ECHOES FROM HOME
WITH FAMILY NEWS
Interesting and Unique Plan Sue
cessfully Carried Out by
the Silver Family.
EXCHANGE EVERY WEEK
Beth Parents and Children Keep
Daily Record of Their
Home Affairs.

The parents of Girls Silver, city
engineer, have devised Il most unique
and interesting method by which they
are enabled to keep in close touch
and constant knowledge Of the wei
fare and doings of their children
whose duties and business callings
have made it necessary for them
to seek fields of labor far from their
parental roof and childhood surround
lngs.
At spare times during the week the
elder Stivcrs back in Pennsylvania
make record of home doings, news
of the ncighborhood and everything
that could be of interest and entertain
mcnt to those of their children WHO
are away from them in whose behalf
their efforts are directed. At the
close of the week the complete
record is neatly bound into little
book, generally Of about forty pages,
on the back of which is printed
"Echocs from Home, which is mailed
out every Sunday morning.
The ldchircn in return keep daily
records Of their experiences which is
also compiled in book form and en-
titled Echoes from Affair." and mailed
every Sunday.
This plan was adopted in August
1911, and in the two years no failure
has yet occurred 10y any of the par
ties to meet their obligations in the
way of sending in their weekly
echoes.

Predicts Success.

This decision Of Judge McPhcr-
sons means that | will win my suits
against the railroads and recover
for the State and all shippers and
passengers all the money which they
have expended during these nine
years.
II will 20 right ahead with my
suits in the State courts and within
Il short time master, will be APP
pointed and all persons will bc in
vitcd to file their claims with these
masters, but | Ito not want any claims
sent 10 me, but want al person, To
wait and file them with the masters.
In very short time, therefore.
! expect TO recover for all shippers
and passengers in Missouri the money
which was taken from them in excess
of the legal rate. The railroads are
paying back in Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. but
as usual they make fight in Mis-
souri, but it will do them little good,
since Judge Mcpherson has in effect
held that they must pay this money
back
1T seems as if Judge Mcpherson
could not resist an attack upon the
State courts where | have brought
my suits and, while he rclnquiShcd
jurisdiction, he prophcsicd all kinds
of trouble for claimants in the State
courts, but the people of Missouri
have suffered so much in his court
that they will avail themselves, with
pleasure, Of the opportunity to sue
in their own courts, and we do not
even care what he says about our
suits. We thank him for letting us
get out of his court We certainly
can have no worse luck than we had
with him for nine years.
Will Stay In Own Courts.
"Inasmuch as the railroads have
announced that they intend to fight
each claim to the bitter end, it nee
cssarily follows that no shipper can
hllblh W sun lil'nl anu Nuht bll' NllulCt
of having to go to the Supreme
Court of the United States. There
would not be enough in it for him.
Therefore, have sued for the State
of Missouri and also for each shipper
and passenger in Missouri, and |
think the State of Missouri will be
able to and should recover this money
for these shippers and passengers.
They cannot afford to litigate this
question with the railroads, and the
State should and will do it for them.
OF course if any shipper desires to
sue independent of the State he may
do So but the expense and trouble
will bc SO great that | think he will
gladly permit the State to sue for him.
do not anticipate any further trouble
We will win.
Mcpherson suggests that shippers
can do better by suing before him in
the federal court than before their own
circuit Judges in the State courts
| do not think Judge Mcpherson
really understands Missourians The
suggestion of Judge Mcpherson is
really funny and perhaps was intended
as Jest Nlissourians will always
stay in their own courts.

TELLS OF HORRORS AT BATTLE FRONT.

BORDEAUX, Sept Five are holding our own but at what a cost, '" declares a letter to the editors of Temps from a friend at the front "For four days we have been fighting without sleeping and sleeping so lit- tie that this morning fell asleep in an automobile. The bursting of shells in the road hardly caused me to blink my sand laden eyelids"
 The letter continues: All the hori- zon is in flames; all the villages with in twenty-five miles are burning and the night sky seems glittering with sparks.

STRUGGLE DEVELOPS INTO SIEGE OPERATION

LONDON, Sept 21.--The unparrell- ed struggle on the river Aisne which commenced about week ago Satur day has developed into siege opera tions. The two armies strongly en- uenched. are carrying on an artillery duel while the infantry make at tacks and counterattacks which are in the nature of sorties from the besieged fortress Occasionally one or the other gains a little ground. but it is SO little that opposing forces remaln in their trenches or take up positions in new trenches immediate ly behind those from which they are driven. It is now becoming the con viction of military men that nothing but outhanking movements can have any serious effect on either army.
 The Germans. according to their own official report have been strong ly reinforced. both on the right where General Von Kluck is making such a stubborn stand in almost i'm pregnable positions on the hills north O.

PASSENGER RATES
 WILL BE RAISED BY
 EASTERN RAILROADS
Interstate Rates, Both East and West, Will Be Effected-The
 Scale of Two and 0ne-Half Gents a Mole Will Regulate

WASHINGTON, Sept 21.-Tnter- state passenger fares in both eastern and western territories will be m- creased by railroads in the immediate future The new rates will be fixed on a basis of two and one half cents a mile, but will vary slightly in par ticular cases Preparation of the new passenger tariffs is now in progress and it is expected they will be ready to file with the interstate commerce commission by October l.
 Information was received by the commission that a straight fare be- tween New York and St Louis will be advanced S2.OO and that other fare to intermediate points will be based on this The fare between New York and Chicago will be based entirely upon a two and one-half cent mile rate and from these cities to Inter. mediate points there will be a simi- lar mileage charge. Because Of laws in some intermediate states fixing two cent fare for interstate traffic some difficulty Is expected working out the details of the proposed rate
 The action of the railroads in the direct result of the interstate com merce commissions suggestion which expressed the belief in a recent ad vance of freight rate decision, tha' passenger traffic ought to bear its share of the burden of supporting the railroads and the travelling public which demands speed, comfort. safe ty and luxury ought to pay for them.

ON THE BATTLE FRONT VIA PARIS. Sept 21.-The western wing cf the German line has been thrust bnck about seven miles during the last forty-eight hours as a sequel 10 continuous fighting night and day. Both armies. despite almost super human fatigue show utmost determin- ation not to yield an inch of ground without a terrible struggle. but fresh CT troops at the disposal of the allies have gradually forced the Germans to recede.
 The Turcos are adding daily to their record of daring achievements and late last night in a costly bayonet encounter they broke through the German lines and brought back four field guns the French troops had abandoned the previous day Thev seemed to disdain the murderous rife and machine gun fire poured in- to them. refusing to listen to 0ruc S who tried to keep them under cover.
 Cold steel again played a considera- ble part in the battle between enor. nous hosts fighting along the Aaisne, Disc and Woevre The most remark able point about the encounter is that troops scarcely see each other before they actually come together
 The recklessness displayed at the beginning of hostilities with its re- sultant carnage through the fire of machine guns has almost disappeared and every movement of attacking and defending troops is carried out with utmost caution under a movement of actual contact
 The Germans have suffered most in these engagements for the French troops from Africa and the British are adepts with the bayonet and they wat in the trenches until their ad yersaries arc so close that a quick cash brings them together
