The railroads and what is to be done with them undoubtedly are the biggest domestic prob lem that confronts the American people to-day. Many measures of relief have been advanced— so many, in fact, that the average man and woman find it difficult to follow them and under stand clearly what they aim to accomplish and how. The leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST this week analyzes and presents in sim ple form the provisions of the two bills that have awakened the most comment —the Cummins Bill and the Plumb plan. Five minutes' reading will give you all the facts—and a few addition al minutes will acquaint you with the gist of what the American press says about them. When you consider that the future hours of labor, wages and conditions in many other industries will undoubtedly hinge upon whatever plan is adopted for the railroads, you can see how important it is for every intelligent citizen to know the facts presented in this article. There are also nu merous striking cartoons representing different angles of thought upon this vital subject.

MADE BT SCOTT * BOWNE MAKERS OF SCOTT'S EMULSION I*-4 GRAIN GROWERS' BIG SUCCESS C. Rice Jones Tells Story of Rapid Growth of the Rusinoss Ottawa, Canada, Sept. 12.—A won derful romance of big business backed by the farmers of western Canada was revealed when C. Rice Jones took the stand in an investi gation before the Cost of Living Committee and told the story of the United Grain Growers, j Mr. Jones, who is general man ager, gave a rapid survey of the I company's wide activities. Organlz j ed by a handful of farmers to mark !ct grain, it now markets all farm j products and buys and sells all j farm supplies. It owns grain ele vators, timber limits, sawmills, flour mills, and coal mines. It distributes flour and feed, coal, binder twine, barbed wire, wire fencing, lumber, cedar and willow posts, apples, salt, hay and building supplies. The United Grain Growers Securities Company, a subsidiary organization, does a business in bail insurance and appraising and selliiiK farms to settlers. Another branch, the United Grain Growers Kxport Com pany, has headquarters in New York and does a large export trade. The company, in short, attends in a large way and on a co-operate basis to every kind of business which affects the farm. It num bers 35,000 farmers as its members. Mr. Jones said that for the year ending August 31, 1918, the total turnover in nil this business was $6,087,571 and the total proflts were $555,252. This was gross profits of 62.2 per cent or 36.S per cent on the capital and reserve. The crop handled in the terminal ele vators by the company was 49,000,- 000 bushels. He said the company had narrowed the margin on wheat that was bought by 3 or 4 cents to the advantage of the farmer. The gross turnover in 1918 was $102,000,000. The capital stock is $10,000,000 and the reserve $1,059,- 355. The 35.000 share-holders re ceived a dividend of 10 per cent. Mr. Jones said the company was organized in 1906 with the capital of $5,000,000. Up to August. 1918, $2,891,050 was issuqd of which $2,- 159,763 was paid up. He said the directors were all farmers. Each member was allow ed to own only 100 shares at $25 a share. Mr. Jones gave the profits from 1912 to 1918 as follows: 1912, $121,- 614: 1913, $164,362; 1914, $151,080; 1915, $226,963; 1916, $572,804; and 1917, $607,899. The United Grain Growers is an amalgamation of the United Farm ers of Alberta and the Manitoba Grain Growers. It is the largest co-operativ farmers' organization in the world. British Who Made Money During War Spending It Rapidly Chicago, Sept. 12.—"There is an orgy of buying and spending in England unexampled in the history of the country," said a returned traveler. "The war fastened a tre mendous debt on the Government but working people made big wages and piled up large bank accounts and many great private fortunes were amassed. These newly pros perous people are now spending their money like drunken sailors. "High prices never bother them. In fact they rather like them. The higher the price the easier it is for who have money to draw the line of demarcation between themselves and the 'common herd.' They like to indulge magnificently in things ordinary folks can't buy. That seems to be human nature. "A young blood thinks nothing of paying $25 apiece for orchids for a corsage bouquet for his lady to wear at the theater. The price of a dinner after the play at the Savoy or the Ritz-Carlton is staggering. A dollar and a half is a detail. Automobiles of fashionable make cost SIO,OOO to $15,000 each. Cars are scarce and those obtainable are models of three or four years ago. The manufacturer of the most fam- I ous English car makes only 800 a | year and he has booked his entire I output for this year and next."

Miss Austraw was assaulted, then shot to death last May. James Crawford, a farm laborer, recently tried for the murder, was I found not guilty on grounds of in sanity, while John Ray, aged 17, ac cused in connection with Crawford, was found not guilty for lack of evi dence. Hosiery Prices to Stay Up, Makers Say Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 12. There is no prospect of any decrease in existing costs to the public for either socks or stockings, according to a statement issued last night by the executive committee of the Na tional Association of Hosiery Man ufacturers, in session here. "The industry, like many others, is confronted with a serious labor shortage. Mills as a rule are run ning upon a basis of 75 per cent of their production," the statement added. "Labor in many mills is making the situation the more difficult by clamoring for more pay and a reduc tion of working hours at the same time." Man Who Designed Hudson Tubes Dies New York. Sept. 12.

Jacobs, a civil engineer, whot de signed the Hudson tubes under the North River, connecting this city with New Jersey, the tunnel con necting the Pennsylvania and Long Island Railroads here, was retained by the French government to pre pare plans for a tunnel under the Seine, died in London last Sunday, according to a cable message re ceived by business associates.
