The large barn owed by Taylor

rs contents burned to the ground. The
light from the BARN illuminated the

easily visible as lbrigl' light on the

of seven miles. The barn was large

with nay. No grain was stored in the

total loss of the barn with its con-
tents will reach $4,000

WAR AGAINST
GRADE CROSSINGS
INDIANA RAILROAD COMMITS
SION WILL URGE LEGISLA-
TON ON THIS SUBJECT
Next Genera Assembly Will Be
Asked to Pass Laws to Further
Safeguard Public.

The Indiana Railroad Commission
will repeat the demand on the state
Legislature for legislation that will
finally abolish the grade crossings in
the state. To enforce the needs of
such legislation the fatalities during
the quarter ending with June will be
quoted During the three months
there were twenty persons killed on
crossings of the steam roads and If
teen by electric cars by the same
means. The number of casualties was
double th2 fatalities.
The Legislation sought last winter
was law that provided for the elm
inataon of one grade crossing to ey-
cry hundred miles Of track. the ex-
pense to be divided between the rail
road company and the county in
which the crossing is located, at
ratio OF rs per cent to the railroad
and % per cent. TO the county This
law failed TO pass, and will be recon-
mended again by he commission.
The work of. making safe pa,ssen-
ger travel along lines suggested and
ordered by the railroad commission
Is progressing rapidly. An order by
the commission directed that all rail-
roads earning more than $1,000 a
track mile should place plars and
specifications OF a block system with
the commissioners by November 1.
According to Judge J. F Mcclure.
member OF the commission. every
railroad in the state OF any import
ance has already installed such a sys-
tenn. Ore road, the Lake Shore &
Michigan Southern, has III <>Itomstic,
and the other lines, the manifold
blocking system.
The American people" says Judge
Mcclure, ARE nation OF speed low
ers. They want to go fast for the
sake OF going fast. There is but lii
tie doubt that the faster a train is in
motion the greater is the Inability to
wreck, because the faster the train
goes the less is ITS weight on the
track; It IS literally flying. Thus a
poor bit OF track, something on the
raIls, dropping brake shoe-any hit
lie things inducive 10 dera7lments
THE only course seems 10 be TO
surround this speed with as much
safety as possibility the elimination
of grade crossings, by better rail
ROADS and roadbeds and by more care
IN blocking trains through advanced
systems
The speed OF trains is tremendous
these days Some rains GO through
this state on filfty-1mile schedule. in
clifding stops, which means in few
stretches a speed of ninety miles an
hour. But that is what the people
want, and | can't predict legislation
curtailng the speed Cd trains. except
that wihich is passed by cities and
towns. Our only course is 10 sur
round TINS speed with as many safe
guards as possible"

Petroleum Butter.

Will the Standard Oil Company :
next move result i, driving diaries
and packing house butter factories
out OF business? 1t is announced that
the company's chemists have discov-
cred a way to maize butter out oh
petroleum.
The oil is converted into kind II
milk, which is said to- possess a larg-
er percentage OF butter fat than cows
milk. This petroleum milk is then
run through high-speed separators
and the butter ia is extracted. A
plant to manufacture the product for
the market will be started at once in
New Jersey
The alchemiat's dream of changing
the baser metals into gold lacks in.

commercial products from petroleum

products is doubtless a long wa,
from being attained and the wionde,
Is that many OF them are so differenr
from the original material, Including
powerful drugs, illtrminants, disinfect
ants, preservatives, dyes, etc.

LOOK FOR CAR SHORTAGE.
Commerce Commissioner Believes
Movement of Crops Will Tax
Railwsys--Predicts Big Year.

Washington, August 1s.---A heav-
aer business than ever had beer
Known in a single year is looked fol
by Chairman Knapp of the Interstate
Commerce Commission for Ameri.
{ an railroads during THE present fs-
{ al year.
The serious situation anticipated
NOT only by Judge Knapp burt by 9th
er officials of fine commissi sion AND
by operating railroad men generally
Is that there may be a shortage OF
cars The crop prospects are consid-
cred so bright that 1T is probable the
railroads and other transportation
companies may be taxed beyond their
cSpacr5y to handle the freight that
Will be offered to them.
Already, according to figures sub
mitted to the Interstate Commerce
Commission, the railroads, in consid-
cradle numbers, have recovered from
the low business pressure of a year
and hall ago and now are handling
almost as mtsch traffice as they 'har
died in the rush months of 1907.
Record May be Broken.
In the view of Chairman Knapp
The carriers are now in better posi-
tron to carry freight offeed than they
were un 1907, and he, said today that
IT would not surprise him ii that
years record is broken this year.
Generally IT is expected that a
shortage of cars will result this fall
from the increased business of the
carriers and some embarrassment by
shippers may be Hooked for as a con-
sequence.

the requirements for the presentation
OF science subjects.
The Plymouth High School has al
ways occupied prominent place
among the secondary schools i'll he
state, In 1878 the Board of Trustees
or Indiana adopted the following res
olutionS:
"In order to bring the University
into closer connection with the High
Schools on the State, we recommend
the following plan. a certihCa (
from certain High Schools (to be
named hereafter by the State Board
OF Educ ation) OF a satisfactory ex-
animation sustained in the prepara-
tory course will enfitle the bearer 10
admission to the Freshman class" AT
meeting of the State Board, in the
following August, a circular letter
was sent out TO High Schools to as
certain what schools were qualified
to do preparatory work. High School
commissions were printed and in the
spring 3f 1874, 81 schools were com.
miSioned. among them Plymouth In
April 1875, the Beard on Educat non
placed Purdue University in affilia-
ton with commissioned High
Schools. Since that time all State
Institutions have been placed on 6he
same basis as Indiana and Purdue
University, and from time to time de-
nouninatIonal and private schools
nave been added to the list, until now
all schools OF Higher Educ ation in
the State receive gi aduates from
commissioned High Schools without;
examination.
In addition to being Commissioned
the Plymouth High School has re-
Gently Obtained privileges from High
er Institutions which are recognized
only in OUR large and best High
Schools and we now nave the same
advantages as the best institutions OF
our country.
In May 1908 Plymouth High
School was admitted for the first time
TO the accredit d II OF the North
Central Association of Colleges and
Secondary schools. The High School
was again admitted to this list in
Apria 1909 Graduates of the High
school ON thus lis: may enter such in
srtitutions as the University of Mchi-
gan, University of Minnesota and
University OF WISCONSIN without ex-
animation.
Further recognition was given in
April 1909 wher Plymouth was plac-
ed on the affiliated list of the Uni
versity on Chicago. This gave Tin ad-
dition to dlre privileges OF being a
member OF the accredited 1ist) grad
yates OF the High School, scholarship
advantages and am opportunity for
High School teachers to pursue post
graduate courses at title expense.
School int rest has been much
stimulated throughout the County,
due to competition in athletics and
oratony. Plymouth High School has
belonged to the Indiana High School
Athletic Association since the time
OF its organization 1t is also a mem
Der OF the Northern Indiana High
