ST. LOUIS, Mo., Sept. 15. The magnitude of the increases which have taken place in the freight tr.ifi'ie of the railways of the United States within the last two years, and of the advances in efficiency which have had to be achieved in order to handle it, were shown in a striking manner by It. H. Aishton, president of the Chicago & Northwestern railway, in an address before the St. Louis Railway club here recently: "At the present rate of movement," said Mr. Aishton. "the railways will in the year IS 17 handle 510,000,000. or Z- percent. more tons of freight thar. they did in the fiscal year ended on June ."0, 1915. On the basis of the present number of tons handled per train, it would take Tl'O.VJO freight trains, containing 18.000,000 freight cars, merely to handle this increase in tonnage over 1315. 'The increase in the freight traffic of our railways in 1917 over the year ended on June 30, 1915," he continued, "will amount at the present rate to as much as the total traffic handled before the war by all the railways of Germany, Prance, Russia, Spain, Sweden. Switzerland. Iioumania, Holland. Canada, South Africa. Mexico, Japan. Prazil and South Wales. "The railways have been obliged, owing to conditions beyond their control, tn handle this enormously increased t rathe with almost no increase in facilities. In order to do

"In the construction of military cantonments today." .-aid Mr. Aishton. over ."O.ooo carloads of mate-

i rial have been transported to and

Ö livered at the sites an enormous tax upon the already overburdened railroad facilities of the country. The railroads, however, have giv-n

splendid service. All government j ordrrs have heen given precedence i and the lumber and other supplies!

needed were rm-hed to the cantonments in record time. 1'esides the material for the construction of the6--, cantonments the railways have

i moved vast quantities of other mate

for believing that it will encounter any in the handling cf those who ar? yet to be moved."

In conclusion. Mr. Aishton said: 1 rt "With loyal and eners'-'tic service from their employes, w ith continued '8

effective co-operation from the shipping public, and with a public sentiment which will be intelligently sympathetic with what they are tryinc to do, there is no good reason for doubting that the railways will be able to ac-xjinpllsh the great task which they have set before them-

training the national army. Sup-j plies of lumber on hand fire light, i

! and lack of transportation has ham

pered further activity. Sales of j hardwood are reported to be excep- j

tionally heavy. The dry goods business this summer has been up to the normal, although stocks in the hands of retailers in the small centers have been, and still are, higher than the

i average. Orders for fall delivery

have generally been very satisfactory and largely in excess of former years. Manufacturers of women's ready-to-wear garments report that their business has been somewhat curtailed hy the rapid Increase of prices. Shoe manufacturers throughout the district, and especially in St. Louis, have shown increases In sales from month to month. Government contracts for army shoes are a factor in the market. Manufacturers nnd jobbers of hardware, woodenware. and paper all report an active business, with the output in some cases hampered by the search j of raw material and delays due to car shortage. . Last month I reported that the

outlook for the crps was favorable, j

and reports received from private sources the last few days indicate that substantial progress has been

made. General rains throughout the j

central portions of the district early In August materially helped the situation. The combined condition of all crops for the states, wholly or in part, within this district, as given hy the government crop report of August first, is in each case well above

j the average nnd shows gain in con

dition ranging from eight percent to 14 percent as compared to the July first condition.

A special irpeal to club women in the United States has been issued by the T'nited States commission of education. Dr. I P. Claxton. tiring that the influence of the organizations they represent be given to the maintenance of the schools of the nation in their full efficiency during the present crisis. Dr. Claxton says: "Everywhe-e there seerns to be fear lest our schools of all kind"! and grades, :.nd especially the public schools, will suffer this year because of conditions growing out of our entrance into the war. On the other hand, loth for the present defence and for the future welfare of our country, as well as for the individual benefit of the children, it is of the greatest importance that the schools .hall be maintained in their full efflfiency, both as to standards of work and attendance of children. "While the. war continues there will be manv unusual temptations to many kinds of juvenile delinquencies. Prompt and regular attendance at school ard proper employment during1 out-of-school hours will be the children's surest protection against such temptations.

Neotl TTiglior Standards. "When tiie boys and girls now of; school age l ave reached manhood and womanhood there will be need ; for a higher s tandard of intelligence. (

skill and wisdom for the work of life ami for the duties and responsibilities of citizenship than we have ever yet attained. Our schools must now be so sjstained and improved as to enable them better to prepare our boys and girls for life and work in the new age which will follow the close of the war anil the coming of peace. No boys and cirls must now be neglected or exploited for selfish ends. "In all this probably no others can be quite so helpful as the club women of the country, most of whom are al?o mothers of children. For this reas.n 1 am taking the liberty of suggesting to them that in all women's clubs this should be made a subject of discussion at their first meetings this fall and from time to time throughout the year.

There are dreamers who trudge alontr in the rut, hoping vaguely for the day they will be lifted from poverty to riches hy some magi:, thev know not what. That dav never will come. Not one man in a thousand ever sains anvthing that way. If he wants to accumulate money, he must go out and earn that money, and then save it and invest it.

Something New

has been found in advertising a new way of explaining it a new viewpoint. A rather technical subject has been turned into one that will interest vou, whether you know anything about advertisincr or not. Advertising dates back to the dawn of history, and even further back than that. Advertising was given birth before the Pyramids. The Pyramids themselves reallv are advertisements. If you like to know the "why and wherefore" of things, you'll enjoy reading the series of short articles on advertising which we will begin publishing in next Sunday's issue.
