IN loading cars, R. II. Ashton, presi-
dent Of the American Railway Asso-

body here to-day.
He said that amount would have to
be spent for new equipment if ship
pers and the roads, by adding a few
tons to each car load, had not increased
the effectiveness of present equipment
to the equivalent of 100000 new cars.
Greater dispatch in the moving Of cars
has resulted in a further increase in
efficiency equal to 100000 more cars,

INFLATED VALUES

One does not have to wander far from home if in search of inflated values. 1t makes no difference whether you are buying pick and shovel or suit of clothes. The in- flation is there, even though it is not readily visible, as the highest divi- dends ever paid in the history of some of the large corporations will attest. This does not apply to local merchants, for nearly y'every business man realizes that it is harder to do business today than ever before and the margin of profit is comparative ly smaller.
 The imitation which we refer to at the present time is in farm values. Land or farms, like everything else have naturally gone up in price but not so rapidly in most cases as it has in two in particular that have been brought to our attention. One of these places we are told on fairly good authority, could have been pur- chased for about $7,000 and the other for about $6,O00. Now comes the appraisers for certain nationally known financial institution, and ap- praise the properties at double the above amounts, permitting the own CTS to mortgage the farms for what they would bring in the open market.
 We have no quarrel with the far mer on any price that he can get at the present time for his produce or his farm, but We are at loss to understand where the appraisers have any moral right to be doing the work they are when they stretch the value of property to nearly double what it should be. Such imitation will not benefit the farmer except for the time being and sooner or later some one must pay the differ cnce. Whether it is the same far mer or not, some farmer must pay and lose, which means one more farmer with a grievance.
 While the increased value given by the appraisal will benefit the far mer for the time being, it is bound to be a detriment to him later. Ad- iacent farms will also suffer in one way or another and from one wrong move by imitation an almost endless chain of inconvenience and losses are created.

PLANT A GARDEN

During the war there was an un- told amount of acreage planted by the people of this state who did 70 for the sake of patriotism, feeling that if they could not go to war they could help support the men who did go by growing their own vegetables, thereby releasing many laborers needed elsewhere. Many have con- tinued to plant home gardens, but numerous others have abandoned the plan in the face of rapidly rising prices and at the cost of quality.
 Right here in Canaan it is often times impossible to secure vegetables at the stores. When one can buy seeds for a few cents, mix them with a little soil and elbow grease with the result that a supply of fresh vegetables is ensured throughout the summer, there seems to be little reason why it should be necessary to go to the store for them. Many dollars could thus be saved through
  out the year, as Congress has not yet passed a law prohibiting the canning of fruit and vegetables.
 This year there seems to be more reason thar ever before for the home garden, as, according to the Depart ment of Agriculture, many farmers will be forced to seed their land, due to the scarcity and high wages de- manded by farm laborers. Another good reason is the price one must pay for potatoes at the present time
 If everyone would get their home garden back to a war time basis the high cost of living could be materi. ally reduced.

DAYLIGHT SAVING

There has been some talk of late among several local merchants re- garding the adoption of some plan for the saving of daylight during the coming summer, or in other words, to close one hour earlier, in order that those who so desired could en- joy longer evening. The plan went so far as to have a petition circulated which was to the effect that those whose signatures appeared thereon would close at o'clock daily except Saturday. It said nothing about beginning work an hour earlier.
 Some merchants were heartily in accord with the plan, others agreed to do as the majority, while a con. servative few thought it would be best to have all industries and busi ness places decide on definite plan However, nothing has yet been ac. complished and from the confusion resulting from similar plans in other cities we doubt if the business mer care to go through the same expert ence.
 A number of persons employed 1T the stores would derive considerable benefit from the extra hour in the evening and if the clocks were Jeff as they are, there seems to be nc reason why confusion should result For those who have garden, others wishing to take a short auto trip o1 to see a game of evening baseball the extra hour would give mucl satisfaction.
