault If you lose calves from

ploy veterinarian to administer
these new treatments for blackleg.

WAR SAVINGS.

'sYar Savings Stamps mark an
epoch in our national life. '-Secre-
tary of the Treasury McAdoo.
Many a successful business man
has said that the saving of his first
dollar was the most important single
act of his life; that it marked the be-
ginning of a habit and course of
conduct to which he attributed his
success.
Something very analogous to this,
II is believed, is going to be the eff
feet on the American Nation of the
War Savings campaign. Not only are
millions of individual citizens going to
begin to save. but this nabit of econ
omy and saving Is going to be col
lective movement. a movement not OF
individuals alone but of the nation.
The habit of saving formed now
has deeper incentive than ordinary.
We are saving now not alone for self
ish reasons. we are saving not from
patriotism, saving not alone for our
selves but for our country. The COM
bination of patriotism and thrift is,
indeed, going to make the War Saw

THE PEOPLE ARE SAVING.

1t has been pointed out as evidence
of how strongly the duty of saving
had been impressed upon the English
people By the war-savings campaign
in that country that in the year 1916,
although purchasing billions of dol
lars of war bonds. the small savings
bank depositors in England increased
their deposits in savings banks over
SEQ, 100000, this in face of the fact
that the English have been noted as
a spending rather than as saving
people.
1t seems that a similar process has
taken place in America. Two great
Liberty Loans were fioated in the
year Just closing, and nearly $1,000
900 900 OF Liberty Loan Bonds were
purchased by the people. Yet in
stead of being depleted the savings
banks deposits of the country have
been increased. The president Of
one of the large New York savings
banks is quoted as saying on Deeem-
Der goth. 1917:
zone Of the most remarkable things
about the Liberty Loan campaigns is
the small effect they have had on the
savings banks accounts, which show
an increase. This we lay to the ap-
peals made to the American people
to purchase the bonds out of their
earnings. paying for them from week
to week or from month to month. The
people appear to be doing as they
have been urged, purchasing the
bonds from current savings"

The minute that thrift stamps were
introduced in Denver's public
schools, that minute the candy shop
keeper began to miss many pennies
that had formerly been his.

school has stopped by that same ia

etous eyes on the candy kisses, licor-
ice drops and all-day suckers that
were once a part OF his life and be-
