The Santa Fe railroad has under order 1,200 refrigerators for this year's fruit trade, and the Northwestern Refrigerator line has Just ordered 1,000 of the same class cars for the 1920 business. Since last November, western railroads have ordered 12,000 freight cars for this year's crop movement. One thousand of these went to the Union Pacific, 1,000 to the Burlington, 1,600 to the Southern Pacific, 2.500 to the Missouri Pacific, 1,000 to the Northern Pacific, 1,700 to the Frisco route, 1,000 to the Banta Fe, 600 to the Soo line, 2,000 to the Wabash, and the remainder to scattering lines. For the 1926 trade there have been so far ordered by western railroads 1,000 gondola cars, 500 hoppers, 250 stock cars and 500 general-service cars. In the way of motive power, the western railroads have ordered 155 locomotives of various types for use Eagle Badges Aw; j IB Hi 'W Sir Robert S. S.

J HOW TO FELY IN SUMMER clared President Seott. "A great many, probably a majority of child accidents, are due wholly or In part to the thoughtlessness or Ignorance of the child. To stop these accidents we must not only have law enactment and enforcement and more careful driving on the part of motorists but we must also Instruct the children?not simply tell them to 'be careful' but make them understand the hazards of modern life and how to avoid them. An edncatlonal campaign of this kind will be conducted by our 65 affiliated community safety councils whose officers will stage special meetings for both parents and teachers, deliver appropriate radio talks and circulate timely literature. "During the present school term millions of children have been receiving safety instruction in both parochial and public schools. We are gotag to continue this kind of work dur uils year. The Missouri Pacific leads the list with 55. The Union Pacific has designed and Is having built ten huge three-cylinder locomotives, each more than 100 feet long and capable of hauling a train of 100 loaded cars across the mountains from Cheyenne to Ogden at a rate of 50 miles an hour. This big "Union Pacific type" Is the biggest departure In locomotives In 25 years. The remaining locomotlves'Nqf the 155 ordered are divided between a number of lines. The Nebraska wheat crop alone will fill 1,000 trains of 50 cars each, with each car loaded with 1,200 bushels, while the Nebraska corn crop will load 2,600 trains of 50 cars each, 1,500 bushels to the 0*r. Prospects now are that every one of the freight cars the western railroads have ordered will be filled time after time bv these western farmers when their 1928 wheat, corn, oats, live stock, potatoes, fruit, sugar beats and other farm products get under way to market, and will be filled time and time again on the return with automobiles, agricultural implements, furniture and clothing, and with the thousand and one things the West has to buy from "farther East." Dying Artist Gives Picture as Wedding Gift Los Angeles, Cal.?Municipal Judge Wood received a bequest from Ivan KalmykofT, dead Russian artist, in lieu of a marriage fee. It was one of KalmykofT's paintings, now worth, It is said, several times the amount usually paid for such service. About a year ago, KalmykofT and his fiancee appeared before Justice Wood, and explained they wished to wed, but that every cent was needed for other expenses. . I "Never mind," said Justice Wood. "I'll marry you, anyhow." Departing, KalmykofT assured the magistrate he would repay him in some way, some time, but it was not until recently that Judge Wood heard from him again. Sigmund S'renco, an attorney, appeared In Justice Wood's chambers with the painting and said it was Kalmykoff's dying request that the picture be presented to the Jurist. "He was getting a reputation rap idly when he passed away," said S'ren co, "and the prices of his work now are advancing at a rapid rate. The small painting could have been sold for about $25 at the time of his death, and If you wish to dispose of It now you will get more." Judge Wood hung It on the wall of his chambers.

IT WAS A 1 MATTER OF RELATIONS By DONA REED (A 1111, Vutwa nbwapapbr UbIob.) ((TTT TKLLT" questioned Reba, \ Y / u Sadie opened the door Yy of the top-floor back that the shared with her sister. Sadie dropped on the iron bed and .wearily threw her hat on the trunk. "The judge said IX I don't marry Morris by June 25 I got to give him back the ring," she reported listlessly. "He did, did he!" raged Reba. "Don't let him scare you. You can get married when you feel like It! A' flne feller, Morris Is, bringing you to court!" Sadie's dark eyes flashed. "Morris la all right," she asserted stoutly. "I don't blame hi? for getting tired of waiting." | Reba looked at her anxiously. "You ain't thinking of marrying him yet, Sadie? You know how It'll look If you get married first?like nobody wants me. Mr. Mandel won't want me then, neither." She suddenly burst Into tears. "Nobody?does? want?me!" Sadie went over to her sister, patted her hands and kissed her. "There, now, what're you crying for? You know I wouldn't get married before you do. And you're craxy when you talk that way. Twice I saw Mr. Mendel today and he asked for you both times. I think maybe he wants to take you out again this Sunday." Reba smiled through her tears and blushed faintly. Mr. Mendel owned a gents' furnishing store and appeared rather Interested In the elder Miss Welsman. It was three years since Mr. Mendel and Reba went out for the first time, yet his Interest never seemed to rise to the proper pitch. Sometimes Reba would note an unusual friendliness in his manner, but after these occasions, he did not appear again for three weeks, evidently hoping that la the Interval, Reba would forget his rash cordiality. She never forgot, but these Intervals of silence served their purpose and killed any flaring hopes she may have en tert ?ine<3. Sadie wis disgusted with Mr. Mendel's noneommttal attitude. Although Morris did not know anything about K, Sadie and Morris ware waiting upon Mr. Mendal. Sadie often raged at him In secret. She hated the twoby-four furnished room which she and Reba aha red. She hated the dingy office where she kept the books. She wanted to marry Morris and keep house for him and darn his socks, bat she daren't let klm know how she felt ?all because of that cheap-skate, Mr. Mendel, who was afraid to get married! Jane 24 arrived and Mr. Mendel hadn't proposed. That evening, Sadie and Morris walked disconsolately through the park, oblivious of the new moon that hone through the swaying trees, oblivious of the soft breece that played through their hair. The light of an electric lamp caught the light of the diamond on Sadie's finger and kindled a thousand small fires, as she absentmindedly moved the ring back and forth with her thumb. Morris frowned and drew her down on a bench beside him. "8adle," he said desperately, "you waited until the last day, but you'll marry me tomorrow, won't you. My boss said he'd let me have a week for a honeymoon whenever I wanted It, and Reba could look for a flat for us while we're away!" He was ao eager and so dear to her that way that she brushed a light kiss on his cheek. He kissed her hungrily and she broke away, her voice tremulous. "No, Morris. When I get married I'll pick my own nai. 1 etui i i marry you yet. You might as well take the ring tonight." She slipped it off and put It in his hand while she strove to keep back the tears. "No, no," he said, his voice broken. "You keep It Sadle-glrl. What'll I do with It? Even If you don't want to marry me?" "I do! I do 1" She covered her face with her hands and cried bitterly on Morris' shoulder. "Tou want to marry me and yet you won't marry me. If you wanted to, you would I" "No, I can't," she sobered. "How many times must I tell you I can't get married before Reha I She's been too good. She kept house for papa. She brought me up. It would hurt her if I got married first, and it wouldn't be right" "But Sadie, suppose she don't ever get married I" he said, falling back upon an old argument. "Oh, she will. If Mr. Mendel wasn't so stupid, ha'd see what a good Wife she'd make." "Mr. Mendel?" This was the first time Sadie had Intimated that Reba was looking upon Mr. Mendel as a possible husband. Morris had encountered him on two occasions when he Blind Keenly Feel The most trying part of being blind ?stone-blind, as it is popularly called ?Is the complete and Irremediable sense of Isolation.

"How should I know! For three years new he takes bet to the 'movies' and, looks at her as if he wanted to ask her something, bat don't He makes me sick1" "The poor flsh!" exclaimed Morris, catching her indignation. "Sadle-glrl, I'm going to find out what's the matter with him1" "You better not Morris. Thafs why I didn't tell you before. You might make a botch of It and then he won't marry her at all." "Sadie, I ask you, did I ever make a botch of anything T" he boasted. "You leave It to me." Sadie smiled wanly and dried her eyes. "Just the same, you better keep j the ring yet" Morris determined to have It out with Mr. Mendel right away. He was in a high state of Indignation when If. 1/ar<1a1'o h,,V,?r,lontn.? ac cuicicu U11. 1UCUUC1 a uawciuaouci/ the next evening. When Mr. Mendel recognized him he exclaimed Jocularly. "At last he comes to buy his wedding outfit 1" and came out from behind the counter to greet him. "I didn't come to buy anything," re-, piled Morris, Ignoring Mr. Mendel's outstretched hand. "I came to find out when you're going to buy your wedding outfit" Mr. Mendel thought at first that I Morris was being funny but, no; there was no Joke In his scowl or the angry look In his eyes. The smile on Mr. Mendel's face faded. "IT Why, I ain't engaged!" he cried. "Oh. you're not," retorted Morris. "Well, Isn't It about time you were? Are you going to marry Reba Weinman or aren't you?" "What business Is It of yours? What right have you to come and make this racket In my store? Tou get out I I don't see you marrying that good-fornothing kid slater of hers." "That what?" shouted Morris. "That good-for?" Before he knew exactly what had happened, Mr. Mendel received a crashing blow under the chin?a blow that sent him sprawling. Sputtering | with anger, he picked himself up and started towards Morris who caught hold of his wrists In a vlse-Uke grip. "Tou apologise," commanded Morris. Mr. Mendel hastily considered his chances of beating Morris In a fight, felt the soreness of his Jaw and doomed It expedient to do as he was , bid. "I didn't mean nothing," be argued. "Sadie's all right, only she makes me mad. If It wasn't for her, I'd have married Reba long ago." "What haa Sadie got to do with 70a marrying Reba?" "Do 70a think ril have Reba fusslng over that slater of hers In m7 house? My wife should fuss over me. I don't want no relations a.ound. I wait and wait for Sadie to get married but she don't know what she wants?that girl." Morris suddenly dropped Into a chair and doubled up with laughter. "Why do you laugh, you big fool, you?" Mr. Mendel Immediately regretted losing hla temper. He edged away> expecting to receive another crashing blow, bnt Morris merely continued to roar. "Ton wont marry Reba because of 1 Sadie," he cried, "and Sadie wont j marry me because of y?she doesnt want to leave Reba 1 Tou blame me j for laughing?" "Tou mean to say that If I marry Reba, Sadie will marry you right away and won't Uve with us?" "Of course?you big fool, you I" and Morris laughed again?this time with the Joy of realizing It Mr. Mendel grabbed his hat Tou stay In the store, huh, till I go over and see Reba." He daahed out without waiting for an answer. Morris went to the door and watched him running down the street?one hand upraised to hold on hla hat, the other nursing his Injured Jaw.
