"A Wilkes-Barre jury awarded
widow 1925 for the killing of her
husband at a railroad crossing, de-
spite the fact that the company had
previously paid $500 for damage
to an automobile at the same cross
ing. But before criticizing the jury

highly recommended and we trust

"A town is like large family.
We are all interested in each others
welfare, or should be. A cut-throat,
every man for himself policy means
ruin for any community. 1t means
retrogression and failure. The first
lesson that any family must learn Is

obeyed the more abundant will be
the towns prosperity. Stand by
each other and patronize the home
folks.
