Good prices for the farmers crops en-
courage new investment more production
and greater prosperity.
But the success Of agriculture depends
on the growth of railroads-the modern
beasts of burden that haul the crops to
the worlds markets.
The railroads-like the farms-increase
their output and cut down unit costs by
the constant investment of new capital.
With fair prices for the work they do,
the railroads are able to attract new capital
for expanding their facilities.
Rates high enough to yield fair return
will insure railroad growth. and prevent
costly traffic congestion. which invariably
results in poorer service at higher cost
National wealth can increase only as our

Counting Negroes is
Entertaining job

Census enumerators who have
worked among the negroes of Little
Rock have run across several odd and
some touching experiences in a few
days work. They say that many
among both negroes and white peo-
pie do not know the purpose OF a
census and look upon it with the
keenest suspicion. Sometimes 1T is
necessary to eradicate from the
minds of each member of the fam
Ii ly in succession, the idea that a
census has to do with taxation.
"Have you any cows, horses OF
pigs?" asked one enumerator.
s.No," solemnly replied the man
of the house.
Whose red pig is that | see out
yonder?" ;,
"Oh! Well, | believe that is mine,
he admitted.
"Where was the father of this
child born?" asked the census emu
merator of a negro woman who was
rather deaf.

understood the question. "Lawsy,
