RAIL FREIGHT CONGESTION
DEMANDS CONCERTED ACTION

Washington. May 13. - Imperative
necessity for concerted action to re-
lieve the freight congestion on Am.
erican railroads in order to prevent
serious curtailment of production en-
gagged the attention today Of all gov
c: nment agencies which deal with the
national arteries of transportation.
Reports from important terminals
agreed that while the situation was
not as acute as it was two weeks
ago. it still threatened q slowing
down Of industry with resulting un-
employment and economic disturb.
ance.
Shortage of cars was given by
most authorities as the principal
cause of the congestion with lack
of adequate personnel and motive
power as important contributory
causes. The fact that the strike Of
railroad employees still was in pro.
gress in some districts had depleted
train and yard crews at important
gateway connections and prevented
clearing of these distributing points,
it was said.
The committee on car service OF
the American railroad association es-
timated 235,O0O cars tied up or de-
layed in transit at this time.

FRIENDSHIP

Friends are the salt Of the earth,
the cooling springs by the wayside
that makes life's highway a pathway
Of happiness" says William Faver-
sham.
Friendship is the foundation upon
which great are builded. A
house builded upon the sands Is not
more uncertain than a so-called sue
cess leaving In its walk a trail OF b-
terness and hatred.
IAN enemy is worth nothing to any
one Play the game square, so out
OF your way to make friends and then
let the future take care Of Itself.
And remember. always. thatfriend-
ship Is bottled sunshine that will
warm and cheer the bleak and gray
twilights towards the end OF the
road"

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT
GETTING THEIR BOOZE STILL

Fallon Standard: John Barleycorn
is rather a persistent type. He quits
doing business with reluctance and
reappears from time to time when
ever the opportunity is presented.
Many places in this State have scraped
up a new acquaintanceship with John,
say those who travel through our
counties. and there are points, notab-
ly Elko. Ely. Eureka, Austin. Tono-
pah, Goldfeld and Reno where booze
still holds sway with few disputants
on the Job. Up in Elko booze hounds
still walk up, singly. in pairs and in
groups, and toss six bits over the bar
for a brief session with B~arleycorn.
Association with John comes high,
yet there are those who are willing to
pay the price.

U. s. MONEY FLOWS TO CANADA

Capital from the United States has
been invested in Canada to the ex-
tent of $500. 100000 duriEy the past
year. a Dominion government report
says. This money has not been in
vested in Canadian industries alone,
but much of 1t is in the bonds of the
Dominion and Of the separate prov
inces.
1t is stated that 80 per cent of the
$275,0O0,O0O of capital invested In
Canadian paper and pulp mills is
American.
In the last few years more than
half a billion dollars Of American
money has been invested In Canadian

Time To Go Back to the Land"

The United States, blessed with a
greater abundance of food than any
other country has. imported $780,
100000 worth of foreign foodstuffs
In August. In the same month we
exported only s153.000.0O worth.
Since January 1, 1920. we have i'm
ported food to the value of $780,
100000, and exported a little less.
This is one of the consequences of
the American peoples rush from the
country to the cities. We are not
now a self-supporting people in the
matter of food. We are living, in
part, on the scanty food stores of a
starving world.
