Automobiles at County Fairs.

LIS this sport? Is it in any manner con.
genial to the purposes of county fair
The trouble is that the introduction OF
machines in these contests is utterly in.
congruous and out of place. The tracks
winch are made for the display of well.
bred horses are not in any way adapted
Tor the contest of locomotives. Tbev are
not made for that purpose. If our apri-
cultural interests depend upon the
superiority OF these machines, imported
from France or England, proper arrange.
ments should be made for their test. The
tracks should be banked and otherwise
adapted to the use of the "devils."
The fact is that for the present the an.
tomobile at county fairs hold a place
similar to that of the balloon-a snec-
tacle, not a utility Boston Post.
Another automobile horror is reported
from st. Johrsbury, at an agricultural
iair. II we are to have agricultural fairs
at all, why not call them such and keen
them such ? But it we are to have mid.
way shows and hippodromes and auto
mobile contests, then let us see to it that
decently safe conditions for such things
are provided. The racing of automob;jes
at speeds of so miles an hour on q chean
halt mile track is suicidal. Such racing
Is wanton carelessness of life at best h,,t
.ne law ought to prevent the extra
hazardous methods such as caused the
st. Johnshury fatality, If no more

was nervous and grew constantly worse.

heart and my blood became in wretched
condition. / felt tired and languid all
the time and was hardly able to get
around at my work.
"None of the medicines that tried
made any differencein my health. Twas
nearly discouraged when I heard from
my uncle, Mr. Brandon, ST., of Logoch,
Manitoba, telling me that he had used
DIR. Williams Pink Pills with the great
est benefit for nervousness. Then I de-
cided to try them myself, with the re-
suit that, after taking two boxes, I found
L was much better. A few boxes more
made me feel like an entirely different
person and now I am able to do nv
work with ease. All my friends know
what good DR.. Williams Pink Pills for

A Plea for Good English.

A writer in the Saturday Evening Post
makes the excellent suggestion that
instead OF acquiring a smattering of
French or German the American should
acquire knowledge of his native tongue
Here are some extracts from the article
which is entitled what Americans
Should Study"
All OF us will have to read write and
speak the English language. And how
many OF us will ever be able more Than
to read, write and speak at ii?
There never was such a language as
the English, especially since we Amer.
cans have got at it with exploratiye and
inventive minds. To know how to nro.
nouuce its wonderful words, to under.
stand exactly what they mean. to have
a large and well-selected stock of them
IN our vocabulary-there is a liberal
alround education, one that no man or
woman could have without being Justly
noted everywhere as a person of superior
intelligence. IVA

Railroad News.

The Boston & Maine passenger bust
ness for the past month is stated to hav.
been the heaviest in the history of tn.
company, and during the last week il
particular practically all of the through
trains have been running to their full
capacity. The freight business as well
has been of large proportions, and there
has been no falling off since the announce.
ment of the increase in rates.
The cost OF conducting transportation
during the year was largely increased
more particularly with respect to the
coal used, as is shown by the fact that
increase IN the cost of fuel over the pre-
ceding year was 81. 1896. This alone
is equal to per cent on the outstanding
common stock.
The balance available for dividends
AFTER the payment of expenses, fixed and
DIVIDEND charges tor the year ending
June 30, was $1,793,9O9 The annuel
dividend requirement on the preferred
stock at per cent is $18S,9SS, which
would leave as available for the common
stock S1,6O4,921. Dividends paid on
the common stock during the year ag-
gregated $1,660, 54S, which left a bal
ance over and above dividends, charges,
taxes and expenses of $22, 1856.
The gross earnings of this system for I
the past II months ending June 80 were
$34, 266 COS, which is an increase of
", 500, 792over the year previous. Two.
thirds OF the increase was due to freight
earnings. During the past year So loco.
motives and 1921 freight cars have been
added to the equipment which now COP

1901, 1902 and the current year is inter
