Twenty-two thous and dollars worth of borings and" turn lng-a from machine tools were collected and sold In 1917 by Edmund Burke, ma terial sales agent for the eompany. The fact that a minor waste product of the shops runs Into so much money shows . now vast are the operations of the rail-. - road in Its war program of ear aad en v glne construction. These are but a email item In the total that the Southern Pa- . clflo reclaims from waste material in a year. In 191T, the sum thus saved amounted to more than a million dol- lare. Under General Storekeeper JE. O. ¬ Cook, the store department is eon-- etantly at work collecting worn out arti- "' dee from all over the Paolf to system and assembling them - at convenient , points. Here they are sorted ever, some v to be redistributed, some to be worked ovVr into other forme and others to be sold as scrap. In time of war economy this sort not only saves money for the company, but also eaeee up the demand on the general market and releases that -much new material for other- Industries. The railroad considers nothing too small to reclaim. Old boiler flues, for exam- . pie, are made intoe locomotive pilots, or era flattened and bent into angle Iron, -or cut into washers. Exhausted dry calls are stripped of their brass fittings and the carbon la them makes aa elec trode for electric welding. Station agents . send la scrap car seals so that the lead can be recovered from them, Section foremen pick up the lead "scraps from - exploded torpedoes for the same . pur pose. Old and greasy waste is treated In a steam vat and separator which not only yields back the servloeabla fabric but also reclaims the oil for warehouse trucks, handcars, etc Even - the old brooms are turned In. Section fore- ' men can use the - stubs for cleaning switches and the handles are made Into . bales for luckets. Big Xaereaee la Cre Yalaes The . value of farm products of the United States for the year HIT reaches the tremendous and unprecedented sum of $19,443,849,000, an Increase of more than six billion over the values of 1911 and . almost nine billion more than 1911. The department of agriculture has Just is sued a preliminary estimate for . last . year showing crop values of $11,110. 483,000, representing TO per eent of the value of all farm products for the rear, . and $8,133,381,000. the value of animals and animal products of our farms. By far the greatest and best customers of the farmers of the country now are the United Statee and our allies. The money used by all of these governments In purchasing the products of American farms is raised by the sale of Liberty bonds. Part is spent by the United Statea Itself and part loan to our allies. In lending to the United States, there . fore, the American farmer is simply en abling Its best customers to purchase his products and receiving br return the beet security In the world. Good bust . ness aa well as patriotism urges tag farmers of America to liberally support the financial undertakings of the government. Snyder, pastor of the church, paid a glowing - tribute to the boys who have gone to serve-the flag.
