Undoubtedly. Collins and FerzoG are

second basemen. Their performance in

Otsego county, n. ", has a message
for every county of every State I'm

the necessity of exercising Eternal
vigilance in watching the operations
of their paternalistic PhilanthropieSi
the chief beneficiaries of which,
through political influence, are not
included in the designs on which
such philanthropics are based.
The real farmer receives little or no
compensation for his diseased cows
The money intended for him is COB
bled up by others, thus defeating the
purpose for which 1t is appropriated
by the Legislature.
That the real farmer is unconscious

among his milk producing cows and at
the same time assisting his raise

Force of Impact Cause
Fo rSleeper Destruction

Philadelphia. March /. - No blame
can be placed on tile steel Pullman
sleeper Bellwood for failing to with
stand the shock of the crash, was the
official announcement at the Broad
Street Station last night. This car was
split dow nthe center from end to end.
The sleeper Bruceville cut through it
like a wedge splitting az log. Every
person in the car was killed instantly
The interior was as clean as an egg
shell as far back as nine feet from the
end.
I'VE have learned nothing from the
wreck of the Bellwood that would en-
able us to build a better car" a high
official of the engineering department
said. 1T would have been impossible
for any car to have stood against a
shock of thirty-five cars travelling al
forty miles an hour. Steel cars are
built to take care of any ordinary
shock, but in this case the Bellwood
was shot under the Bruceville and the
heavy center steel beam cut through
the light steel body structure like a
wedge"
From the local offices of the Pull
man Company ii was learned that the
wrecked car was six years old, as up
to date and sturdy as the cars being
built now.
