in the season when the new crop be- gan to flow as the estimated crop for the year was placed at about 10,000,- 900 barrels over last year, and the record crop for this country. When the price reached $S per barrel, which was about 8 per barrel under the market of the preceding year, de- termined effort was made to hold it there through an organization of mil- lers, growers and bankers. Large meetings were held here, at Donald sonville, Euniee and other points. The efforts at this time had somewhat steadying effect on the market, but another decline soon set in from the lack of full cooperation.
 Growers declare any price under the S5 agreed to this time will mean ruin to the rice industry. If they are able to get this price for the balance of the crop they say they will be able to save themselves. Between 10 to 15 per cent of the crop already has been marketed.

This relocation movement has been particularly difficult be- cause of the great demand for cars from all sections has made it neces- sary to deprive certain parts of the country of the cars belonging to their roads, irrespective of the rights roads are, as a matter of fact, deliv- ering to western lines at Chicago, Peoria and St. Louis designated number of cars per day in excess of the number required for equalization of equipment as provided for in the original relocation movement. These cars are being distributed between the roads of the west in such manner as to give quick relief to the roads whose supply is below the average, and particularly to lines which have been losing cars during the past few weeks by reason of heavy eastbound shipments.
 Is Soldering Becoming A Snap?
 The number of officers and men who entered the wal and who have now chosen army life as their perma- nent occupation, indicates that the life of a soldier is not altogether irk- some in peace times. Educating the men in khaki has proved distinct hit with the War Department, and it also appears that the men whom pol iticians have been telling us are be- ing held in Germany and elsewhere, are not having such hard time af- ter all. Major General k. c. Harris. the Adjutant Genereal of the Army says:
 ''The service in Germany has proved to be so attractive that the ranks are always filed Our chief difficulty is that regiments are apt to be over enlisted before we can stop the re- cruiting officers from a :cepting more applicants, and we must send such men to the station for which they were accepted"
 Equally popular is Army service in Hawaii, and as a rule few recruits can be accepted for duty there. How ever, the 18th Field Artillery has left the United States for service in the mid-Pacific, and enlistments for this regiment have been issued. In the old Army new recruits had no choice in the selection of regiment and could not name any particular station. In the new peace-time Ar my a man may either pick his own regiment or designate the part of the world to which he wishes to be sent.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
Public Utility Relations Improved
(By J. E. Jones)

Public Utility Relations Improved
 There are strong indications that there has been a better feeling es- tablished between the various public utilities and the communities which they serve. Primarily this is due to the deep-seated sense of justice that exists iu the hearts of the American people, whose common-SenSe told them that the universal change in in dust~ial and economic conditions could not overlook the public. utilities in the readjustment.
 In furtherance of this conviction the appointment of the Federal Flee President and the report which the latter presented, served the purpose of establishing basis for the consid- eration of street railway fares and changes in franchise conditions in different parts of the United States. Already most the street railways of the country have been absolved from the necessity of doing business on the five cent fare. The politicians who sought to make capital out of the upset relations between commu- mites and their street railway have been met by public apparently will ing to face the new conditions in transportation The street railway managements that have shown a dis position to supply the public with the highest efficiency at the lowest cost, under public supervision and control broad enough to safeguard the pub lie interest and to protect the inves- tors, while at the same time preserv- ing a condition guaranteeing proper wages to employees, and recognizing the right of the men to deal collec- lively with their employers, have furnished a method of action that has eased the way towards recon structing public relations with ref erence to the utilities.
 Distributing Cars
 An interesting statement by the Car Service Division of the Ameri- can Railway Association tells of the success of the railroads in produc- ing greatly enlarged service from their existing equipment. At the termination of federal control the freight ears of the American rail roads were scattered helter-skelter There were too many box cars Tn the east and too many coal cars in the west Following the armistice the railroad prepared for handling the crop of 1918 by providing a re- serve of 6S,000 cars on western rail- roads But in the spring of 1920 the distribution of box cars, supplied to meet the demand anticipated in connection with an unusually heavy wheat crop, followed by a record breaking corn crop, presented diff cult situation. According to the Car Servise Division, the railroads sue ceeded in returning more than 92 per cent of all box cars owned by the western railroads to them by Sep tember 15. The number of cars &C., tually delivered to western roads since that time amounts to over twice the number of cars they were short

saving in the manner of producing it's energy, which it is confidently predicted can be accomplished to the extent of one billion dollars a year.
 The Profits From Profteering
 Little Cuba widowed in it's wealth while sugar was pivoting in prices. But the moment the stilts were knocked from under the fictitious prices of that commodity, Cuba ran up the white flag, and it was neces- sary for the President of that Re- public to declare a moratorium until December 1, in order to keep the country from going on the toboggan.
 The big story of Cuba is identical to the small story which exists in ev- cry community of our own land. In- stitutions which have made more money in a single year than they have ever made before in a dozen years, cannot see their way clear to lower prices and to help the country to restore itself to it's normal condi- tions. This is doubly hard if it makes 1t necessary to sell the stock of goods on hand at actual cost, or below cost. Nevertheless, the sad news is dawning, and even the prof. teers are beginning to understand that the boom days are over, and that they must adopt the methods of farseeing industrial leaders who de- clare that it is high time to return to the conservative standards in trade and industry.
 Raising Hemp
 Kentucky once led in hemp pro- duction, but has turned to more pro- titable crops and relinquished the United States Department of Agri- culture. The adger State cultivated 1000 acres, half the country's total, this year, followed by Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio and California, with Kentucky sixth.

CITIZENSHIP FOR RED. MEN.

The house at Washington has passed a bill grant

restriction TO sale the land which they now hold

Adoption Of this measure would mark the be
ginning of a in the relations OF the govern
ment with the red man. The Indian would no longer
be the ward of the government; ne would be an
equality with other Americans. and s a property
ne would have standing better than that
of many of his white fellow-citizens.
Whether the Indian is prepared to undertake the
administration of his property may be questioned
