CREATE DIVISION
OF CAR SERVICE
To Deal With Distribution,
Exchange and Return of
Freight Cars

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

According to an official statemen
recently made public, freight car
shortage in the United States during
the month of May was reduced fron
148,027 to 105,127, or nearly one
third. This remarkable improvement
in the transposition situation was
not brought about by any increase i*
the number of cars, or by any fall in
off in the volume of freight handle*'
but was attributable to the more ex
prditious handling of equipment am
to the substitution of concert of action
for competition by the railways

of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact,
it was one of our family medicines.
Also in my mother's home, when I
was a child. 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. Often in the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chills, or troubles of this kind, we
would take Black-Draught pretty reg ito.

we would soon bo up and around

Thedford'a Black-Draught has been
In use for many years In the treatment
of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which It
now enjoys Is proof of its merit
If your liver is not doing Its duty,
you will suffer from such disagreeable
symptoms as headache, biliousness,
constipation, Indigestion, etc.,
and unless something Is done, serious
trouble may result.
TUedford's Black-Draught has been
found a valuable remedy for theso
troubles. It Is purely vegetable, and
acts in a prompt and natural way,
regulating the liver to Its proper
functions and cleansing the bowels of

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
ABOUT CATTLE TICKS
Comparison of Prices in Tick
Infested Regions and
Others.
Washington, D. 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. H
