According 10 figures compiled and made
public by the bureau Of railway economies.
the government net loss from railroad
operation for the twenty-onc months it has
been in control has reached total Of $54S,-
100000, while the loss for the eleven months
OF 1919 is somewhat above 1891 900, 900
The year 1919 was a year OF peace in actual
ity. though not technically SO; yet the de-
felt for November was s64,500.000, which,
considered alone, shows that the farther
away we get from war conditions the costlier
the experiment Of government operation be-
comes. In the face OF this showing the dc
mand OF organized labor that government
operation be continued for at least two yea rs
is incomprehensiblc except from the stand

VETERANS OF WAR
OPERATING FARMS
lBy Associated Press to The pnr..sr1

fBy Associated Press 10 The Bsnts~r1
NEW YORK, July PA number OF
modest little farms operated by vet
erans OF the world war who have re-
covered from shell shock, gas or
wounds, now dot the states OF New
Jersey, Connecticut and New York.
The owners OF these farms, most OF
them graduates Of the New York State
School of Agriculture at Farmingdale,
l.. l., have been "rehabilitated" and
are now making good as food produc-
ers with the same enthusiasm that
took them "over the top" in France.
The transformation of most Of these
former soldiers who selected farming
from among the subjects offered by
the Federal Board for Vocational
Training in many cases has been
complete metamorphosis of railroad
brakemen, plumbers, policemen. me-
chanics and laborers. One recent grad
uate of the school was bartender be-
fore the war and today he owns a
thoroughly up-to;date place near Toms
River N. J.
According to A. A. Johnson, direc-
tor Of the school, there we're 76 fed
eral board men enrolled in June and
number of these have since gradual

his praise Of what the soldier farmers
are accomplishing, declaring that not

SYSTEMN NEEDED
IN PARKING Of
MACHINES HERE
Comments Upon The Subject
AT Chamber Of Commerce
This Morning

System in parking automobiles
along the business streets of Mt. Yer.
non Is needed.
"If the rules of the city are not en-.
forced, then an automobile parking
place should be provided" said a gen.
tleman in the Chamber of Commerce
this morning.
This man further said that Satur-
day night many complaints were reg
istered against the police department
because some owners of cars were al
lowed to park along South Main
street, parallel with the curb. "Ac.
cording to the automobile parking
law of this city, as understand It,"
said he, Cars are supposed to drive
in to the curb at an angle of As de-
grees, so that the greater number of
cars can be parked in any given space
along the street."
In commenting further upon the
subject, the gentleman stated he did
not see why the city could not mark
off the parking space along the main
streets, as the Cooper company did
in front Of their buildings, with paint
so that no mistakes could possibly be
made. He stated that while he stood
beside two cars parked parallel to the
curb Saturday evening, two city po-
licemen were chatting, near by and
could not have helped seeing the traf.
fic condition at that particular place.
He said that the reason for his COM
ments were because on nights like
last Saturday, people were forced
to park out from the center of town
as far as three blocks.

Lost and found articles might never be restored to

Merchants would be compelled to depend almost
rely upon those who passed by their stores for their

Such condition would set the hands of the clock of
