Erie Railroad Has Its Troubles

orirle %uestio9-Win YOU kindly give me your
~ y'-''.lon o. HrIe prior lien { per cent bnnd
Iq' II " IS 1rnen'' and why it is so low -?
Answer-Tbere are several reasons
Tor the low price for Erie prior lien
bonds. The road does not enioy good
credl'' TOT one thing. For another, the
d65 0onds dso referred to are junior to Ss9..
S99'9oo OF other liens. For still an
other reason. the road has operated 90
badly during the last two years that i
NJ mas cost the taxpayers many millions
OF dollars This large deficit was re-
ported during government operat ons.
Since then rates have been increased
and IN all probability the Erie viii
give a much better account of itself.
1t IS our opinion that the bonds are
safe enough. nevertheless, Offering at
present prices good speculative invest
ment opportunities. We make this
sJatement because we believe the rail
roads have been through their worst
period and that the future holds fortn
promises Of far better results.

THAT NAUGHTY
MEMBER

Tongues often run away with peo-
pie, and sometimes they don't know
when to stop.
The dashing manager Of a fashion
able hotel in a great city allowed his
tongue to become indiscreet when an
opera singer claimed there was an err
ror in her bill.
His unruly member applied certain
epithets to her which gentlemen do
not use in the presence of ladies.
A jury awarded her $4,000 damages.
The manager didn't have the five
thousand.
Now he is in jail, and the singer is
paying the county $3.50 a week for
his board.
She is happy, and hopes she will be
permitted to continue her "charity'
for an indefinite period.
An unruly tongue is naughty thing
to have. 1t is about as profitable to
the average mortal as would be the
split tongue of a serpent.
At least, without the five thousand

HANDLE
With CARE

Too much attention can not be paid
to the proper training of the children
of this community.
AS is the child Of today, SO is the
man or woman of tomorrow. There
are few exceptions to this rule.
Giving the child an education, a
good suit, a few dollars and sending
it out into the world to battle for ex-
istence will not suffice. Parents owe
more sacred duty to their offspring
The child is entitled to health, to
an acute conception of right and wrong

"SeII Your Hammer and Buy Horn
LOCAL EXPRESS SERVICE ROT
TEN

We have often heard complaints of
the service given at the local express
office. We find on investigation that
everyone tells the same story. No
good. Perhaps they are short of help
and team service, but that is no ex-
cuse. If the business is here, there
ought 20 be help enough supplied to
care for the business. Nearly every
one uses the Parcel Post and freight
service in preference to patronizing
the express office because of the poor
service. There is every reason in
the world to do so. If you take
package to the office you can get
prompt service. If the package is too
large to carry and you want service
from the express office you may get
service in two or three days. There
is every reason to send packages ev-
cry other way than by express. We
find that everyone who can, avoids the
express office and patronizes the Par
eel Post and Freight.
You can get no satisfaction from
the office as to what or when it will be
done. There is no system, courtesy
or attention shown you. There is an
Indifference on the part of all the en-
ployees, they make you feel as if
you ought to be thankful that you
can be waited on at all. Competition
is what they need. If a private firm
looked after business as they do, they
would exist but a short time. Is
there no relief for the public, who
want good, obliging service? Can the
people protest against such attention
and service We shall do our bit
against such service as long as we con-
tinue to publish newspaper. More
Anon.

With these attributes freely incul-
Gated II it's mind, body and heart, it

path of life
No person is normal without good
health, and the great achievements of
the world are accomplished by normal
men and women.
From the day Of it's birth the health
should be a prime consideration for
the child, and there should be no re-
Taxation in hygienic watchfulness
from birth to maturity.
The other attributes follow in their
natural sequence and the lessons are
better understood and more freely as
simulated because Of a healthy state
of mind and body.
