All along the Berkshire division 1t the crossings the railroad company has caused to be erected snow signals, co that when the biz new snow blow comes calling down the track some morning after . heavy fall of snow 1t wont col lids with the planking at the crossings, but can be raised to avoid disturbing them. This new blow is said to be . great track clearer, and the railroad company in its desire to have the travel iug public accommodated, and not with belatsd trains, has secured the beat kind of machinery to do t with. Doubtless the experiences of the past two winters with tteir severe storms were quite sufiicient proof that this nsw blow would be just tde right thing In the right place If placed on thls divIsion.

an intimate friend of President Dole

You know what the effect OF the late
war was ON Japan. 1t made her Jubi-
liant and self-confident. She has 40, 600
citizens In the islands who have set
tied there. Besides. the Japanese are
restless under the Hawaiian govern
ment because the government does not
allow Orientals to participate In public
affairs. The balance of the population.
however, Is allowed to vote. with some
property and educational limits. Pres
