Lyndon Rushcroft was a tail, saggy
man Of fifty. Despite his determined
erectness he was inclined to sag from
the shoulders down. His head, huge
and gray, appeared to be much too
%ponderous for his yielding body, and
yet he carried it manfully, even the
atrically. The lines in his dark, sea-
soned face were like burrows; his nose
vas large and somewhat Dubious, his
mouth wide and grim. Thick, black
whicn white was ne longer apparent
it had given way to a permanent red.
A two-days' stubble covered his chir
and cheeks. Altogether he was a sin
gular exempliication of ones idea of
the oId-time actor. Z,

croft hesitated long enough to impress
upon Landlord Jones the Importance
Of providing his distinguished friend,

that the establishment afforded. Put
nan Jones blinked slightly and his
eyes sought the register as il to &C
cuse or justify his memory. Then he
spat copiously into the corner, a nee
essary preliminary to a grin. He
hadn't much use for the great Lyndon
Rushcroft. His grin was sardonic.
Something told him that Mr.. Rush
croft was about to be literally fed.

Fourth of Railroad
Employees Organized
in Recent Months
tRy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. Jan. 80 - Nearly
10000 railway employees or one fourth
Of the entire number Of railroad men,
have effected some sort of organiza.
ton in recent months, according to
reports reaching labor leaders here.
Most of these men had been wholly un-
organized previously or had belonged
to trades which were only partially or
ganlzed. Many local organizations, it
was said, now exist secretly and are
known to railroad executives only
through communities which claim to
represent the men, though not as
union spokesman.
A large proportion of the recently
organized employees are clerks. main
tenance-of-way men, shopmen, and
dining car employees.
Although the railroad administra-
ton never has taken a stand either for
or against extension of employees or
CARNATIONS, the unionizing movement
is believed by labor leaders to have
been stimulated by Director General
McAdoo's order forbidding discrimina-
ton because of either membership or
non-membership in labor organiza-
tons. Disputes arising between rail-
road executives and committees Of
newly organized unions have been
settled to a large extent by the rail-
road administration through arbitra-
ton, although in no cases arising in
such ways has the question OF recog-
milton of the unions been Involved.

Federal Reserve Banks
Break Record in 1918
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 80. T h e
twelve Federal Reserve banks broke
records in 1918 by piling up an ag-
gregate of 5,436,000 net earnings,
largely from rediscount operations,
as compared with $11 100000 the year
before. Gross earnings, the Federal
Reserve board reported today, were
$67.584,000.
After paying $5.540.000 dividends of
six percent on capital stock, and trans
ferring $21,605, 900 to their surplus
funds, the banks reserved $26,72S, 900
as the government franchise tax. This
represents profits to the government
from operation of the Federal Reserve
system. Nearly half of this amount
came from the New York bank, which
turned over $12,795,000 to the govern
ment from its $22,634.0 900 net earnings.
The New York bank is the only one
which has established surplus fund
of the maximum allowed by law, forty
per cent of paid in capital stock. The
Chicago bank ranked second in vol
ume of business, with $6,831 900 net
earnings, and 100000 turned over to
the government fund.

Because Of the unsettled condition

In munition plants, Brooks does not
venture an accurate prediction of the
number to be revealed by this emu
mediation, but believes 1t will no some
where around $4,000.

IA considerably more than $4,000, tho
auditor thinks. Tho low cbb Of tho
vote was revealed last year when 10,
GOO registered and $500 votes were
cast. Two thousand soldiers absent
are voters. Enough soldiers and 9th
er voters should bc back soon to
bring the enumeration up to $4,000
and by the time OF the next general
election force voters arc expected to
register than over before.
Material and stationery for tho
enumeration has not been received
yet from the Office OF the state auditor.
and Brooks can make no prediction as
to when tho enumeration will take
place, but plans to have the trustees
get to work on It as soon a. possible.

Protest Abandonment of
Oxford Municipal Plant

OXFORD, o.. Jan 3O--The action
OF the village council Tuesday night
in deciding to abandon the village
electric light plant as a losing pro-
position. and to purchase current from
Robert s. Ashe, Of Richmond Ind, is
causing great deal of discussion
among the taxpayers OF the town.
Despite the fact that the engineer,
Fred II. Froehlich, Of Toledo, showed
that $1,000 year could be saved by
the purchase Of current, some promi-
nent citizens insist that the village
plant could be made to pay. There is
talk OF going into court and asking
for an Injunction to prevent the coun-
Gil from entering into a contract with
Mr.. Ashe. but it Is not believed action
Will be taken.
1t is not considered likely that the
waterworks plant will be electrified
at present. though it has been shown
that such change would net saving
of $4,000 a year in the operation Of
the plant. To make the change would
require the expenditure Of large
amount of money for standpipe and
other ma chinery, which. at this time,
the village is powerless to raise.

The, haIf.million dollar Reconstruc-

The Lutheran program for recon-
struction plans to help democratfze
the Lutheran churches OF Europe.
They were state churches With the
end of the war and the disappearance
OF autocratic governments, these
chIrch-groups have been thrown amid
grave difficulties. The main difficulty
is the lack OF experience In independ-
ent church life That experience the
American Lutheran church aims To
supply and then help bring ordered
religious life to those countries
Public men consider the program
from the effect 1t will have on stabil-
izing social and political conditions.
Governor Goodrich recently said:
my attention has just been called to
the splendid program Of the National
Lutheran Council, first to minister
spiritually to our soldiers. and sailors
in Europe; then to help in rebuilding
the churches in France and to assist
the millions OF 4utherans in Russia
and Finland now engulfed in the dread
chaos of Bolshevism.
ut is good to know that the demo
cratic Lutheran church Of America Ii

In the work, too, Of liberalizing the
Lutheran church of Germany, should
the opportunity present itself
Il am sure the program Of the Ma
tional Lutheran Council will appeal to
liberty loving, spiritual people every
where. The movement is bound to
succeed il efficiently carried out, be-
cause it is right. J r. Goodrich, Gov
