Switzerland's government has gone
into the business of supplying the pe'-
pie Of that country whose income is
less than 5000 a year with potatoes at
a shade better than the present ~etail
prices in that country. The prices at
which the potatoes will be sold has
been fixed at O.SO franc per l!tels,
which is at the rate of about i.75 cents
per pound. This means potatoes at
SIO5 a bushel. which is dirt chee p
compared with the $2.OO bushel re-
tail price that is now current in this
country But the probabilities are
that no Swiss dealers have hal the
temerity to dump carloads of potatoes
into a river rather than put them on
the market and in order to maintain
prices. as is reported to have been
done in this country this fall IN at
least one instance.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

A Conshohocken man, who has a
hen roost nearly the railway, was COM
planning to friend about having some
OF his birds killed by passing trains.
You should hang a time table I'D
in the hen house, and then they could
look when the trains were booked to
come past" said the friend.

know well enough when the ordinary
trains VIII pass. When I've had one

RAILROAD OWNERSHIP AND THE
WAR.

The wonderful mobility of the war
materials of Europe in the present
struggle, both as to men, and muni-
tions and supplies. is explained in some
degree at least, by statement made
before the class in international trade
and commercial geography that is be-
ing conducted by the National City
bank of New York as a part of it's edu-
cational course for the present year.
According to this statement, about
two-thirds of the railways of the coun-
tries at war are owned and in most
cases operated by the governments
controlling the territory in which they
exist.
The railways of the countries at war.
said the lecturer. amount to 100000
miles, and about $4,000 miles are
government owned and operated. In
the case of the allies the railways
amount to about 10000 miles and
about 40 per cent are government
Powers, the railways of the territory
which they control aggregate about
$4,000 miles and are practically all un-
der government control. in one way or
another In the case of Germany.
practically all of her 10000 miles are
government owned and operated. In
the case of Austria Hungary nearly all
! of the $4,000 miles are government
owned or controlled. OF the 1000

proportion are owned by the govern

way is controlled by it. In the area
which has come under German control
since the beginning of the war Bel

THE NAVY TO THE RESCUE.

THE NAVY TO THE RESCUE.
In sight of old Nantucket's light
On Sunday afternoon.
The European guns of war
Struck up their deadly tune
A shape of terror from the depths
Arose in spray and spume.
Aand captured five good merchantmen,
And sent them to their DOOM
Then up New England's peaceful coast,
With starry flags unHhrled.
And churning waters from their Dows
In foamy masses hurled,
fleet of swift destroyers came
To rescue from the sea
The pallid victims of the raid
OF U-boat So.
While other navies of the world
Go forth ad find employ
In navigating ocean lanes
To harass and destroy,
Our vessels, armed from truck to keel
And manned by heroes brave,
Were cast to play a gentler part,
And hastened forth to save
When hu an beings on the deep
With death and danger cope,
Oft may Old Glory succor bring,
It's stars be stars of hope.
Protection aye to helpless onesa
And to his own imperiled sons,
Where'er the ocean highway runs,
Be Uncle Sans endeavOr,
Here's to our sailors and our ships,
The navy blue forever,
-Minna Irving in Leslie's.

Russia has issued an official pro-
nouncement in which she promises 10
punish the personages of the Bull
garian government who treacherous-
lv allied their country with enemies OF
her fnvariabIe protector" But Russia
will first have to win undisputed sway
in the eastern war zone before she can
mete out any such punishment, so the
Bulgarian potentates who are the sub
iects of such Russian wrath appear to
be in little danger for some time to
come.

On Being Bold.

Lie was quite a JOlly racket IN the
days when knights were bold, when
they'd aid imprisoned damsels (tho
the nights were very cold )they would
dash up to the tower where the lady'S
piteous cries and her tears and plain
tiff gestures dimmed with tears tn. ir
gallant eyes. They would somehow
scale the tower (they'd. no elevators
then. If they had they couldn't use
them, they'd no elevator men, In
their strong arms they would lift her
to the saddle at their side and the lady
feeling grateful soon became their
blooming bride. 1t is really quite i'm
proving just to read of long ago you
may possibly disco. things you didn't
ever know. They were nifty with
their lances and they often used to
say. Gee, 1 only bagged six dragons,
1 was off my feed today" Any day
they didn't rescue some swell damsel
from a tower they'd not eat a bite of
supper when old knighthood was in
flower. They could surely please the
women, they could step along few,
tho of course that not surprising, they
had nothing else to do. And they had
so many chances-why, the women of
today wouldn't let you be their hero
in so bold and free way. All that
sort of thing they used to do in old
romantic tales was a riot then, but
hardly would it please our modern
trails. Seize one boldly, go ahead now,
as they did in days of old-boldness
now is not so easy as it was when
knights were bold.
