Statement Declares Railroads

OH railway legislation by COMMITS
sioner Edgar f. Clark.
! Considering and weighing as best
as we can all of the arguments for
and against the different plans"
said the statement, I'VE are led to
the conviction that with the adop-
ton of appropriate provisions and
safeguards for regulations under
private ownership, it would not be
wise or best at this time to assume
government ownership or operation
of the railways of the country

The commission declared, how
ever, that "a reasonable period of
readJustment or preparation,
should be allowed before relinqulsh-
ment of federal control. 1T seems
obvious" said the statement, that
no plan of private ownership should
be considered unless it is under a
broadened, extended and amplified
government regulation"
Commissioner Woolley dssented
from the recommendation against
continuation of government control,
and advocated adoption of Director
General McAdoo's suggestion for

ed in many months of fighting, In
France he was trained under the
famous Blue Devils" He first en-.
tered the trenches near Toul and
later was sent to the Somme to help
stop the German rush for Paris. Ii
April his regiment relieved the
French at Montdidier where they
spent three months. 1t was there
that they made the first attack and
captured the first town taken by the
Germans and, he writes: ION May e
we fought that dirty little battle OF
Cantigny."
Later his company fought in the
second battle of the Marine where
Mansell was wounded. He was in
a base hospital for six weeks but
writes. Il went back to my COM
pany in September and went over
the top in the all American attack
at St. Mihiel, then we were rushed
to Verdun where we relieved the
35th American division in the Ar
gonne forest and yours truly landed

McDonaldville School
Make Grand Cleanup
Many improvements Made Around
School on Arbor Day and
Cleanup Week
EVERYBODY DID THEIR SHARE

The united neighbors of the Nc
Donaldville district combined Arbor
Day and cleanup week in one COM
plete day of improvement around
their school house. 1t is a good
school, has a good teacher, Miss
Esther BELGIUM, and is we'll supported
by the community.
1t was done in the good old neigh
borly way. The women went early
and started preparing a feed. The
men knew where to go for their
bread and butter, and they showed
up at 10 o'clock with plows, harfaws,
horses, shovels, spades and trees.
They plowed, narrowed, smoothed
out the lawn, planted lots of trets,
and laid cement walk. The feed
was up to expectations, for the good
women-folk of McDonaldville know
very well what their men like to
eat after working hard and they be-
lieve in plenty.
The community is going to have
one Of the finest schools and grounds
in the county. They are justified in
being proud of what they have done.
At the same time they don't miss
anything in the way Of congenial fun
in their informal spreads at the
working bees.

AMERICAN CITIZENS
ARE NOT CUTTERS
People Continue to
Share Immense Ex-
pense of Army
STILL WORTH MORE

1t cost Uncle Sam an average of
5000 to bring every soldier home
from France. To carry him from the
battlefield or camp in France to a
seaport cost $64 to transport him
across the Atlantic, $62, and to send
him from the port of debarkation in
this country to- his civilian shome,
STA, making total of 5000.
This big expense, however, does
not represent the total transportation
cost, for the American government
has sent millions of dollars to build
and equip railroads in France that
have made it possible for our boys
to win the splendid victory over Ger.
many and that also furnishes a quick
means of exit from that country.
The cost of maintaining the mo-
bilization CAMPS and of handling
baggage and equipment must also be
added, so that when it is said that
the forthcoming victory loan is to
be used to large extent to bring
the boys back home it is absolutely
correct.
When the American people are
asked to loan their government
money for such purpose, no true
hearted citizen can refuse nor will
he refuse.
1t must be borne in mind too, that
it is necessary for the government
to have funds with which to defray
bills already contracted. 1t cost a
lot of money to whip the Huns and
it was worth all it cost and a great
deal more
If these expenses represented an
ordinary commercial liability, the
American people would pay it, be-
cause they are honest, but it repre-
sents great deal more. 1t repre-
sents the cost of freeing the world
of the greatest menace to which it
has ever been subjected, of making
the homes and the institutions of
America safe from the invasion of a
most barbarous and uncivilized foe.
If Germany had won, it's first demand
would have been Canada from Eng
land. We can easily imagine the,
rest.
AS We have said, it is worth much
more than it has cost to give us free
dom from the ravages of Hunism. !
We all want the kaiser licked and we
are all willing to pay the bill.
