BILL,
Says Bond Issue Was Urged.
Mr. Macfarland, as early AZ January.
1902, in a hearing before the committee
on appropriations. and frequently there
after. speaking for the board Of Com
missioners with reference to provision
for what he termed extraordinary ex-
penditures,' urged that they should be
taken care of by continuing the ad-
vances from the Treasury, or by au-
thorizing an issue of bonds to cover
the Districts obligations in the matter
of these extraordinary expenditures.
recommended as early as 1900 that pro-
vision be made for certain extraordinary
improvements by the issue of bonds or
by advances out Of the Treasury. 1t
is likewise true that a year after Con-
gress passed the law to make advances
out Of the Treasury the Commission
ers. speaking through Mr.. Macfarland,
again urged continuance Of advances out
Of the Treasury or an issue OF bonds,
and again in December, 1902. he char
acterized the system of advances adopt
ed by Congress as 'makeshift legisia.
tion,' and stated that he knew OF no
other place where such projects (re-
ferring to what he termed extraordinary
expenditures) were not provided for by
bond issues and again characterized
the system Of advances from the Treas
ury as 'makeshift provisions. A man
would be dense. indeed. in my Judg-
ment, If. in the light of this history. he
did not incline to the opinion that Mr..
Macfarland and his associates. for whom
he spoke, suggested an issue Of bonds
to cover so-called extraordinary i'm
provements in the District of Columbia.

DIR. KALBFUS HEARS
DEER ARE PLENTIFUL.

While the State Game Commission
has not been successful in getting
a decision upon the buck with
horns" provision of the deer pro-
lection laws during the past twelve
months, the officials of the commits
sion do not believe that any trouble
will be experienced this year with
hunters shooting any deer other than
those allowed by law. The open sea-
son for deer started Friday to con-
tinue until December l. One hunt
er may not kill more than one deer
each season and each deer killed
must be a buick with horns visible
above the hair" Killing of does and
bucks less than a year old is abso-
lutely forbidden. For the past year
a case of alleged violation has been
pending in the Allegheny county
courts. A DR.. Dickinson, of that
city, shot deer in the northern part
of the State which, it is alleged, was
a male fawn which had no horns, al
though the pedicle of the horn was
there. The case will hinge on
whether the pedicle is the horn or
not. Efforts to have a trial the past
year have failed, but the case is ex-
pected to be heard early next month.
1t is largely an amicable proceeding.
Reports to Chief Game Protector
Joseph Kalbfus from all parts of the
State are that game of all kinds is in
greater abundance this year than at
any time in a generation.

NEW AUTOMOBILE TAGS.

The first issue of Pennsylvania s
automobile license tags for 1913
will be made by the automobile di-
vision of the state highway depart
ment in December, almost two weeks
ahead of the time of issue in the
past, and it is expected to break all
records for the first issue. The Ii
censes will be sent out as rapidly as
possible owing to the fact that on
January l, 1913, days of grace will
be abolished.
The latter order means that per-
sons failing to display 1913 tag on
and after January 1, will be liable
10 arrest. Heretofore thirty days
have been allowed to owners in
which to procure license but next
year no car can be run on New
Years day without one of the olive
green tags.
The division is now receiving ap-
plications for registration of cars,
blanks have been issued to practical
ly every person whose name appears
on the books. Those who have not
received them will get the papers
shortly. No tags will be reserved
except a few for state. Applications
will be filled in order in which they
are received. The license tags will
be packed up and marked with name
of consignees as soon as possible af-
ter applications are received and will
be held in the capital until December
/. The first order for tags will be
sixty thousand.
On January /, 1918, joint owner
ship of cars will be done away with
as far as registering is concerned
and the name of but one person can
be given as owner. All others who
desire to operate the car must take
out chauffeur licenses. 1t has been
found that the privileges carried by
joint ownership were much abused.
On some applications for registra-
| ton a dozen names were given as
owners and all claimed the right to
| operate the car.

has had a continuous prosperity dur
ing the past fifty years.
Resolved, That we approve of the

FAST CHICAGO TRAINS
WILL BE RUN SLOWER.

The Pennsylvania and the New
York Central railroads announced
recently that their eighteen-hour
train service between New York and
Chicago would be discontinued tenn
porarily on Nov. "a and while the
trains would not be Withdrawn, the
time OF the journey would be length
ened. The reason assigned for this
change was the distractions and de-
lays to operation in the Winter
months. The eighteen-hour New
York-Chicago service, 1t was said,
would be resumed in the spring.
Another reason for the change,
however, was the attitude of the
State Railroad commission of In
diana. A dispatch from Indianapolis
said that safer and slower trains
were to be operated through Indiana
as a result of the commission's ac-
tivity, the change to become effec-
tive throughout the state on Nov.
"a, when a half hour would be added
to the schedule of Pennsylvania and
Big Four trains between Indianapo-
lis and Chicago and the eighteen
hour trains between Chicago and
New York, which operate across
Northern Indiana, would run on
twenty-hour schedules. The order
was not compulsory, the dispatch
said, but the commission brought
about the change by agreement on
the part of the roads involved.

COMMERCE COURT IS TO DIE.
Judges In Taft's Tribunal Won't Lose
Jobs, However.

The United States commerce court.
a creation of the Taft administration,
will probably die with the administra-
ton that brought it into being.
The last session OF congress apprO-
priated only sufficient amount OF
money to pay the expenses OF the court
until March 4. This was done after
a conference with the president at
which an agreement was reached that
If President Taft were reelected the
Democrats would accept 1t as a vindi-
cation of his action in recommending
the creation OF the court and fighting
to preserve it and would continue to
appropriate money for it's expenses.
The commerce court judges will not
go out of Office as judges Of the Unit
ed States circuit court The final form
Of the legislation as 1t passed retained
them in office largely because some OF
the ablest constitutional lawyers In
congress doubted the power of the SEN
ate and house to legislate federal
judges out of office.

NEWSPAPER ADS.
BEST, SAYS BANKER.
"Go Into Every Home and Are Read
By ALL

In speaking before the members of
the Mississippi Bankers association
r. l.. Gurney, in charge of the saw
ings department OF the Common
wealth Trust company OF St. Louis,
characterized the different devices
and advertising plans sold to bank
ers of the United States as lemons" ="
Some of these lemons are pro-
grams, dignified announcements of
simply the banks name, capital and
location; special writeups and spas
modic instead of constant use of
newspaper space, he said.
He outlined plans for writing
bank advertisements and urged the
bankers present to do this work
themselves. He used a stereopticon
to reproduce the newspaper adver-
tisements used by the Commonwealth
Trust company and showed many
which had brought in depositors to
open savings accounts. In speaking
of the value of using newspaper
space only he said:
" The first step in taking up the
advertising for your bank, and it is
a step of paramount Importance, Is
to decide to spend your appropria-
tion in buying newspaper space only.
You will find it difficult to adhere
rigidly to this decision, but it will
pay well to do so.
Your bank is for all classes of
people, and there is no way to so eff
fectively present appeal for new
business to all classes as in the col
umns of the local newspaper. 1t not
only reaches all classes, but goes into
every home, where it is read by al
most every member of the family.
The daily newspaper is a controlling,
likewise a compelling, factor in the
| daily life of every man and woman,
and we ought really to say every boy
and girl, for children are omnivor-
GUS readers nowadays.
" The shortest and most direct
route to the attention of all the peo-
pie is through the columns of the
newspaper, for it is daily read by
business men, professional men, mer-
| chants, artisans-all alike. Men and
women, too, want their favorite
newspaper the very minute it comes
off the press. for they crave the news
| served up red hot. They also buy it
to read the advertising columns"

WINTER TOMATOES.

Gather smooth, ripe tomatoes in
the fall. Select those without brok-
en- skins, wipe them off clean and
put them in stone Jars; melt lard, let
it cool and pour it over them, cover
ing them well; set jar in cellar
When taking them out for use, save
the lard, melt and pour back over
the remaining ones. In this way you
have fresh tomatoes all winter.

THANKSGIVING.

Ohio State Journal: President
Taft's Thanksgiving proclamation
sounds just as If he had been elected.
1t is the right spirit from the first
word to the last. The prosperity of
the country-its health, its plenty,
it's industry, its trade-is not streak
ed by a single regret. 1t makes one
feel like giving thanks. 1t makes
anticipations of full boards and hap
by faces all around them. One can
almost smell the steaming turkey
and feel the golden gov of the
pumpkin pie when reading the warm
words of the proclamation.

REVIEWS WORK OF
THE CHURCH DURIkG
THE PAST YEAR

Last Sunday morning the capacious
auditorium of the First Presbyterian
church was filled to overflowlng with
deeply interested congregation
which listened to strong, practical
discourse by the pastor, Rev. Geo. F.
Sewer, who chose for his text Jeho-
vah's words to Moses, go Forward" "
The setting of the lesson was happily
and logically considered and used as
"a foundation and rallying cry for
the church and congregation of which
the speaker is pastor Rev. Sewer re-
viewed at length the financial condi-
ton of the church a year ago and the
work done during the last twelve
months. He told of the difficulties in
the way year ago; of the obstacles
to be overcome; Of the barriers, him
derances and discouraging features
that threatened the progress of the
church and its benevolences.. But now
with the dawning oil a brighter day
all difficulties have been swept aside.
The financial obligations of the church
have been more than met; the deot
of the congregation wiped out and
the mortgage with its caneer-like
hold will be burned at the beginning
OF the new fiscal year With all of its
debts cancelled and all of its agencies
in condition for active. aggressive
work the church will start out on its
new. year under the most favorable
auspices in its history and with aa
ambition tc accomplish greater things
than has hitherto been possible with
the handicap OF debt upon 1t.
