Moving pictures, show ing the exteut of the new industry, and the extraordinary care taken in seeing that the melons are safely transported to all portions of. Ameri ca, have been taken, and will shortly be shown all over the country. In this connection Southern Pacific officials say that the Government is assisting in experiments intended to still further encourage the industry. Nine carloads of cantaloupes were re cently sent out of Brawley. each car equipped with thermometers by which ' . - . i wiw teiiijertii.ure 01 wi various parts ! of- the car orn be read from the out- J side and each car differently con- i structed on the inside.

( Special 1 The statement given out here last spring that the inability of the rail roads to handle the country's in creased business was largely responsi ble for the high cost of living is be ing answered in a most practical way, according to Daniel Willard, chairman )Kf the Committee on Transportation of the Council of National Defense. Since war with Germany was de clared, this committee, 'through co operation . with the war board, has .nationalized the 693 railroad com panies of the country so that they operate practically as one system, thus eliminating much of the waste of dup lication. Through this unification the roads have not only been able to trans fer all troops on schedule, without interfering with civil traffic, to the entire satisfaction of the war depart ment, but they are handling at the same time, without congestion, over 3,000,000,000 more ton miles a month than a year 'ago, or an increase of 16 per cent. In -spite of this increased busi ness they have - decreased the gen eral car shortage one-third since May 1st. They have increased the prac tical supply of cars by 779,00p through heavier loading, quicker repairs, quicker handling, iby pooling ship ments at hike and seaports thus re leasing cars immediately and by uti lizing box cars' that formerly were sent to the coast empty. They have given preference to coal shipments, particularly for the government and its allies. Twenty-nine per cent more bituminous coal was handled in April this year than in same month of 1916. Second preference has been given to ore shipments which have also in creased enormously. The grain situation has also been greatly improved. There is no grain being held at any point because of a car shortage. The entire deciduous fruit crop will also 'be handled satis factorily. To further this, efforts are being made to supply cars where needed by transferring empty cars from one section to another regard less of ownership. All passenger trains not absolutely necessary are being removed from service. Such reforms as this, it is be- "3- , SUPERIORITIES which H a never-failing Electrical System .

All wiring is oversize (current flows with less resistance through big wires). And all wires are cased in flexible steel conduits. It's simple that's why it never fails.
