CLAIMS ROADS have
padded" ACCOUNTS

Chicago, Aug. 30-Nineteen law
yers, representing big western railway
systems were present yesterday when
the Interstate Commerce Commission
began its hearing of testimony bear
ing on the adavnce in railroad rates
scheduled to go into effect November
IS. The hearing involves POP trans
portation lines in western trunk line
trans-Missouri and Illinois freight
committee territory, as we'll as the
shipping interests.
According to President Miller of the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, the
largest lines will not urge poverty as
necessitating rate advances. Mr..
Miller said that business necessity
and expedient, rather than verge of
bankruptcy" arguments will be made.
The shippers have been organized to
fight the proposed schedule for some
time. The campaign is being direct
ed by joint subcommittee of traffic
experts, headed by F. B. Montgomery
of Chicago.
The shippers claim that the rail
roads have padded records of their
operating expenses in order to make
it appear that an advance in freight
traffic is demanded by common JUS
tice to investors in their securities.

TAFT urges PARTY
FACTIONS To UNITE

New York, Aug. 3O.-The feature of
the Republican campaign textbook
President Taft's letter-was given out
her yesterday The lett4r is address
ed 10 William NcKinley chairman of
the congressional committee, and is
! pitched to show reasons why the Re-
publican congressional candidates
should be upheld
The president urges Republican fac
tons to get together. He says that
while the difference broke out during
the last session of congress, yet, new
er, before, in its history, has the Re-
publican party passed so much pro-
gressive legislation.
Mr.. Taft warns that with a Demo-
cratic majority in the house, it is
reasonable to suppose that the Repub-
lican doctrine of protection would be
rejected.
The president says that the last
congress was unable to carry out all
the campaign pledges of the Republi-
can party. He says that another ma
jority in congress is necessary to en-
act the complete program of legisla-
ton Mr.. Taft devotes a great part
of space in his letter to the record
of he last congress as compared with
the promises made by the Republican
party when he was running for the
presidency.

SAVE
WHERE YOU SPENT

Why Is It that you do not
seem to get along as we'll as
you think you ought? Salary
gone before you know it.
Have to go in debt before the
end of the month for groceries
and the like. Nothing ahead
now, and seemingly no
prospects for saving. If sick
ness or misfortune should come,
what would you do?
Let us advance a theory:
Perhaps you EARN enough,
but SPEND too much.
And let us suggest a remedy:
An accurate account of every
thing you receive and spend
tells you your financial condi-
ton from day to day.
Deposit your income with US.
Then pay by check for every
thing you buy. When your &C
count begins to run low. cut
down expenditures, so that you
will have little left when your
next deposit is made. Deposit
this little surplus in the Savings
Department as a separate &C.
count.
In this way you will forge
ahead, become independent, and
live in comfort.
Begin NOW.

Bristol. Va. December 1T.-"The
Back Home Movement" inaugurated
by W. D. Roberts. assistant industrial
agent of the Carolina Clinchdeld and
Ohio Railway, assumed definite shape
when an invitation was forwarded from
that railroad TO the Industrial agents
of the Southern roads to meet In con-
ference at Altapass, N. c., where ways
and means will be devised for a co.
operative movement by ell tho roads,
with the following end in view:
/. To induce as many as possible Of
the thousands OF Southern people who
have emigrated to other States to re.
turn to the States of their nativity.
2. To prevent further emigration. as
far as may be possible, from the South
ern States.
3. To induce an inflow of population
from the Northwestern States, where
the winters are long and extremely
cold. and provisions for clothes and
| fuel incur a heavy annual outlay of
money.
Mr.. Roberts has succeeded In arous-
I ing general interest in all parts of
| the United States, and has done more
| during the last six months towards
making known nationally the advan-
tages of the South than has ever been
accomplished perhaps, by any similar
agency.
He is sending out carefully prepared
statistics showing the money that can
be made in the Southern Appalachian
region by growing fruit, poultry, gar
den vegetables, corn, wheat, clover, al

The next morning they could hardly

were both on hand before the doors were

they found the magazine wouldn't arrive
until 20 O'Clock. That was four hours 10

But when Hal was going out to chapel
the next morning. whom should he meet
on the doorstep but Hans, with his grip
in his hand and looking glum and dis
couraged.
What, did they get you so soon as all
this?" asked Hal.
''Oh, don't talk to me any more about
the delights of New York" answered
Hans. and that was all than Hal could
get out of him about his trip FOR nearly
three days.
BY sunday evening, though. things
boys were both in Hagners room. Hal
was writing his weekly letter home,
telling his folks all about his troubles OF
the past few days and also some of the
good things that had happened during
the week.
Hans had finished his letter with a
sigh. as he evidently wasn't quite over
his head back against the cushions in
the Morris chair and was thinking. All
at once he said; Il have letter here
from my sister that ] got yesterday, but
haven't opened yet, because IL probably

he turned 10 laughing TO himself and

door. and she went down stairs 10 pay
him of. and that's the last we saw OF
him or any part of the ten dollars, and
he took advantage OF the rain and my

excited and told me about that. and !
commenced 10 get madder than ever
Also j kept getting warmer Finally
sister came and said that she had sent
for the Janltor to come UP With mon

while we were waiting for the jani-
tor the wedding had taken place and the
news got around that one OF the guests
was locked In the bathroom. That broke
up the reception more or less and the
whole crowd came over 10 the other
apartment. and stood In front OF the
bathroom door, to advise me how TO get
out. After half an hour the ianltor
