COUNTS IN
THE MONUMENT Line

Every once in while somebody
tells us that our prices are being beat
by some other concern, but this does
not bother US any. We have watched
the "Our prices are the best" for
nearly % years, and have seen them
come and go, "like meteors athwart
in a inurky sky" as the poet says:
Quality counts far more in the mon
ument line than anything else in the
business, and it does not take long
for the people to note this fact; hence,
we lose an order now and then and
sometimes customer is tempted away
by the prospect Of saving few dol
lars by the "our prices are the BEST"
men, they eventually come back,
stung and sorry.
What does bother US, however, is
the fact that cheap cut price monu-
ments disgust the better class Of
dealers and discourages the customer
who really wants first class piece
of work.
Nothing on this "green footstoo"
looms up so rotten and bad as bad
ly cut, poorly proportional or skinny
monument, out of poor stock, and
nothing hurts the trade and dealers
reputation so irreparably.
On the other hand a good, nice
monument is business maker of the
first water, the finest and most en-
during advertisement dealer can
have, and if for no other reason,
whatever, he can well afford to in
duce his customer to buy a nice, first
class piece of work.
One satisfied customer is worth
more than 100 dissatisfied ones. Near
ly % years in the monumental line
has taught US few things. Price is
not the only consideration in the pur-
chasing of a monument. The recol-
lection of quality remains long after
the price is forgotten.
If you give US an opportunity to
submit you some designs and prices
on your work, we will appreciate it
and assure you that we will give you
full value for your money.
Yours truly,

Decision to Net Roads
~ Millions annually
Rail Officials Consider Ruling
Another Step in Taking Lines
From Control of the States

Railroad officials declared yesterday
that the action Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission in ordering d 20 per
cent increase in intrastate passenger
rates in New York State to make the
rates correspond with the higher inter
state tariffs marked the final deter
mination Of the government to take the
railroads out of state control The Of
ticials pointed out that the commission,
acting under the broad powers given it
by the transportation act passed by
CONGRESS- last February, ignored the
objections OF the New York Public
Service Commission, which claims the
right to regulate rates between points
within the state.
Under the decision, after December
19, travellers other than commuters, in
the state will not only have to pay 20
per cent more for their tickets, but
will also be charged a so per cent sur
charge for Pullman accommod odations.
These rates viii be identical with
those charged for interstate points.
will be about $12000000 annually, it
was said, which, will go toward the 51s
per cent return on investment allowed
the railroads.
The chief benefciaries Of the de-
cison will be the New York Central,
the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford and the Pennsylvania, although
the New York Central is credited with
doing about 75 per cent of intrastate
business. Proposed increases in COM
muters' rates are to be decided upon
later.
1t is the intention Of the railroads to
press for an application Of the COM
missions rulings in all the states, &C
cording to the Association of Railway
Executives.
Charles c. Paulding, assistant vice
president of the New York Central.
declared yesterday that the decision
will go long way toward rehabilitat-
ing the railroads after their experience
under Federal control.
"The determination of Congress that
The railroads are a national institu-
tion and must be regarded as such is
made final by this decision" he said.
CAS- a result of the application of the
provisions of the transportation act
to freight rates during tie summer,
and now to passenger rates, the COM
merce Of the country is regarded as a
whole, and no state can obtain what it
believes to be temporary advantage
for its own citizens by discriminating
in favor of those citizens against the
great body of the public Of the United
States"
Alfred NJ Barrett, Public Service
C,omrnissioner, yesterday said en-
rhat.ca.ly that the commission will ap-
peal to the Supreme Court of the
United States from the decision of the
Interstate Commerce Commission as it
affects rates within the city

Rusty the Fox Squirrel had ap-

Chatterer had been about. At least
that is the way it seemed

Chatterer was plotting mischief. And
when at last Chatterer disappeared
Rusty guessed just what he was doing.

So Rusty took fat hickory-nut off
behind c'ump Of young hemlock- k-trees
and buried it in the soft ground under
the leaves. Then he did the same thing
with another, only he DIDN'T hurry it IN
Just the same place. A third time he
did it. This was when Chatterer was
All this time he hadn't caught so much
as a glimpse of Chatterer
On his way back with the fourth nut
Rusty heard great rustling of leaves
ahead of him just as he was passing
through the little clump of hemlock-
trees. He paused and peered out
There was Chatterer making the dirt
fly as he dug where Rusty had buried
the last nut. Rusty chuckled down in
side 50 that he wouldn't be heard.
Then he hastily buried that fat nut
right in the middle of that hemlock-
thicket and hurried back to the big
hickory-tree.
The next nut Rusty carried quite a
long distance in another direction be-
fore hurying it. Several more he took
over near the same place and buried.
BY this time he felt sure Chatterer
was following him, but keeping out Of

he took some mats in another direction

another. Always he buried them. only
