with thousands of men unemployed in one part of the conn

At present coal ears are heiiti; used to haul munitions
and oilier war goods to seaboard, while the people suffer
for lack of coal. With private ownership, railroads send
ears where, they will earn most. IJttt the interstate com
merce commission is impotent, to direct the shipments. It
can onlv protest, and so far it has not even done this.
Millions of bushels of wheat are being held in terminal
elevators by speculators to boost the price. No govern
ment official hits power to make it move.
Thousands of harvest hands are slowly drifting back
east on the "bumpers" and in "side-door I'ullmans," when
they should be hurried back to the mines and factories in
special passenger trains. '
This same situation occurs every year in more or less
aggravated form. And this artificial shortage fixes the
nation's prices for its winter supplies. Whether or not
this shortage is intentional, it lias the effect of creating
an annual monopoly of food and coal in the hands of a few
speculators. This lnonopolv is onlv temporarv, but it is
sufficient to enable theiii to collect tribute of hundreds of
millions from the people.

force at the end of the harvest season.

oon found, however, that the many

ler the club's first presidcnl, Jlrs. L.

then followed, of improving and

of the library was iu the city hall.
Through the indefatigable and faith
ful work of .Mrs. It. Theiss, Jlrs.
K. Merrick, .Mrs. II. ('. Stoddard,
.Mrs. Vawter, .Mrs. Kay and many oth

present Carnegie library was finally
secured ns the culmination of years
of devotion and hard work.

Ill these early days of determined
purpose and grciit ambilions, each
member was an earnest worker, and
Imd identified with every under-
