Be SOLD TO EUROPE

WASHINGTON, March Give mil
lion barrels of Federal Grain Corpora
ton soft wheat -four will be sold on
credit in Europe soon unless Congress
authorizes $50,O00,0O0 loans to fiance
the sales, julius Barnes, head of the
corporation told the House rules COM
mittee today He said he now had au-
thority to make the sales on credit but
hoped the loans would be authorized.
The flour now held at American
ports and for which the corporation
asks $1O.75 barrel, is the cheapest
in the world" MIR. Barnes told the
committee He added that every eff
fort had been exhausted to sell it for
cash." but that American housewives
would pay higher prices for the hard
wheat -four.
why are prices of -four going up?"
asked Representative Fess, Republican
of Ohio.
Much Soft Wheat.
"The last year crop situation was a
peculiar one" answered Mr.. Barnes.
There was a small yield of the strong
wheat and big yield of the soft wheat.
Flour made from the soft wheat could
be obtained for domestic use at all
times at the exact reflection of the
government guaranteed price of wheat.
THE pressure for different kind of
flour by the housewives led the millers
to bid up the prices and in North Da-
kota in five months the hard wheat
price was increased so cents bushel
above the guarantee"

News and Events
Among R. R. Workers

Considerable confusion and trouble
was caused at the East Pennsy yards
Thursday afternoon, when the coal
shute broke and tied up a string of
engines on the track preparatory to
taking on coal for their runs. How
ever, the coal shute was repaired, and
passenger trains left Richmond as per
schedule, althouh freights were slight
ly delayed.
Because of the rainy and disagree
able weather on Thursday, the car re-
pair gang was greatly depleted. The
condition was but little better Friday.
This laying off" greatly inconven-
fences officials, for the repair gang is
short handed and considerably behind
in the number Of cars repaired each
day.
Because only 20 of the 100 men for
merly employed as car repairmen have
returned to work, production has de-
creased. This necessitates a nine
hour working day. The car repair
force is also forced to work nine
hours to take care of the extra work.
A freight car loaded with kitchen
cabinets was struck by a switch en-
CINE in the east yards Friday after
noon, slightly damaging the car and
contents.
w. E. Scott, master mechanic, and
A. c. Watson, superintendent, left
Richmond Friday for a tour Of in
spection of the Pennsy division be-
tween here and Logansport.
Plans for the formation of a Penn
sy baseball league for the coming
summer are under way. Games may
be played at noon, and after work in
the afternoon. A diamond may be
laid out in the vacant ground north
OF the east yards. Tentative plans
indicate the league will be composed
of six teams. Each office will be
represented, as will the repair gang,
round house, inspectors and trainmen.

STA has become a rather simple mat

is so perfected a minimum of time
and risk is involved.

SELLERS MUST SAY

What time does the next train

That is different, Madame, the next
train leaves for Greensboro at $3.50
p. m, but We have no town by the
name of Home" on our line"
This is but sample of the many
incidents in the lot of the ticket sellers
at local railroad stations. Others are
numerous, but this happened last
week.
Ticket sellers unwittingly start many
q person on the road to fame and
fortune, for practically every day some
young man or woman leaves Richmond
for the big cities in quest of the two.
The ticket sellers also start persons
on the road to the penitentiary.
Sheriffs Carr or Wadman are frequent
visitors to the ticket windows, both in
quest of prisoners in other towns, and
conveying the offenders to their
punishments.
Ticket sellers are supposed, to be
human railroad cyclopedias, no matter
what information one is in quest of, or
what complaint one has to make, the
ticket seller is always the goat.
He has to tell worried wife just
what is delaying hubby's train; he has
to inform pleasure bent Richmondites
Just what is delaying the trains to Gin
cinnati, indianapolis or Chicago, and
has to map out route for the vaca-
ton seekers to follow.
The ticket sellers opinion is even
asked as to shows in the big cities and
us to recommend hotels.
Economical mothers will hold partly
grown children in their arms and in
form the ticket sellers that seeing as
how the children are in arms they
don't need tickets" However, the
conductor is the Judge.
1t is frequent occurrence for resi-
dents of towns near Richmond to come
here to marry, and start from Rich
mond on their ioneymoons.
