P. AND R. RIDERS DELAYED
Trouble With Switch at Wayne
Junction Holds Up Traffic

Hundreds of commuters who use the
Philadelphia and Reading Railway were
late at their Offices today because of a
blockade at Wayne Junction which held
up all trains for nearly half an hour.
Trains over the Germantown and
Chestnut Hill branch, the New York
division. Bethlehem. Ivyland. New
Hope and Frankford lines were all held
up by the blockade.
Failure of the power plant Mt the
tower beyond Wayne Junction was the
cause of the delay. 1t is one of the
busiest points on the Reading, and
around Z o'clock IL score of trains are
due to pass this point within fifteen
minutes.
When the electric. power failed it
meant that the switches controlling
the various branches could not be opcr
nted. and it was necessary to hold all
trains until the trouble could be re-
paired. Arrivals at the Reading Termi
nal We're from fifteen minutes to half
hour behind their regular schedule.

Bliss and later at Preside. He has
been booked by the educational bu-
reau Of the Southern Department Army

Colonel GOldin owes his life to the
fact that during the battle Of the Big
Horn he was serving as regimental
clerk. and In that capacity was doing
duty as mounted orderly. He was
sent to Major Reno. some three miles
away. with dispatches; but even then
during most Of the ride, he was q tar.

these Indians of Northern Can ada are nomads. On my recent trip tried to find some Indians whom I knew were on the Liard a few months ago. Ilearned that they had gone to trading post on the Ross river, a branch of the Pelly which empties into the Yukon, a short distance south of Dawson. So you can readily see that distance does not deter them in the least when they think there is better trapping in some other region hundreds of miles away"
 MT. Simpson says that the dis. tance between Telegraph Creek and Atlin is 187 miles, but that owing to lack of transportation facilities between the two towns he finds it necessary to travel several times that distance, going by way of Skagway and Carcross, B, c,

The Man Who Buys War
 Savings Stamps Doesn't Lose

Postmaster J. T. Dunn, of Byers, Tex, was approached in January by a young man who asked his ad- vice in regard to having S1oo worth of War Saving Stamps redeemed SO that he could buy oil stock. MT. Dunn told the young man he could get his money if he wanted it, but advised him to hold his stamps, which he did.
 Last week the same young man came to the post office and bought $50 more worth ot War Savings Stamps.
 " You were right, the young man said "The company in which 1 would have invested hit a dry hole and if I had bought stock my money would have been gone. As it is, my War Savings Stamps are worth more than they were. Give me ten more. I'm going to hold them and buy more. And 1 know that any time should a big opportu- nifty arise can get my money at the post office on 10 days written notice with the interest it has earned"
 Hove you bought your Thrift Stamp to-day?
