PAULINE FREDERICK, THOMAS
MEIGHAN AND FATTY AR
BUCKLE ON SAME BILL ,
AT ARCADE TOMORROW
Beautiful Pauline Frederick is the
star of the Famous Plnycrs-Para-mount
production, "Sleeping Fires,"
by George Middleton, which is the
featured attraction at Arcndo thea
tre for tomorrow and Saturday, In
this intonscly gripping photoplay Miss
Frederick is Mrs. Bryce, devoted wife
cellent example of the "team work"
of these two who have proven their
ability many times before.
A woman whose religion prevents
her from accepting a divorce, and
whose intense affection for her little
son, known in the picture as "The
Little Fellow," is the beautiful Zelma
Bryce. Her unprincipled husband,
Edward Bryce, is in love with his
young secretary, Helen King, nnd
willing to sacrifice all to marry her.
They plan to influence Mrs. Bryce
through "The Little Fellow" and a
relentless nurse is hired to guard him
nnd keep him away from his mother.
Tho hitter, desperate, strives to for
get all in plunging desperately into
the limited pleasures possible to her
under tho circumstances nnd also
The Railroad Dollar of Today Has
Purchasing Power of Less man
Half It Purchased Five Years Ago,
Declares W. Bollons.
That an increase in freight Tates is
more than justified by the increased
cost which the O.-W. R. & N. is
subjected because of war conditions is
declared by William Bollons,' division
superintendent..
"The cost of every commodity
which enters into railroad operation
has increased," saya Mr. Bollons. "The
railroad dollar of today has a pur
chasing oower of less than half it
Possessed five years ago. Transported
tion, the only commodity that the
railroad has for sale, remains at the
same price that it was before the in
creased cost of the article bought now
was in effect."
"To meet present conditions, the
railroads must increase their capacity
for delivery. This need must be met,
no matter what the cost The Union
Pacific System expended during 1916
and for early delivery during 1916 and
for early delivery dunng 1917, $12,
426, 687 for freight cars and $5,526,
618 for locomotives. This outlay of
nearly eighteen millions of dollars
was made necessary to meet the
growing traffic along the system lines.
"The individual knows the increas
ed cost of filling the family market
basket. The shipper realizes that
rates have advanced, for ho confronts
a risen market ana an eniargea pay
roll. The railroads do not differ from
the individual or the corporation buy
er in the matter of outlay, but there
is a very material difference when the
Question of the raising of revenue
arises.
"The merchant or the manufacturer
adds to his selling price the amount
to pay. Not so with the railroads
of the increase that he is compelled
I Their rates are fixed by federal and
state commissions, and any mcreasa
must come with the authority of these
regulatory bodies. Application has

crease- in rates, which, while it will
not meet the deficit by fully forty per
cent, brought about by the advance in
, the cost of what the railroads have to
purchase, will afford certain relief and
