Says 1t Is a Necessity for
Development of Inland
Waterways
AND TO COORDINATE
WITH THE MARINE
Is Futile, He Says, to Spend
Money Unless Under Gov
eminent Control

Santa Barbara, Cal, Jan. 27.-W. G.
McAdoo, former director general of rail
roads and former secretary of the treas,
ury, made public to-day a telegram in
which he urged five-year government con
troll of the railroads as q necessity for
the development OF inland waterways
and for the coordination of the railroads
and waterways with the new American
merchant marine. The telegram, ad-
dressed to Albert Krell, chairman Of the
MianN and Erie improvement committee
of the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce,
said:
1T seems to me futile to expend great
sums Of money on the development Of
our inland waterways unless our govern
ment adopts an intelligent policy about
railroad control The future of water.
ways development is absolutely depend
ent upon a government control which will
enforce the operation of the waterways
and the railroads and a co-ordinated and
articulated system which win give the
people the benefits of an efficient comb
nation of water and rail facilities. This
cannot be accomplished under the present
railroad law, which provides that the
railroads cannot be controlled by the
government for longer period than 81
months after the return Of peace. With
in u months period no substantial de-
velopment of existing waterways can be
made, nor can their operation in so brief
a period afford any adequate test Of their
values.
Upon the return of the railroads to
private ownership, which must be made
within q months period, as the present
law provides, the cut-throat competition
Of the railroads under private control
with the partially developed waterways
will effectively destroy water transporta.
tion as heretofore and the peoples in
yestment in these facilities will continue
to be of little if any value.
81 have urged the Congress to extend
the period of federal control Of the rail
roads for FIVE years because that will
give us time to develop the most impor
tant existing water routes, coordinate
them with the railroads and prove their
worth "a a part Of a great American
transportation system.
Il also feel that the government should
control the railroads aud the inland wa
terways for a period of FIVE years SO that
they may in turn be co-ordihated with
our government merchant marine, which
has been built at a cost of more than
100000 and which under existing law
the government controls for FIVE year
period
'Unless we look at this great problem
with vision and from the standpoint sole
" of the American people instead of
from the standpoint Of the selfish inter
est of private railroad owners, private
steamship owners, private shippers, pri-
vate investors, or any other single class,
we shall not measure up to our obliga-
tions to the American people, nor realize
the great opportunities and destiny that
lies with us"

Many housewives are devotees OF the

the possession of one becomes as neces-

The real coffee flavor is kept intact in

reason coffee should be ground only just

Getting Ready for Spring housekeeping

Thanksgiving and Christmas are things
of the past and the new year has started
its round of life. Just beyond the next
corner spring ia waiting, and to the care
full and wise housewife this spells Spring
cleaning The home maker who would
get the start on that time can do so now
by going through her kitchen shelves and
making a thorough inventory of her
wares, says the Springfield Republican.
Conservation is the watchwOrd of
America, and we have begun to realize
that this does not mean conservation in
food alone. To the manager of home,
conservation is synonymous with doing
things well and easily and in the quick
est time possible Doing them easily is
conservation of strength, and doing them
with the righ1 kind of instruments or
utensils is conservation of both time and
strength.

established member of the household,

in capacity, she is enabled to prepare a

from the Saranac and there were four
other deaths among the 1000 men which
might have occurred under any condi-
tions. There was no other loss of life
nor other injury and, despite the close
navigation, near mine fields, no ship ever
came to grief thanks largely to Captain
Butler and Navigator Cunningham, OF
the flagship San Francisco.
"In addition to the value of the bar
rage itself, in keeping the enemy sub
marines in or from their bases, the mine
squadron was expected to serve as a bait
to draw out the German feet. This ever
present possibility and the fact that the
working ground lay in the principal
thoroughfare of enemy submarines, with
attendant incidents of periscope sight
ings, submarine reports, depth charges,
smoke screens, floating mines and dead
German sailors floating by lent excite
ment to the work, which was often hard
but never dull"
The manufacture of these special
mines, developed by navy experts from
an invention of an American. began in
the United States in December, 1917.
The many parts, small and large, going
into the makeup of single mine, were
being constructed by the thousands by
numerous contractors, who delivered
them at Norfolk. There the mine spheres
were charged with 300 pounds of TINT
and with other parts we're loaded into
mine carrier steamers, managed by the
naval overseas transport service. II re-
quired q of these vessels, running con-
stantly, to keep the 10 mine planters
supplied with mines The carriers were
slow and good prey for submarines. One
of them, the Lakemoor, was sunk last
April with a loss of al men and 5000
mine anchors and other parts. All the
other mine caTgoes were safely delivered.
The flagship San Francisco was COM
manded by Captain H, V. Butler and her
consort, the cruiser Baltimore, by Cap
tain A. w. Marshall, -Four Of the mer-
chant vessels used in the fleet were for

Another way to beat spring cleaning or

Georgia Has 1878 Boys in Pig Clubs.

Swine worth half a million dollars

is reported as follows: 'The increase in
final value of hogs raised by pig-club
boys in 1918 over those in 1917 was
more than So per cent. Pig-club boys
won 70 ribbons and S505 in prizes in

crease in number of pure bred hogs
raised by pig-club boys in 1918 over
