A trip to the new baseball park Of
the new Newark Feds at Harrison,

abouts pleasant surprise. The
players also share in the surprise"
which is the discovery of baseball
park without a sun field. The new

toned by the French and British au-
thorities whether military exigencies
would permit weakening of the
western battle front. Hence prob

Important Gains Result.
Certainly there is more probability
that important gains will result from
Turkish operations than from such
engagements as those at Neuve Cha
pelle and between the Meuse and
Moselle. Doubtless the disappointing
outcome of all the Western Often
sives since the battle of Flanders has
had determining influence on the
apparent decision to transport large
army to Turkey. The time now must
be drawing near when the opening
Eastern campaign will take prece-
dence in interest over the fighting
at the battle fronts.

DEPOSITORS WIN

Boise State bank, whose funds were
deposited between the date the bank
was examined by the state examiner,
October 1927, 1911, and the date the
institution was closet, December 10,
1911, will recover $30,240.98 on the
bond of " w. Plat, former state
bank examiner, as the result of an
opinion handed down Saturday by the
supreme court. The court affirmed
a decision by Judge Mccarthy of the
Third Judicial district, Ada county.
The suit was brought by the state
against Plat and the Title Guaranty
& Surety company of Scranton, Pa,
on behalf of all depositors who had
placed money in the bank subsequent
to Platt's last examination.
A judgment was obtained in the
district court, and the bonding COM
pany appealed. Diversity of citizen
ship was one of the assignments of
error advanced. The supreme court
held that, as none of the depositors
for whom the suit was brought had a
balance of more than three thousand
dollars, the case was not one that
should go to the United States court.
The court also ruled on the ques-
tion of interest the depositors were
entitled to receive, and held that in
the absence of a stipulation in the
bond to the contrary, interest should
begin to accumulate against the
bonding company at the same time as
against the principal obligator. In
terest was therefore allowed to run
from the date the banks doors were
closed The judgment of the trial
court was affirmed in every particd
lar.
The opinion was written by Justice
Morgan. His decision avs concurred
in by Justice Bulge.

handsome returns on the efforts they
are making to prevent accidents to
each other. A comparison of the
figures show that the number of
casualties in 1913, before the Safety
First" campaign was launched, was
more than cut in half last year. And
the number of injured from acct
dents, for the same years, was just
quartered. To be exact, there was
reduction of 52.5 per cent in the

SAFETY FIRST"
lessons LIFE LOSS

| The Union Pacific railroad system
will be given an absolutely clean bill
on passengers killed" during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1915, in
the report of the Interstate Com
MERGE commission which will soon be
issued. And the number of passen
gers injured for the same period will
show almost negligible in the com.
missions report.
Two years ago the Union Pacific
system adopted motto of Safety
First" Every employe, regardless OF
his position, was enlisted in the work
Of making the Union Pacific not only
as safe as any other system in the
country, but absolutely safe for the
travelling public as we'll as for the
employees. NJ
The clean bill which the Interstate
Commerce commissions report will
show is the result of that safety"
campaign.
Not one passenger was killed on
the entire Union Pacific system, from
end to end, main line and branch
line, during the fiscal year. In that
period S,951,364 passengers entrust-
ed themselves on the thousands of
miles of branch roads of Union Pa
cific, and upon the main line trains
from Omaha to Portland, Seattle and
Spokane, from Salt Lake to Butte
and from Kansas City to Denver and
Cheyenne, and not one single passen-
ger lost his life, although, together,
these S,951,364 passengers travelled
nearly one billion miles during that
year. Not only does this apply to
those passengers actually on board
the trains, but it includes those who
were preparing to go aboard, or who
were leaving the trains of the COM
pany. Regardless of whether the
blame lay with the rail road, or was
due to the grossest, most fragrant
carelessness on the part of the pas
senger, the fact remainsG that during
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1915,
not one single Union Pacific passen-
ger was killed.
One of the points insisted upon by
the Interstate Commerce commission
is that, should any passenger die as
the result of an accident while on
board train, or while either board
ing a train, or while either boarding
or leaving train, that death shall
be charged to train accidents. So,
when the commission gave Union Pa
cific system clean bill for last year,
it meant that not only was no pas
senger killed instantly, but that not
one died from the fleet of an accident
during the year.
And speaking of accidents, the
of passengers injured on the
Union Pacific system for the entire
year, according to the commission's
report, was just 500 and the total
number of passengers carried for the
year was 1851 1854. These 8,951,364
passengers travelled S47,938,544
miles. None were killed and but 500
injured.

Fifth: Because when We buy from
our home merchant he gives us tn,
benefit of his experience and know
ledge If we are in doubt or uncertain
as to just what we need. This ad
vice is very valuable but rarely ap
preciated.
| Sixth: Because If we spend oul
money with our home merchant wher
we have got the cash he gets to know
us and if we get hard up he will
give us credit which we can not gel
from distant concerns.
Seventh: Because about 80 cents
of every dollar that is spent here at
home stays here and is distributed
to the rest of us in the way of wages,
trent, interest, doctor bills, lawyer
fees, taxes, and the purchase of the
necessities of life for the merchant
and his clerks. But a small fraction
fof it goes to swell the merchants pri-
vate bank account.
Eighth: Because our home mer-
chants employ our sons and our
daughters and our friends. The
amount of patronage given our stores
will regulate not only the number of
people employed, but the scale of
wages paid as we'll.
Ninth: Because the more business
that is done here the faster and big

farms of the surrounding country.
Tenth Because our home mer-
chants want our trade tomorrow as

During the first stages of the cam
paign many of the recipients were in
clined to take offense at this persist
ent bombardment, but eventually
they too came to look at it as the
ladies did after the merchants had
placed the matter before them at that
never-to-be-forgotteu meeting, and it
was but a few months till it was a
rare sight to see shipped or carried
into the town anything that could be

MAGNOLIAS IN BLOOM.

The warm sun of. the past few days has swelled the buds on the trees to such an extent that they are ready to burst and in some cases they have done so. There is a haze in the woods, the birds are numerous and the spring chorus is not only musical but it seems as if every instrument in the orchestra is being brought into play. The exhibition is free to all who wish to walk and listen and it is worth the effort.
 There is another exhibition nearer home and to which there is no ad- mission fee charged. The magnolia trees are in bloom and the pretty white and pink flowers can now be seen at their best. The blossom do not stay long but they are beautiful while they remain and when they are leaving us they are borne away on the wind in such a manner as to make a perfect kaleidoscope of color in the air until the last one has dis appeared.

Caught Under Tombstone. Philadelphia RecOrd.3

Screams coming from the Cathedral Cemetery, Forty-eighth street and Lancaster avenue, startled woman the entrance gate and informed Spc- ciale Officer Lugue, who guards the place. LUgue hurried into the cem- etery and the sound of the screams soon reached his ears. He traced the noise to d burial plot. There he found. John Fingler and John Casey, each five years old, pinioned beneath 8 heavy stone cross.
 Logue attempted to eXtricate the boys, but the unWieldy grave marker proved too heavy for his strength. He hurried to the entrance and ob- tained the aid of two men passing. The three succeeded in freeing the boys and hurried them to the West Philadelphia Homeopathic hospital.
 There the boys wefe found to be suffering from body bruises and lac erations. While the physicians dressed their wounds they told their story. Lured by stories of older boys that a man buried in the cemetery had a huge sum of money in his grave, the two little fellows went there early last evening to dig for the treasure.
 They selected d grave with a huge cross ut the head. Shortly after of the tombstone, it became lOosened and the marker toppled over, pinning them fast to the soft earth.

Born probably of a combination Of irritation and ignorance is the law against tipping which has passed the lower house of the Wisconsin legislature. It attempts too much to have a fair chance to accomplish ing anything, and as it is likely to be killed when it reaches the other section of the legislature, it may thus far be regarded merely as a curiosity. It provides that to give a tip, receive tip or employ a waiter who receives a tip shall be q n!isdemeanor, Granting that such provisions could be enforced it is practically certain that enforCe- ment would lead to an early appeal of the law As a matter of fact the great argument against tipping is that it fails to accomplish the very thing for which, theoretically, it exists, that is providing an incen- tive to good service by the walters. - Hartford Times.
