EDITORIAL ON "CASH BONUS"
Chicago Newspaper Comments on Com
mander MacNider's Plan for Ro-
tating Fund to Be Loaned.

1.-THE soundest policy which has been
offered with respect to cash bonus"
is the editorial comment of Chicago
paper on Hanford MacNider's plan for
a rotating fund to be loaned out to
needy ex-service men.
The editorial, in part, follows:
SIN many cases the bonus, distrib-
uted to all alike, will be given to men
who are not in actual need Of it, to
some who do not need it at all. All
degrees of financial competency were
In the army. For other men the al
lotment will not be enough. They need
more credit than that to recover.
"Men who have no need of bonus
could take it without scruple If they
intended to place 1t in the fund. Men
who have need of it could get 1t from
the fund pay it back when they could,
and keep the money available for con-
tinuing relief"

You Can Talk to Practically
All the People IN the Town
THnoo r.. THIS pA7TR
WEATHER CHARTS SAVE MONEY
In PLACING RAILROAD TIES.

The relationship between railroad
ties and weather reports would seem
to be rather distant, but a report
received by the Weather Bureau of
the United States Department Of
Agriculture from one Of the large
railroad systems of the west shows
that the rainfall charts prepared by
the bureau saved this railroad a
large amount of money.
During the war this railroad was
unable to get creosote and had to
substitute zinc chloride as a preserv-
ative for ties. The zinc salt is
satisfactory preventative in dry
climate. but where the rainfall is
heavy it teaches out. When the war
ended this company had on hand
100000 ties that had been given
the zinc treatment. Instead of re-
treating them with creosote, the
engineers secured a Weather Bureau
chart and transferred the lines Of
average precipitation to map Of
the system. Then they distributed
the zinc-treated ties for use on those
parts of the road in relatively dry
regions.

THE UNITED OPINION BRADFORD
GAS AND ELECTRICITY WILD BE
SUPPLIED IN NEW ENGLAND
NOTWITHSTANDIN THE
COAL STRIKE.

Either directly or indirectly 8 out
of every 10 persons in the United
States are affected by our electrical
and gas industries. Therefore, in
view of the coal strike, and in the
interests Of all our people, have
these great and necessary industries
taken care of their coal needs so as
to prevent serious shortage of cleo
tricity and gas ?
The Geological Survey reported
five months ago that the gas plants
and electric light and power plants
of the country had on hand coal
supplies sufficient for about 81 days.
Since that time there has been a
further steady accumulation of re-
serves in preparation for the strike
emergency.
There are 6478 electric light and
power plants and 966 gas manufac-
turing plants in the United States.
The estimated consumption of coal in
our gas plants alone is 100000 tons
of bituminous and 100000 tons of
anthracite each year.
Manufacturers and others contem-
plating increased employment and re-
sumption of activities need have nc
fear of any serious curtailment in
the supply of gas and electricity
The public utility industry has been
mindful of it's customers interests,
their products are not so much at
the mercy of labor conditions and
transportation as coal, and customers
will find electricity and gas on tap
during the strike whenever they wish
it and in the quantity desired.
