D. HINES POINTS
OUT BETTER CAR SERVICE
WITH SHORTAGE DECREASE

Walker d. Hines. Director Gen.
eral of Railroads, to-day authorized
the following statement relative to
the freight car situation:
Current discussion or car shor-
tages and related questions makes
it important to bring to the atten-
ton of the public the fact that, con-
trary to what seems to be the pub
lie assumption, conditions in this
respect are substantially more fa-
vorable than hey were in recent
years prior to the war.
On August 1, 1917, the total car
surpluses reported throughout the
country were 43,4S1 cars, whereas
on August 1. 1919. the total car sur
pluses were 107,s00. The total num-
ber of untitled car acquisitions on
August 1, 1917, was 77,257, whereas
the total number of untitled car re-
quisitions on August 1, 1919, was
only 1921.
The number of freight cars in
service and not withdrawn for re-
pairs on July 1, 1917. was 1.9S3 900.
The number of freight cars in ser
vice and not withdrawn for repairs
on July 1, 1919, was 2.063,000.
July Was Good Month.
The very fact of unified control
of all the railroads has tended to
concentrate the comments upon any
inability to perform one hundred
per cent of the transportation re-
quired, but the foregoing figures
show that the situation during and

New u. 5. Government

Sioux Falls, 8. d., Sept. 17.-In an
endeavor to accommodate the crowd
which came last night to hear Sena-
tor johnson all chairs were removed
from the main floor of the big hall

President Wilson seeks to establish
substantially a new government for

On account of the fact that the
Fourth of July came on Friday this
year and Of the proportionately
small amount of work done on the
following day. the falling OFF in the
number of cars repaired in July as
compared with June is clearly ex-
plainable. The number of cars re-
paired per month in May and June
kept fully up to the number repair
and June many shops were still
working on shorter hours than in
January.
Much stress has been laid on the
increase in the percentage of cars
withdrawn for repairs in the recent
months up to and including July.
The fact is that this increase in the
number of cars withdrawn for re-
pairs has not been due to a falling
off in the number of cars repaired
but has been due to a number of
complex factors which have arisen
from the conditions resulting from
the war. The number of cars ac-
tually in service, not including bad
order cars. increased from 1883. 600
on July l, 1917, to .2,065.00o on
July 1, 1919.
Explains Conditions.
me Railroad Administration,
however, is not content with its
aplllty to point to the fact that
transportation service is more IA
vorable than 1t was two years ago
On the contrary, extraordinary eff
Iorts are being put forth to secure
the greatest possible Improvement.
Although the number of cars re-
pared In May and June, 1919, was
luIly up TO the normal number of
b. n
istration gave instructions on June
~, 1919, that all car forces be in
creased to the full standard mea-
sure or 4S-hours per week and that
aoditional shifts be worked where
the additional employees could be
optalned and where they could be
economically used. The showing ma
turaily to be expected from the
putting into effect of these instruc-
tions was hampered in July by the
intervention of practically a double
monday and, of course, was tempor-
army prevented in August by the
strikes OF a large number of shop
employees. Conditions having now
oeen resored to normal, 1t is ex-
pected that these instructions will
promptly show a most favora BILE re-
suit: Further than this. the Rail
August Is, 1919. that all car forces
be put on a basis of 54-hours per
week. 1t is believed that this in
struction will result in a marked
Improvement, also in the monthly
repair or a much greater number
OF cars than the normal number
and will seadily increase the num-
Der OF cars actually available for
service as compared with preceding
years.
In addition to this, the Railroad
Administration is rapidly getting
the benefit of the service of a large
number of new cars constructed
during Federal control but whose
introduction into service was post
poned on account of inability to
agree with the railroad corporations
as to the acceptance of the cars.
This inability has been overcome.
Between August 1 and September
6, 2s,564, of these cars have been
put into service. and they are now
coming into service under the spur
of recent instructions at the rate of
over 500 per day.

HOW TO TRAP SUCCESSFULLY
TIVE Ways of Taking the Wary Mink
--Snsre Into Which "Brer Fox"
May Fall. E

If mink makes a hole through a
snowdrift he will use it again and a
trap set in it will catch him.
After cold weather sets in, when
setting in shallow water for mink,
choose place where the current runs
swiftly and is not likely to freeze up.
When trapping foxes use a No. 2
double spring trap. This style of trap
Is known as 1.-The fox trap"
If you wish 10 be real foxy and
cunning yourself, try setting three
traps, one in an old path without any
covering. and one OH each side, skill
fully covered The fox will give all
his attention to the uncovered trap
and by going around it may step into
one OF those on the side.
1t is not much use to try to trap
foxes or any other such wary animal
without good scent
An ear of corn stuck in the mud
near trap makes an excellent ba:e
for coon.
One Of the best places to look for
coon signs is in corntield. B

Heating the House.


The proper temperature for various
rooms Of the home are as follows: The
living room should be 20 degrees, no
more. 1t should be occasionally aired
so that 1t does not become close, but
the doors should be kept closed into
the hall. The dining room and kitchen
should be heated to O. degrees. Most
Kitchens rise higher than that. The
bedrooms should be heated not at all
except for the little time that the Occur
pants use them for dressing. The
should be made as warm as,
you choose and the halls should be
given no specia! heat as we are al
