 a slight relation to what should ol
 must be spent the following year With the railroad, there is an ire.
 ducible minimum that must be spent perly equipping it will result in the decrease of appropriation necessary in future years by decreasing the fu- ture cost of maintenance and opera tion; thus shortening the length of the dark days of the second period of it's history. AS expenses are de- creased the amount of the traffic to produce revenue to meet these ~ex- penses is also decreased.
 No one can believe that our gov ernment could or would abandon the railroad and thereby cause a total loss to those who have invested cap- ital and labor in the railroad belt such investment being made in the belief that the railrad once con- structed would be continued, but there is some uncertainty as to the kind of a railroad and character of its service that will be produced and when the third period, that of pros perity, should be reached
 To the end that a good road with adequate service be provided and for thehastening fo the day when the railroad will be self-supporting, the cooperation and assistance of all persons interested in the devel- of Alaska is solicited, for, no country can be truly prosperous until it can bear it's own transporta- tion costs.

Students Are Ready To Plant
Farm Crops.

March 10 marks the end Of classes
for students in the short course at the
Wisconsin College of Agriculture for
the year l924-l925.
At that time more than 100 young
men will return to Badger farms to
ply with enthusiasm the scientific
training which they have received to
the planting and harvesting of an
other crop. OF this number, IS are
first-year men who undoubtedly will
return to finish their course after
the work is done next fall.
Glass day exercises will be given
for the others, members of the
graduating class, on the afternoon

exercises, Ward Nelson, Racine
county, is president of the class.
Since 1886, when the first short
course class was graduated from the
College Of Agriculture, 80 classes
have gone out to put into practice
principles of agriculture as taught
at the Badger institution. Every
year adds to the ranks of the men in

Fixing The Blame.

In 1928 there were 2,268 persons
killed at highway railroad crossings
more than double the number of
such fatalities in 1918.
On 302 railroads, Representing
more than seventy percent of the
railroad mileage of the country. $780,
100000 passengers were carried last
year without a single accident
From these facts a school boy can
distinguish who is responsible for
the vast majority of the grade cross
ing accidents,
The evidence multiplies that motor
car drivers must share most of the
blame.
In recent period of two weeks,
out of twenty-three accidents at
crossings of one railroad, eight were
caused by automobiles running into
trains
The same impulse that causes a
motorist to run into the middle of a
train would get him in front of a
train on a crossing.
II costs the person at the wheel of
an auto only the fraction of a
second to be careful.
If he doesn't use caution in APP
preaching and crossing a railroad OF
interurhan line, he can't consistently
expect much sympathy.-Ex.

AuTTLE TALK ON THRIFT
BY S. ". STRAUS
President Of American Society for Thrift

If you were told that more
acute public consciousness of the
values Of thrift would mean higher
wages, shorter working hours and
better standards of living, you
would he inclined to give ready ear
to anything that would bring about
these happy conditions.
Yet it is true that we all are
paying a penalty for public lack of
thrift. This point was well brought
out by Secretary Hoover in a recent
public address in which he said, "The
reduction of waste means that a
considerable part of our population
who are busily employed in this un-
necessary motion can be directed to-
wards the production of other COM
modities and thus their addition to
the national standard of living; il
means lowering in cost of living;
or it means more goods for the same
money. To our workers it means less
labor, more time for recreation, and
no attack upon wage levels; to our
farmers it means an increased pro-
portion of the consumers dollar as
the returns which he receives from
his production are subject to the de-
auctions of the cost of market
ing. .
1t would not be possible in the
scope of this article to go into the
various forms of waste which place
such heavy penalties upon the
economic lives of everyone. The
Engineering Council recently re-
ported that in many lines waste
amounts to % or 30 percent of the
cost paid by the consumer or by the
producer of raw materials. The De-
partment of Commerce estimates
that the annual waste in transporta-
ton alone for which the shipper is
responsible aggregates $500 900, 900.
These are forms of waste that are
impersonal. They reach into every
avenue of business activity and,
therefore, are difficult to correct.
One thing that will aid tremend-
ously is more widespread individual
thrift. The man who is thrifty in his
own habits is pretty apt to be thrifty
in the duties he performs for others.
AS thrift permeats the nation, in
diyidual economic conditions are
bound to improve 1t is our duty to
preach and teach thrift as well as to
practice it.
Make thrift general In it lies the
solution of many of our most seri-
Gus economic problems.

WOULD TEST COWS
FOR TUBERCULOSIS
Representative of Department of Ag-

go Before Board Monday.

A Department of Agriculture en-
ployee has been in Watauga recently
in an effort to have the county in
stitute a campaign against tubercu-
losis in the cattle.
Students of medicine claim to know
that tuberculosis may be transmitted
from tubercular COW through her
milk to human beings, the disease
sometimes failing to manifest itself
until years later.
Watauga will be asked next Mon
day by those sponsoring this move
ment to cooperate with the state and
national government for the eradica-
tion of tuberculosis in the cattle To-
cally, sharing with them in the ex-
pense to nominal extent. Animals
found with the disease would be kill
ed and the owner paid for the ami
NAL by the government.
Considerable interest has been
manifested and it is expected and
at least hoped that the commissioners
may give the proposition an unprej l.
diced hearing.

trustees and Rev. w. A. Stanbury
pastor of Edenton Street Methodist
Church of Raleigh, called at the Of
flee of the secretary of state and
took out the additional papers.
*****
There was not little lament that
Bishop John Carlisle Kilgo coul not
live to see his institution come to
such a fruition. The Bishop frs
interested the Dukes greatly in the
Methodist's daring and perhaps no
one man ever inspired so much mu-
nifcence as he did. 1t is true that he
was dead set against football and
the return of the institution to the
game may have changed his attitude
eventually toward it. And then it
may not. Anyway, when men talk
about millions from the Dukes to ed
ucation they find it hard to disso-
ciate Bishop Kilgo, long its president
and later of its directorate.

FIND DEAD BODY
OF AGED CITIZEN
pete" Auton, Living Near Boone,
Found in a Horribly Mangled Con-
dition Respected Citizen - Inter-
ment Monday.

Mr.. Peter Auton, an aged citizen
who lived alone in his humble home
within three miles of Boone, was
found dead in his yard Saturday, and
from appearances life had been ex-
tinct for some time, and the body
was thoroughly frozen.
Some hogs about the place had at
tackled the dead, and practically all
the flesh from his face, neck and
chest had been torn away-in fact
he was mutilated beyond recognition.
He was not seen alive after We'd
nesday evening, when some girls
went to his home to buy some ap-
pies. He closed his door and went
with them to the barn to get the
fruit. They paid him 25 cents and
that was the only money found on his
person. He was undoubtedly stricken
down on his return, death probably
having been sudden
"Pete", as he was familiarly
known, was about 80 years old and
the county never had more hon
est upright citizen than he. Honest
to cent, possessing lot of native
ability, he was respected by all.
The remains were inferred in the
Winkler burying ground Monday.
