This large economic waste can
be greatly minimized by proper
effort. on the part Of the owners
of the stock. adjoining property
owners, trainmen and other en-
ployees of the railway company.
Careful analysis shows the
principal amount of stock killed
by our company occurred from
the following causes:
Farm gates left open by ad-
joining property owners for whose
benefit they were installed; struck
on public and private road cross
ings; switch within town and
switch limits. where protection by
the railway is impracticable.
It is therefore urged, that own
ers keep their stock in fenced en-
closures and iscontinue the prac-
tiee Of allowing it to roam at large
and on the railroad rieht-of-wav /;
That Town Officers pass ordi-

nances prohibiting the practice OF
stock running at large;
That superintendents, roadmas-
ters and section foremen make Il
personal appeal to stock owners
and adjoining property owners to
keep their animals in fenced en-
closures, and our right-of-way
gates closed;
That Engineers take every pre-
caution within their power to
avoid striking stock, delaying
trains if necessary by slowing
down when there is danger Of
striking stock, and reporting with
out fail all stock seen on right-of-
way under fence;
That section men look out for
stock on right-of-way driving it
off wherever found. close all farm
gates that are found open, and
report, to property owners that
gates are open and request that
they be kept closed in future.
The Government, by necessity,
is preventing in every possible
way unnecessary economic losses,
and has perfect right to expect
the full cooperation of all rail
road employees and the public.
We, therefore, request all citi-
zens, patrons and co-wOrkers to
join with us in the prevention of
this great loss. at least during the
period of the war.

REGISTRATION DAY.

The 17th was ladies registration
day,
And they went at it with vim
and without play.
| There were many girls and ladies
to sign their names,
All to help Uncle Sam with this
war, they claim,
l think there was only few
slackers,
They were mt very substantial,
They are like eating crackers.
Bright Miss Carrie We'll filed out
the uptown blanks.
She had other intelligent girls to
assist her and had no cranks,
It was all done in business-like
way,
They were all ready to serve you
and So there was no delay.
They must think the ladies more
competent then the men,
They took the girls much younger
to help their country to defend.
For take men at sixteen to sixty
is against the rule,
That's taking our young girls who
are still at school,
The boys had to register at twen-
ty-one,
That proves the girls are more
business-like, not so full of fun,
Registration is the first step 10
woman's rights,
So we must assist Uncle Sam in
the war fights.
We must try our best this war to
end,
And prove to them on us they can
depend,
We must help them their crops to
save,
Or from starvation many may go
to our graves,
And we must think Of the dangers
for us they have to face,
So in all kinds Of business and
labor we must take their place.
There are many things we can do,
We must show the men how use-
full we can be too,~s ggfgo
We must not only knit or sew,
Must. not let tkem think we are
so slow, s Y1 s's
At any rate we can and will help
out the Red Gross,
And that will help the soldiers and
Uncle Sam our united boss.

College Romance Ends In Mar
rage at Homer, New York

Stephen F. Puff, one of Wild woods
young lads and who Is now com pleting
his junior year as a civil engineer at
Bucknell University, L%ewisburg, Pa,
surprised his many friends at that in
stitution by returning after a few days
absence with the sweetest little grille
who they now know is his wife.
1t seems as though "Steve" left his
college rather mysteriously one day,
and the next thing we knew about
him was that he had returned with a
wife. Through his confession his
friends found out the following:
That during his. sophomore year
"Steve" had lost his heart to a win
some little beauty, who was a student
of Bucknell, but whose home was in
Homer, N. Y. Her name was Miss
Grace Starr. AS a result of the years.
romance, there was a diamond placed
upon her finger last summer, which
eventually lead to this: On Saturday,
April 2Sth, Mr.. Stephen f. Puff, and
Miss Grace E. Starr were united in
holy wedlock, Rev. Benz. Herr, pastor
of the bride, officiating. The wedding
took place at the home of the bride in
Homer, New York. The ring cere.
mony was used.
The bride was attired in a beautiful
white bridal dress aud carried a Won
derful creation of roses and sweet peas.
She was attended by her sister, Miss
Ruth Starr as bridesmaid. The groom
was attired in the conventional black,
and was attended by Miss Ruth's in
tended, Prof. Herbert G. Tanner, of
Cornell University.
After returning to Bucknell,
s'Steve's" fraternity brothers gave a
banquet In honor of the newlyweds.
After the we'll wishing and congratu-
lations of his brothers, the bride and
groom were presented with a handsome
piece of silver, in the shape of a mas
sive bread plate.
Mr.. and Mrs. Puff will reside at 1872
East Wildwood avenue and will be at
home after June 21st, unless he receives
3 call from the war department., which
he is expecting any day, as he has en-
listed to go to the officers training
camp at Fort Niagara.

MEAT is CHEAP IN BRAZIL
{By S. b. Robertson)


Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
RIO DE JANERIO, May 10. -
Brazil's meat market has not ye
been stamped by the high cost of liv
ing doubtless because there ar,
about twice as many cattle in tn,
country as people. The last bovint
census placed the figure at 10000,
900 head.
Despite the advice of health au
thorities who prescribe Il light mea
diet during hot weather, Brazilian
eat approximately their own weigh
in flesh, fish and fowl annually. An,
hot weather is BraziPs eternal por
ton.
To feed the aggregate stomach o
Rio de Janerio during 1916 1t requir
ed l05,000,000 pounds of beef, $500
900 pounds of veal, 5,700,OOO pound
of pork and 100000 pounds of NUT
ton, to say nothing of daily portion
of about sixty tons of fish, and equa
weight of dried beef, 10000 pound
Of poultry and liberal amount
goat flesh and wild game.
Brazilians probably are great mea
eaters because, relatively, meat is the

EXCHANGE NOTES

A communication from the cham
Der of commerce of the United States
to the Exchange suggests as soon as
the details OF the conscrlption law
are announced, a registration day
should he called for this San Juan
district. A fitting patriotic program
and a parade could be part of the
days program. The duty OF regis
tering all the young men between the
ages of 2l and 80 should be perform
ed rapidly and in spirit of joyous
and uplifting idealism. "1he world
must be made safe for democracy"
is the principle for which our heroic
nation has enlisted in war. The fight
that has been waged by the democ-
racies of Europe has been for us and
for the perpetuity of our nation just
as surely as was the war of the re-
hellion, fought on our home land. Let
us take our part in this world strug-
gle like true Americans. History has
never recorded that Americans are
derelict in their duty nor laggards in
its performance. Before the draft of
men is called the San. Juan basin
should have its quota Of men volun-
teered. What proud record that
would be for the coming generation;
what demonstration Of national
spirit. Young men, call at the Ex-
change and see the army recruiting
officers.
Any farmer who can use a good
husky boy, one who is used to farm
work, call on or phone the Exchange.
