was bitterly opposed to him in poll

of Ill years, it is snuffed out as un-

"Is the Chester county statesman
right in his dictum that "the day of
the weekly is past? ?" In confirmation
of his statement it is to be said, in
addition to the Village Record, two
other county weeklies, each over
century old, one in Allantown. the
other in Bradford, have recently Civ

and the high cost of labor and print
paper had proved too much for them.

matter for a very considerable pro-
portion of our population. We feel
inclined to doubt, however, Honorable
Lary's assertion. 1t is not improb-
able that in rural districts near large
cities, where the daily papers can be
easily secured, their competition may
prove fatal TO the more leisurelv
weekly and that many of these must
'uccumb. In more sparsely populated
districts, however, where communica-

accessible, the old reliable weekly I

many country weeklies which might

PRESCRIBING MAXIMUM FARE.

Chicago Aug G.--Railroads in Hi
nois are confidently awaiting a ruling
from the Illinois utilities commission
that will raise all interstate rates in
cludiEg communication fares, at least
20 FER cent, it was learned last night
On some Communication rates it y
said the increase may run as high as
23 per cent Further, il was learned,

sion's decision viii mean no gain -
the purchaser. Despite the possession
of the communication tickets the pas
Sengers will be required % pay the
difference between the old and new
rates
Certainty of involved litigation Is
seen In the seeming assurance OF ral.-
road officials that the utilities comIfls-
sion will order a new schedule OF IN
trastate tariffs based on the 3.6 cents
per mile fixed by the interstate com
merce commission in its decision last
week. This will be done despite the
statute limiting railroad fares in Hi
nois to . cents a mile.
While the interstate rates are now
fixed at cents a mile, the increase
was made only as 4 war necessity
and was established by the United
States railroad administration with
out being contested When the roads
were returned to private ownership
II was guaranteed by the government
that the present rate would prevail
until Sept. /.
One railroad official was is repro
senting all the roads in their move
for increased rates admitted last night
that he felt certain the utilities com.
mission was preparing 10 grant ne
increases asked by The railroads.
Our demands are based on the dc
cision OF the interstate commerce
commission, he said, which gives u
the right TO increase 20 per cent over
the 3 cents per mile rate We be
ieve the illinois utilities commission
will recognize the necessity for high
er tariffs and grant them. After that
we expect a court fight TO determine
the right of the commission to grant
increases above the rates prescribed
in the statute. We have similar litt-
cation in other states.
But the interstate commerce com.
mission has guaranteed us certain
profits and the right to take necessary
steps to obtain these profits. AS the
commission is lie only federal agency
with powers bearing on railroad prob,
lens We believe we are acting en-
tirely within our legal rights

Near -Centenarian Tells Girls How to Win
Health and Long Life

Kane, Pa, March S.-Low neck dresses

girls who want health and long life, if
they take the advice of Mrs Catherine
SelliR Of Kane, VINO observed her ninety
fifth birthday yesterday. Mrs Selin came
to Kane in 1869 and has not been outside
the towns limits since then She is clear
of mind, vigorous Of health, and keeps
abreast of current news.
ITO attain long life and good health
a girl must observe very simple rules,
in my )pinior, said Mrs. Scllin. "Sne
should cat slowly, breathe deeply. get
lots of sleep, never expose her throat in
cold weather by wearing these modern
low-pecked dresses nd she should not
wear very high-heeled shoes.
Exercise is important and of all exer-
cises there is none better than digging
IN the soil The best thing in the world for
woman's health is to put on loose over
alls and work around in the garden. |
don't see how girls manage to work at all
in some of the strange things they wear
nowadays. In the winter housework is
exercise enough.
