For a couple of hours Christ
mas evening AL. Smith was in
position to appreciate the value
Of a strong box in one of the
vaults of the local banks, and
had it not been that fortune IA
vored him the day would have
been a very unlucky one for
him. Christmas morning Mr..
and Mrs. Smith went out to the
home of the Smith parents
in the Straight River Town
ship to spend the day. They
were brought home late in the
evening and Mr.. Potter return
ed to his home as soon as they
had stepped out of his car. On
entering the house Mr.. Smith
put his hand in his machnaW
pocket for an envelope that ne
had placed there in the morning
and it was gone. Mr.. Smith had
$500 in government bonds IN ms
house and not wanting to leave
them there while away had peI
them in his pocket for sale
keeping.
A search failed to find the
valuable package and Mr.. Smith
started back to Mr.. PotterS
home on foot, when south OF
town about two miles he met his
brother coming to town in a car
and he took him in and they
drove out to Mr.. Gerbrechts
home where they had stopped a
few minutes enroute to town. A
search of the yard there was
made and the envelope was
found, where it had been blown
No against a fence by the wind.

and he will tell you that American railroads are
the best in the world.
He saw the foreign roads = in England and
France, the best in Europe - and in other Con-
tnental countries - and he knows.
The part railroads have played in the develop
ment of the United States is beyond measure.
American railroads have achieved high stand
ards of public service by far-sghted and courage
GUS investment of capital, and by the constant
striving of managers and men for rewards for work
well done.
We have the best railroads in the world we
must continue to have the best.
But they must grow. m
To the $2OOOOOOOO 900 now invested in our
railroads, there will have to be added in the next
few years, to keep pace with the nations business,
billions more for additional tracks, stations and
terminals, cars and engines, electric power houses
and trains, automatic signals, safety devices, the
elimination of grade crossings - and for recon-
struction and engineering economies that will re-
duce the cost of transportation.
To attract to the railroads in the future the in
vestment funds Of many thrifty citizens the direct
ing genius of the most capable builders and man
ayers, and the skill and loyalty Of the best work
men - in competition with other industries bid
ding for capital, managers and men - the railroad
industry must hold out fair rewards to capital, to
managers and to the men.
American railroads will continue to set world
standards and adequately serve the Nations needs
If they continue to be built and operated on the
American principle of rewards for work well done.

The duties of q congressman
have grown greatly in the past few
years. Ten years ago congress was
not in session more than half the
time. perhaps less. During the
past four years 1t has been in ses-
sion most all Of the time, and mem
bers feel that in future years they
viii have little time to enjoy back
home where their h0nOrs are most
appreciated.
Besides requiring q member now

ingtOn, the work to be done by
the members has grown greatly
since the world war began.
A congressman now has practic-
ally two jobs to work at, either
one OF which would keep an active
man pretty busy all of the time.
The House meets in session every
day In the week. 1t takes no
weekend recess and observes few
holidays. It meets at IL o'clock,
noon and runs until S or o'clock,
and sometimes later. Committee
meetings occur in the morning and
g nights. To keep up with legis-
lative matters would keep any man
pretty busy.
The office work has grown with

A congressman's letters are on
every conceivable subject. A few
relate to legislation. Some are re.
quests for bulletins and garden

many relate to public land office
matters and q Colorado represen-
tative is q frequent caller at the

the interests Of his constituents.
All members get many letters from
ex-service men and all are anxious
to give all assistance possible to
