Retort caustio,

A tourist was having bis boots pol
ished by an Irish shoeblack, and as the
latter was administering the finishing
touches his patron rudely tossed two
coppers on the pavement as reward.
This insult, added to no doubt by the
fact that the reward was the mere rec
ognized twopence, caused the shoe
black to exclaim;

Acid

SUM for their spring crops. Acid
phosphate In experimental tests cover
ing more than 20 years has proved the
cheapest and most effective fertilizer
for this State.
Carriers of nitrogen are especially
high this year, and this element has
seldom returned its cost on corn and
oats at the Experiment Station and Its
various substations scattered over the
State. Where clover is. grown and
manure is properly applied nitrogen is
unnecessary, according to soil experts.
All fertilizers containing potassium,
which come from Germany, are SO
high in price this year that their use
is not recommended.
While a fertilizer containing nitro
gen, phosphorus and potassium has re-
turned $15.78 net profit when used at
the rate of 1,070 pounds per acre in
five years in rotation Of corn, oats,
wheat, clover and timothy at Wooster,
320 pounds of acid phosphate alone has
returned 1892 net, as an average Of
20 years. In other words, 100 pounds
of acid phosphate has been worth
nearly three times as much in net re-
suits as the same amount Of complete
fertilizer.

MACHINE INSTALLED
AS BANK BOOKKEEPEU

The Savings Deposit Bank Company
has just installed a machine that will
actually keep books. The Burroughs
Adding Subtracting Machine is the
name of this mechanical bookkeeper
and it will be used for making entries
to the banks ledgers and writing up
depositors' statements.
To understand best what this ma
chine means to a busy bank one must
see it in actual operation. A great
number Of checks naturally come into
the bank daily and each must pass
thru the regular channels. A record
must be made of each one and the ac-
count of each depositor must be hand
led separately and accurately.
Before the advent Of the machine
the detail work of entering amounts II
the ledger and making out deposlrors
statements was a tiresome and uncer
tain task. All checks had to be list
ed separately and added up by hand
| All deposits had to be listed and addet
and their total combined with the Gus
toner's old balance. When this wa
done the total Of all checks had to b
deducted from the sum Of old balanc
and deposits to determine the new bal
ance.

Great I.ahnr-caun un,.


With the new Burroughs, this work
Is all done mechanically, except the
actual setting down Of the figures on
the keyboard. And the balancing of
an account, from an old balance on
through checks. and deposits to new
balance, is virtually handled in one
operation.
The operator first feeds the Gus
toner's old balance into the machine.
Then sets down the amount of deposit;
and, after taking a spacing stroke, de-
presses the operating bar with the to-
tai key down and the correct new bal
ance is automatically computed and
printed in the right hand column. The
machine also automatically prints the
dates opposite each list Of checks and
deposits, and without any attention
from the operator, sets each in the col
umn in which it belongs.
Another thing it does is to detect
overdrafts instantly, whether the op.
orator notices them or not. When the
checks exceed the deposits and the ole
balance, the machine automatically
locks and no results can be obtained
until the lever controlling the interna
mechanism is placed in the subtract
position, when the overdraft is printe'
in the proper column with an GOD
sign in red ink.
| With the use Of the machine, tn
Savings Deposit Banks books are KEEP
more neatly, accurately and efficientl
than they could possibly be kept b
hand. The machine method cuts ou
unnecessary labor and eliminates mis-
takes.

Lovina Waltz, the oldest daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Waltz, was
born in Sharon, Ohio, June 10, 1847,
and departed this life at the home Of
her daughter, Mrs. Frank Koplin in
Toledo, o., March 21, 1917, aged SO
years, 8 months and 2 days.
She was married to Mr.. James E.
Derhammer, Nov. 26, 1866, and to this
union four children were born, two
sons and two daughters. all Of whom
survive her. They are Mrs. Clara E.
Melton, Elyria, O.; Elias E. Derham-
mer, Medina, O.; Clyde A. Derham-
mer, Cuba, N. Y. and Mrs. Alice Kop-
lin, Toledo, o. These, together with
her seven grandchildren, three surv1v-
ing brothers and one sister, are left
to mourn her departure. She was a
hard working sister and did every
thing in her power for the comfort Of
her family. She was faithful moth
er, a good neighbor and true friend.
Soon after her marriage, she Joined
the Lutheran church, and ever since
has been faithful member. Altho
for years she had been sufferer from
asthma, she seldom ever complained,
and the hopes of her salvation was in
her Savior, whom we believe has re-
lieved her from this bondage of cor
ruption, and has taken her to be with
Him forever.
Her funeral took place from her late
home in Wadsworth and the Jerusalem
Lutheran church on the 23rd day Of
March and her body laid to rest In
Woodlawn cemetery, Wadsworth, by
the side of her husband, who preceded

Home furnishing is not a question

Comfort, simplicity and beauty, the
essentials of a weIl-furnished home,
are within reach of even the small
income, provided the one who directs
the furnishing has some understand
ing of line, proportion and color, the
laws that govern all characterization.
In terms of art, value means the
degree of dark or light of tone.
The natural divisions Of room

scape; floor. - earth; walls - fore

In \the landscape these divisions
are of distinct values, ranging from
the earth, with the darkest value, to

UNSOUND FINANCING
RAILWAY ILLS, 81
BY MAX THELEN,
President National Assn of Railway
Commissioners
1t seems impossible that the work
now being done by the various state
railway regulatory bodies could be
as effectively performed by an i'm
mense centralized bureaucracy with
headquarters at Washington.
In my opinion the states should re
tain the powers they now have over
local railroad matters, so long as they
remain in private ownership, with
the exception, probably, of control
over security issues, mergers and
consultations.
The railroads have made an en-
tirely incorrect diagnosis of their
financial ills.
Public regulation, state or federal,
is not the cause of impaired railroad

ships long before the days of public
regulation and will continue to do so
unless regulation strikes at the root
of their financial ills and is made
thoroughly effective.
California results disprOve the
claim that public regulation injuries
public utilities.
During three years-Of regulation
by the state railroad comm more
than $2,OOO,OOOOOO new money has
been invested in California public
utilities. The steam railroads alone
have added S55,OOO,OOO to their in
vestments. And during the last five
years over 1900 miles Of new rail-
road have been constructed in the
state.
The real causes Of any impaired

estly and wisely managed have also
suffered from the acts of others. In
vestOrs who have lost money in one
road are naturally not eager to invest
in another.
Unsoundness of railroad finances
has been a potent cause in impaired
credit. l mean the .unsoundness of
the relationship between share cap
ital and fixed capital - between the
real value of the property. and the
face or par value of it's outstanding
securities.
A man who would expect to borrow
$12O on a horse worth only S1OO
would be considered cratic, to say
the least. Yet many railroads have
been constructed entirely from
bonds sold at a discount and in addi-
ton have issued large amounts of
capital stock without consideration.
Railroad financiers have largely
refused to invest their own money in
purchasing stock, but have secured
their funds from the public by selling
bonds.
Later when they need funds for
additions, bettermentsy and extern
siOns>they find it diffiCdlt or impossi-
BILE to secure them. They are I'M
able to sell stock because that al
ready outstanding represents little
or no value, and unable to sell bonds
because those outstanding already
exceed the value Of the property.
Such a financial structure inevi-
tably crashes. ReceiVership comes
then, not by reason Of regulation, but
because of it's absence in preventing
unsOund financiering.
Whenever a railroad is constructed
where not needed the result is not
merely financial disaster to it, but
impairment of credit for its .competi-
tor whose revenues are diminished
by the competition. Such construc-
ton leads to general injury of rail-
