Freight trains nowadays act like express specials. New freight schedules are sofast, I sometimes wonder if everythinghastobedeliv ered day before yesterday. • Many of our passenger trains are running faster schedules, too. Well, one thing is sure. We make faster runs, but the first railroad commandment is still “Safety First.” That’s one rule they won’t change. • Western railroads and al lied industries provided jobs for 750,000 workers last year. Some of them live in our town. Good neignbors. • Passenger fares are now the lowest in history with substan tial reductions on round trips. And no more surcharge for rid ing in sleeping cars. • - j This new Free pick-up-and-de livery of less than carload 1 freight—I heard some travel- , ing salesmen talking about it on the train yesterday. They said it saves shippers a lot of money and centers all respon sibility on the railroad. The railroad picks up the freight at shipper’s door and delivers to receiver’s door. Of course, local delivery men get the haul from door-to-car and car-to-door at both ends. The railroad handles the whole transaction. • When railroads are busy, I notice towns along the railroad are prosperous. The merchants put more ads in the newspapers. • Weareproudofrailroadachieve ments, appreciate the public’s good will and increased patron age, and pledge continued prog ress. * WESTERN RAILROADS and THE PULLMAN COMPANY B w Republican National Chairman John Hamilton, in a recent state ment denied the story that he is foreign born.

A Lancaster county housewife •ays they are getting $1.25 a day ’rom four pure bred Holsteins and putting $2 a day into them for feed. Down here in the southwest we get that much out of White Races without buying a nickle's worth of feed. Building dams here and there ind elsewhere might give a lot of fellows jobs but that will not make it rain. Were it not inconsistent with the modern fancy of plowing under nature’s bounties, we would suggest that in the place of dams crews be put to work putting down irrigation wells. Office space occupied by the fed eral government has grown from ] 61 million square feet in 1933 to 87 million square feet in 1936. Make it a little bigger so there will be room for those from the abandoned farm homes, the former factory and mill workers and everybody who thinks they would make a great figure at an office desk.

Mrs. Roher is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Saunders and has been w'ith her husband on a trip east. They left for their home at Hastings Sunday and the girls from Washington remained for a visit. The calm of a summer night in the southwest, with a bed spread between rows of stately elm and towering cottonwoods, stars ablaze in their facinating brillancy far in the heavens ab?>ve, cool and restful —a place for soul enjoyment trans cending magnificent cathedral or the giddy haunts of pleasure. The simple things in life, nature’s treasure-store of beauty and wond ers hold a charm that is being too much neglected by a pleasure chasing world.

At an early hour, when the eastern sky has taken on the delicate tints, when the mist of night’s evapora tions hang low across far stretch ing meadows, there is a freshness and invigorating touch experienc ed at no other hour. Some go to mountains, sea shore, far distant points at great expense. Down here we get it all at no cost.
