EMPTY DINNER PAIL here Is a nut shell statement of some railroad facts facto in 1926 the rails employed persons and l nd in 1932 they employed to fewer we r railroad employment Is at its low I 1 est eat point since 1900 the rails spent an average of a year in improve ing their properties in the five years ending with 1930 in 1931 they spent less and at the moment railway improvement has virtually

plan to form a club each member to buy one ounce ot of silver per week the club would buy a 9 bar ol of sliver oliver and alter after collecting the cost of 0 the same from the members plus the delivery charges all members names would be placed in a box then one number drawn out the winning number gets the bar of 0 sliver silver in the drawing for or the next brick the member who won the first brick would not haie a number in the box the plan Is to continue these drawings until each member owns a bar of silver it Is ig believed hundreds ot of clubs suh i as this will spread over the country a and d that they will solve the silver problem boost the price and increase the commerce of the world NOT A bad plan it seems to us who will bo be the one to lorm form such a club in park city As a starter three members of the record lorce force will enroll as members and likely hundreds ot of others who can afford 25 or 26 cents a week would follow their example the price of silver Is going to steadily advance with the I 1 coming of the new deal and now Is the time to get in on the ground floor to make a little handy bandy change a A a a 5 TWO BILLS have been introduced in the
