CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-Businesses in
several sections of the grain belt will
be faced with paralysis unless the
railroads Of the country can move
sufficient cars TO carry away millions
of bushels of grain, much of which is
already beginning to rot on the
ground. according to reports to the
United News
Bumper crops are reported through
out the Middle West, and in some
cases show an increase of 100 per cent
in volume over last year. This fact
almost doubles the crying need for
| cars and the seriousness Of the stu
alton to the farmer, grain men de-
/ clare.

have been able to fill but Is per cent

In Kansas alone Hnore than 1S,0o0,-
COO bushels of whe await shipment.
Two banks already have been forced
to close and officials Of several Others
admit that they also may be forced
to close within a few days. Farmers
are losing untold thousands Of dollars,
it is reported. and many of them are
leaving their farms in disguest.
This situation is nearly as acute in
Missouri, and to some extent in other
parts Of the Southwest. where there
is also a serious shortage of cattle
cars.
The total shortage for all American
shippers reaches 10000 box cars, it is
declared.
The five causes commonly given for
the present trans. ortation tangle are:

the country.

PREPOSTEROUS

Once upon a time-jUst before the

Zone is lucky if one can buy a couple
OF pounds Of butter for the same

And everything else has risen in

fall in the value of the mark reckOned

10 wonder why.
Every one who has something to
sell or a service TO give has followed
the course Of the dollar faithfully,
boosting his price when the dollar
was strOng-and keeping it boosted
when the dollar tumbled.
An artificial high level Of prices
has, therefore. resulted which in most
cases has no logical basis for exist
ing. The prices double and treble
over the course of a few weeks and
wages hardly have a chance to catch
up. Hence, the German worker and
white-collar desk fellows with small
pay feel the pinch which their own
merchants are creating.
The government is greatly con-
cerned with the situation. Means to
check the rise in prices are being pro-
posed. The government proposes to
regulate the use Of grains and sugar
in the making Of booze and to keep
tighter watch on the night life.

s. An inadequate car supply which
is declared never to have been suf-
tcient to handle the peak Of traffic
"Dislocauon" of cars is also be-
leved to have played a tremendous
part in the shortage in the West
which means in this instance, that
eastern railroads are congested with
cars which should be allocated in the
West.
The principal grain carrying roads
in the Middle West and the North
west have placed embarsoes on crop
shipments to the East in order to keep
their rolling stock on their own track

the Northern Pacific, which tap the
grain fields Of Minnesota and the Da-
kotas. according to the farm bureau,
have placed embargoes on all grain
shipments. As a result Minneapolis
shippers have for the past week offer
ed premiums of from two to five cents
a bushel for grain consigned through

When this strike was only a few

OF fuel oil as the way out CT their
difficulty. The Standard Oil did not
encourage this, saying fuel oil was
the right fuel for large users but
the cost Of equipment and vlscuous
character of the oil made it less prac-
ticable for small users. 1t advised
the use of kerosene. Kerosene burn
