RAILROADS ON WAR BASIS Ther la no longer any question aa to who'a running tba railroads. Whatever doubt may bave existed m tbat score bas been dispelled by Director McAdoo's blanket dismissal ( all tbe president-managers. Apparently there will still be railroad presidents; but their func tions wui oe resiricieu. me preni dent, responsible to bis directors and stockholders, will not direct the physical operation of his railroad. Tbat Important duty will be attend ed to-by some practical railroad man appointed expressly by the federal director, and responsible solely to the government he represents. The thing almedt is, of course, greater centralization and efficiency. Most of the president-managers, no doubt, have cooperated loyally with the government But some of them have failed to do so, and the easiest way out of the difficulty seemed to e a general clearance and recon struction. The presidents with ex eeptlonal managerial ability will be appointed to run their lines. If they will give op their other duties. Oth erwise other men, the best obtain able, taken from their own organiza tions If possible, will replace them Tbe general result seems certain to be good. Tbe railroads have been mined, are rapidly being systema- tlied, and are going to be run with an Iron band for the national bene fit, though without Injustice to their owners. They will goon be on a war -tests. THE FOOD-PRICE SAVING Most of us, by this time, feel In a general way that food control by the federal government has saved us money, but we're rather hazy about particulars. A diagram prepared by a statistician of the food administra tion makes the whole matter plain and simple. There's a "consumer's price in dex" curve which bas been going down .pretty steadily ever since con gress passed the food control law last August. There's a "producer's price indent" curve which has been going up pretty steadily during the same period. In March, when the last complete checking up was done, it was found that the whole range of food pro ducts In this country, In price paid by the consumer, had dropped on an arerage of 14 per cent; and the price paid to tba producer for the same products had risen on an aver age of 15 per cent. Thus the producer and consumer, between them, were 39 per rent bet ter off. That Ji per cent saving waa effected for the most part by elimi nating middlemen's profits and shortening tbe route from producer to consumer. Incidentally the producers have been disabused of the Idea that food control was aimed against them. It haa benefitted them more than any body else, aa tbe figures plainly show. "Gradually our language is simpli fied." writes Col. Watterson of the Louisville Courier-Journal. "The chauffeur becomes a driver, the avi ator becomes an airman, the hydro aeroplane becomes a seaplane, and nobody's ashamed to use English In ordering a small cup of coffee." And some day well even discover that there's an English word for camouflage. CARING FOR CHINESE It la reported that fully 200.000 Chinese laborers are In France, building railroads and working be hind the lines. Tbe Y. M. C. A. bas established huts for them. The following statement will show what waa raised for the Armenian fund by . Josephine county and Grants Pass. In most Instances the report shows but one name, while the solicitors went by twos. Any money sent In after this date will be shown In a supplemental re port when tbe auditors make their report. Grants rase Mrs. W. M. Trimble, $4.50; Mrs. A. B. Orme. II; Oeo. Riddle, 140; Rev. M. T.

The above Is the amount recelvsd except some small amounts which were sent In later and Is Included In the miscellaneous item. I was somewhat disappointed In the amount raised In Josephine coun ty. The solicitors found those In very moderate circumstances mare ready to give as a rule than those who were blessed with an abundance. But the need Is Just as great and urgent now as ever, and those whose hearts have not been touched by the awful suffering of those Armenians, snd have given but a pittance, still have an opportunity to give. Bend your donations to F. If. Christie, treasurer, and It will be uaed Im mediately to "save lives, I want to thank the solicitors, teachers and all others who helped to raise this Armenian fund.
