Buckhannon, W. Va, Jan. 1.-TWO
students at the West Virginia Wesley

ishment is said to be awaiting others

smoked They pleaded for another

Regarding Delay Of Pas.
SGDgGr Trains

AS the result of numerous complaints
from all sections of the state about the
delay of passenger trains, and the fail
uIe of station agents to report delays
properly, the Railroad Commission will
issue a supplementary order this week
directed toll all the railroads in the
state, requiring that they shall tell the
truth on their bulletin boards as to
delayed trains.
The commission will require that
where a train is an hour late it shall
be so posted, instead of making it 20
minutes late; then making it 40 min
.utes after the first twenty have elapsed
With the beginning of the winter
season there will be a larger number
of delays and the commission will in
sist that the exact status of trains be
reported at the stations at which they
make stops.

HIGH TARIFF
men ARE
NOT WANTED
TO TELL Their TALE OF woe
Congress Will Give Them
SCant Hearing

Washington, D. c., January 6.-Wit-
nesses who came to demand higher
tariff rates than those in force at
present or who seek to have the rates
of the Payne-Aldrich bill retained IN
the new tariff bills the Democratic
majority proposes to pass in next
springs special session of Congress
will probably not be listened to with
much patience by Democrats of the
Ways and Means Committee during the
tariff hearings, which begin today
These Democrats point out that it will
be entirely useless for manufacturers
or others interested in the maintenance
of the existing tariff rates or who
would like to see rates increased to
attempt to bring the majority of the
committee around to their views. The
Democratic party has been solemnly
pledged by the Baltimore platform and
by the utterances on thes lump of its
candidates to a substantial reduction
of the rates of the Payne-Aldrich act
all along the line. Therefore, there is
no chance of success for high protec-
ton advocates, and they will save Their
own time and that of the committee by
remaining away. The bills the Ways
and Means Democrats will present to
the House will provide for reduction in
all duties, in accordance with the
terms of the party pledges. That much
is irrevocably settled, at least SO fer as
the House is concerned.
But witnesses will be welcomed who
can aid the committee in correcting
errors of classification or those which
would discriminate in the imposition
Of revenue tariff rates against the in
dustry or branch of an industry. The
committee is anxious that it's bills
shall be fair OF all interests and in
dustries and as symmetrical and we'll
worked out as 1t is possible to make
them. 1t will, therefore, welcome all
witnesses who wish in good faith to
aid in perfecting bills that will carry
out the pledges of the Decorate party
to give the people relief from the pres
ent excessive high and often inequit-
able tariff rates while causing the
least possible disturbance to business.

PUTTING SCREWS ON
FOOD LAW ViOLATORS
Commissioner MGthVin Send.
ing Out Registry Blanks

Atlanta, January 6.-Pure Food Com
missioner P. A. Methvin of the Georgia
State Department of Agriculture is
sending out the registration blanks to
the various feed mixers throughout the
country in order that they may register
fedstuffs which they will offer for
sale in 1918.
Previous to the enactment of the
pure food law and its strict enforce
ment Georgia was known as the dump
ing ground of feeds and foods mprop-
.erly branded and adulterated. But I'M
der the operation of this law it is re-
.quired that before a branded feed can
be sold in Georgia it's name, ingredi-
ents and amount of food protein, fat
and fiber must be registered with the
commissioner
The Georgia law requires that the
amount of protein must run high, to
qualify, and in order to insure a suffl-
.cient amount OF protein a majority of
the mixers use that best known and
least expensive source of protein on
the market cotton seed meal. On this
Mr.. Methvin sand:
There are over 1000 brands of feed
registered in Georgia and | believe /
am safe in saying that over half OF
these use as one of their ingredients
cotton seed meal. This is an acknowl-
edgment to the world that no etter or
more Inexpensive form of pratein, 50
necessary in the feed of live stock can
be found than in our own cotton seed
meal"

JUST THROWING OUT A HINT

The children OF a Boston Sunday

was to be devoted to charitable pur-

trtbuton each child was called upon
to express an opinion as to how it
should be spent.
The teacher explained to them that
there were several charities which
would be glad to receive the fund,
either in Boston or among the for
eign missions. She had impressed
ueon them, however, that the money
might be spent to good advantage
among the sick and needy children
OF their own parish. Several bright
speeches on the subject had been
made, when one seven-year-old boy
arose and, evidently bearing in mind

beginning at home, said:

Striking Facts About Canal.

Time required to 60 through the
canal, from ten to twelve hours.
Freight will be charged $1.2o ton.
passengers are free.
American coast-wise ships may pass
through free Of all charges.
The canal will save 5000 miles be-
tween New York and San Francisco.
New York is brought 5000 miles
nearer Valparaiso and the west coast
Of South America.
Our Atlantic seaports are 1000
miles nearer Australia.
The distance to the Philippine Is
lands is not reduced materially.
Bulk products like wheat, lumber
minerals, wool, hides and wines will
get lower freight rates through the
canal from Pacific ports.
Eastern machinery, textiles, manu-
factures and finished products will
enjoy cheaper rates to Pacific ports.
Staple products OF the South, cot
ton, iron, coal, lumber and ship sup
plies will have similar advantages to
the Orient and pacific ports.
immigration will be DETECTED in
large numbers from New York to Pa

The cost of operating the canal will
exceed 100000 annually.
About $500 employees will Be re-

and operating expenses approximately
$15.o00,000 revenue per annum will
be needed.
Traffic experts estimate that for
the first few years the average an
nual tonnage will be 1O,0OO,0OO tons,
not enough at the $1.2O rate to make
the canal self-supporting.
The rates charged vessels are the
same as those at Suez.
The government will monopolize
