LEVEL WHICH HAS BEEN
REACHED IN RAILWAY
WAGES.

When the advance in railroad
wages last year is said to amount
to $900,000,000, compared with 1917,
the sum is almost staggering, but
when average compensation per en-
ploye is considered, there is another
viewpoint.
Many railroad men admitted that
wages for certain classes of railroad
workers were altogthr too low, while
maintaining that wages, secured by
some brotherhoods, were too high.
They further admitted that they
would increase those wages if the In
terstate Commerce Commission would
permit an advance in rates.
Before the passage of the Adam
son law, average wages per annum
for train crews were $3.50, and for
all other employees, between $500 and
$500 per year, and for all an average
of about 1890. Average wages of
railroad workers have been increased

New Year Letter
From Over Sea

Ny Dear Mother: I viii write you
short letter today. This is the first of
the year, and I am with the company
again. / left France on Christmas day,
but had a fine dinner before leaving, tur-
key and dressing, pie and everything else
a fellow could wish for. Each man re-
eeived Christmas package and stocking,
and [ believe more candy than we could
have had at home. am many miles from
home, but I think it was the happiest
Xmas I have had since 1911, and until
10 clock did not know whether [ would
return to the company or not. had
hopes of being home by the goth of De
cember, because when left the hospital
I went to casual camp at Toul and there
I was examined and placed in Glass B 2
ON account of my foot, and was ordered to
be ready to leave at any minute for
sea port town, and of course that meant
a trip over the Atlantic, but the following
day I was sent with other Third Div. men
from the hospitals to an Infantry camp
short distance from there and was with
them until the 25th and now am with
the old bunch again, and in Germany, and
I do not think now it will be long until
we will be on our way back, and I think
I would be satisfied to start out hiking
and make double marches until we reach
ed ship if necessary. My foot is quite
well now, and as am once more in good
health, and good company can only hope
that all at home are as happy as [.
Good bye your loving son.

Mrs. STICKY Receives
Letters From Germany

Mrs. Annie Stucky, wife of Private
Luther Stukey, who is with the Ameri-
can army of occupation in Germany has
received two letters from her husband
since the signing of the armistice.
These letters make the same request
that has come from every man in foreign
service a request for news from home.
And the same report is given of having
received no mail for many weeks at
time. One of the letters tells of con-
tinual drilling and while the hope exists
that since the armistice has been signed
the writer will soon be home, he tells of
continued preparations for warfare.
One of the letters is given below:
Ettelbruck, Luxembourg, Jan. 2, 1919.
Mrs Annie Stuckey,
Dear Wife: I thought I would drop
you few lines to let you know l am well

WARNING
Continued from page one)

you know, bill reported from con-
ference cannot be substantially
amended in the House or Senate, but
must be accepted or rejected as it
stands. The danger is that the bills
reported by the conference, both on
minerals and on waterpower, may be
like the Senate bills, and unlike those
of the House, and that in the con-
fusion of the closing hours they may
pass. The men who, without regard
to party, strive to defeat the passage
of the Senate measure, or any mea-
sures like them, will deserve we'll of
their country.

are still held by the people can be

millionaires instead of helping oul

COME oNEl COME ALL!

Mrs Geo. Heller and Mrs. W, A. Dor
set will entertain with valentine party
on Friday night, February 18th, for the
benefit of the Zion Hill church and school
at the home of Mrs. Heeler on the lower
Hot Springs pike. A musical program
will be rendered by town talent. Come
one, Come all. If you want to have a
good time.
The distance around the world depends
good deal ON the way one travels it. If
one goes by aeroplane it's only short
way, but if he walks-well, if he walks,
he won't care how far it is, it really
won t make any difference.
Most people count their age by the
years they have lived, they should count
it by the hours they have remained awake
and kept busy doing good
The man who would live many days
never lives but one at time.
The trouble with the Average Ameri-
can business man is he tries to crowd a
hundred years into ten. It is generally
up to the undertaken to finish the job.
The only way to ever get anything done
is to start doing it.
George Washington was great soldier,
but he was no diplomat. You see he never
told a lie.
Many a smart man overlooks this one
big bet-if he can make money for the
other fellow he can do the same for him
self.

OUR OWN POETS
WHY?

WHY?
Why st with each returning spring
We feel the same delight,
On viewing the green things
That spring up over nighta
We thrill to view the onion new,
The lettuce crisp and green;
The radish, carrots, all look good,
As though they d meier been seen.
The aromatic new turned land
The tender leaves and grasses,
Are just as sweet this spring as last,
And thus each spring that passes.

THERE is ALWAYS SOME BALM
IN GILEAD.

That catch phrase, that somebody
is always taking the joy out of life,
reached its maximum use with the
death blow dealt by the Prohibition
Amendment to the Constitution, to
the demon Rum" Probabilities are
that large majority of the male vot-
ers in the country would have opposed
the amendment, if they had had OPP
portunity, and there is very great
deal to think about in the method
which brought about the passage of
the Amendment, and in the complica-
tions bound to result from the en-
forcement of Prohibition. There is
hope among some of the liberal peo-
pie opposed to the use of intoxicants,
that the law may be construed as not
to apply to light wines and beers, but
it is not much more than faint hope.
The distillers think they may have
a straw to cling to in the fact that %
States have, in their constitutions, a
provision that no act of the Legisla-
ure is effective until the lapse of 80
days afer he Legislature adjourns.
And if, during that 90 days, a small
percentage of the voters petition for
a referendum, the act of the Legisla-
ture must be submitted to vote of
the people, and until the people have
voted on this case, the act is not
binding
Dropping all the important ques-
tions as to unwise paternalism, cur
tailment of personal liberty, imposi-
ton of the will of the minority upon
the majority, and other points in
.volved, is there any balm in Gilead, if
it finally proves that the demon
Rum" has left US for good?
There certainly is, and. its bearing
directly affects almost every bust
ness. 1t has been estimated by COM
petent authorities that each year our
citizens have spent for alcoholic drink
ables, somewhere between five and
six billion dollars. That is a sum
very much larger than the entire in
come of this nation only a few years
ago, and it is sum probobly equal
to one-half of the net debt incurred
by the United States during the war,
deducting from the gross debt loans
TO our Allies, and the salvage from
war materials on hand.
Now if our people cannot spend
that vast amount of money for" Rum"
using that suggestive word to cover
everything spirituous, what are they
going to do with it? Forced by law
not to spend for Rum" they will GER
tainly look around for other avenues
in which TO place that money, and
here is where the balm of Gilead
comes in. Families will have more
and better clothes, more and better
food, and certainly more Injuries.
Probabilities are that substantially
every business in the country, not
connected with liquor interests, will
get q percentage of that gigantic
fund.
If our friend, John Barleycorn,
leaves US more or less desolate, time,
which heals all wounds, including the
loss of intimate friends, will have its
usual way. and old John will be for
gotten. Meantime, while we miss
him at lunch, and at every festival,
what he has cost US will be saved,
and into the business channels, of
which we are a part, will flow that
mighty stream of more than five bill
lion dollars annually, of which we
shall doubtless secure our share, a
financial balm of sovereign merit.
