Rail and Water Freights
TO the Editor of the Epening Public

To the Editor Of the Epening Public Ledger:
Sir-Every consumer should be interested
in your question, Must the ship go away
empty?' We all know that water fre!ghts
are lower than rail freights; but too often
the railways get the business. There are a
number of reasons They should be made
known and measures taken to meet and over
come them.
First. The manufacturer does not usually
pay the freight. He Is only concerned In
getting the goods into the hands of the
nearest carrier. Usually the railway comes
closer to him than the ship. He should
remember that his customer considers cost
at his end. and that the lower the freight the
more there should be for the manufacturer
1t would be good business IL our manufac-
turers would quote their customers (. o. b.
destination Then the manufacturer would
profit by what he saves in freight or Grating.
Too often customers pay high freight
because of wasteful Grating. Foreign buyers
call this &C. 1. f. quite often, meaning cost
insurance, freight. But we have very little
information available as to these costs. We
need a bureau to give free service OF this
kind. Our Chamber OF Commerce could we'll
do this.
Second. The smaller manufacturer-and he
is many-does not have many water ship
ments. and is ignorant Of vessel routes or
sailings. Again. the free information bureau
could serve him. Life is too short to phone
walk all over town trying to get dates
and rates, SO he ships TO New York and
let's some export house select the route Or
he selects an all'rail route because he can
reach the freight station easily.
Third. Our private freight hauling systems
are wrong. If the transportation companies
will not deliver and collect as do the express
companies then the city should arrange with
the manufacturers to do It, The manufac-
turer seldom has return loads. unless he is
doing n large business Much duplication and
cost would be saved by having the hauling
done by a few centralized orga nizations
This would particularly favor the small
shipper who cannot AFFORD his own service.
but must pay high profit to some local
expressman. And such an organization
would know whether the saving In water
route costs would pay for the longer haul
rto the wharf or not. This thing Is not a
matter OF sentiment, but Of proper informa-
tion as TO costs and proper service Phila-
de)phia needs the right answer.

Finally they called up Mr.. Pepper again
and he came over to the meeting, and,
after hearing the arg Ament again, decided
that in view of the fact that the Victory
Ball Committee was not going to be held
to the usual tax Of 10 per cent on the tick
cts, 1t would be ungracious to take advan-
tage of the government by serving even
4 California champage punch diluted with

who are to be appealed to for funds for the
Temple of Victory. would probably be
against punch anyway-and so the drys
won.
And this Is where the bubbles come in.
When the decision was finally made, a dis.

well, what are you to do with the money

PIONEER REGIMENT
BAND HERE

The pioneer First Regiment Band,
which has been the pride Of the First
North Dakota regiment for some
years, has arrived in the city and will
appear in concert at the Normal au-
ditorium this evening. There are 35
members in the band under the lead
ership of Prof. Walter Macdonald. The
First Regiment Band went away with
the North Dakota troops a year ago
last September and were in France un-
til a few weeks ago when they were
returned home. Since coming back to
their own country the band has been
making a tour of the state and has
been receiving wonderful success.
Valley City is one of the places Sc
lected for concert and tonight is the
time 1T is to be given. Our people
should turn out and give this organi-
zation a royal good welcome by
crowding the house. ;.

FIRST REGIMENT
BAND COMING

When the United States was called
into the worlds war and North Da-
kota called upon to provide it's quota
of national guard, the old North ,Da-
kota First Regiment band was called
into service Our Valley City people
will remember that the band was here
for month or more and gave us con-
certs every day. 1t went to France
and was greatly strengthened in num-
bers and musical talent under the
leadership of Mr.. Mcdonald. Over
in France this band made great hit,
and it's splendid music kept the
morale of the boys up to a high stand
ard as we'll as provided entertainment
for them. The band is back in this
country and is now touring the state
and was at Valley City last Tues
day to give concert at the Normal
school auditorium. And right here
let US say that President Allen is
showing a mighty fine spirit to this
organization. In order to help the
band out and provide place for the
audience, Mr.. Allen has generously
arranged that the concert can be held
in the Normal auditorium, without
money and without price. It is a gen.
erous and patriotic deed on the part Of
the Normal president and we feel sure
that our people as well as the band
will appreciate this kindness. It costs
four hundred dollars day to main
tain the band on the road so that it
will be necessary to have big crowd
- to make the visit a paying one here.
The price of the tickets will be one
dollar flat, which includes the war tax,
so everybody can afford to go and
hear this splendid musical organiza-
ton and veterans just returned from
the big war overseas.
