WELLS RIVER
Train Service Cut and Men Laid Off
Service Criticized.

Agreeable to annual custom, several
trains were taken off the b. Nj. on
Sunday night last, Despite the tact
that the railroad is supposed to serve
the public vet in the removal of these
trains they are hurting their own
cause and causing considerable DIS
satisfaction and inconvenience to the
travelling public. Only one train. has
been taken from the Passumpsic divis-
ion but it would have been an mpossl-
bility to have removed more and had
any left. The train removed was the
south bound at 80 a. IN. and the
north bound at $3.50 p. m. The after
noon mail north will run one hour
later, reaching hpe about $3.50. On the
White mountain division the afternoon
mail, both north and south. has been
taken off and the Montreal Boston ex-
press will do all local work between
Woodsville and Concord. This removes
the last express train that we have
and makes everything local On the
mountain division one train only has
been removed. The NJ. & w. has the
same number of trains and excepting
the leaving time of the afternoon mail
there is no material change in the
timetable. Three baggage men have
been laid off at the Wells River station,
namely Heath, Evans and Mamere.
This leaves the day with two men
to handle and do the work that it has
found has taxed the capacity of five.
At night there will be no baggagemen
on the Job where there have always
been two. The night operator will han
die this work Hamilton, who has the
third shift, will have the following
work to dosell tickets, do Western
Union work, take train orders and re-
ceive messages, set all signals and all
switches for nine trains, handle bag
gage and mail off the night trains be-
sides any and all petty jobs that may
come up Some eight hour day, we will
say. Whitcher, the second shift, will
have the same labors TO perform ex-
eept that he will not have as many
trains. OF course, the company will
still insist that the station be handled
as rapidly as before and with no delay
to trains. Let's watch and see, We for
got to mention that on Sunday the
night mail north and south from New
York and Quebec, respectively, will not
run. Without doubt the railroads are
trying their best to drive what few
patrons there are back to some other
way of conveyance.

1919 MOST PROSPEROUS
YEAR RECORDED IN j. S.
More Money Made and Bigger
Salaries Paid Then Ever
Before.

Washington, July 26.-The calendar
year 1919-not the war year 1918, as
might be supposed--was the season OF
greatest prosperity, of the largest indi-
vidual incomes and of the handsomest
profits upon business OF any in the his
tory of the nation.
More money was made in that year
higher salaries and wages were paid
more dividends were declared. a great
er volume Of profits taken and heavier
taxes were paid than I'm any l2-month
period the country has ever known,
This is proved by the preliminary
report for 1919. made public by Com
missioner of Internal Revenue David
Fl. Blair. report which shows enor-
nous increases in all directions over
the returns made in 1917 and 1918.
How business for 1920 will compare
with that for 1919 remains to be
shown. The Treasury Department
knows in n broad way that the slump
has come. The amount of taxes paid
already proves that in all probability
it viii be a fun year before any de-
tailed analysis of the 1920 incomes and
profits can be made. 1t viii be months
before the last of the 1920 taxes are
paid in.
