HEAVIER RAILS NOW
BOUGHT BY ROADS
INCREASED WEIGHT OF RAIL
NEEDED TO SUPPORT HEAV-
TER TRAFFIC.

Atlanta, Ga.-The rail is catching
up with the locomotive. Railroads
are buying heavier rails to support
heavier traffic.
Orders placed within the past few
weeks, railway executives announced
here today, show an increasing num-
Der Of carriers calling for rail with
weight of 100 and 1876 pounds a
yard compared with the 100-pound
weight in common use on some Of
the larger roads prior to the resump-
ton of private control and to 80 and
80 pounds on the roads of lighter
traffic.
These orders follow closely an an
nouncement that the production of
rails of 100 pounds or over last year
established a new record for all time.
Behind the increased Weight of the
rail lies, Atlanta railway executives
state, the realization by railroad
managers of the Importance of more
efficient transportation, which has
been the driving force as we'll in the
building of more powerful locomo-
tives and freight cars of greater ca

commerce, which requires the con-
struction of heavier equipment, adds
equally to the railroads responsible
ty Of keeping the track in harmony
with the new conditions, it is stated
here.
Continuous Increase In Weight.
Growth fthe weight of the rail
has been continuous since railroad
operations began, Atlanta executives
said. In 1880 rails of 33 and 35
pounds supported the first steam To-
connective. Shortly afterward they
were increased to so pounds and to
IS pounds. This weight was n
creased gradually as the need be-
came more apparent until by 1914
it had reached IS to 80 pounds which
were used to replace the lighter rail
as it wore out. On roads of very
heavy traffic weight of from 100
to 1875 pounds recently came into use
The past year, in which output was
of normal character, established the
largest output on record in the pro-
duction of rails of 100 pounds or
over, it is stated.

Delco-Light Available
For Rural Homes

Some of the greatest scientific and
engineering problems, which baffled
human ingenuity for years, in the
ind proved absurdly simple, when
approached from the proper angle.
The radio, the airplane and the au-
tomobile, in their evolution became
simpler, less costly and more ser
viceable.
Electric light and power for farms
has progressed in the same manner.
In ten years time engineers have
gone from heavy, expensive, trouble
some machinery to simple, trouble
proof, compact mechanism, many
times superior to the farm light and
power plant of half decade ago.
In presenting its newest model,
which operates without storage bat
teries, the Delco-Light Company has
marked another forward step in en-
cheering and at the same time has
made electricity available to addi-
tional hundreds Of thousands of
farmers who prefer this type of SER
vice to that previously offered. This
new model is absolutely automatic
in operation. When a light switch
is turned the plant starts running
and continues until the switch is
turned off, when, it stops immediate
ly. "Now there is Delco-Light to
fit every need and at prices to fit
every pocket book" declares E. G
Biechler, president and general man.
ager of the Delco-Light Company.
"And every plant from the smallest
automatic, non-battery plant to the
largest storage battery plant carries
the Delco-Light and General Motors
guarantee and can be purchased on
the GMAC plan of easy payments"

able here for three reasons, the
abundance of electric and water
power, the amount of contented la
Dor. and the propinquity of raw ma
terials," he declared. Cotton in the
South always has been national as
set, and it is rapidly growing more
important. Cotton grown in the
southern states supplies the manu-
facturers of the North and Europe
and clothes the world. Many promi-
nent writer's in magazines and news
papers in the North have begun to
write articles on the discovery of the
South and the trend of population is
in this direction.
Taken as a whole, the future of
the South is more brilliant than even
it has been. Developments have been
fast recently, but it is nothing as
compared with the developments that
are now to become reality"

wear for the benefit of members.
One was the Growers Finance Cor
poration which has rediscounted for
members through the Federal Inter
mediate Credit Bank loans amounting
to 81 100000 at an interest rate of
only 6a per cent.
The other was the Growers Sup
ply Company which bought several
thousand tons of fertilizer and de-
livered this to members at price
which represented a great saving to
them.
The Association handled 10000
bales of cotton last year, twice the
amount turned in during the first
year, and has, accumulated safety
surplus Of 100000.
President Conwell stated that MEM
bers are signing the new seven-year
contract readily and that already g.
900 members, who turned in $4,000
bales of cotton last year, have ex-
tended their membership.
