STOP HABIT OF TRESPASSING
and Bridges by Armed Forces
of United States.

The Railway Gazette predicts that q
side issue of war conditions will be q
decrease of the habit of trespassing on
railroad property. This will be a nat
ural outcome of the guarding of tracks
and bridges by the armed forces of the
United States for the purpose of pre-
venting wilful interference with trans
pOrtation. There has always been great
danger to treSpassers on railway prop
erty. In the months of July, August
and September, 1916, the number of
persons killed in accidents resulting
from the operation of trains in the
United States was 2,7S1, and of these
1912, or 54.4 per cent were trespassers.
The number of trespasSers killed was
three times as large as the number of
railroad employees who lost their lives
in the same way. Yet trespassing per-
sisted. 1t is highly probable, however,
that the risk of danger from shooting
will deter many from trespassing who
were Obvious to the risk of danger
from trains.

SiOnS.
SO arose the situation as it is today.
Every important city in the United
States is served by from three to ten
times as many trains as are similar
centers of population in other parts
of the world.
The traveller between New York and
Chicago has at present the choice of
30 different trains-16 on the New
York Central, ten on the Pennsylvania,
four on the Lackawanna, four on the
Baltimore and Ohio and two on the
Erie. Should business or pleasure take
him from New York to Philadelphia
he is confronted with selection of AZ
trains on the Pennsylvania, II on the
New Jersey Central and eight on the
Baltimore and OhiO-67 in all. Even
distant points like Jacksonville or New
Orleans are the detectives of half
dozen trains every "a hours.
Europe Is Wiser.
In Europe in normal times the serv-
ice offered between the important cities
seems niggardly in the extreme by
comparison. London, Manchester and
Liverpool, the three greatest CONNER
cial cities of Great Britain, all lie
within a radius of 200 miles and are
connected by half dozen different
lines, but the train service between
them, though expeditions and conven-
lent, is equaled by the facilities en-
jOyed by score or more of the lesser
cities of the United States.
On the continent the contract is even
greater. Between London and Paris,
scarcely 200 miles apart, there ran
daily before the war only half a dozen
through trains, a day and night train
on each of three routes. Between
Paris and Berlin, distance of $50
miles, travelling is a trif1e difficult at
present, but prior to August, 1914, an
American who undertook the journey
was generally astonished to learn that
there were only two or three trains
which made the journey without
change, and that only one Of those car
ried a sleeping car. Between the other
continental capitals the same condi-
lions prevailed.

Canning Factory to Open Sept. I.
Essex-The canning factory at Es-
sex Junction will open about Sep
TENDER / and will be ready to take
all the sweet corn which can be pro-
duced. Baxter Brothers of Portland,
Me-, who own this plant as well as
dozen others scattered through the
country, have been unaffected by the
tremendous increase in the price OF
tin because of the fact that they al
ready had a good supply of cans on
hand and there are now about mil
lion cans waiting to be filed at the
Essex Junction factory.
The canning factory puts up an
average Of about a million cans a
year when the crop is good and In
one year put up 100000. OF late, the
crop has been light and last year
hardly more than half million was
put up II is expected this year that
good sized crop will be taken care
OF as there are two and three ears
Of corn on the stalk now, whereas in
many years there is but one.
II usually takes about four weeks
to take care Of the crop The corn Is
sold, stocks and all, according to
weight and the stock part Is given
back to the farmers for feed. The
fact that this is good corn year
will mean much to the farmers OF
this section as OF course three ears
Of corn weigh more than one. Since
the installation OF the canning factory
at Essex, many farmers are produc-
ing corn who a few years ago only
produced enough for their own use,
The fact that there is ready market
for every ear of corn which can be
produced means much In this section
