The railways of the United States in point of actual railway service lead the world. Americans buy more rail- way service, and greater amount of transportation is supplied and used in the United States than in any other country.
 According to statistics prepared by the Bureau of Railway Economies, the ton miles per capita carried by United States railroads in 1913 were almost five times the ton miles per capita car ried>by Germany, which was second to the United States in this respect. The ton miles per capita carried by the United States railroads in 1913 were 3.101 In Germany the ton miles per

capita carried by the railroads were 631 and in France 447.
 Since 1913 the increase in ton miles per capita carried by the railroads of the United States was more than the total carried by either of the two other countries in that year. In comparison with the total of 631 carried by the railroads in Germany and the total of AT carried by the railroads in France the increase carried by the railroads in ton miles per capita.
 The chart below shows the trans portation supplied in the United States, Germany and France in 1913 and the increase in railroad service in the Unit ed States since 1913.

In a front page article in yester- days Philadelphia Daily News rela- tive to the Bankhead Highway, the following extract is taken with view to enlightening the people of Nevada and Hampstead counties of the fact that it may take every ounce of nergy and a whole flock of delegates to land the famous highway for these coun- ties. The extract reads ''The favor able route South from Philadelphia to Texarkana is by way of Index on the Red River, on account of there being new bridge just completed at that point, while to the South of this route by way of Gurdon, Pres colt, Emmet and Hope there will nee essarily have to be constructed a bridge somewhere near Fulton" There is a way around this argument and enough people will have to go from these two counties of Nevada and Hampstead to forcably present this fact to the, association ,and votes is the only thing that will do it.

NEW PROBLEM FOR ITALY
Country Must Face Task Of Coping
With srIoands That Infect the
Istrian Peninsula.

With her enlarged boundaries
Italy has added incidentally thir(
plague spot of brigandage to thos'
already famous in Sicily and Sar
DINA. Whole stretches of the IstriaI
peninsula, and more especially the
environs of Trieste, are infested
with bands Of robbers, powerful and
numerous, whose daring exploits are
Of daily occurrence.
Pulich, the robber chieftain who
was recently captured, had for
midable rival in Simon Mattosso-
vich. The latter's followers some
times don Italian military uniforms,
and it is said that their mountain
lair is fortified with machine guns.
Toward dusk the other evening
they swooped down upon the little
village Of Antignana, where they
seized, gagged and bound with ropes
three boys in their early teens who
were at play in garden. One Of
the bandits, named Lizzardo, then
put on a mask and led his men to
the residence of the uncle of one of
the boys. Meeting with resistance
there, the brigands strapped the
uncle fast with leather thongs, threw
him into the cellar and subjected his
wife and eldest son to merciless
beatings. Then they carried them
of insensible to shed in which the
three kidnapped boys lay imprisoned
Having sacked the house, the out
laws visited another isolated cot
tage, where they wantonly attacked
widow and her young daughter.

FARM
AND FACTORY

The Federation of Labor is en-
gagged in a determined effort to bring
the American farmer into It's hold.
At the Atlantic City convention it
appointed a cooperative commit
tee" to work along his line. Since
that time the officers Of the FEEDER
alton have been busily negotiating
with representatives Of the various
oranges and other farmer groups.
1t is admittedly a difficult under
taking. and the unionists are hav-
ing trouble accordingly. One or two
big farmers organizations have
fatty refused to have anything to
Go with the Federation. There are
obvious differences of character be
tween the two classes concerned
Industrial workers are simply en-
ployes whereas the 6 nges are
composed of men who are for the
most part their own basses. The
typical farmer is a worker but he
is also a capitalist. He Is master
and man in one. 1t is easier to line
UP the farm hands, and this has
been done in some sections; but
the line between farm hand and
farr er is q vague and shifting one
