STAGGERS THE IMAGINATION
The well known lite stock conimisMion house of Clay, Robinson &
Co., doing busint'HR at a dozen market almost, issue from their Chi
cago office a weekly publication, the Live Stock Report, which con
tains, in addition to information relative to live stock matters in gen
eral and their busincm in particular, timely editorials u other sub
ject.
A recent number of 4hc Live Stock Report contained the follow
ing interesting article under the caption, War's Wastage of Intellect,
In which the calamity of the -present European war is spoken of as
being "so far-reaching in its effete as to indeed stagger the imagina
tion1:
Not the least deplorable result of the present war is the wast
age of brain power, the great dynamic which has brought the
world to Its present state of material development. The danger
of stagnation In the world's progress from poverty of Intellectual
leadership Is a real oae. By reason of the scientific methods em
ployed In modern .warfare brains and technical skill are required
to a hitherto unknown degree,' and the, loss is correspondingly in
creased. The Hamburger Fremdenblatt estimates that Germany alone
lost more than 90,000 Intellectuals in the first eight months of the
war. About 25,000 students of universities, preparatory colleges
and technical schools had been killed up to April 1. Other casu
alties Included 10,000 professors of universities and colleges and
1 teachers in schools and other educational Institutions, 11,000
Judges and attorneys, 18,000 public officials of various kldns,
; 11,000 editors, writers, artists, musicians and actors, and 15,000
chemists, technicians, engineers and kindred professions.
The losses of the Austro-Hungarian thinking classes are com
paratively as heavy. A London paper makes similar comments
on the toll of talent and genius which Great Britain and France
are paying for an uncertain triumph on the "field of honor." It
is the same With Italy, Russia adn the other belligerent nations.
It was only recently that' the cable reported Gabriel D'Annunzlo,
Italy's leading poet, flying over Trieste and dropping his veroes
along with death dealing bombs. Marconi, to whom the world
owes the gift of wireless telegraphy, is with the Italian forces, and
a life of incalculable value to mankind may any day 'be snuffed
out.
It is self-evident that the warrlnK nations are consuming
their Intellectual as well as physical capital at an appalling rate.
War on a huge scale in the prewnt highly orguntzed state of hu
man society Is a calamity no far-reaching in its effects as to indped
stagger the Imagination.
RAILROAD RATES AND SERVICE f
Apropos of llie recent geiierul discussion of railroad fn ilit ratcN
thru the p'-css of this country, and the action laken last month by the
Interstate Commerce Commission on the application of western rail
roads for permission to increase rates, The llerlad wishes to express
what we believe to be the general sentiment of shippers regarding th
matter, am! particularly of persons interested in the live stock indus
try.
There is an almost universal demand that transportation rates
khall be as low as is consistent with good service and a fairly profit
able business by the transportation companies. There arc but com
paratively few persons who wish to see railroads driven into bank
ruptcy or crippled so that needed extensions and improvements can
not be made. On kihiic commodities the freight charges should be
low, quite low, because of the cheapness with which they can be trans
ported and the small risk incurred in handling. On other commodi
ties the rates must necessarily be much higher, if satisfactory service
is to be rendered. ' '
On such articles as coal, lumber, hay, etc., which do not require
rapid transportation, and in the carrying of which there is but little
danger of loss, shippers have a right to expect and demand low rates.
In the carrying of perishable products, requiring rapid transportation
and incurring great risk, railroads have a right to ask and receive
rates commensurate with the services rendered and risk incurred.
Among shippers of live stock, we do not believe there is one-half
the demand for lower rates that there is for better service. Except
for an occasional complaint that rates are not equitable, that is, that
the rate to some given point is not as low as it ought to be as com
pared with the rate to nonie other point, we do not hear much said
regarding live stock freight rates; but we do hear a good deal regard
ing set vice, and not a few complaints regarding the service railroads
Tender in the shipping of live stock.
One per cent, difference in the condition of live stock upon reach
ing market means more to the shipper than five per cent, difference'
in th freight rate. If the railroads will give live slock shippers the
service they want, they ill not hear them clamoring for excessively
low freight rates.

Systems that Last
a Lifetime
The tirt cost of the "Carbo" the only tingle spriiiR steel post
is the only cost. No riding of fencing during blizzards no freez
ing out no re-stapling no chance for fire damage no weeds to
harbor chinch bugs, boll weevil, tc. no hedge posts to be trimmed
no Uigg4ng of holes--no special tools required.
Don't this Appeal to Your
Sound Judgment
It's the test of storms, strains and shocks that tells the worth
of SYSTEM in the building of fences. You are finding that science
pays in every other department of farming and stock raising why
not use the same principle In your fencing? The "Carbo" is the
strongest, lightest and cheapest fence support system in the world.

20 More Power
The Chalmers valve-in-head motor with over
head camshaft s as far in advance of the old
types of motors as the self-starter is ahead of the
starting crank.
It is generally recognized in the trade and
among owners as the 20 more poteer motor.
THE Chalmers Six-40 is the new motor ear at a
lower price, equipped with this wonderful new
type of motor which has made it necessary for the
Chalmers Company to so tremendously . increase its
production for 1916.
The Season's Motor Sensation
On the hills and country roads where going is hard,
this $1350 car will do all for you that it did for A. E.
Walden when he established a record at the recent Union
town Hill Climb, driving a Chalmers Six-40, that was
eight seconds better than the previous record for the class.
Within the limits of touring car service its wonderful
vaJve-in-head overhead camshaft motor will give you all
the efficiency and "trigger-quick" getaway that this type
gave De Palma and Resta when they averaged 90, 93
and 102 miles an hour for 300 and 500 miles at Indian
apolis and Chicago.
Comfortable as Rocking Chair
The new Chalmers Six-40 is as comfortable as a big
library rocking-chair.
The leather upholstered seats are deep and luxurious;
the sides of the tonneau are built on the "armchair"
principle. You ride in the car not on it.
The leg-room is ample; the rear springs are 57 inches
long longer than any other car in this class and the
result is that the car glides over rough spots with an
easy motion that makes motoring a pleasure under every
condition.

most exacting standards. They are quality cars through
out in style, l e iuty, comfort and performance.
