Good Will Given a New impetus

A statement of Dodge Brothers
war activities is due the owners
of their cars.
Dodge Brothers refrained, dur
ing the progress of the war,
from any reference to the per-
Torrance of the car in Govern
ment service.
It seems proper now, however,
to disclose the facts, because
they are creditable facts-in-
tensifying that good will which
owners Of Dodge Brothers cars
have always manifested.
Dodge Brothers car was the
only one of its class approved
and adopted by the War De-
partment.
In a separate Ordnance Works,
built especially for the purpose,
costing millions of dollars and
employing thousands Of their
skilled motor workrnen, Dodge
Brothers undertook an import
ant duty designated by the War
Department.
Without the aid Of their great
motor organization, Dodge
Brothers could not have full
filled tn e heavy obligation
which they were asked to as
sumo by the Ordnance Depart
ment.
The other service required of
Dodge Brothers motor works,

showed good form and the no decisaon
was approved by the big audience.
This bout is the first of series Of
boxing contests to be staged at the
plant of the Pensacola ShipbuiIding
Company where there is much good
athletic timber. An athletic amateur
association has been formed and will
have their own gymnasium in the
near future.

London, Dec. 14.-Marshal Foch has
sent to Lloyd George his picture with
the inscription, ITO the great prime
minister who drove away the clouds

by the Government, was to con-
tlnue to furnish their cars as
they were needed.
They were furnished, not in
hundreds, but in thousands
both for the training camps
here, and for service in Bel
GUM, France and Italy.
The record of those thousands
of camp and army cars is one in
which any owner may feel the
utmost pride and satisfaction.
Their performance justified the
compliment implied in their Sc
lection by the Government.
The great works in which
nearly three hundred thousand
of their cars have been pro-
duced in the past four years fur
nished a vast store-house of hui
man energy and equipment for
the ordnance work.
Naturally, it will take time to
adjust the motor works to it's
full accustomed activity.
Gradually Dodge Brothers will
resume the grateful task Of
continuing to deserve the good
will Of America and indeed Of
the whole world.
Dodge Brothers consider good
will their most valuable posses
sion.
They will never knowingly do
anything to lessen it.

WHEAT ACREAGE
IS UP 100000

Bismarck, N. D. May 22.-Pros-
poets for bumper crop Of wheat are
better than they have been at any
time in the last ten years, Commis-
sioner Of Agriculture and Labor
Hagan advised the state council Of
defense In formal report today. The
spring wheat acreage now sown is
7,70O, 900 acres, an increase of 100000
acres over 1917. The seeding Is COM
pleted everywhere in the state, and
in most sections the wheat ia already
up. ''The crop is in an excellent con-
dttion-as good and even better pros
poets are general throughout the
state than we have had at this season
of the year in the last ten years."
said Mr.. Hagan. The commissioner
reported an increase of more than 100
per cent in winter rye acreage, 1,500,-
900 acres, as compared with 636,857
acres last year. He admitted there
had been some winter killing in rye
which was planted in fall ploWed
land, where it did not have the pro-
lection of the stubble. The condition
Of oats, with an acreage Of 2,544 900,
he reported very good. He noted a
slight decrease in the acreage of bar
ley, owing to difficulty in procuring
good seed. The fax acreage, he
stated, could not be estimated at this
time, as seeding is still in progress,
Most Of the old land, he stated, al
ready has been seeded to coarser
grains, and the greater part of the
fax will go in, on new breaking.

Some of Them Will Be Re

Directors
Ml'ADOO ISSUES
SWEEPING ORDER
Executives Found It Diff
cult to Forget Compet-
ing Methods
(Ry Associated Press.D

Washington. May 22.-Every rail-
road president in the United States
was relieved from active duty as ex-
ecutive manager of his road yester-
day by Director General McAdoo,
who will appoint a federal director
for each road, responsible only to
the railroad administration. In
may be named federal director.
To safeguard the interests Of
stockholders and maintain the indt-
yiduality OF each railway, federal di-
rectors, whenever possible, will be
appointed from among the operating
officers of the property the director
general announced. This will avoid
disrupting any roads working organ
zatton unnecessarily.
Since government operation Of
railroads started, nearly five months
ago. Director General MoAdoo has
considered the advisability of taking
out OF the hands of company presi-
dents. many Of whom are financial
and corporate officers. rather than
operating executives.
It has become evident many rail-
way presidents had difficulty in
breaking away from former methods
Of managing their roads as If they
were still competing with other
lines. it Is said. This was noticeable
to some extent in the reluctance of
executives to route traffic over the
ship Of lines and 4 to throw sopen
terminal ana other facilities to COM
mon use. ~-..
A large proportion Of present rail-
way presidents will be named to
manage their own properties, but in
all cases the presidents will be re-
quired to resign their official posi-
tions with the companies, 4"and to
become exclusive representatives of.
the United States railroad admin
istration."
Salaries From Government.
Consequently their salaries will 9be
paid by the government, and they
can receive no pay from the railway
night that most Of Mr.. McAdoo's
principal assistants of the railroad
administration will receive more
than $4,000 q year.
It was noted that Mr.. McAdoo, as
secretary Of the treasury, receives
the usual cabinet members salary Of
$12,000Ia year, and is paid nothing
as director general Of the railroads.
The elimination Of presidents as
operating officers will cut off allow
ance OF their salaries from operating
revenues and compel companies to
pay the salaries from the funds they
get from the government as COM
pensation for lease OF their roads. or
from other SOURCES Of railway in-I
come. Presidents' salaries now run
as high as 100000. 1t is understood.
The railroad administration is not
expected to pay more than $4,000 to
anyone. Il
The expenditure Of nearly billion
dollars for improvements, equipment
and extensions this year will be
directors to be appointed, approx
Ynately 200.
