Young. CARS AVAILABLE NOW Shippers who are in a position to do so, are urged by the railroads to take advantage of the present surplus of equipment and, by shipping now, secure prompt movement and delivery of commodities. For the first time since pre-war days the carriers are now ahead of the nation's business, a condition which is attributed to three factors. First, strenuous and successful efforts on the part of the carriers to rehabilitate their properties; second, the usual winter lull, and third, the present changing industrial conditions. Railroad men point out that the present large surplus of freight equipment will not be available in the spring when the annual crop movement develops, and for this reason those who are in a position to anticipate their needs will find it to their advantage to "ship now and avoid the rush." Figures made public by the So. Pac. show the extent of the general decline in railroad traffic and revenue, and indicate the necessity for the curtailment of expenses being made by many lines. The So. Pac., which last August loaded 84,777 cars or an average of over 21,000 per week, is now loading but two-thirds of that amount. Traffic for November, 1920, on the So. Pac. was almost 10,000 cars less than in the same month of 1919, altho the equipment was available to handle more business this year than last. SLANDER WAS the original poison well. THE YEAR 1921 will open with re- is no valid reason to believe that an era of depression is to be experienced, running thru the year, or beyond it. BELIEVE THAT 1921 is going to be a lively year in business and industry and say and do all possible to make it so, and that will help. If all did this, there would be no question as to the economic aspect of the New Year. There is enough optimism, seemingly to carry good effect into the economic structure. MARVELS WILL be accomplished in hydroelectric development, no doubt, within the next few years. Possibilities are practically limitless along this line, in the United States. Capital in huge volume is being attracted into this form of developmental enterprise. Uses of electricity are multiplying. This wonderful agency is being made to serve mankind in manifold ways. This is, in truth, the age of electricity. THOSE WHO, on street corners and park benches, devise ways and means to "run the government" better than "the powers that be" at Washington do it, are often ridiculed. But it is a good thing for the country to have this assurance among the people and to have them discuss public affairs, even though their opinions may be crudely formed and expressed. This venting of views, so long as it does not breathe violence, sedition or revolution, is a safety-valve. It is to be welcomed, rather than sneeered at or suppressed. The Village Gossip Charles Dryden, well known baseball writer, is a guest at a Santa Ana hotel. Dryden is on his way to the habitat of "Cactus" Cravath at Laguna Beach, where he expects to hibernate or fish, as it were. Dryden dubbed Cravath "Cactus" many years ago because he (Cray- Notice to Stockholders Mid-Central Oil Company DO NOT SELL YOUR STOCK!

Tuesday, January 4, 1921 New York Letter by Lucy Jeanne Price NEW YORK, Jan. 4.—Solomon Pedell, a Brooklyn law clerk, had his fillyver stolen. Having been reading in the papers lately of the reputed inefficiency of the police in little matters like the theft of a fillyver, he decided to go to police headquarters and report his loss direct to Police Commissioner Enright, whom he knew, because he was introduced to him once at a police ball. To make the trip, he borrowed the brand-new fillyver sedan of his next-door neighbor, Irving Bausch. Leaving the machine in Grant-st, directly under the window of the bureau of criminal identification at headquarters, he went inside and, after wasting half an hour trying to get to the commissioner, he compromised by reporting his lost Henry to a desk officer who was mostanguid about it. Returning to the sidewalk, he found that his neighbor's new sedan had been swiped! Father Francis P. Duffy, who was a chaplain major overseas, was given to a pink tea form of address before he sailed away with the Fightin' Irish 69th. When he came back, he demonstrated that months of association with Yankee doughboys had put even more of a punch into his dictation, if anything. This is what he had to say in a speech about the "Blue Sunday" agitation the other night: "It would be a fine thing if all the able-bodied, husky, red-blooded Americans who have been frozen out of their churches by the narrow-backs would go back and throw the narrow backs into the rear pews and run the churches in keeping with the honor of God and the diversity of the men He created. Those who would have stocks in Times Square for the variets who smoke cigarettes and ducking stools in the East river for hussies who pack vanity cases are, to my mind, A. O. W. L. from reason." The Rev. Dr. W. Wofford T. Duncan, pastor of the Lanes M. E. church, le-曼ding that Miss Anna Morgan be gotten after as a direct access to the crime wave in New York because "she held council" with pugilists by arranging a bout between Benny Leonard and Ritchie Mitchel in aid of the fund for feeding France. Miss Morgan, who (to use Father Duffy's verb) pucks ordinarily a spirited rejoinder, has thus far maintained a strict silence. Some blame leap year. Others put on usus on prohibition. Anyway, the high cost of living hasn't interfered with Cupid. Over 2300 marriage licenses have been issued thus far this year in New York city. "Tis the record since 1908. The Essex-st C. of C. is resoluting and protesting against the practice of the managers of ballyhooers of rubberneck wagons in bringing their hourly cargoes of out-of-towners down to look over the East Side. They're talking of subsidizing a rubberneck route to take Essex-st folks uptown, "where it ain't so crowded that even the files don't have elbow room in summer, and where we bet you the folks has feeling just the same as us." Samuel Wilder, who lives up in Harlem, sat himself down on a stoel just vacated by another in a Forty-third-st restaurant. As he absentmindedly brushed at the crumbs his predecessor had left, he spied two dimes. Just as the waitress, one Mae Pasquariello, was about to sweep them into her capacious apron "tip" pocket, Samuel nonchalantly dropped them into the pocket where he keeps his matches. Mae ups and decorates him with the highest cattsup bottle, with the result that the frightened manager called both the ambulance and the police. When the catsup was wiped off Samuel, the white-coated young interne whose nap had been interrupted by the call, earned as assist for himself by pushing Samuel over to the coppers. The put-out was completed by Magistrate Kernoen, who sent Samuel away to the work-house for three months. Incidentally, Mae got those two dimes back be- Are You Ready for Spring Plowing?
