The religious meetings held at the
! Garnet Center Presbyterian church
beginning Dec 81 ended Sunday
evening Jan. IL. These meeting were
conducted by A. J. Saunders the
man that Billy Sunday looks upon as
his greatest convert. In spite OF
winter weather and bad travelling the
meetings were quite well attended,
and it is hoped that much good will
result from them. We regret that
the time of year rendered it impos-
siblc for people all over town to avail
themselves of the opportunity to hear
Nj. Saunders while he was in our
midst. Those who had that privil-
cgc were united in their opinion OF
his preaching and power for good.

The Successful Farmer
Raises Bigger Crops

and cuts down costs by investment in
labor-saving machinery.
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 d.
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
railroads grow.
Poor railroad service is dear at any
price. No growing country can long pay
the price of inadequate transportation
facilities.

pend on the railroad to get them to
