FOrd's Railroad Feat.

YHERE is what Henry Ford &C.
III complished on wretched little
railroad running headlong into
bankruptcy. He accomplished it in
few months. We quote financial
writer from Philadelphia:
"He turned a deficit into a sur
plus in the hard period of the
first six months Of 1921, when the
private arrangements of all the
other railroads under Wall Street
stock gambling control were whin-
ing to the Government and re.
ceiving hundreds of millions OF
dollars as undeserved aid.
"He reduced the train schedule
two hours; in other words, he in
creased the service of the road,
while the private arrangements of
our roads have been steadily de-
creasing it.
"He took the elaborate, pa
latial, private cars away from the
officials and thus reduced the
service cost to the public.
"He increased the maximum
number of cars handled in twelve
hours to (1,200) twelve hundred
The most that the old private
managers could do was to handle
two hundred cars in twenty-four
hours.
"Instead of reducing the pay of
the employees, he raised the paw
even above the union scale and
established better working condi-
tons than even the union de-
manded."
Now the ordinary reader who has
been filled up with and made to be-
lieve the propaganda put out by the
managers of the railroads to
Justify the wretched condition into
which they have driven the poor
will consider that this is
a marvellous achievement. But it
really is not so marvellous as it
seems, for the comparison is not
made with railroad management
which is doing its best, but is made
with railroad management which is
doing about its worst.
A railroad that is managed for
stock gamblers and speculative
as ours are and always will
be, until the Government takes them
over and operates them, will always
be operated under the worst posi-
bic conditions for the purpose of
graft and speculation.
The high rates which are neccs-
sary to retain the wretched private
t of our railroads are
one of the important causes of our
business depression.

XYOU notice what a tremendous
sensation is being caused by
the famine in Russia. All our
newspapers are full of it, and our
reactionary newspapers are very
busy trying to show that the
famine was caused by the in
efficiency of the Russian Soviet
Government.
The fact, of course, is that the
famine was caused by two things:
First, the barbarous, inhuman
blockade by the United States,
France and England, of Russia, for
four years, in which necessary ma
chinery, food and medicines were
not permitted to enter Russia, a
blockade which starved Germany in
two years, and which would have
starved England or France in six
months.
The other cause of the famine is
the drought, which, of course, the
reactionary newspapers and states
men will say the Soviet government
produced.
Be that as it may. Have you
heard in the newspapers anything
about the famine in India three
years ago, in which 100000
human beings died! Nobody says
that the Russians are dying by the
millions. They are just hungry.
But 100000 human beings
DIED in India under British rule
three years ago. Therefore, how

Two reports are afloat concerning
him. One is that he does not want
to return to Serbia until he has en-
tirely recovered.
The other is that he is perfectly
we'll but does not want to return to
his kingdom at all, because he is
engaged to marry good-looking
Princess and believes that two low
ing hearts in a cottage are prefers
BILE to throne.
Far be it from us to attempt to
sway him in making his decision.
We have troubles of our own, and
whether one King more or less
makes a blunder does not really
concern us. But, were he member
of our family or a distant relative
or belonged to our lodge or were
even a friend of friend of ours, we
would talk to him thusly:
"Alex," we would say, "take the
cottage and let the kingdom go. If
it is a good cottage, with good
plumbing, a nice garden and fair
sized mortgage, you will have
lot of fun out of it and no come
back. You will have fresh vegeta-
bles, all the delights of rural life
and you will sleep like a brick. Ii
you have a loving heart with YOU
man alive, it will be as near to
heaven on earth as you will ever get.
"If you take the kingdom you
are borrowing trouble. You will
have a parliament, a socialistic OPP
position, depleted treasury, de-
preciated currency, the League Of
Nations, labor troubles, Bolshevism,
and a host of other evils to deal
with every day. For every man you
please you will offend two. You'll
get no sleep. Uneasy lies the head,'
you know.
"Take tip from, us, Alex. 1t IS
better to have your hired man re-
mark to the letter carrier, MY boss
is having a grand time than to have
your prime minister lay a wreath
upon your casket and say, He was
a great king
above all, Alex, stick to the
loving heart. Show her a photo
graph of the cottage and the cows
and pigs and chickens and ducks.
And then show her the balance sheet
Of Jugoslavia's treasury. Her de-
cision will come pretty close to
bullseye.
and. incidentally, Alex, You
might give her our regards"

Bullet In Hand Eleven Years

Eleven years ago, Mr.. Glen Coop
er was accidentally shot through the
right hand, the bullet lodging in a
finger joint. He had always had
some trouble with the finger but did
not realize that the bullet w a S
imbedded in it. 1t finally gave him
so much trouble that on Wednesday
morning, at the home of his moth
er, Mrs. MayCooper, Drs. Holland
and Orr extracted the bullet, meas
uring nearly three-fourths of an
inch.
