Pending the decision of the supreme
court of the United States on the
question OF the constitutionality OF
the Adamson eight hour law the rail-
road managers declare they will not
be parties to- any action that might
tend to nuliify or anticipate in any
way the court proceedings. The rail-
way workers of the country are being
-sctifed that the Adamson law will be
ignored in making up pay rolls after
Jan sand until such time as the is
sueis finally determined in the courts
The notices contain the first formal
declaration that pending the decision
sof the court there will be NO compro-
mise on hours or wages between the
railroads and the brotherhoods.

as in 1906 the income from this source
was less than three-tenths Of per cent
Of the total expenditure.
The growth of the volume of fees
and registrations is noted by the fact
that in 1901 New York, the first state
to require fees. collected only 1854. In
1906 only $1,000 cars were registered
throughout the entire United States.
BY 1915. however the number had
jumped to the figure given, so that
there is slightly more than one motor
ear registered for each OF the . 1915 900
miles of road outside Of the incorpo-
rated towns and cities.
!. The relation between cars and road
mileage varies widely in different sec
tons. There is only one motorcar for
every six miles Of rural road In Neva-
Ia. but nearly six motorcars for every
mile of such road In New Jersey.
There Is an average of one motorcar
registration for every forty-four per
sons in the United States Iowa ap-
parently leads, however. with one mo.
torcar for every sixteen persons, while
only one for every 200 persons is regis
tered for Alabama
There is great inequality in the regis
tration fees charged by the different
states. The average for the United
States was S7.46. The state of Yer
mont. however. secured in 1915 a gross
revenue of $3.50 for each motorcar,
while Minnesota received only about
30 cents annually for each car. In
Texas and South Carolina no annual
registration fees are collected, the only
requirement being county fee of so
cents and 81 respectively for perennial
registration. Most Of the states. how
ever. also levy annual taxes on motor
vehicles, and this adds Importantly to
the public revenue contributed by the
owners Of motor propelled vehicles.
In the use of fees. however. there
seems to be general policy Of apply
ing the major part of the money col
lected from automobiles directly to
road betterment In forty-two Of the
states of the Union all or the major
portion Of the motor vehicle revenue
must be expended for the construction.
improvement or maintenance of the
public roads or for the maintenance of
the state highway department. In
twenty states all or the major portion
of the net motor vehicle revenues are
expended by or under the supervision
Or direction Of the state highway de-
partment. In seven states one-half to
one-fourth Of the state motor vehicle
revenues are expended through the
state highway department and the re-
mainder by the local authorities.
Many states. in addition to applying
license fees to road construction, ex-
pend for this purpose a large part of
The fines and penalties collected from
owners.
In the number Of registrations New
York state led in 1915 with 255, 2l2.
Illinois was second with 16O. $50. Cali
fornia third with 1853. 1877 and Pennsyl-
vania fourth with 160,137. In gross
revenues received from this source,
however. California led with $2.O27.-
432. New York was second with ST.
e91.181. Pennsylvania third with 81

Year of Eclinses

Four eclipses of the sun and three Of
the moon, which astronomers tell us is
the greatest number possible in single
year, will occur in 1917. The last year in
which seven eclipses came was early in
the last century, and the next will be 1885.
On Jan. s, there will be q total eclipse of
the moon by the earth's shadow, visible
throughout the United States, beginning
at 1880 q. m. and ending at 4.39 q. m.
eastern standard time. Between and
3.29 .. m. eastern time, the eclipse will be
total.

Foxes are plentiful, cartridges are
scarce. A Bangor sportsman believes
one need look no farther in his scare b
for an explanation OF the. scarcity OF
the ruffed grouse. He says that years
ago he found the hole of one mother
fox and around it the wings of twenty
partridges that had probably been
caught in the night while the birds
were sitting on their eggs.

Secretary Bakers suggestion of a
new method to provide cadets for
West Point lacks something of clear
ness. He would have several pre-.
paratory schools scattered over the
country, whose pupils would receive
promotive transfer to the military
academy; and he criticises, by impli-
cation, the present method of ap-
pointing West Point cadets by the
President, by senators and by con-
gressmen. He does not point out,
however, who will select the person
mel for the proposed preparatory
schools. The present method of
selection OF cadets for West Point and
for Annapolis has contributed no
little to maintaining the national and
democratic character of our army and
navy. The old plan, in connection with
the competitive examination of candi-
dates, recently successfully tried by
Congressman Peters in this district,
and which has the hearty endorse
ment of the authorities at West Point,
leaves little to be desired. Congress
man Peters plan opens the field to all
candidates, who must win appoint
ment on their merits, and takes it out
of politics, as it should be.

The municipal officers should call
the attention OF the government to the
necessity for fence along the curb on
the inside of lie walk along the post
Office lot, from the bridge to the drive
way. Near the bridge the walk is but a
few feet from steep embankment to
the river. The government has built a
wing fence from the bridge rail along
the retaining wall on the government
property for few feet, but it does
not afford sufficient protection. With
the frequent icy walks in winter, the
danger to pedestrians is increased.
An ornamental iron fence would de-
tract nothing from the appearance of
the government lot, and would give
needed protection.

In reply to the proffer of Germany
and her allies for peace conference,
the entente allies, in collective note,
declare that they ''rafuse to consider
a proposal which is empty and iusin-
cere." The allied governments insist
that no peace is possible so long as
they have not secured reparation for
violated rights and liberties and the
free existence of small states, and
have not brought about settlement
for the future security of the world.
The note declares that the proposal of
the central powers is not an offer of
peace, but 'swar maneuvre." The
reply is looked upon as forecasting, to
some extent, the reply of the entente
to President Wilson's peace note.

Crop Report.

L. II. Wible's latest crop and
livestock report gives the aver
age weight of Fulton county wool
Aeeces at just a triflle under six
pounds. Many of these feeces
were sold for $500 this year.
This money added to the sum
received for lambs made the av-
erage returns from sheep prob
ably about Sc 90 per head, or $50
for flock of ten, although we
believe there are flocks of ten in
the County that returned $100
to the owner this year.
We would be pleased to hear
from our readers, stating what
they consider a fair return re-
ceived from q sheep. You will be
glad to hear what the other fel-
low is doing with his flock, and
the other fellow wants your ex-
perience. Wool at present prices
is bringing sheep into the lime
light once more.

Fatal Automobile Accident.

On Wednesday night of last
week, Fred |. Benson, accom-
panied by three other persons,
was driving a Studebaker car
down Rhodes Hill, about q mile
south of Saxton, Bedford county.
The brakes refusing to hold, Mr..
Benson lost controll of the car
which ran off the road, crashed
through a nearby fence. and
turned turtle, pinning Mr.. Ben
son under it. When rescued, he
was found to be badly injured,
and he was taken to the Chal-
fonte hotel in SaXton. where he
died about three hours later,
Mrs. Mortz and daughter who
were occupants of the car escap-
ed without serious injury. The
unfortunate man was son of
Mr., and Mrs. James A Benson,
near Dublin Mills, this county.

Our Financial Strength.

Two billion dollars is a tremen-
dous sum of money. Yets the
American people have loaned
their Government that much and
have barely touched their re-
sources. The money was raised
so easily it only seemed to show
the tremendous financial strength
of the country.
1t is not one-tenth of our bank
deposit. tits less than one-eighth
of our bank loans for one year.
1t was less than one.half of our
national savings for 1916 and
only five per cent of our national
income for the year according to
estimates.
Not only is this first Liberty
Loan Bond issue of two billion
dollars much larger than the in
ital loans of the other nations
engaged in the war but it was
raised in much less time with
much less effort and was sub
scribed to by a vastly greater
number of individuals; this too
when danger was far from us
and the nation in a calm frame
Of mind.
The coming second issue of Lib
erty Loan Bonds, with the great
mass of the people of the country
much better educated as to Gov
ernment bond issues and Govern
ment finances in general, it is
reasonable to suppose, will be
disposed OF with even greater
success than the initial issue.
The over-subscription to the
initial issue of over billion
dollars augurs we'll for the sue
cess of the next loan. There are
several million more investors in
Government bonds in America
than there were a month ago.
Then there were some three hun
dred thousand holders of United
States bonds; now there are over
four million. And the thrill of
the thought of our soldiers in
France will rally the people to
the nations call.

AniO Accident.

An accident that should be
classed as something less digni-
fled than accidental occurred in
front of Seylar's drug store last
Saturday morning, because itlook-
ed like reckless driving on the
part of a stranger who drove his
auto into Walter Johnston's car.
Walter was as close to the curb
as it was possible to 60, when a
stranger drove up from behind
him and carelessly side-swiped
the Johnston car, denting the
latter's fender and running
board. The stranger offered to
pay the damage, but Walter is
too busy farming to monkey"
with repairs, and he did not care
to accept pay for any thing less
than new parts, and he let the
other party go free.

Why Shonld YOu Worry?

OF course, you are not lying
awake nights fearing that you
may be drafted. If you knew
that your chance to win a prize
in the Louisiana Lottery" was
no better than the chance that
you will get into the army over
the draft route, you would not
invest any money in it.
On the basis of ten million men,
the chances are only / to 10 that
you will be among the first mil
lion called. Then, if you should
be among the number drafted,
the chances are only to 40 that
you will see service.
Officials are going on the theory
that only about one man out of
four will meet the physical re-
quirements for active service and
at the same time not be exempt
because of national, industrial or
family reasons.
Out Of the entire 9, 500, 600 reg
istered it is estimated that a
field army of only about 2, 500, 600
at the outside will be obtained.
There is no present intention of
raising an army of this size, how
ever. The first draft army will
be for 500, 900, plus what's need
ed to fill up other ranks. The
figures has been tentatively set
at 687, 900.
