Mr.. Elliott is Of the opinion that
while the proposed regional system
Is not the best, nevertheless ii may
be found imperative that the larger
railroad systems take over or absorb
some OF the little lines. That is the
view taken by Senator Cummings,
of Iowa, who Is recognized as one
of the best informed among the
members of Congress respecting
the railroad situation and the rail-
road problems.
A few weeks ago the suggestion
was made by one of the government
Officers that The New England rail-
roads be so combined as to make
o single zone system, to be called
the North Eastern zone. Mr.. Ell
liott does not agree entirely with
this view. As il is in some parts
of the South and West, so it is in
New England. that the short hauls
tend to make it impracticable to
constitute into a single system the
railroads in given zone.
He is inclined to think that the
solution for the New England rail-
roads Is to be found In the strong.
perhaps complete, alliance of them
with some OF the great trunk lines
These trunk lines have long haurs.
New England roads have only short
hauls. This was the view taken by
3. n. Hartman when he started out
some years before his death to per-
feet railroad consolidation in such
. manner that small and compare
lively weak roads could be absorb
ed by the stronger ones. In this
YAy NJ. Hartman believed better

MARRIAGE BY
PROXY ALLOWABLE

Viewing it to be Ito the interest
of society that marriage should ex-
ist between those who sincerely de-
sire It," the judge advocate general
of the army has declared that legal
marriages by proxy may be contract
ed between soldiers overseas and
their sweethearts in the United
States, provided that such marriages
are not contrary to state statues.
Much sympathy is felt for those who
have been prevented from marrying
in the ordinary way by the exigencies
of military life" he said, and military
authorities in France could make
a great many soldiers and their fian-
Gees happy by facilitating such mar
riages.

vERNACULAR OF
TOBACCO COUNTRY

The tobacco growing section has
its vernacular-terms in common
usage for more than half a century.
A patch" is anything from one
to five acres of growing tobacco. If
the space planted is more than FIVE
acres 1t is known as a crop"
A dab" Of tobacco consists of
from 100 to. 500 pounds.
"Worming" is the act of going
through the rows of the growing
weed and catching the big green
worms that are feasting on the leaves
and swapping off their heads with the
thumb and forefinger.
"Suckering" is the plucking off of
the seed shoots from the stem of the
plant.
Topping" is breaking off of the
seed shoot from the top of the plant.
Burning a tobacco bed" is piling
brush on a plot of ground eight or
ten feet wide by forty feet in length
and burning the brush to kill the
weeds before sowing the seed for the
plants.
Housing" is placing the ripened
tobacco in barns or sheds to cure.
Curing" is the process through
which the tobacco is put from the
time it has ripened and is cut until
it assumes the natural brown color.
Regulation of the circulation of air
through the barn or shed containing
the hanging tobacco requires con-
slant attention. Often tobacco will
"house burn" which means that it
will sweat and partly rot. This is
often called "funking."
"Bulking" is piling the tobacco in
ricks about four feet wide, about
the same height and several feet in
length In this condition it COM
pressed and the leaves less liable
to break.
"Prizing" is packing it in hogs
heads for shipment to the factories.
