FREIGHT LOADRGs UP

Revenue freight loadings for
the week ended January IA showed
an increase of IL per cent over
the corresponding week in 1888.
according to the Association OF
American Railroads, but is still
1877 per cent below the same
week of 1887.
The bulk of the increase was in
miscellaneous freight and in load
ings less than carlotS, indicating
that retail merchandise was more
active than grain, lumber and
ore shipments, which compose the
large portion of railroad freight
shipments, according to experts.

he had made himself very comfort

He had been there only little
while when he heard voices. Jerry
pricked up his ears and stole to the

Those voices were in that hall! He

were the voices of Billy Mink and

At that very instant she reached
the entrance to the bedroom and
found it blocked by Jerry himself.

is mutual because both are sur

forgot all about that castle of Jerry
Muskrat's. When they finally did
think of it again the water had
dropped SO that it was quite of the
Green Meadows and they knew that
it could no longer be up in that
snug chamber Jerry had built SO far
back In the bank. It just happened
that they remembered it the very
night that Jerry got back to the

her you might have thought that
she blamed Billy because she could

AFTER 1000 YEARS

It seems that Hitler is an Empire enlarger,
like some of the medieval German emperors but
greater than any of his enlargng predecessors This
continual harpng the power and glory of medieval
Germany which Hitler has brought back is bound
to give rise to question Why did the power and
the glory of these early days depart from the German
people?
The other Great Powers have had their temporary
ups and downs in the course of centuries but in the
long account it has been OF sustained growth In
medieval times began the process that produced mod
England France, Russia Why is it that the Ger
nation had not only failed to grow since medieval
times but actually failed to hold its own? Bismarck
had to build Germany only three-quarters of
century and now Hitler has to do it again,
Can it be that the Germans can subjugate other
but cannot build lasting nation of their own?
Five hundred years ago the German sword Hitlers
followers boast carved German principalites
In Slavic lands Today the German sword and armored
tank are at it again But it not until the second
half of the nineteenth century that the Bsmarckian
Reich arose and after all only have Hitlers word
for it that his Third Reich will better than
Bsmarcks
Nazi edicts. like the settling the fate of the
Czech people all the time speaking of thousand
years Of history coming to fruiton But why should
years be now? The implication is
that Germans better at sword play than nation
building.
