RAILROADS APPEAL TO. PRESIDENT The Common. Carriere Ask for Re. lief - President Wilson Directs Attention of Public to Their Needs. - The committee of railroad execu tives, headed by Mr. Frank Trumbull, representing thirty-five of the leading railroad systems of the nation, recent I. presented. to. President Wilson- a memorandum briefly reviewing the dif ficulties npw confronting the railroads of the country and asking for the co operation of the governmental authori ties sand the public in supporting rail road credits and redognizing an emer gency which requires that the rail roads be given additional revenues. The memorandum recites that the European war has resulted in general depression of bupiness on the Ameri can continent and in the dislocation of credits at home and abroad. With revenues decreasing and Interest rates increasing the transportation systems of the country face a most serious crisis and the memorandum is a strong presentation of the candle burning at both -nds and the perils that must ultimately attend such a conflagration when the flames meet is apparent to all. In their general discussion the railroad representa tives say in part: "By reason of leg islation and regulation by the federal government and the forty-eight states acting independently, of each other, as well as through the action of a strong public opinion, railroad expenses in recent years have vastly increased. No criticism is here made o( the gen eral theory of governmental regula tion, but on the other hand, no in genuity can relieve the carriers of ex penses created thereby." President Wilson, in transmitting the memorandum of the railroad presidents to the public, character izes'it as "a lucid statement of plain truth." The president recognising the emergency as extraordinary, con tinuing, said in part: "You ask me to call the attention -of the country to thp imperative need that railway credits be sustained and the railroads helped n every possible way, whether by private co-operative effort or by the action, wherever feasible of governmental agencies, and I am glad to do so because I think the need' very real." The conference was certainly a fortunate one for the nation and the president is to be congratulated for opening the gate to a new world of effort in which everyone may co-oper ate. There are many important prob lems in our complex civilization that "will yield to co-operatieh which will not lend themselves to arbi ary rul ings of commissions and financing railroads is one of them. The man with the money Is a'factor that can not he eliminated from any business transaction and the public is an Inter ested party that should alwayr be con suited atd n appily the president has invited all to participate in the solu tLon ut our railroad problems.

CANNING CLUB GIRLS ACCOMPLISH MUCH Over 80,000 MIembers In Fourbeen Dif. ferent States. New York, -Dec. 27.-Results of the girls' canning club movement in S9uthern States, promoted join.tly by the department of agriculture and the general education board, are Petailed in an installment of the latter organ ization's annual report.made public to day. "The method is simple," says the report. IEach girl takes onq-tenth of an acre and is taught how to select the seed, to plnt, cultivate and per fect the growth of the tomato plant. Meanwhile portable canning outfilts have been provided, to be set up out of doors, in the orchard or the garden and trained teachers - of domestic science instruct the local teachers in the best methods. When the tomatoes are ripe the girls conic together, now at one home and now at another, to can the products. It is done in the most up-to-date fashion. The girls are taught the necessity of scrupulous cleanliness; they sterilize utensils and cans, seal and label and indeed man ufacture an easily marketable pro duct. "Three hundred and twenty-flve girls were registered the first year; 3,000 the next, 23,500 In the year fol lowing. In 1913 there were upwards of 30,000 in 14 .different. states. "The entire expense of the girls' canning club work has at all times been borne by the general education board, except for local contributions. In 1911 an initial ap)ropriation of $5,000 was made and $25,000 the fol lowing year. In May, 1912, the appro priation of the board for this purpose was $75,000. "Though the national government, through the department of agricul ture, had entire supervision, it has borne no part of the expenses. The states in which the work is now go ing forward on this basis are: Mary land, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi Kentucky Ten nessee, Arkansas, Alabama, Oklahoma and Texas. "The average profi.t made by the girls reporting in 12 states was $21.98, but not a few made sums far in ex cess. A Macon county, Mississippi, girl realized a net profit just under $100 on her 950 cans of tomatoes: another neighbor ' made 1,008 cana, with a proflt to herself of $77.73; a girl living in Aiken county South Car olina netted $60.51. The accounts are carefully kept. "T. he mimpondorable Indiroot L ;nins ar1e certainly not less mimportanit. Can ning (lub day is a sovial ovene:Ion.
