THE RAILROADS
Stephen Bill and Edwin L. Barnes,
in Commerce and Finance.

The Association of Railway Ex-
ecutives has abolished its labor COM
mittee, headed by w. w. Atterburg,
which has been in existence since
November, 1919 This is the first step
in the decentralization of national
bargaining by railroads with their en-
ployes on the wage question. The
problem of reducing expenses, the
wage ITEM is engaging the attention
of all the carriers. Approximately
$4,000 workers have been laid of
since last September. This eliminates
the 261 900 increase in employees which
occurred during Federal control A
number of eastern railroads contem-
plate cutting wages of common labor,
and conferences will be held in the
near future. Among the roads plan
ming reductions are the New York
Central, Central of New Jersey, Dele
ware, Lackawanna & Western, Long
Island and Baltimore & Ohio.
Unless a remedy is found for the
present railroad situation, says Elisha
Lee, vice-president of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, the only way to pro-
vide for railway development will be
supported by increased taxation. Sen
ator Cummins, chairman of the Sen
ate Committee on Interstate Com
merce, plans to put before the new
Congress a resolution calling for a
sweeping investigation of the railroad
situation, special inquiry to be made
into the reason for the high operating
costs. Washington advices say that
the Senate will probably order the in
vestigation to be made. Two partial
payments to railroads, the first under
the Winslow act, totaling $685., 100
have been made to the Great Northern
and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St
Paul.
Approximately two-thirds of the
1000 union employees of the Atlanta,
Birmingham & Atlantic Railroad have
walked out on strike because the re-
ceiver for the road, with the sanction
of the court, ordered reduction in
wages amounting to so per cent of
the increases since 1917. A sympathe-
tic strike throughout the southeast is
talked of.

the sale of the Denver & Rio Grande
Railroad until March 25, during which

this region in the 100000 which
will be loaned through the Louisville
Federal Land Bank to farmers in
Kentucky and adjoining States. The
aid offered in the fordney Emergency
Tariff Bill was not real The revival
of the War Finance Corporation was
mere political chicanery. Under the
Supreme Court decision holding the
Federal Farm Loan Act constitutional
the farmers will get the benefit of
constructive legislation enacted during
the Wilson Administration and partly
as a result of the Presidents wish.
Some farmers in eKntucky have
been paying 8 per cent for money bor-
rowed through banks, the law of sup
ply and demand providing the bank
ers' excuse. Such borrowers may, by
using as security farms which they
hold under clear titles, reduce their
interest payments. The farmer who
borrows under the Federal Farm
Loan Act is not obliged to hunt
money lender from whom he procures
a loan as a favor. His borrowing is a
business transaction purely, and by
amortization his loan may be wiped
out gradually.
Improvement in business, beginning
in rural counties and in county capi-
tails will result from the removal of
the barrier raised between the farmer
and his opportunities under the Fed
eral Farm Loan Act by litigation in
stituted to test the validity of the
law.
The Federal Reserve Act averted
panic in America after the war The
Federal Farm Loan Act will avert
disaster upon many farms, and upon
a far greater number render substan-
tia1 aid. Both laws were passed by

aims than those of the small politician

NV child OH my child thou weary tonight
Thy spirit is sad and dim is the light;
Thou wouldst call me back from the echoless Shore
To the trials of life, to thy heart as of yore;
Thou longest again for my fond loving
For kiss thy cheek, for hand thy hair;
But angels around thee their loving watch keep,
And angels, darling will rock thee to sleep
Backward? Nay onward we swift rolling years,
Grit thy amor, keep back thy tears;
Count thy trials efforts in vain
They'll bring thee the light of thy childhood again,
Thou shouldst weary, my child by the way
But watch for the light of that brighter day.
Not tired of sowing for others to reap
For angels darling will rock thee to sleep.
Tired my child of the base the untrue,
/ have tasted the cup they have given you
I've left the deep sorrow in the living green
OF a low messy grave by sivery stream;
But the dear mother / then sought for vain
Is angel presence and with again.
And in the still night, from the silence deep,
Come the bright angels to rock me to sleep.
Nearer thee than days that are flown,
Purer the love light encrcing thy home;
For enduring the watch for tonight;
Then earth worship away from the light
the dark shadows will lnger
Nor to thy call from the opening door;
But know that child that the angels watch keep;
And soon, very they'll rock thee to sleep.
They'll sing thee to sleep soothing song
And waking, thoult be with heavenly throng
And thy life with its toll its and its pain,
Thou wilt then has not been in
Thou wilt those in bliss whom earth thou didst love-
And whom thou hast taught of the mansions above,
Never hereafter to suffer to weep"
The angels my darling will rock thee to sleep.

THE EFFICIENT WOMAN.

We hear a great deal nowadays
about the efficiency Of women. In
the novels of fifty years ago, who
ever heard a woman praised for
her executive ability, force, and
energy, in the sense that it is used
today? The frail, delicate, helpless
ideal of womanhood has passed
away. How is it possible to meas
ure up to the ideals of modern
vomanhood? In the first place, we
must keep our bodies in the best
possible condition.

7 IFE owes us all sonething-if we've pro-
L. tected our investment. Many Of us try
to go on collecting from life without protecting
our investment. And we can't. And there's
trouble-and disappointment.
What's become of those mornings when it
was great to be alive, and every sense thrilled
to the inspiration of health and energy and
ambition? It was easy to collect from life
then. Is it so easy now? Probably life is
just the same-and it's ourselves that have
changed.
Let's think: Have we protected our invest
ment? Health was the big thing. Sound body
and nerves eat well, sleep well, play well,
work well. That was the life. What's be-
come of it? What is becoming of it-now?
Protecting or neglecting? It's very impor-
tant to know-and in time
What about coffee and tea day after day?
Let's look at the facts: Caffeine in coffee and
them in tea are drugs-well- known drugs with
well known effect. Useful perhaps, when
doctor prescribes them They whip up the
nerves.
That may be all right-sometimes. But
it may be all wrong all the time. III
great many cases it is all wrong; disturbing
to health, as your doctor can tell you-rob-
bing nights of sleep and days of efficiency,
harrning digestion, bringing headaches and
high blood pressure-laying the grounds for
serious trouble.
And the fact that the harm comes SLOWLY
and may not be noticed for a long time is all
the more reason why it paws to be on o71ard-
why 1t does not pay to take the risk.
The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1921-11-09

Really, then can you collect what's COM
ing to you from 1ife-the zest the accomplish
rent, the 'fee1'' and enjoyment-and trife
with your investment in health?
There's no sacrifice in safety from coffee
and tea dangers-not bit. Postum fur
nishes the way.
Postum is pure cereal beverage, rich,
comforting and satisfying, deep brown in
color, with a coffee-like tang and flavor
which makes you say, ''How good it tastesn'
Don't think you will miss anything when
you change from coffee or tea to Postum
You gain! Ask the Postum users. They
know. And they're mighty free to tell YOU.
Postum has been serving human need fer
quarter of a century. It has been a world
wide table-drink these many years-tte num-
Der Of its users growing daily. Postum is sold
and served wherever good food and drink are
sold and served. And Postum is the 1nea1tine
beverage Of folks who have decided to come
up and keep up where they be1ong-purpose-
tul, wlde-awake, healthy and happy folks who
believe it's better to be safe than sorry-par-
ticularly when it's more pleasant and agree
able being safe.
II you don't happen to be a Postum user
yet'-wouldn't it be better for you to be out
on the sunrise road, going up and keeping I'D,
and staying away from the shadows where so
many have found trouble and encouragement
We can't ask life to be fair with us, YOU
know-unless we're fair with ourselves. And

Oelng tar with ourselves especially when we
know the facts as SO many physicians have
pointed them out.
