obliged to sell their products. These continuous 

 Increases In freight and passenger rates result 

 In lower prices to the producers, who are obliged 

 to stand the freight from point of shipment to 

 the cities and terminals, and on the other hand 

 the consumer is obliged to stand the Increased 

 rates also. It therefore seems to us that the 

 public in general should demand that the rail- 

 roads reduce their expenses in the way of high- 

 salaried officials, train dispatchers, etc., also 

 the excessively high wages they are paying their 

 employees, so as to bring down the freight and 

 passenger rates where they belong, and we trust 

 you will use your influence and write to the 

 commercial clubs and all other influential parties 

 that should take these matters in hand, also 

 write or request your members or clients -to 

 write to the senators and representatives of their 

 district at Washington, as concerted action only 

 will have the desired result. 



W. W. BABNABD'S WILL. 



The death of W. W. Barnard, re- 

 ported in a recent issue of The Review, 

 will not affect the business of the W. W. 

 Barnard Co. Ralph B. Howe, who 

 has been in charge since the late Mr. 

 Barnard's illness, in 1915, will con- 

 tinue as manager of the affairs of the 

 company. 



To stabilize matters further, Mr. 

 Barnard's will leaves the stock of the 

 company to five trustees: Alice S. 

 Barnard, Emma J. Graham and Mary 

 E. B. Howe, sisters of the deceased, and 

 Ralph B. Howe and Alice Howe, chil- 

 dren of Mary E. B. Howe. The sisters 

 of Mr. Barnard are the immediate bene- 

 ficiaries of the trust, and through them 

 the estate is continued in trust for the 

 children of Mrs. Howe. Probate pro- 

 ceedings were rommenood Monday, 

 March 28. 



The trustees have ample powers to 

 maintain the business as it has been 

 conducted in the past. A directors' 

 meeting will be held early in April. Mr. 

 Barnard remembered several of his old 

 employees in his will, and C. D. Coven- 

 try, secretary of the company, was left 

 a small block of the stock.
