INCREASED FREIGHT RATES

The railroads o f this country, like all other enterpris

for everything they use than in normal times, but the cost
o f transportation remains the same. Railroad rates are

It is astonishing how few o f the country newspapers
published the local subscriptions to the Liberty Loan
Bonds. Whether it was to-Jack o f enterprise, innate
timidity, or some other equally poor reason, thè fact re
mains that the local papers overlooked the biggest piece of
local news o f the year. The local people who bought
Liberty Bonds did a patriotic act, and the time will come
when they will be proud to ‘ ‘admit” that they individually
and collectively assisted the government to the extent o f
their ability.
