depression. At the saiiie time, realizing
nothing worth while is .-iccompl jhcd
without sacrili.e and clfort. the com
mittee has kept the camp tires burning,
believing it would be most unfortunate
even criminal to !iit the light at
this Stage of the battle. In the alTairs
of Itoth state and nation the influence
of the farmer is f.-It as never before.
Now is the time f.r us farmers to show
our strength and give aid and eiicour
a,renient to those endeavoring to pass
laws favorable to agriculture. This is
the time to stick, or otherwise get stuck,
it is a woeful mistake to think that the
farmer has Ih-cii given a gold brick so
often that it has become a habit he will
not Quit. It to"' farmer has
waited until all our infant industries
have lcc!i served at the congressional
pie counter. This includes the rail

RAILROAD RATES and "TRAFFIC
UNITS"
Present freight and passenger rates are necessary
because of present railroad expenses, not because of
large railroad profits. In 1921, the N., C. & St. u
Ry., with the second largest receipts in its history,
lost money.
In 1917, the average amount received by the Rail
way for hauling one ton of freight one mile was 1.01
cents. In 1921 it was 1.47 cents, an increase of 45.5 .
Transportation costs per unit of service rendered in
the same period increased about 81.6".
Hauling a ton one mile is a 'traffic unit." Carrying
three passengers a mile is counted as an equivalent
unit. For each dollar paid out the N., C. & St. L.
in 1917 moved 132 of these units; in 1921, only 72
units.
Most railroad expenses are fixed by factors beyond
the control of the railroad : wages by the United States
Railroad Labor Board, the price of materials and sup
plies by market conditions. Every economy is being
practiced to reduce expenses, and all railroads have
applications before the Labor Board for a reduction in
wages. .
Until railroad operating expenses are reduced so
that more units of traffic can be moved for each dollar
that the public pays as rates, railroad rates cannot be
reduced without peril to the public interest in an
efficient transportation system.

Spanish Green Olive
Ring Sandwiches
The old question "What shall I
serve loses its terrors where you
have a bottle of stuffed green olives
and a few pecans stored safely
away for emergencies. The unex
pected pruests drop in for the eve
nine. The question "What shall I
serve?" almost forces "Why, hov
do you do!" out of your mind.
With green olives and pecans in
the refrigerator and coffee in .the
canister, the emergency is met:
Cream U pound butter and add
to it i4 pound chopped nut meats,
spread on thin slices of bread, cut
in ring with a doughnut cutter.
Cover each ring with stuffed green
olives, rat in slices, placing them
thickly so as to overlap. . Scatter
chopped pecan meats over the rings.
These are open sandwiches.
