Christmas Shipments Land Safely for Soldiers in France
A plan to stabilize livestock receipts and prices in Chicago went into effect last Monday showing 27 000 head arrived and 22 000 the next day with previous weeks at 40 000 and 9 000. Railroads praised for war effort and rail service committee leaders stressed efficient handling to aid the war. Over 600 000 parcels weighing about 1 000 000 pounds were shipped to soldiers abroad before December 5 with 2 500 000 pounds in US camps, as railroads urged early Christmas parcel shipments.
