Kerensky's supporters agreed today that

Association today filed complaint with
the Public Service Commission at Harris
burg against the Philadelphia Rapid Tran

II is set forth in the complaint today that
the company requires the payment Of eight
cents for an exchange at 1856 transfer

points the business men allege, is not

 '3Why don't they go onto farm?'' is the question with which many men dismiss from their minds the story of some poverty stricken family The chances are five to one that that same family was first induced to move to town because of poor schools and poor roads in the country. The remedy for much of the poverty now in our towns is good roads and good schools in the country. Why should not country schools be given the same attention given city and town schools? Why should not the children be permitted to go to them over good roads with dry feet, instead of wading thru mud and >ter1 Good roads will make the

 Death of Mrs. James Walker.
 It is with sad heart that we re- cord the death of the estimable lady, whose name heads this brief tribute to her memory, the sad event occurring Saturday morning, January 6, after lingering illness of several weeks, at the family residence, on Scott street, in Green l ,rest The cause of her death was pneumonia, followed by complication of maladies.
 Mrs. Walker was one of our best and most useful women, and the town and community feel a distinct loss in her going away. She was devoted chris tian and could truthfully say, 'I am satisfied with the life I've lived" ;" Her admotions to the husband and children during her illness were sufficient to guide them evermore in the paths of righteousness.
