other revenue expense of the state.
The railroads of Kansas were
taxed in 1914 on properties valued
at 4,904,955-monies which in
years gone by was invested in these
great arteries of commerce by thous-
ands of men and women who live all
over the United States and in Europe
and without whose financial assist
ance the wonderful progress of our
proud commonwealth would have
been impossible.
During the year ending June 30,
1914, the railroads of Kansas en-
ployed 1898 men and paid out to
them in salaries $29, $3.50, 150-and
these millions did their full share to
create market for Kansas farm
products and to uphold the volume
of business of Kansas grocers, cloth
lers, dry goods men, and others who
depend upon public patronage.
During the year 1914, the rail-
roads of Kansas paid out nearly 3d.
100000 for coal-and the lion s
share of this went to Kansas miners,
of whom the railroads are by far the
largest patrons. So, too, in an aver
age year they consume more than
forty million gallons Of oil.
In other words, when the people
OF Kansas look at their railroads In
the light Of an industry-when they
look at the figures on the other side
of, the ledger-they- will find that
not only do the railroads return to
them in one way and another prac-
tically every dollar they collect with
in the state for freight and passen-
ger service. but that number of
lines are actually doing this business
at loss, while with others the mar
gin of profit is so small that 1t does
not begin to pay a fair return upon

Kansas and the railroads


1t is strange fact, but neverthe-
less true, that in times past the peo-
pie of the average state have not re-
garded their railroads as an indus
try"-and yet, next to agriculture,
there is not single Central or West
ern state in which the railroads do
not pay out more money for labor
and supplies than does any other sin

and rejoice that our cities are filled
with big factories with big pay rolls
which create market for farm pro-
duets-but we forget that more
workingmen's families depend upon
.pthe railroads for a living than upon
any other one industry in either the
average state or the nation and that
their welfare is therefore closely
linked to, that of the farmer and the
merchant7-not merely. because. they
furnish him freight and passenger
service, but because the millions they

Thus, for instance, the railroads
are the largest taxpayers in the state
of Kansas, While the returns are not
entirely complete for 1914, the rail-
road taxes for the year just closed
can safely be estimated at $780,

upon this time from 1850 the year

thinks of the experiment in govern
ment we are now trying. We shall
not be there to plead for either charity

that he may speak of what we are now

restricted to that term, for he may
elect to say CHASTITY failure, punk ex-

LOCKWOOD Is PROGRESSING
Has a Fine New School Building, Al
though an UnOrganized Township

Within the past few years there
have been many small towns in Maine
which have had good reason to point
with pride at a fine new building
erected for the better housing of its
school children. In no case, however,
has that feeling been more justifiable
than in that of the growing little viii
lage of lockwood, located at Kineo
Station, on Moosehead Lake. This
point Is the terminus of the Somerset
branch of the Maine Central Railroad,
completed only few years ago.
lockwood Is the part of the unor-
ganized township known as Rock
wood Strip lying nearest the lake. AS
yet it has no local government and
hence no town officers but its growth
is becoming so rapid that it is only 4
question of a short time before 1t Will
be organized into a plantation or in
corporated as a full fiedged town. AL
ready 1t has an excellent hotel as well
as a large and up-to-date store. The
Great Northern Paper Co. has a large
machine shop and storehouse here and
makes 1t the headquarters for its ex-
tensive operations in this section Of
the state. The American Realty Co.
has also recently installed a large
mill for the cutting of pulp wood.

which there are children of school
age. the State has for several years
maintained a school at lockwood

lockwood store, determined to see
what could be done 1t was felt that
a small, one-room schoolhouse, while
adequate for present needs, would
nevertheless soon be outgrown and
then it would be necessary to be-
gin over again and construct another
and larger building. In spite of what
seemed an impossible task in com
munity of not much more than 100
people, it was decided to attempt the
erection of a building of such proper
tons that it would provide sufficient
space for a considerable time to come.
The first real encouragement came
in the form of two cash contributions
of $500 each from the Maine Central
railroad and the Great Northern Pa
per Co, both of which, through their
large properties at lockwood, were
interested in the success of the pro-

A Gift to the Bride

The tribes of the earth. however
much they differ in every other parti-
cuIar. have one habit in common, that
of sending presents to the bride on
her wedding day Giving in mar
riage and the wedding ceremony may
differ in everything else, but the gift
to the bride is never lacking. A
nomadic beauty may receive horses
and camels, an African maiden may
be made happy by new nose ring,
while a daughter of Fifth Avenue and
Beacon Street will look for diamonds
and pearls but the custom itself is
universal Most of the habits which we
follow so persistently are subject at
times to criticism, but not this one.
All approve of these tributes of friend
ship, momentos of parental affection
or love tokens between bride and
groom. A wedding gift, however, is
more than all this. 1t evidences aD-
prevail of the marriage tie and is sig
nifcant of gratitude for the new fam
lily, founded in affection, and the new
home given to the world.
While none diapproVe of we'd
ding gifts, most of us tremble and
falter when obliged to select one. AS
an aid in this dilemma, may we not
in all seriousness suggest subscrip-
ton to this paper as the most pleas
ing, appropriate and useful of all gifts
to a daughter of Somerset on her wed
ding day. If a one year subscription
will not fully convey your best wishes,
make it for two, three, five or even
ten years. The first issue should
reach the newly welded pair during
their honeymoon, and in it they should
read together the news account of
their wedding Subsequent numbers
will tell the important events in their
lives thus united, and of new jewels
which may come to take their places
in the crown of domestic affection.
All ihSidchlS, odo VI Joylui, Will NC
likewise recorded, and the whole, aside
from being read with interest from
week to week, will form compen-
dunn of family history, increasing in
value as the years go by.
We find a very pretty custom has
been adopted by many young couples.
That of commencing a scrap book
with the account of the wedding cere-
mony clipped from the first issue of
the paper they receive. Other items
are clipped and added from time to
time and the whole is preserved to
be read with eager interest by their
children and children's children. A
piece of the wedding gown is some
times attached to the page opposite the
printed account of the wedding and
serves to make the record complete
The expense evolved in this scrap
book is next to nothing, and the lit
tie attention required is pleasurable
rather than irksome Any couple
adopting the custom may count upon
full repayment In reading, long after
the event, what the home paper said of
them on their wedding day.

Judge Helps
Holy Rosary
Make Peace

Judge George Ford's intervention in
the faction troubles of the Holy
Rosary society Of st. Cashiers church
Thursday afternoon brought an end
to the court case, patched up the dis
putes of the members of the society
and brought about a reorganization of
the Holy Rosary
The trouble in the society started
back in 1914 at the time that Father
Stanislaus Gruza was brought to South
Bend as pastor of st. Cashiers parish
One faction became angered at an
other and withdrew.
There was a little over $500 in the
treasury of the Holy Rosary society
which promoted a sick benefit fund.
This money was on deposit in the Jan
III Building 81 Loan Co.
Both factions attempted to get pos
session of the money. The banking
institution relieved itself Of liability
by fling an interpleader in the court
and depositing the money with the
court.
Thursday Judge Ford Suggested
compromise, the difficulties between
the factions being proved by the testi-
mony to be of a trivial nature. The
suggestion first met with objection
on the part of the attorneys, but the
women took matters into their own
hands. They decided TO arbitrate, ap-
pointed committees to get together
and make amends. and proposed a
joint meeting for Sunday.
Whereupon Judge Ford dismissed
the jury in the case and ordered that
the costs of the action be paid out
of the money in the treasury.
Wednesday with the calling of the
case the factions flocked to the court
room. Members of the one sat on
the east side and the members of the
other on the opposite side Of the
court room. No harmony between the
two appeared until Judge Ford's sug-
gestion for a mpromise
