The Car Shortage
Reports from the grain raising districts of the state show that the car shortage is preventing the marketing of wheat. Greensburg, Franklin and Rushville, centers of rich agricultural districts, report that elevators are filled with wheat and that farmers have no facilities for storing the crop. This situation was foreseen weeks ago by agricultural students, who advised farmers to erect temporary granaries and to perfect arrangements for the storing of the wheat crop. Elevator men also issued warnings of the car shortage." The blame for the situation, however, doe's not rest with the farmers. The car shortage has been one of the menacing features of the transportation problem for many months. The coal industry has been wrestling with the question. One authority says a full year's supply of Indiana coal could be mined in seven months if the roads could supply the industry with the requisite number of cars. The steel industry also is affected by the
lack of transportation facilities. Many mills have thousands of tons of steel in their ware-

destination. Ultimately the result will be the fire loss per person in the United
laying off of thousands of men. The car shortage not only prevents an expeditious movement of foodstuffs and commodities, but also ties up thousands of dollars of capital. If the steel mills cannot move their products, they cannot obtain payment of the orders placed with them. If industries must keep their output
in the warehouses instead of delivering them to
their customers, they are unable to collect the money tied up in the orders. If farmers and wine owners cannot move their products, it will not be long before industrial stagnation will result. Transportation plays a vital part in the prosperity of our country, greater than most of us have believed. The railroads themselves were
i deceived by conditions that followed the conclu
sion of the war. They believed their equipment, Oxford Mayor Declines
even ir not up xo sianaara ana unaDie to meet wartime demands, would be able easily to cope with the need3 of the period following the war. They miscalculated in this respect. Unless changes are quickly brought about in the few months remaining of the open season, intense suffering from lack of food and fuel will follow this winter. The government is making a desperate effort to rush coal north before navigation closes on the Great Lakes so that the northwest will have an adequate supply for the winter. The use of cars for this purpose has interfered somewhat with the supply normally allotted to the transportation of wheat.

BASEBALL If yon want to study the best book on human nature over written, go to baseball park and study tho people In the grandstands. There you will see and hear almost every vent to human emotion. Out upon the field your hero walks. Immediately the air is rent with the voices of worship. Rut lot that, hero fail to live up to all that has been said or thought or imagined about him and immediately that same crowd as vociferously turns upon him. It costs to be a hero! I went to a baseball game the other day and saw a popular idol hit a homerun. It thrilled enough spectators to fill a small city. And I said to myself that it didn't make much difference how much salary that chap was paid, he was worth It. Just so long as 38,000 people in one city can go to a baseball game in one afternoon, just so long is this republic of ours going to be a safe place in which to live rumors and counterrumors to the contrary notwithstanding. Baseball teaches things, too. It leaches that a man, to reach the top of his game, must, know how to keep himself in condition and under control at. all times. Xo wonder bastball is popular. No wonder it has lasted so long. Teach your boy to play baseball. You whether man or woman become a baseball fan!
Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years
! Ago Today
POLITICS. I once got Into politics When I was quite a lad. I think I ran for city clerk. My memory is bad. I lived then in a little burg, My friends, .they were a host. Thoy all knew mr and I knew them. Yes, I knew them almost. And every voter in the town Stepped up and shook my hand And made an awful lot of fuss. Some of them hired a band. The othr fellow for the job They knocked both day and night And up to noon, election day. He was nowhere in sight. My friends stood by me to a man. A fart. I'd like to note. They all stood by me to a man Till it was time to vote. But. when the final score was told There were sixteen for me. They told me I was beaten by Nine hundred forty-three. So since that time I've always walked Away around the block When I've observed a heeler who Is hired to boost or knock. As to the game of politics, I would much rather play Draw poker with the cards all marked The other fellow's way.

A contract was closed with the Rich
mond Oitv Band to furnish music for the Fall Festival, by Frank L. Waldele, chairman of the music committee. The band consisted of r,0 pieces and was tr. play on each of the three days of the festival. A form of contract protecting the city in every way, believed to be one which would meet tho approval of council in its proposed contract with the Richmond Water Works companv, was drawn up by City Attorney A. M. Gardner. The ordinance provided for
,i certain number of shares of stock to j be issued to the c:ty for granting the f contract to thr company: for a cer-1 tain number of shares to be reserved i as treasury stork to be used for1' making extensions and additions toj the plant; lhat the city should have j
option on nil such treasury stock issued and may elect to take any or all of It and that the city should have the right to take any or all the stock r.t any time, in case all is taken terminating the contract.

HELEN HAS 41ST BABY; RECEIVES IT TENDERLY NEW YORK, July 31. Helen, a lioness cagejl in Central park Friday licked her 41st off-spring as affectionately as if the cub were her first born. Her keepers explained this unending maternal affection by saying -that her other children, save two which died in infancy, have all been sent away to other popular zoos. Ackbar, the father, roared fiercely when the youngster was born, but later looked upon the event as simply representing one more lion in the world.

OXFORD, O., July 31. A committee appointed by tho Oxford Automobile club called on Mayor Hughes yesterday and urged him to enforce the automobile ordinance, particularly tho sections relating to speeding, open mufflers and proper turning. The mayor told the committee frankly that ho could do nothing in the matter. "Tho village marshal will not enforce tho ordinance, and council is on record as not desiring it enforced If I employ extra police, council will refuse to pay the bill. I have upon several occasions in the past acted as arresting officer, prosecuting witness and judge, but I can't do this all the time," the mayor said. Summer Term Closes.
