freight, cars, the greatest shortage in history.
How the freight car owners, and the freight car. risers,
by eo-op nation can make enough cars for the government
and everyfdy is shown in an appeal jciAt issued by C, J.
McfJowdd, assistant to the ehairmafi of the Western fJe
partfuent of the Railroads' War Roard. .McDonald points
ovt that the trouble does not lie in the non-existence of
enough ears, hut that the maximum use of each car is not
obtained. Just what co-operation in freight car conserva
tion means is shown here;
An increase of two tons per loaded car would be equiva
lent U adding over 200,000 cars to the number available
for public use.
There are about from 2.V),000 to ,':00XK) foints in the
V. H, where freight, is received and delivered. It is esti-
mated that quicker loading ana nnioanirig wouia increase
the number of available cars by ril";,0fX).
T'rtsre are 2V,(M) freight cars in this country of which
about fi"t per cent are normally under repair. The rail
road are trying hard to reduce this percentage to t, which
would release, of,()00 cars for active service.
Now, if the public will co-operate with the railroads in
loading cars to their full permissable capacity and in re
leasing equipment promptly, maximum efficiency will be
secured and the problem solved.
Ask for only the cars you need arid when you need thern;
use fully, load promptly; release quickly.
New cars arc being built but the volume of the nation's
busineps is being built faster, wherefore avoidance of car
wastage is as important as avoidance of food wastage.
The time may even come, and come quickly, when our

the story of a strong man who single-handed wrested suc
cess from the world. Jack London, of course, always
dealt with rough, primitive characters. But after all
these are the men that men admire. And women admire
them, too, although they often profess to like the sissy
kind of men, and frequently have them dangling on their
apron ftririg. Rut women perhaps even more tnan men,
admire the. man who can strike a heavy blow, who is some
times coarse and brutal. The explanation of this goes back
to the cave men's days when women surrendered to the
stroi". not to the perfumed dandies. Jack London saw
perhaps more clearl v than many auxnora ine iaci ma, mc
i.ftth. that rnr-n'triimr fif?ht. to L'ct ahead, that business
of the present day is frequently ruthless even to the ex
tent of "unlimited submarining" of competitors; that the
struggle of the survival of the fittest in modern life is
frcoiientlv the survival or the cruel and crauy, tne sieat-
thy and the cunning. Jack Ixndon did not preach trie
doctrine of altruism. He did not preach any definite
philosophy. He had a contempt, for the people who are
exploited by the trusts. He makes his hero a money grab -hf.p
flir ficlifa ni thlesslv and exnloits everv one, finally
aeon ires tldrtv millions, and then in a sudden revulsion of
feeling throws it all away to retire with im nnae to ine
rn a Mecliided farm, where he won happiness. Rut even
there he found that he had the same perpetual battle for
existence, this time with nature and manv forms of preda
tory life, Shakespeare savs, "Rubble, bubble, .toil, and
trouble," mavhe tins is the universal law or me.

"Knowledge Is Power," and It Applies Especially to Farming.
Representatives of Washington Rtntc College say that residents of rural
communities are little inclined to become interested in profitable agri
cultural reading. During a certain part of the year tho farmer finds him
self too busy to read. Yet there are other seasons when he has time to do
more lending than could the average man. .
If a farmer is interested in a certnin crop type of building, or any ;
agricultural problem, he can spend his time profitably reading up on tho
subject. The most Important point, however, is that he must keep himself ;
Informed so that ho may intelligently Judge tho situation.
