"The eaienca of thle program la to

"There Is reaaon to believe that tha

hind the sudden awing of tha centrum
to co-operation with tha socialists and

in th way of peace on the basis of

desire to retain Mt. Lovchen and tha

"Though the spectacular attacks on
Ertberger and the centrum on tha

A CHANCE FOR SOME MISSION-

It seems to me, thinking th mat.
tar over, that w farmers hva not
been duly appreciative of some of the
efforts made in our behalf. We have
been content to take without giving in
too many instances. There is the mat
ter of advice for example; we have
Just bejn going about taking advice
by tha cartld from everybody in
general And glvins; practically none In
return.
This is not ri-rhi. It Is tlon far us

oonld be distributed where needed. It
Is not distributed because of a scarcity
of freight cars. Ther la a scarcity
of fretgrht cars simply because the
trafflo managers of th railroads- have
not yet learned how to keep freight
cars- moving. Th average v freight
car is said to spend mora tim stand
ing on th siding than moving from
place to place. It haa been made a
warehouse rather than a vehicle of
tronsnortatlon. In tha course of a
year its actual traveling speed per
hour is Just about that of a fast
vralklng horse.
The railroad men hare been clam
oring for higher freight rates so that
the couia get more money to ouy
more freight cars, but they are let
tins; the cars they have loaf half their
time. If the farmer was as much a
slacker as the freight car, ther would
be aura enough trouble.
It ia time for us farmer to Co
something. We should at onoe eend
experts" to ten the trafflo men of
the railroads how to get more 'ser
vice out of their frelghttcars, how to
speed uo their distribution of rood
products. It would be but a fit return
for all they have don for us.
So i herewith offer my services,
at any reasonable salary, to any or
ganisation of farmers that feel dis
posed to repay tna rood novice tne
rallrodas have been so freely offering
farmers for the past tew years. I do
not claim to know exactly what these
trafflo managers ahould do to help
things; but that need be no draw
back. I know that something ought
to bo dona, and that is about tha x
ent of the knowledge possessed by
some of the "experts" they have turn
ed loose on Us.
