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.

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
