Our railroad system is rapidly breaking
down. We need the best brains in the
country TO build it up. Such brains are
now available. There are Cassatts, Hills

of two years these men will not be avail

in other matters. Every day we post

pay the bills. This means that you VIII
have to pay the bills"
The railroads mean more than railroads.
They mean the prosperity Of the whole ma
ton. The railroad is every mans partner,
the silent partner in every grocery, fac
tory, and farm in the country. We can
not afford TO have them bungled.
They need vast development now, to keep
up with the other activities of the people.
"Of the $780, 900 miles of railroad only 3d.
900 miles are double-tracked. Some sec
tions have no facilities at all; others are
inadequate
To improve the railroads means to re-
duce the cost of living, to promote COM
merce, to help the laborer and the mer-
chant

CIRCULARSAW.K|LLS
HARRISON YOjNG MAN
GEORGE TRACY, 27, PULLED
INTO BLADES AND BODY
SEVERED THREE TIMES.

A horrible accident occurred on the
Louis Roddick farm three miles east
OF ElenDoro last Wednesday after
noon. George Tracy, 81, son of Jos.
Tracy and wife who reside two miles
southeast of Ellenboro in Harrison.
was saving lumber on the Roddick
place with John Armstrong, Irving
Miles and Joe Roddick. The men
were using the Tracy mill and Joe
Roddick engine to saw logs into lum-
Der for farmers.
The accident happened about four
O'Clock. Mr. Tracy was saving a
piece of timber for woodrack. on
the portable saw MILL and was hold
ing it in place with his foot. 1t is
probable that he slipped as he was
carried on to the saw and the body
cut in twain diagonally.
The other men saw the accident
but were unable to stop the machin-
cry in time as the whole thing hap
pened in an instant. Witnesses state
that the unfortunate young man was
terribly mangled the body being torn
III three different places.
Death was of course instantaneous.
The men phoned P1atteville and an
undertaken came for the body The
nature OF the accident was such that
an inquest was not deemed necessary.
This is the second great misfortune
to visit the Tracy family in a little
over a year. In December 1918 Sam
Tracy, another brother, was killed in
an accident in France when some sol
diers built a bivouac fire and were ly-
ing beside it. A she'll exploded tear
ing the boys back open. He died
soon after. George Tracy, killed last
week, was also overseas. The tuner
al was held under military auspices
Saturday at Wing. The surviving
relatives are the father and mother
and two brothers and sisters.

) SUNDAYS IN FEBRUARY:
FIRST TIME IN 40 YEARS

For the first time in 40 years
church-goers of Lancaster had the
chance to attend services five times
during the month of February.
Ordinarily the sequence of five
Sundays IN February recurs, but ow-
ing to the fact that 1900 was not a
leap year, the calendar slipped a
cog" and Sunday being shunted out of
place in numerical order, it did not
get back into position to become the
first and last day Of the month since
1880, until this year Those who in
vented our present system of COM
putting time discovered that adding
one day in every four years was a
fraction too much, so the plan was
hit upon to make century years di-
visible by 400 leap years. This it
was. found, even things up nicely and
prevented January from eventually
becoming midsummer month, as
might have been the case in the next
fifty thousand years, had this not been
done.
The first time in the last century
that February had five Sundays, was
in 1924. 1t happened again in 1852,
and again in 1880, each period just %
years apart.
