A recent head-on collision of two freight trains has few parallels in railway history in that it occurred at the point where two block signals were located to mark the division between two blocks on a track which was used for trains traveling in opposite directions. The two trains, as shown in the October number of Popular Mechanics magazine, met almost exactly at this deadline, because one entered one block only five seconds after the other had entered the adjoining block. Other factors contributing to the accident were the facts that the dispatchers' orders were defective and that a heavy fog obscured I lie right, of way. Each train was drawn by two big locomotives. Two men were slightly injured in the crash.

Russian sailors w|th astonishngly long cap ribbons dangling down their back, stroll along often arm in arm with American officers and enlisted men.

GET READY NOW Lay Away Spare Change and Buy a Liberty Loan Bond With It. THE SECOND LOAN Os $3,000,000,000 Will be Floated Oct. I—Bankers Are Back of It. ■ ■ — Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 15 —Reports are coming Into the stale council of defense indicating that there will be no lack of organized effort when It comes to floating the second Liberty Loan of $3,000,000,000 October 1. Meetings of financiers and bankers have been called in practically every county of the state, and the counties not already organized will have done so in time to guarantee prompt activity upon the opening of the subscription lists. As characterized the first Liberty Loan’s success, a special appeal will again be made to the small investor. It is the hope of the secretary of the treasury and the purpose of those in charge of the approaching bond issue, to interest as many citizens as possible in this and all subsequent loans. As before there is no fund for the payment of salaries or commissions to the bankers or banks devoting themselves to the bond issue. It represents a voluntary contribution to the country’s common cause. Auditor of State Otto Klauss is at the head of the loan organization in Indiana, having been designated to that post by the federal reserve bank. He has called to his assistance the leading, representative bankers, bond salesmen and other financiers of the state, who have agreed to devote a large portion of their time and the necessary effort to make Indiana’s showing in the second bond issue, as creditable as the first, when the state's allotment was heavily overscribed.

WORLD’S FOOD NEEDS. To supply the estimated needs of the United States, the allies, and in part the neutral nations of Europe the farmers of the United States must plant for next year about 238 million acres of land to staple food cro is. This is 22 per cent more than the 195 million acres which represent the 10year average plantings, and 4.5 per cent mort than the large acreage—--227 millions—of 1917. Compared with 1917 these acreages represent increases of 22 per cent for winter wheat, 15 per cent for ali wheat, 51 per cent for rye, and 5 per cent for oats, and decreases of 6 per cent for barley and of 8 per cent for corn. Compared with the preceding 10-year average the proposed acreages represent 43 per cent for winter wheat. 5 iter cent spring wheat, 29 per cent all wheat, 124 per cent rye, 7 per cent barley, 27 per cent oats, and 7 per cent corn. These estfmates of required acreages have been made by the United States Department of Agriculture,' with due allowance for weather, fa: n labor supply, Injury to crops by insects and disease, and the production of cereals by other nations, and for other usual and extraordinary conditions as far as they may be foreseen. (Ferman competition After the War Will be Keen, Say Experts. (United Press Service) Paris, August 15—(By Mail)—Germany’s principle during peace was to prepare for war. With inexorable log-

ic she has reversed her maxim and is now preparing for peace during war. Ernest Outrey, Deputy and Member of the Parliamentary Commission for Foreign Affairs, discloses a part of this formidable after-war campaign in tin article in tlie “Echo of Paris.” The principal foreign zone of Germany’s commercial activities is Spain. The German Consulate at Barcelona has lately tripled its offices and employees. A German association has also been founded to develop the tourist industry in Spain. Besides developing hotels and travelling facilities, this league is working to entice Spanish students to visit German universities. During a recent gernianopliile meeting at Santander, Senor Zamora, deputy, announced that after the war German capital would be poured into Spain and that German firms would establish now important branches, so as to tell German products which on account of tlie allies' customs regulations, will be barred oil other European markets. There is no doubt that Germany is already preparing to recapture Italy's trade after the war. A firm in Milan, which used to deal with a Nuremberg to yfactory, has been advised by the

latter that as they are prevented by the war from serving their Italian customers, they have made arrangements with a firm in Madrid which is taking this place temporarily. Every facility is offered as regards payment by the Spanish representative, who is even prepared to wait for a settlement of ac counts till hostilities have ceased. In Switzerland German commercial travellers are busier than ever and

waging fierce competition against their foreign rivals. It is interesting to note that the paper shortage, which is felt nearly everywhere, seems to be unknown in Germany, at least to Jud :e by the press. The “Berliner Tageblatt,” for instance contains thirty-six pages of commercial advertisements. From these indications it is apparent that the commercial struggle Germany is preparing to put up after the war. is likely to be as formidable in its way as her military enterprises. STORE WINTER SUPPLIES. A family of five, including two adult and three children under 12 years of age, under ordinary living conditions, should have stored for each month of the winter season the following supplies: 1 bushel of Irish potatoes; 2 bushel of other root vegetables such as carrots, turnips, and parsnips; 25 quart cans of other vegetables; and 20 quarts of canned fruit and preserves. These figures are based on estimates by the United States Department of Agriculture, which adds that most of this should come from the perishable products of the many home gardens of this year. With these figures as a basis, it is thought that almost any family may calculate its requirements, taking into consideration the length of the winter season in any given locality. Thus, in the south, where food crops may be grown in the fall, the winter allowance may be less than for the far north, where one must count on supplies for several months longer. There is still time for a final drive in canning, preserving and drying. In using vegetables, it may be assumed that a given quantity of dried vegethables is equal to four times Its bulk of canned vegetables; that is, onefourth of a quart of dry string beans when soaked over night is approximate ly equal to one quart canned.
