In writing about her grandmother, who was a very resourceful woman, Mary Roberts Rinehart says: “Com pletely untrained and with no open- ’ irtgs outside of •'school teaching for women in those days, she fell back cn her needle.” And thfen there was the man who sat down on the spur of the moment, to say nothing of the guy who was driven by the lash of necessity. With President Roosevelt and his ©c-workers striving to reduce the burdensome cotton surplus, announce ment comes from Sumter that a South Carolina banket-farmer has perfected a five-lock strain of the fleecy staple that will produce 30 per cent. m:re cotton per acre with the same amount of fertilirer and work and “is expected to revolutionize the cotton growing industry in the South and bring salva- ticn to the Southern cotton farmer with its pr fit-making possibilities, % instead of losses such as have been suffered in recent years by the grow ers.” The boll weevil having failed woefully in h s self-appointed task of reducing production, t-ge’her with the failure of the destructi n pro gram to boo«t puces to a profitable level, it would teem that a < ne-lock boll woo’d e me nearer solving the problem than will one producing five time* that amount. In this day anl * me. bumper crop, are a cur«e, not a blessing, • > far as profitable prices are concerned and botes. 9. They have operated cn plans outlined In 1875. 10. They have cut some far eg and rates under restrictions. 11. They have speeded up a few (empty) trains 5 per cent. 12. They have beeh in the throes of the I. C. C. 13. And they have recently realized that they have competition. JUST 1 am for the railroads, .fl’st, ‘ as t and always, but would like to see them wake up. Railroads no longer have a monopoly like power and tele phone c-mpanks, therefore — they might as well make up their minds that they must compete. Nobody tint spoke to me about accepting the presidency qf any rail road; they simply don’t 4cnow how much I dcn’t know about how to run a railroad, so don’t get it into your head that I am telling them. BUT— 1 am of the opinion that the rail roads could put -tw’c-thirds of their employees and equipment back into service in 6 months if they will re duce their rates and fare s to a reason able (1910) b|^is, pep up their ser vice and schedules, add go after business with slttves rolled up in stead of lying down on the job for the purpose of being h'gtfed by .trucks and buses. \n«.th#r lUcr) M*|I Our fnvwd, W Sm *k. edi’or of tb* H g.trrb r*» and Stand'rf, • of a aucpM i«>u* mini ami quibr uftrn na/urr. up at ,orr* »f bngry-mrn a urn? th# rvpoal of thr lath Am.nd- mm< ndh ahKh to f ighten h» c n- atitnrnu |'»r inttancr. •• find thi* grin t ward, thr .U>*r t.f «n vddonal about thr a Irgrd "•«-cr»t plan” of thr rrpr*! at* for *hr fu uir c titr*. • f thr *a r of whi-k) % ‘fn?rrr»t l*g thing* air happrr.mg ami going to hapten .r K>-uth t aio in* n r nnrr lioa with thr U|Wu- <|Ur*t on. ) t n atanrr. who *lr *h- •*<*> ah in* n thr brrwrry hr ng (t>n*trtt trl 4 a Mnbia * tin* thr \i*a f 4'Iau«l Sapp and II'gar Blown to liar | this summer any •igwiflcanrw?” It wou <1 **rm that • niy by tSr widr«t ativtrb of thr mag natt n cowid • tour of Ku |*r U ron*tiUrl aa an umlrrhand attack n prohib tion lnaamu< h •, Mr*.

The railroads have done every thing in their power to meet modern- day competition an ( j they do not de serve to be criticized for having lost nearly ail cf their passenger business and a goodly portion of their fieight traffic. 1 have checked up on a few rail roads, and in their behalf, 1 wish to recite the following “items” they have done to retain patronage and prestige: 1. They have kept the surcharge cf 1919 on Pullman fares. 2. They .have taken off most of their trains. 3. They have discharge^ 65 per cent of their employees. 4. They have raised freight rates 2 per cent. 5. They have kept their old out-af- date cars and coaches. 6. They have lowered some fieight rutc s and raised minimum cars. 7. They hsve prayed for succor to 48 lugialatuies and 1 congress. 8. They have triad to outlaw trucks all 2 h u> be r? iti.ttr*! aft: . . .she pwhitr wvl no *1*>wM 4Uput<i the statement that there are •eversl m v e r*jup e* in H ltjrwom| tha* hav< never been *l’V<o r* <1 hut once sines ’.hey were matrim n*« I.
