would say no more. They parted, and
Vincent went gloomily on his way,
meditating deeply.
About the middle Of the afternoon
Vincent went to the shed behind his
home where he kept his motorcycle.
Another friend Of his, the son Of a
local merchant, was waiting for him.

"The whole outfit, was the prompt

''Wi1 it work?"
Like a charm"
The speaker proceeded to open a
large box. He produced a flexible
dressmaker's model. It was made of
paper maehe, but as he proceeded to
fix up the bald head with glossy ring
lets and adapt hat, dress and wrap
the dummy figure assumed form,
grace and elegance.
Now then, Vincent" he observed,
"an you've got to do is to strap that
model into the hind seat of your ma
chine, put veil on it and-isn't it
natural?"
For fact it was, as the schem-
ers perfected their plan-to all SEEM

TWO GOOD CROPS
Bring Boom at Mcdonald,
RawIins County.
Building Picks Up; Town Needs
Good Newspaper.

Mcdonald, Kan, Sept. 14.-This
part of Rawlins county is in the big
northwest Kansas wheat belt this
year. Two years crops, 1914 and
1915, are the record breakers. o. A.
Brown has lived in Rawlins county
and Celia township Ihirty-two years.
He says in all these years he has new
err before seen better all round crops
raised. In his nine years residence
in Mcdonald he has paid his debts, and
prOSpered to such an extent to enlarge
his business, that of general black
smithing, and is erecting a cement
garage in connection with his other
avocation.
The thousands of shocks and wheat
stacks seen in the vicinity of McDon-
aid is sight the visitor is treated to as
he passes by in his auto to the western
pleasure resorts. They put Mcdonald
on the map, and deservedly, too.
Mcdonald is doing something in the
building line. A new elevator has
been completed, the Fostor Lumber
company has erected substantial i'm
provements in it's plant, and the Nc
Donald Mercantile company has COM
pleted the foundation for a larger and
more modern business house. Other
improvements are under way.
There was a time when Mcdonald
had newspaper. With bad crops the
paper failed, and now with the return
of good crop years there is splendid
opportunity for some newspaper man
in this town.

FOOLED OKLAHOMA MOB.
Nowata County Sheriff Took Prisoner
Across Line Into Kansas.

Coffeyville, Kan, Sept. 14.-When
three hundred armed men swarmed
around the Nowata county jail at No
wata, Okla, Monday night, overpow-
cred the sheriff and several deputies,
they were disappointed after searching
the Jail, to find that B. L. Harkins of
Nowata, the man sought to lynch, had
been spirited away. Several days ago
Harkins is alleged to have assaulted a
twelve-year-old girl at a picnic near
here. He was given preliminary hear
ing Monday and held for trial without
bail
Anticipating mob violence, Sheriff
James Mayes dressed his prisoner as a
woman and brought him here by auto
mobile, it is thought. Signs bearing
the words "Harkins will never go to
trial in Nowata county alive were
posted on the county Jail and bust
ness buildings by members of the mob.

Railways Side of Rate Hearing
Presents Startling Figures.
Abnormal Growth in Expenses
and Decreased Income Shown.
PAYS TRIBUTE TO VANHORNE
President Canadian Pacific AS
sOciated With Him for Years.
Other Items of General Interest
i'm the Traffic World.

How the net income per mile OF
western railways has deemed over
fourteen years because or rlslnS eA-
penses, in the face of billions added TO
cost of road equipment, recently was
laid before the interstate comHlerGe
commission by forty-six western ran
way systems. These carriers peuIIon-
ed for permission to advance inter-
state messenger fares in the territory
west of Chicago and east of the ROCKY
mountains. The press reports Oh lne
hearing indicate that the railway sys-
TENS referred to have patiently porne
a load the weight or Wnlch was III hO
way justified.
Startling facts were revealed in the
testimony given at the nearing. II
was shown that while in 1871 the me- me-
cost of road and equipment OF the
forty-six systems was $3,9ZZ,loS'zoo;
the same cost in 1914 had increased
to S6,433, 1855 whereas the earning
power of the railroads waterway ue-
clined In other words, the enormous
sum expended in permanent ROAD I'm
Drovements, safety appliances, etc, IS
not offset by any additional revenue
According to L. E. Wettl1ng' an eX-
pert railroad statistician who was call
ed upon to testify, the abnormal
growth in expenses may be attributed
principally to labor and taxes
Between 1900 and 1914" said MI.
WettIing, 1.-The increase in rate OF pay
for all classes of employees averaged
1881 per cent, reaching 47.62 per cent
in the case of trainmen. During the
whole period the total increase IN
wages over the 1900 rate aggregated
S637,156, 29O, of which 1914 alone con-
tributed $1O1, 1,S12. The amount
out of each dollar of revenue paid for
labor and taxes in 1901 was 4O.94
cents, which had risen to 47.95 cents
in 1914 Labor alone received 37.77
cents in 1901 and 42.9S cents in 1914
out of every dollar earned.
Compared with 1901 the increase
in 1914 was $129. S32,913, or SLOTS
per mile operated, equaling 2.O2 per
cent on the total value of road and
equipment. Yet, in the face of such
declines in earning power, these roads
in the next seven years will have to
raise over 646,00O,00O to refund ma
turing obligations, wholly aside from
needs for new money for additions,
betterments and extensions"
How little western roads can expect
from two-cent fares may be seen by
comparison with the New Haven road,
one of the lines of heaviest passenger
traffic in the country.
The New Haven, operating in dense
1y settled New England earns SIS, 957
per mile in passenger revenue and
$1.91 per train-mile. Western roads,
in sharp contrast, earn only $2,941
per mile passenger revenue and only
$1.31 per train-mile. Yet, in the re-
cent eastern rate case, the interstate
commerce commission found that pas
senger earnings of the New Haven
did not contribute to taxes and in
terest.

EULoGY ON VANHoRNE.
President Shaughnessy of Canadian
Pacific Knew Him Well.

In an appreciation of the late
Sir William Vanhorne, Sir Thomas
Shaughnessy, president of the Cana
dian Pacific railway, says:
'I first met him in 1850 when he
became general superintendent of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul rail-
way. AT that time 1 was connected
with the purchasing department of
that railroad. At the end of 1881 he
accepted the appointment of general
manager of the Canadian Pacific and
came to Canada.
"A fortnight after coming here he
asked me to accept the position of
general purchasing agent of the Ca
madam Pacific company, but there
were reasons why I could not accept
the position at that time. A few
months later, when he urgently re-
peated the invitation, / decided to
come and take up the position of gem
eral purchasing agent of the COM
pany. From that time till the date
of his death, Sir William and 1 have

born in Germany in 1885. He came to
the United States in 1853, and settled
in Mitchell county in 1850. There
have been born to Mr.. and Mrs. Wap-
Ter seven children, boy and six
girls. There are sixteen grandchildren
and three great grandchildren in the
Wapler family.
Otto Wapler is a member of Beloit
G. A. r. post. He served in the S7th
Indiana regiment, and was trans
ferred to the Mississippi marines.
Many of his children and grandchil-
dren were present, as we'll as a large
number of his old G.. A r. friends.

WAR AGAINST TREsPAssING.

Injuries ON Road.

Injuries OH fkOaQ.
Incident to a campaign against I'M
lawful train riding and trespassing
which the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road is pursuing in an effort to reduce
the number of accidents resulting in
death and injury to persons having no
business on the property, officers of
the road recently found it necessary to
arrest six men and eight boys in a day
in one of the suburbs of Pittsburg to
remove them from the danger of the
tracks and yards.
The ages of the boys ranged from
twelve to sixteen years and officials of
the railroad believe that by turning
these children over to the city au-
thorities the lives of some of them
were saved.
The railroad has enlisted the help of
school authorities, pastors and Sunday
school teachers TO caution children
against the danger of trespassing upon
railroad tracks and hooking rides on
trains.

EATS PACIFIC FISH.

Montreal, Feb. 3.-The famine in
the British fish market, due to the
closing of the North Sea to the fishing
fleets, has led to the expectation of
Canadian fish in large quantities. A
remarkable fish route has been estab-
lished, for 1t is mainly Pacific Ocean
halibut that is being sent. From the
fishing grounds off Prince Rupert the
fish is being transported across the
continent and loaded on refrigerator
boats for the long journey across the
Atlantic Fully $500 miles is trav-
eled by the iced fish before it reach
os the London consumers. 1t is be-
lieved that the trade will continue
after the war, and will prove a big
boon to the Pacific fishing industry
An incident of the fish famine is the
dispensation granted to Catholics of
Great Britain by Cardinal Bourne, by
which decree meats can be used on
Fridays and fast days, on account OF
the scarcity and high prices of fish.
