Things you may not know
about a busy western neighbor

Southern Pacific has been part of western life for
three quarters of century. We've had share of
brickbats, and we've had share of praise Mostly
we've been taken pretty much for granted, like the
paper boy or the milkman.
Since Pearl Harbor, though, people generally have
regarded Southern Pacific and the other railroads
with new understanding and appreciation Now, when
the chips are down, they to realize how inds-
pensable the railroads really are.
The Coolidge examiner., 1944-09-15

Because of Southern Pacifc's strategic location in
relation to the against Japan, have been
called upon to carry enormous westbound burden.
In addition we are handling vast quantities of
materials and finished products of greatly expanded
western industries plus an abnormally large east
bound movement of foodstuffs.
The six facts below may help explain the unprece-
dented burden we are carrying, and why service
to civilians is not as good as we'd like it to be:

Farmers Urged
TOGrOw Grains

RALEIGH, May %. -tP)- D. S.
Coltrane, chairman of the North
Carolina Feed Conservation and
Production Committee, told dis
trict Farm Security Administra-
ton supervisors meeting here to-
day a large increase in corn pro-
duction and other feed grains was
urgently needed to meet the crit
ical shortage of feed supplies in
the state.
"In normal times" Coltrane ex-
planned, eve can import corn and
other feed grains from the middle
west but they do not have surplus
supplies at the present time and
will not have for the duration. -
Coltrane said further that feed
purchases in North Carolina in
creased from $4,000 tons in 1887
to $4,000 tons in 1943"
The supervisors laid plans for
an intensive drive for increased

$4,000 FSA borrowers. The plans
included contracting borrowers per-
sonally and arranging for supple
mental loans to enable farmers to
purchase nitrogen to increae corn
production.
Attention was called to the fact
that farmers have increased the
number of livestock, thus necessi-
tating an increase in feed grains
for the livestock.

less perfect than they imagined.
They will discover that they both
have faults which don't show up
IN letters and that trying to settle
down together and get started on
the civilian road to success isn't
all fun.
TIME TO THINK
1t may be harder work and call
for more compromises and. more

at the start-o- get to quarreling
over how they spent their time
when they were apart-they may
decide to get divorces.
But if they have to wait around
for six months before judge
will even hear their case-they'll
have time to do some thinking and
perhaps to work out their Difficult
ties, especially if they are urged to
live under the same roof until

most necessary, thing to meet our
international responsibility for a
prosperous world economy.
If we can absorb this idea, that
by successful policy of maintain
ing full employment here at home
we make our fundamental contri-
button to economic stability and
prosperity abroad-if we grasp this
idea, then all sorts of vexatious
issues will fall into their proper
perspective. Here is the real an
swer to the notion that prosperity
depends upon cutthroat competi-
ton for international markets.:
with full employment at home we
shall have no frantic desire to ex-
port furiously. Here is the real an
sWer to the notion that we can or
should restore world prosperity by
some kind of vast philanthropy: if
the American economy, which is
such an immense factor in the
world economy, is kept working
steadily at reasonably FULL capac-
ity it will set up demand for
goods which will contribute enor.
mously to prosperity almost every
where else.
There is no basic conflict be-
tween the national interests of the
American people and their inter-
national interests and duties.
There are conflicts due to short
slghtedness, to being penny wise
and pound foolish, to the pressure
of special interests that do not al
ways understand their true in
terests. These conflicts can be
overriddah because they arise not
from the nature of things but
from a lack of the knowledge
which already exists.

To Play Here
Two Nights

Identified himself as a member of
the State Department. The Ameri-
can Embassy in Mexico City had
called him in regard to a dispute
of two companies concerning their
respective rights to produce the
play. Grouse and Lindsay, believ-

shrewd move, transferred the little
international affair to Mr.. Hull.
Even now the two do not know
whether the old lace of arsenic"

it was right.
