QUITTING BUSINESS.

The Herald notes with regret that
Feinberg's establishment here has
found it necessary to quit business,
as will be noted by their page ad in
this issue. Since locating in Beaver,
about a year ago, they have been
identified with the advancement of
the town and country and were in
cluded among our best boosters.
The manager, Ben Cooper and his
estimable wife, are much liked by
the Beaver folk and we regret to
know that they are. soon to leave us.

A change in the countenance of
the crowd which was on the streets
Saturday was noticeable. The re-
cent fine rains had transformed the
dried, brown fields of row crops to
a verdant green with promise Of a
good yield and the people were re-
joinced wonderfully. On every hand
the expression could be heard that
crops had made a phenomenal growth
since the ground had received a thor
ough soaking and that a bountiful
yield of broom corn and kafir was
assured. 1t is almost unbelievable
how pastures and crops, that looked
to be completely dried and burned
up have taken on rank green
growth the past week.

A.B.


Washington, Dec. S1.-The director
general of railroads yesterday sum-
moned the heads of the four railroad
brotherhoods to Washington for a
conference on Thursday. While there
was no formal announcement of the
purpose of the meeting, officials de-
clared it was plain that Mr.. McAdoo
intended to take up at once the wage
increases demanded by the brother
hoods and denied by the railroad
executives.
Mr.. McAdoo will obtain from the
brotherhood heads a detailed state
ment of their new demands, formu-
lated at Cleveland on December /,
embodying average increases of 40
per cent. for engineers, firemen, con-
ductors and trainmen, as well as sug-
gestionS from them with respect to
operating trips under the unified
system.
What Increase Means
The increases, it is estimated,
would add about $10O,00O,O00 an
nually to the governments operating
costs, this sum being in addition to
the increases they are obtaining
through the operation of the Adam
son eight-hour law.
The brotherhood chiefs in present
ing their demands to the railroads
asked that the increase become eff
fective on January /, and it was an
nounced Saturday that the railroad
executive anticipating government
control of the roads, had declined to
grant the demands, leaving it to Mr..
McAdoo and the President to decide
them.
The brotherhoods extended the
date on their request for thirty days
and the conference with Mr.. McAdoo
next Thursday is expected to develop
the extent to which the brotherhoods
will go in pressing their demands
upon the government.

Punxsutawney, Pa, Dec. 31.-For

license law was placed on the statute
books, the date for filing liquor
license applications has been al
lowed to pass without the filing of a

A few hotel men at various points
in the county desire to make ap-
plication for license, but none of the
attorneys would handle their cases,
giving as their reasons the great
sentiment against liquor licenses in
the county, the certainty that the
present court will not grant licenses,
and the fact that nationa lprohibi-

PHILA. DIVISION
WINS CONTESTS
Teams Representing Pennsy
System Win From Schuyl-
kill in Elimination Meet

Bowlers and billiard players, rcp-
resenting the Philadelphia division of
the Pennsy defeated the teams rep
resenting the Schuylkill division in
the General Managers elimination
contests of the Pennsylvania railroad
on the Casino alleys, in Philadelphia
Saturday.
Most of the players on the Phila-
delphia division team are employees
of the Enola yards. The billiard
team which won the trophy last year
is made up of w. E. Reese and w. j.
Smith, who both work in the cross
river yards. In the two bowling con-
tests the Philadelphia division bowl
erS took their rivals into camp by a
margin of $50 pins. Fordney, of
Enola, was high man with a total of
364 pins; Diller, also of Enola, came
in second high, getting two less pins
that his team mate.
Won Contests Here
AS a result of these contests Sat-
urday. athletic teams from the
Schuylkill division are practically eli
minated in the General Managers
contests. Earlier in the month the
Philadelphia division teams won con-
tests in basketball and quoits from
the Schuylkill team. These contests
were played in this city.

tests are as follows: Billiards: Phil
