A. L. Stoner of Innvalc, presi
dent of the Webster County Farmers'
Union, filed a protest with the railway
commission concerning the unsanitary
condition of tho coaches on the Burl
ington operating in this locality.
Following is his letter in part:
"First on entering the coach at Red
Cloud, Neb., September 6, 1917, wc
found it in a very dirty, filthy and an
altogether unfit condition to expect
men to ride in to accompany their
stock to market. To every appear
ance this coach had not been cleaned,
dusted or otherwise attended tq for
the comfort and convenience of,, the
cattle men for "many moons." Thc
floor was littered from one end to the
other with every conceivable thing
that you would ever expect to find in
a railway coach. In mid afternoon
for two hours or more wc were with
out water and in absolute daikness
from Table Rock to Falls City.
These last two conditions alone we
consider very negligent and discour
teous to a part of the men who make
this road pay dividends. Moreover,
the unsanitary condition of this coach
was a menace to the health, comfort
and convenience of the shippers and
wc respectfully ask that these con
ditions be investigated and remedied
at the earliest opportunity."

for "nur Efficiency"
Transportation as Well as in
Productivity.
Ncbinska is easily first in a gient
many things. It was first to agitate
the income tax, first to agitato direct
election of senators, first to agitate
direct election of president. It
is the first in per capita production of
agriculture nnd live stock. Tho
publicity arising fiom all these things
is valuable. Now is Nebraska's
opportunity to secure oven greater
publicity by taking tho front rank in
the matter of war efficiency putting
the punch into the service that means
tho speedy winning of the war.
Theie is a shortage of freight
equipment cars and j locomotives.
No time now to discuss the whvs of
J this fact. The government is taking
over the locomotive works, and car
shops are too busy on war stuff to
manufacture freight cars. The so
lution of the transportation problem
lies in "speeding up" shipments, mak
ing three cars do the work that four
or five performed last year. making
two locomotives do the work that re
quired three last year or the year be
fore. Let Nebraska take the lead in
this and the "big guns" of the busi
ness world will talk a lot about the
"Nebraska,, way."
How? Anticipate your needs and
order in large lots, loading cars to
maximum weight capacity. Notify
the railroads when you are going to
load, and load promptly. Notify the
consignee, and thenexpect him to un
load and release the car with prompt
ness. Systematize your shipments,
and remember that other people are
crying for the cars you are holding
up. une year ago tne treignt car
shortage was 150,000 cars. The
railroads have speeded up to their
limit, and the shortage is now less
than 30,000 cars. They used to make
less than 26 miles per car per day;
now they are making twenty-five per
cent more. They can double it if
you'll assist in the good work. One
great railroad is sending out an ex
port to "put the war punch" in its
employees; others will follow. When
Nebraska shippers and the Nebraska
public co-operate we'll get Nebraska
grain and live stock to tho market
p. d. q., and other states will envy us
and emulate us. They'll talk about
Nebraska's way of doing things
that's the kind of advertising Ne
braska needs. The Railroad's War
Board is hustling to help win the war
and to help the people. Now let
every Ncbraskan join in thn work
and while profiting directly get the
indirect profit that comes from favor
able publicity.

STORE WINTER SUPPLIES.
Fruits and Vegetables Required Dur
ing the Nongrowing Season for
the Family.
A family of-five, including two
adults and three children under 12
years of age, under ordinary living
conditions, should have stored for
each month of the winter season the
following food supplies: 1 bushel of
Irish potatoes; J bushel of other root
vegetables such as carrots, turnips,
and parsnips; 25 quarts of other vege
tables and 20 quarts of canned fruits
and preserves These figures are
based on estimates by the United
States Department of. Agriculture,
which adds that most of this should
come from the perishable products of
the many home gardlns this year.
With these figures as a basis, it is
thought that almost any family may
calculate its requirements, taking in
to consideration the length of the win
ter season in any given locality. Thus,
in the South, where food crops may be
grown in the fall, the winter allow
ance may be less than for tho far
North, where one must count on sup
plies for several months longer.
There is still time, says the depart
ment, for a final drive in canning, pre
serving and drying. In using dried
vegetables, it may be assumed that a
given quantity of dried vegetables
is equal to four times its bulk of
canned vegetables; that is, one-fourth'
of a quart of dry string beans when
soaked over night is approximately
equal to one quart canned.
