rwo CREATE DIVISION OF CAR SERVICE To Deal With Distribution, Exchange and Return of Freight Cars THROUGH DIRECT nnnrr?r% nr i r? n unucno ur i. u. u. Move Urged by Both Shippers and Carriers, Who Will Co-operate. \Ya>hington.?Creation of a division of ear service to deal with tlvmovement, distribution. exchange, interchange and return of freight cais was announced today by the Interstate Commerce Commission. E. h. Degroot has been appointed chief of the division. A. G. Gutheim will have executive charge of the organisation and its operation, assisted by H. C. Harlow. Through this division the commisrien will regulate ca: service through out the country through direct orders to the carriers, with the purpose of dealing with car shortage and seeing that troops, war materials and necessary supplies are niov ed promptly. The creation of the new division which i.s the first definite government step for permanent supervision over traffic movements, is in accordance with the car service act ap proved May 29, amending the act to reflate commerce. Urge Necessity. The urgent necessity for regulation in the distribution of cars has been pointed out to the commission many times by both shippe's and carriers. Despite the efforts of th?* railroads, contain sections have suffered more than others from short- j 0?e. Shippers from the southeast iu>d the Pacific northwest recently' t'-?-d the commission that thousands of carloads of lumber and other commodities in those sections have been held for months at mills and factories, because of failure to get c> for their movement, i h be carriers have appointed local car service committee at 25 points and the national industrial traffic league has named similar bodies rep. resenting shippers at the same points. These committees will hold joint meetings to insure prompt and efficient adjustment of local problems; irreconciliable difficulties, it is (vpected, will be submitted to both the carriers' commmission and the interstate Commerce Commission's rc viee division. The new division will develop field forces quickly and probably will place agents in many of the great tiaffic centers to facilitate adjustment in local shoitages, congestions and other problems. j ? -o Recommended by !

When any of us children complained of headache, usually caused by constipation, she gave us a dose of Black-Draught, which would rectify the trouble.

Advocates of inland waterways have been hei\ for several days urging the shipping board to divert heavy bulk freight such as grain, ore and coal, from the 1 railroads to the rivers and canals, i Their plan was abetted tonight by I certain military authorities. The latter urge that the movement of troops might be conducted in far greater secrecy by river than by rail. All our ports are surrounded for the indiscriminate observation of the transfer of troops from rail to transport are almost unrestricted despite all precautions.

C.?The averageJ value of beef cattle over two years | old in ten tick-infested States? North and South Carolina, Georgia Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Loui- ^ nana, Arkansas, Oklahoma and TexiXii?was $25.90 on January 1, 1915. For the remainder of the country on that date it was $48.47. In Georgia and Florida the average price was $18, in Alabama $20, in Mississippi $22, in Louisiana $24. In every tickfree State, with the exception of Vermont and Tennessee, the average value was $40 or more and in eigh- m teen the average as over $50. i There are two reasons why cattle in a ticky country are worth lesa than in a tick-free one. They weigh less and they bring less per pound, i They bring less because they cannot be sold on the open market but must be disposed of in quarantine pens for immediate slaughter only. Kxperi I enced dealers estimate mat nuyera I offer from fifty cents to two dollars a hundred weight less for cattle from below the cjuarantince line and the jt> owner, who cannot tranship his herd v to another market or sell the animals as feeders, is in no position to stand out for a better price. Ticky cattle weigh less because ' they are scrubs to begin with and because the tick sucks the blood they need to make flesh. Experiments have shown that when the ticks are abundant they wiil take :n the course of the year 200 pounds of blood from a thousand-pound steer. They don't take it all at once, of course, but they take it nevertheless ami the steer, in order to live, has to make new blood. While lie is busy at that, \ l he is not likely to p it on much weight. Fattening ticky steers is like trying to keep a leaky barrel full; there is a lot of waste in the process. Furthermore, as all cattlemen know, there is more money in grado stock than in scrubs. Elsewhere in the country farmers, are turning their attention to grading up their i herds, to securing animals that will respond to good treatment and feed: nn the ti?*k infested sections of the* ! South this has been impossible for no one will risk bringing pure-bred bolls into a ticky county to die from Texas fever. Both directly and indirectly, there- . fore, the tick keep down the weight ' o!" southern cattle and the eradication of the pest is essential if the southern beef producer is to compete on even terms with producers elsev hero. The matter is as vital to the owner. Students of agriculture are i small farmer as to the large cattle J all agreed that the average southern | farm today has *<><> little stock upon I it for its own good. The reason is obvious. Under the conditions creat- ^ e 1 by the tick, cattle raising is not > sufficiently attractive industry to appeal to the average man. Without the tick, the business assumes a diff ercnt aspect. This has been abundant ly demonstrated in those sections pa which the tick has boon eradicated.* Almost invariably the tick's disappearance is accompanied by an ini crease in the quantity and an imi provement in the quality of the | county's live stock.
