RAILROAD HAS
A PRIVATE LINE
PENNSYLVANIA PLACES OF
FICES IN CLOSE TOUCH
WITH EACH OTHER.
Plymouth Railroad Men Can Now
Talk to any point Between Chi
cago and Pittsburg.

The PENNSYLVANIA Railroad COM
pany has installed a private tele-
phone system that extends from
Pittsburg to Chicago and connects
with all the company's offices along
the line. Connections with the Ply
mouth ticket Offices have been made.
The telephone system had been M
stalled not for the dispatching of
trains, but to place the many Offices
OF the company in closer touch with
the general offices in other matters
of business.
With the new system it will be
possible for local railroad officials TIC
confer with the higher officials with
more satisfaction than by telegraph.
Bv means of the private WIRE, the
service is much more efficient than
over public wires and it Is possible
TO make a call to Pittsburg, several
hundred miles away, reaching the
party within two Or three minutes,
time. 1t is the opinion OF railroad
men that the telephone Will some Time
in the future supplant the telegraph
system, but at any rate, the new
service has proven very useful TO the
company and will remain a Perman'

The attorney general is trying to
discover whether the operations of
the lumber magnates like the Weyer-

is said that they show the existence
of a number of lumber combinations

The ~labratory was established N

tory of the bureau of plant industry,
L. 5. Department of agriculture in
cooperation with the agricultural
extension department of Purdue Uni

has examined and reported upon SOB
samples. These reports give to the

these things the farmer should know
about the seed before he makes his
selection of seed to go on the
ground. Many a farmer is a heavy
loser because he puts in his seed with
out knowing these things, thereby
befouling his farm with weeds and
getting a poor stand by reason Of the

NEED OF NEW
ROAD SYSTEM
OLD PLAN OF YEARLY GRAD
ING PROVES TO BE WOE
FULLY DEFICIENT.
BY Little Activity Rural Lanes
May Be Kept Well the Year
Round

Indiana farmers are involved In a
well directed campaign for the bet
terment of country roads. In many
sections of the state roads are being
graded, drains established, perpetual
mud-hOles wiped out and with the
advent of the rigorous weather of
winter the lanes will be in a much
improved condition over former
years. The subject of maintenance
of earth roads appeals to the farmer
because a well kept road leading to
his farm enhances the value of his
land and also lowers the average
years work of the farmer as well
as his horses.
Any one who has given the sub
ject ever the most cursory examina-
ton will readily agree that the sys-
lem of repairing earth roads once a
yeaI is woefully deficient. The sys-
tenn of maintenance is at the bottom
of most of road trouble and it is USE
less to expect better roads as long
as 1t remains in vogue. With the
present system, roads deteriorate to
such as extent that all the available
road funds are required to put the
road back into as good condition as
1t was when last repaired. In this
way roads remain at a standsiill and
no true progress results.
In order to make good the greater
part of the year a system OF continu-
Gus maintenance must be adopted.
Many have argued that every farmer
should keep in repair a certain de-
finite piece of road near his farm,
but this system. although often pro-
ductive of a great deal of good, has
never been entirely successful. The
trouble is that the farmer has too
much important private business to
attend TO and can not always give
the road his attention when the CON
dition of the road requires it. Then.
too, this system is against the ten
dency of the times, which is for
division of labor and intense speci-
alization.
The present day farmer is a speci-
alist in the true sense of the word.
He no longer concerns himself about
the making of his shoes, clothing,
tools or other equipment: he no long
er worries about the bringing of his
mail, and the time is coming when
he should no longer bother about the
direct maintenance of his roads.
The farmers mail is brought to his
door and he takes it as a matter Of
fact. stopping to consider the sys-
TEN which brings it there only when
the mail for some reason or other
fails to appear. Likewise the ideal
system of road maintenance is one
by which the roads are kept in re-
pair as automatically but as surely
as the delivery of the rural mail.

HAS TALK
FOR MOTHERS
STATE HEALTH BOARD WOULD
FOLLOW EACH BIRTH RE-
TURN WITH LETTER.
DR. j N Hurry Prepares a Letter That
Emphasizes Statements Being
Made in Warsaw

Lying in the drawer of a desk in
the Office of DIR. J. n. Hurry, secre-
tary of the state board of health, is a
copy of a general letter addressed to
the mothers of Indiana. The mothers
have not received these letters and
probably will not receive them, for
the general assembly held down the
state boards appropriation so that
there is no money for expenses of
mailing. The letter was prepared
several months ago by the secretary
in the hope that by some manipula-
ton money could be obtained to COW
er such cost. The purpose of the let
ter is to instruct mothers of the state
in the prevention of diseases among
babies during the years preceding
school age. This letter emphasizes
the statements that are being made
by DIR. King and John Owens, who
are now conducting "Health Week.
in Warsaw.
TWENTY-FIVE per cent of the chill
dren born in Indiana die before they
are five years Old" said DIR. Hurry,
at is appalling, when one thinks of
the effect on the race. The deaths
too, are due chiefly to the fact that
many, many mothers do not know
| how to prevent the diseases which
Il A.lo .ff I,I,o- IVIao fLa ol,1l
grows sick a physician is summoned.
| Nothing will be left undone to save
it and sometimes it is saved. What
ought TO be done is to prevent the
conditions which cause the disease
and that is what we wish to accom-
plish by the letter.
"Few mothers know about the
proper ventilation of sleeping rooms
for children, about how certain foods
ought to be prepared, about the best
methods of dressing and the like.
They can not be expected to know
all these things as the skilled sani-
tartan or nurse knows them, because
they haven't had the opportunity to
learn. AS a result, many children
grow up amid grave sanitary dan
gers merely because they have
strong constitutions and are able to
defeat the attacks made on them.
But because three children survive
we ought not condone the loss of the
fourth and make no effort to save
it.
"The state board employs skilled
physicians, chemists and sanitarians
with the peoples money, and the
mothers of the state have a right to
demand that they receive the results
of the study we have made concern
inc the care of children. The chill.
dren. too, have a just right to de.
mand that their mothers be instruct.
ed in the best methods of protecting
them against disease in the weakest
parts of their lives
1t is our plan to publish a circu
lar letter setting out numerous rec
concentrations prepared by tn,
: board touching the care of children
, A copy of this should be sent t,
every mother whose name is return
t ed here in the monthly reports o
2 births. The board believes that hun
] dreds of children under the age o
five years could be saved annually i
these circulars could be placed IL
the hands of the mothers of tn
state at the proper time. A thou
sand dollars would pay the expense
of the proposed plan of disease pre-
: v%ention for a long time.

COFFEE RAISE
ADDS TO HIGH
LIVING COST
GREAT INCREASE OF S1.5O PER
SACK GOES INTO EFFECT
ToDAY-EFFECTS ALL
BRANDS
| Cheaper Grades of Bulk Coffee
Have Been Raising Steadily
for Past Two
Weeks.

Another contributing factor to the
high cost of living Is the recent adj
vance in the price of coffee, an I'M
portant article, the advance In the
last six months varying from two TO
six cents in the wholesale tradeAand
necessarily affecting the retail trade.
r. l.. Fenwick, travelling repre-
sentative of the w. +. Mclaughlin
Co. of Chicago. was in Plymouth
Saturday, and told a Tribune report.
er of the advance which went into
effect last Saturday. "All of
the coffee ~undergoes an advance
of from one half, to one and a half
cents per pound wholesale, by the
new scale which goes into effect to-
day, said the coffee man. Some OF
the cheaper brands suffer an advance
of $3.50 per bag, while the average
advance of bulk coffee is 10 cents
per hundred. This advance effective
today, is not the only increase, as
the price of coffee has been steadily
advancing for the past two weeks
| the cause of the advance is the
fact that the Brazilian government
where almost all of the coffee of the
world is raised, in order to advanc,
\ the price of coffee, borrowed seventy
five million dollars, from American
capitalists, bought up the coffee out
put, and are holding it while th'
price of coffee advances. This wa.
done, becauce of overproduction, thu
vaule of coffee was becoming reduced
to almost nothing, for the planter
and raisers.
As an example of the rapid In
crease in price of coffee, Mr.. Fenwicl
said that coffee which he sold eigh
teen months ago for 9 cents pc
pound. must now be sold for IL an,
One-fourth.
All grades of coffee have advance,
three cents per pound in the las
two weeks, said a grocer of Plymouth
The advance in local stores depende,
on the supply on hand. If an add
tional stock cost us more and neces
sarily raised u price.
One grocer who sold coffee for fiji
teen cents a month ago, nov sells tn
same brand at twenty cents, owing I

to be gradually advancing each day

raised the price three cents on tn
fifteen cent coffee in two weeks o

and % cent grades.
The higher grades 30 to 40 Ger

| The change in the prices on tn.

Banks and Crops.

There are LOB savings banks in
the United States. There are 9,473-
497 depositors. The total amount of
money to their credit is $3,91S, 314,-
pa, or an average of $420.45 per
depositor. That would be nearly $40
for every man, woman and child in
the United States.
A Nightly array of igures-a sum
of money so great. a number of de-
p%OsitOrs so large that it pals into
insignifeance the tabled wealth of
the of old. Yet they are
quoted here simply to call attention
to the mightier wealth that has been
produced in this country, this year,
upon the farms.
For, if all of these savings bank
depositors were TO withdraw their
deposits and take them to the farms,
they could not produce one-half of
that produce that has been raised this
good year 1910. They could buy the
corn alone, and have a little pocket
change left. They could not buy the
corn crop and then pay for the eggs
with which TO make corr bread. And
corn is not a universal crop in the
United States, there being large
areas upon which no corr whatever
is raised
These more than nine million saw
ings bank depositors have for years
many of them at least made sacrifices
to hoard up their savings. This
money un~questionably represents sac
rifices somewhere along the line
Millions and millions of dollars of il
have been accumulating for five, ter
and fifteen years. 1t represents tot
of course, working, long weary
months. Yet all of it combined re.
presents less than one-half the
wealth produced in a single year up.
on the farms of this country.
All of which goes to show that the
farms of this country, and the farm.
ers, have eve been appreciated al
their full value. AS soon as a visitor
from a foreign country lands in the
