An item of expense that is going
to confront farmers this year is dam
age to fences. In many parts of
Dauphin and Cumberland counties
the roads have been so badly drifted.
that people took to the fields to get
anywhere. This meant either cut
ting of wire fences or tearing down
wooden ones. There are places on
the Linglestown and Jamestown roads
where the driveways are actually in
the fields and in Derry township
some fences have been taken down
and scattered.

Several newspapermen who come
to=Harrisburg every now and then
are recalling Leon Trotsky as a re-
porter on papers in Pittsburgh and
New Castle and also when he work,
ed for a time in Philadelphia. They
say he paid but little attention to
office rules and when facts collided
simply forgot the basic principles.
AS a commentator upon current
events and government he was un-
usually proficient even though the
time OF going to press came around
with inexorable regularity.

Corn Exchange Bank
To Increase Capital

Plans for an increase from $780,
600 to s4,2O0,00O in the capital stock
of the Germ Exchange Bank were an
nounced yesterday. The stockholders
will vote upon the proposition at the
annual meeting on January 81.
The increase of 1000 shares will be
offered to stockholders of record at the
close of business January 81, 1919, at
S1o0 share, the subscription privilege
being 20 per cent of their holdings at
that time. AS the outstanding stock
of the institution is selling in the
market at 1926 share. the rights to
subscribe to the new stock are est;
mated to be worth approximately S38
Walter Z. Frew, president Of the
bank, said the increase in capital had
been made necessary by the expanding
business of the bank "When the in
crease in capital was authorized in
1906" he said "the bank had twenty
one branches and about $4,000 900 net
deposits. Stree that time we have en-
larged our business by the organiza-
tion of nineteen additional branches
and our net deposits at this time aver
age about $117,000,000."

Relevant Comment
Railroad Men Agreed on Plan

When the standing committee of rail-
road presidents meets tomorrow in the
BOARD room of the New York, New
Haven 4 Hartford Railroad it is ex-
pected that they will have before them
tentative plan for turning the roads
back to their owners under a system Of
government control which they believe
VII solve the country's Transportation
dlfilculties. Before the plan will Off
cially be made public, however, it prob
ably will be submitted to the general
meeting of railroad men which is sched-
uled to take place at Chicago early in
January. Whether the government will
lndorse the views of the corporate
heads of the railroads of course is an
other matter The railroad presidents
are reticent about the nature of their
proposals, but it is understood that
they will vigorously oppose Mr.. Nc
Adoo's five-year plan of government
control
New-York tribune., 1918-12-19
Fear Return of Roads Soon

The fear is entertained in some quar-
ters of the financial district that the
government may decide to turn back
the railroads to their owners immedi-
atel y after. the first Of the year. Re-
ports to this effect were said to be re-
sponsible for the weakness that de-
veloped IN the railroad list in the after
room. A return of the railroads to
private ownership under all the bur
dens imposed during the period of gov
c,nment control, it was stated in some
quarters, would result in bankruptcy
tor the weaker roads. N. L. Amstcr,
CHAIRMAN of the Chicago, Rock Island
q Pacific executive committee, just re-
turned from Washington, said he was
unalterably opposed to the government
rellnqulshing control of the railroads
at this time, as, in his opinion, it would
be fatal to the interests of railroad
security holders.

In the market for fixed date funds
a few loans were placed at 6 per cent
for the shorter periods. Much of the
