Are You Borrower of Trouble?
Don't be looking on the future as a
time of trouble.
Have confidence that the future, by
reason of your efforts will be better
and brighter than the past haa ever
been.
Too many worry about things which
never happen.
There la enough cause to worry
about the actual things which come
to pass without worrying about the
things which might happen.
Why make yourself so much dis
comfort over something which may
never materialize.
The troubles which may befall you
in the future may be the very things
needed to bring you to a state of
greater uaefulness to yourself and the
world concerned.
Possibly you have been alidtng along
too easily, all through life.
Probably ybu have never been
obliged to "fret down to casee" and
make yourself over after getting into
a poaltlon where to extricate yourself
means success or failure.
Hard luck has "made" many men
and it may make you amount to some
thing. Ko why dread the future as a lime
of trouble?

Bodies to Co-Operate
Detroit, Mich., Nov. 14. Plana for
co-operation between the Interstate
Commerce commission and state rail
road commissions in regulating rail
road aervice, have been carried suf
ficiently far to Insure their ultimate
success, Chairman McChord of ' the
federal body declared today, in an ad
dress before the national convention
of railway and public utilities commla
sioners. Tha Joint exercise of state
and national authority with elimina
tion of conflicts between them, ho
said, would put the transportation
utilities of the country to their great
est use.
"Within tho realm of commerce,
there should be no state lines," Chair
msp McChord said. "And the build
ing up of symmetrical rate struc
tures for the use of the Interstate an
intrastate shipper can best be accom
plished beyond question, by harmony
of purpose and action among the re
spective regulatory bodies.
'There can be no conflict of au

Practically 90 per cent of
the 95,000,000 barrels of
Portland cement shipped
last year was delivered in
returnable cotton sacks.
To supply users of cement
promptly, the industry must
have about 200,000,000
sacks either on hand or in
use.
The sack method of ship
ping is most convenient.
There are four sacks to a
barrel. Each sack contains
94 pounds of cementa
cubic foot. And a cubic
foot is a handy volume in
proportioning concrete
mixtures.
When cement is shipped, the sacks
are billed to the purchaser. When
they are returned, they are bought
back at the same price ii they are
in usable or repairable condition.
This involves much work in
checking, cleaning, sorting and
repairing.
But in spite of the fact that every
good cement sack is redeemable,
30,000,000 of the sacks shipped
every year fail to come back a loss
of nearly $5,000,000 a year at
present prices of new sacks.
To replace these "lost, strayed or
stolen" sacks requires annually
over 30,000 bales of cotton. It re
quires that the textile industry
weave a strip of cloth 30 inches
wide and 17,000 miles long. It
means that 1,600 looms are kept
working full time for a year.
Thousands of sacks returned to
the cement mills for redemption
' are damaged, yet accepted for
credit, if they can be repaired.
This repair is done by the cement
manufacturer at his own expense.
A medium sized plant shipping,
say 1,000,000 barrels of cement a
year, has to repair an average of
6,000 sacks per day from among
those returned for credit. This
keeps 6 people constantly working
at rapidly operated electric sew
ing machines. In a million barrel
a year plant, 22 people ara con
standy employ! sorting, counting,
repairing and other is caring fee
returned sacks so that they may
again be uid.
At the present time $10,000,000
would be a conservative oticiats
of the investment which the ce
ment industry has in cotton nik.
Sacks are one of the lovr, but
neerthele4 important items in
the cement industry,
