A BUSY SPRING FOR PULLMANS ^Vith Two or Three National Party Conventions on Hand in Addition to Usual Meets of Mystics and Frats. By J. C. ROTU5. CmhW IU?. I* Tk. AMM. New York. March 28 ? The 7.770 Pullman sleeping cars now In aervlc, can expect a rougher ride this spring and summer than the horses of a wild west rodeo. In addition to thej two great political conventions which will involve travel on the part of hundreds of thousands of people, the meeting of the Federation of. Women's Clubs, the Shrlners. Elks.! Rotarlans and other commercial and social bodies will entail a demand for transportation facilities which isj expected to exceed any previous ? year. Besides the delegates to the con ventions, an unusual crop of tourists Is expected. Railroad officials say that the slogan "see America first" 1 has at last taken a real hold on the people of the nation. The national j parks undoubtedly will draw a larg er number of pilgrims than ever be-1 fore, and the "Dude" wranglers of the^ West are perfecting organiza tions and laying in enormous equip j ment to take travelers off the beat-! en paths. Ralph Rudd, president of the! Great Northern Railway, announced that his road will run special auto-1 mobile -trains?_this year to transport; motor cars" from the East so that vis-. Itors who desire to drive through thej Glacier National Park may do so without driving all the way. "Pres ent indications point to a greatly In creased amount of travel to the park this summer," he said today. "Anil there w^re 100 per cent more visit ors in 1923 than in 1922." "One of the outstanding features i in American passenger traffic." de-1 olared Vice President I. M. Allen of the Rock Island lines today "ha?* been the increase in travel to Cali fornia. Formerly travel on our line:* wa* subject to seasonal ups and downs but people have learned that OLD FOLKS?YOUNG FOLKS? f?t- (t?lki and thin?coma try the kum %?i,h the in. \\* 't's Hour sGu?x kerberry Chew ing <?um. Say i " Check - chock - Uieckirherr;'! ' state Is attractive In summer as well as Id winter." The railway executives admit the faithful flivver loaded with every thing from pickles to mattresses, has l become a not insignificant competi tor of their roads, especially for the shorter trips. In this connection W. H. Simpson, assistant general pass enger agent of the Santa Fe. said: "Auto travel is heavy and It is here to stay, especially in summer seasons. It is a problem to be met but at present we are not worrying much. While long trips are made by many motorists, we find that they are usually content to make the trip but once. Often an automobile driv en to California returns home in a box car." Railroad officials say that the tre mendous expenditures made In late months for new equipment and those now planned will enable them to meet all requirements, and that the supply of Pullmans Includes a surplus sufficient to care for the heavy demands in June. Railroads now in financial difficul ties are being pushed under the nose of Henry Ford. The automobile manufacturer is declared by W. T. Kemper, receiver of the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railroad, to he the most logical man to purchase that property when it Is offered for sale at Wichita Thursday. He said that while no direct effort had been made to Interest the manufacturer, Ford and his associates had put half a million Into the road in 1902 and that by purchasing it now. they could make the road pay after Im provements which he estimated at $33,000,000 had made It a united system. . Officials of the Atlanta, Dlrmln|g ham and Atlantic Railroad disclaim any negotiations with Mr. Ford tor Gelfand's Relish and Mayonnaise at all ftood grocers. "Make Old Furniture New" All kinds of Furniture re flnUhed nt a very low cost. All work guaranteed. J. S. HALE At E. J. Cohoon & Co.

Fear , ing a faulty title to the lot upon ! which he had erected his home, Tom Powell, with the assistance of a large number of friends moved his ? house during the night from the lot ion which it was located to one Just across the road of which title he was . sure as to it sclarlty.

Unusual low price on wheat middling. See us be fore you buy. Aydlett & Owens clear. It developed later that J. T. i Nichols had obtained a judgment against the former owner of the lot which complicated matters to some extent. Mr. Powell solicited the aid of about 100 friends and on the next I morning the members of his house i hold went about the preparation of ; the morning meal as though noth I ing had happened.
