WE GRIND OUR OWN LENSES Phone H7J BABSON PREDICTS HUGE FREIGHT AR STORTAGE Wollealoy Hills, Mass., July 15, 1922 During the past week Roger W. Babson has been in New ork in consultation with important railway interests. He has returned bellovlng that a freight car shortage is In evitable this fall, rind everything possible should ho done to prevent it. Concerning the same Mr. Babson states as follews: "There are various events which Indicate a serious congestion of tho freight this fall. First, there Is a real shortage of equipment in good condition. , Thruout the war the equipment of most railroads was al lowed to run down. Little was dona to repair this equipment until this year. During the past few months railroads have been-endeavoring to do five years repair work in one. As a result a groat many frieght "Cars are either in the process of being repaired or are waiting to bo re paired. In either case they are out of service. It is true that many of these cars will be back in service by winter but they will not be avallablo by fall. This means that there are fewer cars available today to haul freight than are usually available. "Usually the railroads haul their coal during the spring and summer. The winter supply is usually deliver ed by .the railroads during the summer, months. Thus far this year very little coal has been hauled. Only Immediate needs have been taken care of. Yet only two more months remain before people will bo starting their furance fires. On tho assumption that the miners will soon bo back to work this means that tho railroads will bo deluged with coal during tho remainder of tho1 year. Every available car cap able of hauling coal will bo pressed Into service and tho coal tonnage sould be very heavy. "Tho outlook today is for good crops this fall. At prevailing prices tho farmers will want to sell their grain and move It at once. This means" that tho railway will bo called upon to move a tremendous amount of grain while they, are attempting to move the coal. There are factors which lead on to believe that manu facturing as a wholo will be more active this fall than It has been at any time this year. Fundamental statistics Indicate that the low point in business will bo reached this sum mer. Thus the railroads will be taxed by hauling raw materials in general and manufactured products af all sorts." Mr. Bason was then asked what effort such a congestion would have upon commodity prices and secur ities. To this he replied as follews: "Freight car congestion inovltably loads to higher prices. This Is only natural as prices are determined, not by costs, but by supply and de mand. "If a city naturally uses 30 car loads of potatoes a day, any day FOR REAL ECONOMY In the Kitchen USE CALUMET The Economy BAKING POWDER A Big Time and Money Saver SIISESrSSs OT Witt IT TMK1 mm "O" SujjisaiC When you bake with Calumet you know there will be no loss or failures. That's why it ' is far less expensive .than some other brands selling for less. BEST HY TEST Don't be led into taking Quantity for Quality Calumet proved best by test in millions of Bake-Day contests. Largest selling brand in the world. Contains only such ingredi ents as have been approved by U. S. Pure Food Authorities. The World's Greatest Baking Powder that there is a shortage of only two or three caw, the prico of all tho potatoes In that city goes up. An other iday when there is a surplus of only two cars, tho price of all the potatoes goes down. Price is not determined by tho total quantity of a product produced or consumed, but rather by that small percentage of surplus or shortage. A freight congestion this fall would inevitably lead to a shortago in certain raw materials and merchandise in home localities. As a result these com modities will temporarily strength en in price at these points. Such a result is inevitable. "Strengthening commodity prices are often although not always proceeded by strengthening security prices. The stock market usually discounts rises in the commodity market. Thus a congestion of frieght might mean both advancing com modity and security prices. Further more, in the case of a freight con gestion, the railways should tem porarily, at least, show very hand some earnings. Already the rail ways are showing very good earn ings owing to the high rates and re duced operating expenses, notwith standing thefact that they are haul ing very llttlo freight. If the time comes when tho railroads will carry 100 per cent capacity these earnings should be very large. Large rail road earnings should tend for higher prices for railroad securities. A word to tho wise Is sufficient." General business according to the index figure of the Babsonchart stands at 17 per cent below normal, tho same as last week. FRUITLAND BENCH I Macklnsoii-Kinsey , One of tho large weddings of. Frultland occured Saturday aftor- noou at four o'clock when Miss Marian Kinsey, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. M.
