INCREASING LOSS IN OPERATING RAILROADS
EXPENSES ELEVEN HUNDRED MILLIONS GREATER AND RECEIPTS SMALLER
GOVERNMENT CONTROL DON'T APPEAR TO BE SUCCESS, ACCORDING TO OFFICIAL REPORT
Railroads in 1918 under government control and unusual war conditions earned about $718,000,000, or $250,000,000 less than in 1917, $370,000,000 less than in the record year of 1916, and about the same as in 1915.
This became apparent Thursday on the basis of definite reports to the Interstate Commerce Commission of earnings of 195 principal railroads—those having annual operating revenues of more than $1,000,000—for 11 months and unofficial calculation of December earnings, which Railroad Administration reports indicate will be considerably smaller than those of preceding months.
Although subject to slight revision, the figures afford the first public view of the results of railway operations last year, so far as earnings are concerned.
Returns from freight, passenger, express and other transportation during the year amounted to approximately

months and unofficial calculation of December earnings, which Railroad Administration reports indicate will be considerably smaller than those of preceding months.
Although subject to slight revision, the figures afford the first public view of the results of railway operations last year, so far as earnings are concerned.
Returns from freight, passenger, express and other transportation during the year amounted to approximately $4,873,000,000, or $832,000,000 more than in the previous year. Operating expenses jumped to about $3,971,000,000, or about $1,119,000,000 more than in the preceding year.
Preliminary reports to the Railroad Administration indicate that freight traffic fell off in December, with the virtual stopping of great food shipments destined for Europe and the cessation of the hauling of other war material, while expenses could not be reduced materially. This condition sent the net earnings, or railway operating income, which has been declining steadily since the record month of last July, to probably $25,000,000 or $30,000,000, officials believe. This may be compared to income, of $59,204,000 in December of 1917, when blizzards and curtailment of traffic sent earnings to what was then considered a very low record.
The outstanding features of the railway earnings situation last year were that freight and passenger rates were increased to yield about $900,000,000 annually, or $450,000,000 in the six months during which they were effective, while wage advances added $636,000,000 to operating expenses. These are the latest estimates of Railroad Administration accountants, but are not considered final. Wages, particularly, may prove to amount to more than is now believed.
The Railroad Administration accountants now report that in 1918 the $1,710,000,000 payroll of the year previous was increased 37 per cent and that consequently $2,346,000,000 was paid out last year to the 2,000,000 railroad employees. Many wage increases were effective for only the latter part of the year and if these run through the present year, even without other additions which may come from action on pending applications for more pay they would make $784,000,000 additional wages. The wage level at the end of 1918 was a little more than 45 per cent higher than at the beginning of the year, when the government assumed control.

paid out last year to the 2,000,000 railroad employees. Many wage increases were effective for only the latter part of the year and if these run through the present year, even without other additions which may come from action on pending applications for more pay they would make $784,000,000 additional wages. The wage level at the end of 1918 was a little more than 45 per cent higher than at the beginning of the year, when the government assumed control.
Prospects for improvement of the earnings situation this year depend mainly on whether business during the readjustment period continues active, and gives a large volume of freight traffic to the railroads. Indications point to a reduction of traffic and consequently to reduced earnings, according to the Railroad Administration.
Director General Hines has stated that no consideration was being given to any rate increase, but he believes no general reductions can be made this year.
BREADLESS STUFFING FOR FOWL
Often you may not have dry bread or chestnuts on hand to stuff a fowl or you may desire an entirely new recipe for a change. In either event try:
Potato Stuffing
2 cups mashed potatoes.
1 egg (beaten).
1 small onion finely minced.
1 tablespoon fat.
1 stalk celery finely minced, or
½ teaspoon celery salt.
1 teaspoon salt.
Pepper.
Mix the ingredients and use in place of ordinary bread stuffing.
This recipe is one recommended by the Department of Agriculture.

The production on these two leases has decreased to 49% of that of the years 1914-15, and is now only two-thirds as much as a year ago. The production of these two leases will probably continue to decrease. The Company has leased 40.11 acres at Yorba to the Standard Oil Company, and they are now drilling a test well on the property.
The undersigned, members of the Board of Audit, have carefully examined all books, papers and other records appertaining to the business of the Company for the year ending December 31, 1918, and find that the same have been kept in a correct, neat, clear and intelligent manner, and that the foregoing is a full, true and complete report taken from the books covering the above mentioned period.

BEWARE OF EDIBLE GOURDS
Department of Agriculture officials again warn farmers and gardeners not to be fooled by extravagant claims in advertisements of two varieties of edible gourds, long known but little grown in this country, which are treated in the advertisements as "butter beans" of rare quality and high productivity. Vague but glowing and extravagant claims are made for them.
The food value of these gourds is similar to that of summer squash, according to department officials, and they are interesting as curiosities, but have slight practical worth.
The name, Gigantic New Guinea Butter Bean, has been loaded onto the Cucutza or sweet gourd. It is frequently found in Italian vegetable gardens and is offered in the markets of New Orleans, but is considered of such little value that seedsmen rarely give it notice. It has been reported to the department that this so-called new bean has been offered at extravagant prices, for example, 6 of the gourd seeds for 50 cents, or 16 for $1.
