almost the undivided attention

pie." said Mr. Wiggins. "Tho

natu 0110 town from the other

out tho northwest shows many

In one place less than one-
fourth of a perishable crop has
been shipped thus fur.
"What's more," ho continued,
"tho railroads can't get a new
engine or car before 1919 be-
causn they ure all being made
for tho government. Wo can't
guarantee any number of cars
hut wo can assumn one city Is
being accorded no worse treat-
meat than others."
