OF course, no farmer would ship a

the shipment would equal the whole
price obtained. The result was that
the farmer lost the sale and the rail-
road lost the traffic Everybody lost.
Since the rate increase of 1920
there has been some reduction OF
railroad freight tariffs, but the scale
remains high above the pre-war level.
Traffic is climbing up again rapidly
with renewed prosperity and is bring
ing trouble. The railroads are not
equipped to handle the increase. Car
shortage and terminal congestion are
developing seriously along with the
increased traffic.
The railroads claim that one trouS
BILE Is that congress has limited their
earnings. They say they caAnot sell
bonds to get money to make improve
ing power. Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon has frankly expressed the
opinion that there is too much rail-
road regulation. He has proposed
what he terms a holiday for the rail-
roads-that is a period of five years
or more in which restrictive legisla-
ton will be largely withdrawn from
railroad operation, permitting them
TO make as much money as they can.
He has pointed out that the course
of railroad rates was down as the re-
suit of competition before the advent
of federal regulation and that
since the interstate commerce COM
mission was established to regulate
rates, the course of rates has been
upward Mr.. Mellon says the roads
and the public, were both better off
without restrictive Regulation, and it
may be that he will undertake to tell
congress how his holiday plan can be
carried into effect. At any rate con-
gress is about to tackle the problem
again and the country and the rail-
road companies must await the result.
Meantime, enough trains are running
so that one haste be careful at cross
ings.

Almost any woman with chatting
dish, and a rink shaded lamp, and a
comfortable char can marry any man
who doesn't live at home, but far
otherwise would it be with her If the
man were himself a domestic expert
who could concoct his own favorite
dishes, and mot have to buy them at
the price of wedding ring. Just
the woman who can make her own
comfortable living, thank you. casts
a cold eye on matrimony, so with the
man who l. his own cook.
There are those who think that it
might promote domestic felicity and
harmony for men to acquire the do
nestle arts, and that for husband
and wife to be two souls with but, a
single palate, two appetites that
craved as one, would be an ideal
union.
Certainly, arsimilarity in taste is a
strong bond of attraction between
man and woman. One can imagine
no marriage more uncongenial than
that of a health food fadd.st united TO
an epicure, nor would any breakfast
table be a darker or more bioody
Battle-Ground than that over which
was daily fought the question or not

without a doubt a husband who
knew at breakfast what he was going
to want fore dinner, and one could
suggest a new desert when one own
inventive faculty had played out,
would be a pearl of price, a matri-
monial Jewel of purest rays serene,
that a woman would have even more
difficulty in preserving from her
predatory sisters than she would have
in keeping a first class coQk. This
advantage, however. would be moro
than offset by the cockiness that his
accomplishment would induce in the
man.
For some inexplicabIe reason, a.
mans knowlc lge of cookery seems to
swell his head more than any other
attainment. He may be brilliant
lawyer, a,world famous doctor, a sue
cessful railroad man, a financier who
has made>millions. and be h1mble and
deprecating out his chievements,
but let i'm make a Welsh rarebit
that isn't gooey, or ropey, and he
brags about it in season and out or
/ season.
Most women have had exasperatinG
experience with Islands who tell
how they made coffee, or fried bacon
when they went camping, and SO the
| idea of beil united to man who
really knows how to cook will not
seem alluring to them. AS 1t is, one
marriage in twelve in America ends
| in divorce. but the ratio undoubtedly
would b. much greater If the wife
! had to listen at every meal while her
! husband told how light his cake al

Before we can possibly understand
life, we must first -get into ourselves
and become daily discoveries of our
own hidden resources.
And before we can intelligently
walk, up to God and tell Him that we
want to become a living part of His
plan, we must first walk up to our
selves and pledge honest allegiance.
It is much more profitable to look
first after ones soul than ones for
tune.
For what shall it profit man if he
gain the whole world and lose this
soul of his-in the thought of the
Bible.
And how character stands high and
dry and grand against an estate of
mere lands and moneyed possessions.
Before you can possibly succeed.
you must first learn the simple prin-
ciples on which success depends
work, honesty enthusiasm, loyalty,
love, unselfishness.
If you have no belief in life, how
can Immortality have any appeal for
you?
And if you have no confidence in
yourself, how can you hope for the
confidence of others?N
First become expert in the handling
of little things-efficiently then
the big t. ings will loom before Won
confident enthusiasm and full of
faith in their ultimate accomplish
ment.
First have love in your own heart
for otherS-and the love of others for
you will naturally follow.
Rarbor clean thoughts and the en-
tire world will look clean to you
If you want to measure the life of a
building, first look over its founda-
ton.

health if you would live long and

The Washington Star wired news
paper editors all over the Country for
expressions regarding the state of the
public mind on the ship subsidy. 4
perusal of the replies leads to the con-
olnsidln that outside of a fewIocali-
ties expecting direct and immediate
BENEFITS, the subsidy finds little favor.
A few editors took advantage of the
Opportunity to state their personal
views. Among these was Josephus.
Daniels, former secretary Of the navy.
who expressed himself in part as fol-
lows: 1--WE. cannot buy foreign trade
BY putting public money in a private
pocket. Repeal OF the Fordney-Mc-
Cunber tariff act Will do more to Sc
cure foreign trade and consequent
Strengthening of our merchant marine
than the subsidy. It is uneconomical
10 build high wall to prevent reason
able Interchange of products and then
pay some one to scale the wall. That
is the policy as expressed in the Ford

However one may disagree with Mt.
