"NO HOME ON THIS
LINE," WEARY TICKET SELLERS MUST SAY
"What time does the next train leave for home?" "Where, please?" "I said, what time does the next trairt leave for home?" "Sorry, Madame, but we have no town on this line by that name." "You mean to tell me that Greensfork is not on your railroad, why I only left there this morning, in fact " "That is different, Madame, the next train leaves for Greensfork at 3:30 p. m., but we have no town by the name of "Home" on our line." This is but a sample of the many incidents in the lot of the ticket sellers at local railroad stations. Others are numerous, but this happened last week. i Ticket sellers unwittingly start many a person on the road to fame and fortune, for practicaly every day some young man or woman leaves Richmond for the big cities in quest of the two. The ticket sellers also start persons on the road to the penitentiary. Sheriffs Carr or Wadman are frequent visitors to the ticket windows, both in ouest of prisoners in other towns, and
conveying the offenders to their
punishments. Ticket sellers are supposed, to be
human railroad cyclopedias, no matter what information one is in quest of, or what complaint one has to make, the
ticket seller is always the goat.

U. S. MAY LET FLOUR BE SOLD TO EUROPE t WASHINGTON, March 6. Five million barrels of Federal Grain Corporation soft wheat flour will be sold on credit in Europe soon unless Congress authorizes $50,000,000 loans to fiance the sales, Julius Barnes, head of the corporation told the House rules com
mittee today. He said he now had authority to make the sales on credit but hoped the loans would be authorized. The flour now held at American ports and for which the corporation asks $10.75 a barrel, is "the cheapest in the world," Mr. Barnes told the committee. He added that "every effort had been exhausted to sell it for cash," but that American housewives would pay higher prices for the hard wheat flour. "Why are prices of flour going up?" asked Representative Fess, Republican of Ohio. Much Soft Wheat. "The last year crop situation was a peculiar one," answered Mr. Barnes. "There was a small yield of the strong wheat and a big yieJd of the soft wheat. Flour made from the soft wheat could be obtained for domestic use at all times at the exact reflection of the government guaranteed price of wheat. "The pressure for a different kind of flour by the housewives led the millers to bid up the prices and in North Dakota in five months the hard wheat price was increased 60 cents a bushel above the guarantee."

News and Events Among R. R. Workers
Considerable confusion and trouble was caused at the East Pennsy yards Thursday afternoon, wfien the coal shute broke and tied up a string of engines on the track preparatory to taking on coal for their runs. However, the coal shute was repaired, and passenger trains left Richmond as per schedule, althouh freights were slightly delayed. Because of the rainy and disagreeable weather on Thursday, the car repair gang was greatly depleted. The condition was but little better Friday. This "laying off" greatly inconveniences officials, for the repair gang is short handed and considerably behind in the number of cars repaired each day. Because only 20 of the 100 men formerly employed as car repairmen have returned to work, production has decreased. This necessitates a nine hour working day. The car repair force is also forced to work nine hours to take care of the extra work. A freight car loaded with kitchen cabinets was struck by a switch engine in the east yards Friday afternoon, slightly damaging the car and contents. W. E. Scott, master mechanic, and A. C. Watson, superintendent, left Richmond Friday for a tour of inspection of the Pennsy division between here and Logansport. Plans for the formation of a Pennsy baseball league for the coming summer, are under way. Games may be played at noon, and after work in the afternoon. A' diamond may be laid out in the vacant ground north
of the east yards. Tentative plans
indicate the league will be composed of six teams. Each office will be represented, as will the repair gang, round house, inspectors and trainmen.
FOOD DRAFT SYSTEM HELPS FRIENDS OF POLES Feeding friends in Poland and Russia has become a rather simple matter thru establishment of food drafts now available at most banks. The system, as arranged by Herbert Hoover, is headed by the American relief administration, with headquar-
1 ters at Washington. The organization
is so perfected a minimum of time and risk is involved. Drafts may be had in sums from $10 up. The draft blank stipulates what will be delivered to the recipient. For instance $10 may buy 24 pounds of flour, 10 pounds of beans, 8 pounds of bacon and 8 cans of milk. The donor fills out a blank, pays the money at the bank and the goods are delivered to the person named.

Gold Pin is Reward of Effort in H. S. Classes Why not install a gold pin system in all classes, asks the High School Register, regarding the system of award which Miss Inez Trueblood has recently inaugurated into her English classes. A small gold pin is the stimulant. Each week the pin is presented to the pupil who has received the high(i? est English average during the past week, and is worn for the succeeding week. Miss Trueblood says the plan is working admirably.
