Director General Of Railroads Wants
Over Billion for Use Of Roads,

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of ST.
2OO,OO0,OOO, in addition to 100000, 900
already provided, for use of the rail-
road administration during 1918 and
1919 was requested Saturday by Direc-
tor General Hines.
OF the total of $1,7OO,OOO,OOO appro-
priated and requested, Mr.. Hines said
that 100000 eventually would be
returned to the government. This in
cludes money tied up in working cap
ital and advanced on account to the
railroad corporations.
Mr.. Hines said that, in his judg-
ment, the operating deficits for 1918
and 1919 were clearly due to the war
and to abnormal after-the-war condi-
lions. Because of the present chang
ing conditions he declined to make any
prediction of the financial results of
operation during the remainder of the
year.

MO. VALLEY WINS ANOTHER

The M. V. H. S. ball team jour-
neyed to Dunlap Friday afternoon
where they locked horns with the
High school team of that place. Mo.
Valley won the game by a score of
a to 2. The two scores that Dunlap
did get were not earned runs but were
due to errors by Bradley and Norberg.
Jones pitched the best he has this
season. Dunlap did not get a safe
blow and the game was never in
doubt.
Dunlap treated M. v. H. S. excep-
tionally well in every respect and the
team had fine trip and very good
time.
This makes four out of five games
the High school has won, with one
game yet to be played next Thursday
with Dunlap. Get out and root for
the M. v. H. S. as they have done
very well this season.
