refrigerator ear, the grain car, the e
horse car, the livestock ear, together 1
with express ami parcel-pest sor- t
vice, have been employed by our t
farmers to deliver perishables >
across ihe continent, and also s rve c
neighborhood customers w ith choice food
specialties.
Woild Commerce Visualized.
Our merchant marine will offer '
facilities strikinirlv like those fare.il- i
iar in railroad transportation, ami in ^
thinking1 of world markets the Am- 1
erican agriculturist can visualize our *
railroads connecting with our ships *
at tidewater and taking commodities *
around the world on our own trade
routes.
There are four general types of
ocean vessel, cotv.paru.bic with American
raiboad service. The fast passenger
liner, carrying practically n>
cargo except baggage and mails, ;s
tlu equivalent of the fast limited
passenger train?these crack liners
can only find profitable traffic between
our Atlantic ports i n 1 Kurt
pe. The passenger and cargo linei
running on regular routes and
schedule; to Latin America, the
Orient, anil otlv r regions, is lik?? theregular
pas-cnger tiain, but carries
more freight. The fast cargo liner,
running on regular routes and schedules,
carrying high-class freight, corresponds
to our fast freight ser; ice
by which perishable commodities ar
shipped. And the tramp steamer
carrying freight only, chiefly bulk
commodities, like irrain. coal, cotton.
and .so on, following no regular
routes and adhering to no regular
schedule, is ti e common freight car
ol the ocean, conspicuous for numbers,
ad.aptaoility, and economy.
Good Foreign Nor*, ice Assured.
We are building ships in all these
classes and as rapidly as possible the
Lnited States Shipping Hoard will
assign them to world trade. As the
refrigerator ear has played an important
part in finding markets for
ccciduous berries, meats, dairy products,
and a wide range of farm produce,
so the refrigerator ship on the
ocean will make possible extensions
of markets. To overcome handicaps
of distance on our own continent,
.American growers have attained
high standards in grading and packing
their products, illustrated in
boxed apples, oranges, pineapples,
lemons and grapefruit. Experiments
in selling such products to Latin American
and Oriental countries have
demonstrated that American standard
goods are appreciated, and that
new trade c.an be built upon litem.
Hut heretofore there have been un
certain ocean facilities?venturesome
exporters could demon? rat'
world demand, but wo had no refrig

GERMAN STRENGTH

Pari;*.? Ait effort to ascertain th<

a nsidered by the military commission
appointed Thursday by the supreme
war council to report on the
s? rcngth of the allied and associated
foices to be retained on the Western
i ront during the armistice.
It was assumed that the Germans
now have about 500,000 men under
aims, but it is necessary to confirm
t lose figures and also to learn to
what extent the manufacture 01

supplies is going on.

a general plan to which Mr. i
Cooper is favorable.
Provisions of the act are that all ,
i
convicts shall be delivered to the su- j (

tiary. From the superintendent the i
State highway engineer would requisition
forces for the State road . j
building convict gang. Work would .

commission.
It is further provided that each
county shall receive many'days labor

Maintenance would be provided
by one mill levy on all taxable propcity
and funds with which to construct
roads would be provided by
i the creation of a "State highway
' fund" from licenses from motor vehicles.
j Another distinctly interesting feature
of the bill is that compensation
would be allowed all prisnoers for
orderly conduct, this graduated scale
increasing in proportion to the
length of the sentence. It would not
apply to life prisoners.

of tho sale of extracts, bitters and
compounds used as beverages in
substitution for liquor was introduced
in the house of representatives
last week, the authors being Hart of

The bill provides a penalty of not

throe months nor more than ono year
tor the first offense*. The second offense
would not he punishable with
the alternative fine, but would impo>e
a jail sentence of not less than
one year nor more tlv.tn two years for
each violation.
Such a measure has the earnest advocacy
of Governor Cooper and from
all sections of the State have come
r< quests to legislators for some relief
in this direction.
