IHE RAlLROAD LINCH COUNTER


The railroad lunch counter is a
place to cat wnen you're not hungry.
You'll be much hungrier by the time
your order is taken. The only people
that eat in EN- are strangers in town.
When the stranger arrives, naturally
he's excited and isn't accountable
for what he does. But at that, a
strangers first appearance in a r. II.
lunch counter is his last. The ones
that visit the same r. r. lunch coun-
ter twice are the reason why we have
immigration inspectors.
All the help in the r. r. lunch
counter are busy scrubbing and pol
ishing the place. They keep the coffee
urns, apples and grape fruit polished
so highly the light blinds the walters
vision so he can't sec the customers.
The cook in r. r. lunch counter
must have a-cinch but maybe he's out
with the rest of the help polishing Up
the place.
The prices are moderate-to the
owner Of the place. But then the in
nocen. stranger might mooch in with
two-hit piece and by the time the
meal appeared the two-bit piece
would have drawn enough interest to
pay for the meal"
From the way things look around
r. r. lunch counter the proper place
TO eat would be in the shoe shining
parlor.

was dlsbanded at meeting held at
the Bingham Hotel, Philadelphia. A
meeting has been called to be held
in Reading on Friday, March 2, when
a new fair circuit will be formed
and, judging by the number OF fairs
asking for dates, two circuits may
result from this meeting.
II is possible that one circuit may
consist of such associations as Allen
town, Reading, Lancaster, York. Potts
town. Lebanon. Kutztown, Nazareth
AIiddletown, Altoona, Hanover. Hag-
erstown. Md, and Frederick, Md. A
second circuit may contain the names
of such we'll known fair associations
as Trenton, ~ J.; Mount Holly, \.

Pennington, n. j.; Red Bank, n. j.;
Gibbsboro, n. j.; West Chester, Pa
Carlisle, Pa; Stroudsburg, Pa, and

IT. S. Wilson, secretary and Joseph
Davidson: Trenton. y. j., Al. Saun-
ders; Pottstown. Walter Il. Baker
and Red Bank. n. j.. S L. Randall.
The general sentiment at yester-
days meeting favored the formation
OF more compact circuit, the former
Big Fair Circuit having consisted OF
Kutztown. Pennington, ~ j.; Potts
town, Lebanon, Wilmington, Dell;
Nazareth. Allentown. Trenton, Mount
Holly, n. j., and Hagerstown, Md
The new circuit as outlined would
produce short shipments and allow
the campaigning horsemen and con.
cession men a better opportunity T.
follow the towns best fitted to theil
needs Other fairs may be added &c

DRAINAGE
PLAN WILL Be
OPPOSED

There is strong and strenuous oppo-
sition in the Minnesota legislature to
combining the valleys of the Red and
the Minnesota rivers in one drainage
fought by the house members from the
Minnesota valley.
They say the farmers along the Min
nesota bottoms object to the plan to
turn the waters of Lake Traverse back
from the Red river to the Minnesota,
on the ground that this would greatly
increase the danger of floods. Even IL
reservoirs should be constructed, some
of the farmers fear they might break
and cause great disaster.
They also say there is q question
whether the farmers on the up1ands
would be willing to share the expense
of protecting the bottom lands. They
have scores of drainage bitches empty
they have been at enough expense in
draining their own lands without help
ing others.
They say that the Minnesota river
would have to be Strengthened in many
places, and would have to be dredged
to make it deep enough either to carry
off the water or to make 1T navigable,
even If the control system provided an
even stage of water. '.tu-.
1t is admitted, however, that it is
possible to make the Minnesota navi-
gable for a considerable distance above
Fort Smelling, If provision is made for
the control of the water, so that 1t will
not flow out during the spring floods.

bridges above LeSueur, but requiring.

It is pointed out that there may be a
conflict between the federal govern
ment and the association for the con-
troll of floods in the Minnesota valley
on this point.
