THE NEW RAILROAD ERA.

Generous orders for new rolling
stock given by Northwestern rail-
roads in advance Of the day when
their properties are to be restored
to them by the government, are sig
. nificant of the strong faith their
arrangements have in the new rail-
road era about to open.
While 1t remains to be seen
whether financial support for these
auguries will be forthcoming in
sufficient measure, the first steps
toward rehabilitation are being
promptly taken.
The rail traffic of the country
has grown ! enormously, but the
means for transporting II have lag
ged far behind. In that critical
period before the war when hostile
legislation bore down heavily upon
the railroads, when they were reap
ing the whirlwind of repression and
distrust which their selfish exploit
ers had thoughtlessly sown, when
their payrolls and all their costs
were going steadily up while their
rates were gradually forced down, 1t
became increasingly difficult to
build enough terminals, enough To-
track to take care of the business.
The government in its task Of
war operation of the roads has done
no better, or not so well. billion
a year has been added to the payroll,
80 percent has been added to the
rates, but equipment has steadily
failed to be adequate to its tasks.
But the Cummins-Esch bill will es-
tablish new order of things, new
relation between the roads and the
public. For six months the same
return that has been paid to them
under government operation is
to be guaranteed. After that period
of transition there is to be no guar
antee chargeable to the treasury, but
the interstate commerce commits
sion is instructed to initiate just
and reasonable rates on such basis
as will yield a return of not less than
five and half percent on fair val
uation of the properties.
II is to be noted that the word
initiate" now appears for the first
time in the rate-making instructions
of congress to the commission. III
the commission abandons its old
policy of obstruction and delay, and
undertakes in good faith the new
duty imposed upon it to bring rail-
road income and railroad outgo into
fair relation, the rehabilitation OF
our system of transportation. upon
which our whole economic structure
so intimately depends will make rap
id progress.
Present financial support rests
upon the promise thus made. And
performance of that promise will in
creasingly open to our railroads the
stores of capital to which they must
have access, If they are to serve the
country at all adequately.
The points Of the railroad tri-
angle are Rates, Wages, Dividends.
These represent the chief interest OF
public, of workers and OF manage
ments. II they, can be brought into
a firm and just relation, the railroads
will function at their highest eff
cheney.

FARM HELP PROBLEM
AND THE SOLUTION

The present unusual conditions OF
the country as aywhole have made 1t
a difficult proposition for farmers
to handle, as regards the labor stu
alton or farm help problem. Owing
to the late season there has been a
tendency among farm employers to
put off the hiring of men. Likewise
among the men there has been a hes
itancy about hiring out at once,
thinking there would be an oppor-
tunity to demand higher wages
thereby Another reason for not
hiring out has been the thought
that somewhere there might be
help which would be drawing few
more dollars than they would. This
many farmers looking for help and
number of men looking for places.
In all there seems to be difficulty
in getting together the employer and
prospective employee in a business
way. Recently county agent ran
ads in the Kansas CITY Star telling
readers of the opportunities in his
county for places in farms. Many
were received from Missouri, Kan
sas and the southwest. Several in
quiries came from Indiana men, also
which resulted in their coming to
this territory.
At the meeting of county agents
in Denison last week the situation
was discussed and ii was found
considerable help is needed in near
by counties. The county agent,
Mr.. Reeve, has notified men desir-
ing work that 1t can be found il
they report soon. The county
agents office has arranged to sup
ply the farmer, as well as is posi-
BILE with help. The office will fol-
low the rules of first come, first
served" In other words, the
first number of frrmers letting the
county agent know of his needs will
be given first choice in hiring appli-
cants. Should there be surplus
of applicants they will be directed to
nearby counties, for there is large
demand.
II will be noted from this that the
watchword of the farm bureau Is
service to it's members. 1t is fill
ing the gap in working out the farm
er's problems. These problems
would be serious If II we're not true
which works with ease and dispatch.
The issue in hiring help on the
farm is wages. Apparently, there
is no average wage in the county.
All sorts of scales are prevalent.
Some wages range all the way from
$50 to $50 a month for steady sim
gle men from now until corn husking
time. 1t might be said SOS to SIS
is the normal wage and when one
considers that a man receives his
living in addition it is realized that
farm help is well paid.
For young man who is versed in
farming his opportunity lies in go
ing onto the farm where he can
save money and accomplish a great
deal The farmer who needs help
or the man whe desires work should
communicate with the county agent
for his office is the center where
the farm matters are taken care of.

of your Seignieur and what you owe to him-still your Seigneur, although you no longer grind and hew for him You have forgotten !"
 There was another movement among the crowd. Her words seemed to stir them even more than the priests had done. .'No, no, mademoiselle !" cried several voices. No! We have not forgotten!" !"
 MacPherson came forward again. 'They thought" he said, "Mademoi- selle, that Monsieur Brousseau's ene- mics were yours."
 Lafe saw the girl stagger as if she had received a blow. She put her hand upon the buggy wheel and leaned thus for a moment, staring into Mac Pherson's face. Then, without a word, she stepped in, took up the reins and began to urge the horse, very slowly along the road. The cure came to the side of the vehicle.
 'T shall come to the Chateau, then, Mademoiselle Rosny," he said.
 Madeleine did not answer him. Pres ently Lafe, crouching in the bottom of the buggy, heard her sobbing again, low, heartbroken sobs that she could not check for long time. Sometimes she took her eyes from the road to look for a moment into Hilary's face, and once she stopped for a moment.
 "How is he?" she asked.
 "He is living, Mademoiselle," said Lafe. And that was all he dared to say.
 There was no lantern, and Madeleine needed all her watchfulness to avoid the stones and ruts in the road. Luck fly the moon was bright and the horse steady. Once, as the buggy swung round bend, Lafe, looking out, saw the cure trudging behind, shaking his heavy stick. He heard Madeleine still sobbing. His own heart was heavy

panted, straining together, but Pierre winning. The knife arm was surely slipping out of Hilary's clutch. It reached upward. But at the moment when it was evading him Hilary drop ped Pierre's left hand and struck the outlaw between the eyes. As he did so he heard the breathing on the other side of him.
 Pierre staggered, and in a flash Hill ary had both his hands upon Pierre's right wrist, kneading the veins and sinews till the fist opened. The knife clattered upon the floor. Hilary stopped and seized 1t.
 That was the precise instant when the knife that had been dropped by Louis Duval, wlelded by Simeon and thrust upward, found it's home be- meath Hilary's shoulder.
 Hilary, who was still bending for ward, stumbled and pitched upon the floor and lay there.

enough; he blamed himself for Hill ary's misfortune. He should have stood by him. And he had meant to do so. But he had not calculated that Hilary would walk so fast or go to St. Boniface so soon.
 The trees fell away, disclosing the Rosny chateau. The buggy stopped be- fore the door in front of which the Seigneur and the old retainer were standing, with anxious faces. Made leine bent swiftly over Hilary and raised his limp hand then she turned her eyes to Lafe's, mutely asking him that question which could not be spoken.
 'He is no worse," said Lafe.
 The Seigneur and his man came to- ward them "MacPherson telephoned to the post office and they brought me the news" he said. You did quite right, Madeleine. Gently, now, Mon- sieur," he added, addressing Cornell, and together they raised Hilary from the buggy floor. Remember the steps. Now, will go backward-so."
 They were inside the Chateau, carry ing their burden between the rows of portraits into a room which had been drawing room in bygone days, fur nished with spindle-legged furniture, gilt mirrors and ormolu cabinets. A bed in corner showed that it's use had been converted, probably because the ox.f nf hn longer habitable.
 Madeleine Rosny came in with her arms full of bed linen, diffusing the scent of wintergreen. Lafe and her father got Hilary to bed. He was stir ring now, beginning to toss his arms and mutter in delirium. The pulse was stronger, but the flush which had supplanted the pallor denoted fever. Presently the cure entered and went straight to the bedside. The three men looked at Hilary and at each other.
 T have seen men who were wounded worse recover" said Edmond Rosny. ''He has bled much, but the heart is uninjured, and unless the lung is gravely hurt well, we shall see to it that he gets we'll" he ended abruptly.
 There was nothing more Cornell could do. He would have stayed, but he felt that he must await the issue in patience. Madeleine was already established at Hilary's bedside.
 Lafe went in softly. q shall come early in the morning, Mademoiselle Rosny," he said. q want to say about what you said to Father Lucy tonight-I mean it was my fault. I guess I'm the only one to blame. I ought to have stood by him, and I went away. You did more than me, mademoiselle, and it wasn't up to you. I mean, it wasn't your business to save him."
 'Now whispered Madeleine, raising her eyes to his. And Lafe felt like a blundering fool.
 "You'll save him. he said. We can't lose him. We want him-we all want him. I guess didn't realize

unexnected Allies.

OneXpeCIeQ AIIleS.
 Lafe Cornell, at Monsieur Trem- plays hotel, stretched out his legs upon a chair and puffed viciously at his pipe, while Monsieur Tremblay leaned against the wall and listened to his guests semi-soliloquy.
 "Yep, Tremblay, I'm through now," Lafe was saying. I'm through for good, and I'm going to wait here till the boat comes tomorrow and then beat it for Shoeburyport. Lord, I'll be glad to see Clarice-my wife-and the kids again.
 Eve put up good fight, Tremblay. I've dropped eight thousand dollars in this fool game, and Clarice and me will have to start buying our home again when I get back to Shoebury- port, and maybe won't hear nothing about 1t, neither. But when it's a case of throwing away few thousand dol lars worth of lumber, just because you look upon strike as a personal of fense, and me losing my home, I've finished. I've come to the end. The end-fnish-no more. You under stand me, Tremblay. I'm going to leave him to his fate" continued Lafe, trying to draw few more mouthfuls of tobacco smoke from his burned-out plug. "It's his fault"
 He shook his pipe out angrily.
 "Oui," said Tremblay; and the word conveyed any significance that it's nearer might choose to put upon it. "Oui," he continued thoughtfully, though what he was thinking about was incomprehensible.
 ''It ain't my job" Lafe pursued. 'Im family man. I got my wife and kids to think about, and I'm against pre- paredness. It ain't reasonable to hire man for manager and then expect him to go round saloon-busting, is it, Tremblay?"
 "Oui," answered Tremblay.
 You're right" said Lafe. "Of course it ain't." He filled his pipe again, lit and puffed at it. q don't know what in thunder's wrong with this tobacco tonight" he said, and emptied it. He crossed his right leg over his left, uncrossed them, and then crossed his left over his right Then he got up.
 q guess I'll take stroll up the road and see if the stars are out" he said.
 Lafe's stroll was rapid one. AS soon as he had left the porch he al- most ran up the hill road toward the cliff. AS he panted toward the summit he heard the rumble of wheels in the distance, and presently he saw the cures rig coming toward him. He hailed.
 Say, Father Lucy, d'you mind giv- ing me lift into St. Boniface?" he called.
 The rig stopped and Lafe perceived Madeleine Rosny seated at the cures side. Her hands were clasped, her face agitated and deathly pale Lafe's hand went up to his hat awkwardly. T beg pardon, Father Lucy" he nut tered.
 Lump in, Mir. Lafe," said the cure. I'm glad that we met. We need you. We are going to St. Boniface. Jump in and shall tell you on the way"
 Lafe entered the buggy, and Father Lucien urged on the horse; then he turned and said:
 Louis Duval has opened saloon in Baptiste's old house. and Monsieur Askew has gone to stop him."
The Pulaskian., 1920-02-20

"I guessed so, Fatner Lucy, an-
 swered Lafe. q was just on my way
 there, in case there was going to be
 trouble. I guess there isn't likely to
 be, though. MT. Askew knows how to take care of himself"
 "Trouble?" questioned the cure, sharply. "They are going to murder him."
 q heard some yarn like that from Tremblay," said Lafe, but guessed that was all talk"
 Tt was not talk. It is their p1an," said Father Lucien. "Mademoiselle Rosny heard of it from Monsieur Brousseau days ago-it was on the day when you went to Ste. Marie. He rode with her toward Ste. Marie and told her so. She did not believe him. This afternoon she learned of it again from little Baptiste, who asked her to warn Monsieur Askew. Everybody knew he would go alone to St. Boni- face to stop the sale of liquor. Made moiselle Rosny rode up to the camp to warn Monsieur Askew, as Baptiste had begged her. He would not listen to her. She came to me. It is a dev- ils' plot" he said sternly, land if they hurt one hair of his head they shall go to prison for it."
 s'We must get there in time to save him. You will do all you can to save him, will you not, Mr. Connell" asked the girl, looking earnestly at Lafe. AS their eyes met Lafe realized suddenly that her agitation had more than an impersonal cause behind it. The swift knowledge came home to him with a shock; it cleared up many things among them the fogs of rancor that had clouded his mind.
 "Il1 do everything that's in my pow CT, Mademoiselle," he said. "Tll stand by him-Tll fight for him if there's any fighting"
 "There will be none," said Father Lucien. But Mademoiselle Rosny understands now what Brousseau is. She knows his character and his evil mind. And she has learned, fortunate ly, before it is too late."
 Not another word was spoken. The buggy descended the hill and rolled to- ward St. Boniface. As it crossed the rickety bridge they heard the sound of distant shouting in Duval's saloon. About the front of it was gathered the entire male population of St. Boniface. gestieulating and chattering
 They fell back in dismay as the cure leaped from the buggy and assisted Madeleine Rosny down. Lafe fol- lowed. He tried to urge the girl to re- main in the rig, but she paid no atten- tion to him. She listened with anxious intentness as the cure addressed the crowd, her lips compressed her bosom rising and falling quickly. All eyes were fixed on Father Lucien, but each, as the priest turned to him, tried to shrink back behind his neighbor.
 They were pointing inside the sa- loon. The cure hurried through the doorway, Madeleine Rosny immediate | ly behind him, and Lafe following them. The saloon, though lit by an oil lamp, was empty, as seemed to be the | dark stable beyond it, seen through the open doorway.

stretched out and motionless, his head in her lap. She bent over him and Lafe never forgot the look of anguish in her eyes, or the tension of the white face.
 Still supporting Hilary's head, she began tearing long strips off her petit coat, frantically, as if she hardly knew what she was doing. Hilary's clothing was so drenched with blood that it was difficult to determine where the wound lay. There were livid bruises about his mouth and cheeks, and on
