World war when seventy years old
serving nearly three years.
Today, although seventy-five years
old, Colonel Wood is inspector general
Of the Grand Army of the Republic,
and is chaplain Of the John Regan
post of the American Legion, Boise,
Idaho, which he organized and served
as its first commander.
Colonel Wood was born June 4,
1916. Fifteen years later he was
bearing a musket in the Civil war. He
was twice wounded during this serv-
ice. Later, he served in the Indian
wars as senior medical officer in two
expeditions against the Cheyenne and
Sioux. In the Spanish-American war
he was chief surgeon of the First di-
vision Of the Fifth army corps from
its organization until its Abandonment
after the Santiago campaign.
In the World war Colonel Wood was
on active duty from June %, 1916, I'M
til February IS, 1919. He'was under
fire in all except the World war and

guished service.

member Of the American Legion Hospi-

are such men among those who apply

Doctor Salmon, In his plea.for com

are 5000 empty beds in the govern

beds alone cannot cure the disabled

year instead of for the eight months
during which the wage increases were
in effect, the labor cost, on an annual
basis, would have been largely in ex-
cess of $4,000, zoo, 000-an increase
since the government took charge of
railroad wages in the Adamson Act,
of approximately s2,450, 100000 an
nually.
In the light of these figures, it is
manifest that the recent reduction Of
wages authorized by the Labor Board,
estimated at from 10 to II per cent
in no sense meets or solves the prob
lem of labor costs and in no way
makes it possible for the railroads to
afford a reduction in their revenues.
Thousands of Rates Already Reduced
Indeed, during the past year there
have been between four and five thou
sand individual reductions in freight
rates. On some railroads the reduc-
tions in rates have amounted to more
than the reductions in wages so far
made, and on many other railroads the
reductions in wages allowed no net re-
turn on operations, but merely pro-
Vided against the further accumulation
of deficit.
The point is often made that agri-
culture and other industries are also
suffering the same immediate difficult
ties as the railroads, why, therefore,
do not the railroads take their medi-
cine like anybody else? The answer
lies in several facts:
1. The railroads were not permit
ted, as were other industries, to make
charges during the years of prosperity,
making possible the accumulation of
surplus to tide them over the pres
ent extreme adversely. According to
the reports of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, the rate of return
on property investment of the rail-
roads of the United States for the
past several years has been as fol-
lows:

On account of i'll health. Rev. Robert

five years pastor of the Moravian church
at Dundurn, Province of Saskatchewan
Canada, has been forced to give up his

Rev. Robert Heubener is about to re-

as in the religious life of the community,
he has rendered good service 80
'That the services at the Moravian
church have been a source of inspiration
to nobler living is admittedly true, and
many lives have been cheered by Mr..
Heubener's long ministry. We believe
the Sunday School-the nursery of the
church-has been immensely helped by
Mrs. Heubener, whose valuable services
and winsome personality will be greatly
missed among the little ones. On Satur.
