Z That the Monong gahela Railway

on the seniority rights Of the
shopmen who participated in the
strike on July is evidenced by a
circular letter distributed broad.

has been received in F,airmont.
The circular dated August 2
and signed by H. c. Mutt. presi--

follows:
"To all concerned: In view Of

When the strike was first declar-
sed the question of seniority was

stated by the strikers, officials that
they considered that if they return

However a short time alter the

Of the public that umpired the con-

this year as it has been on several
campaign occasions of the past, be-
cause the contests were consplcus

warfare when they should be grap-

DISPUTE OVER LEADERSHIP

The newspapers over the state
have been quite unanimous in Civ
mig to Joe Foreman credit for be-
ing the leader of the gang of es
capped convicts captured in this
vicinity a short time ago. Other
members of the gang do not take
kindly to this, King being espec-
tally peeved, and takes that honor
to himself, which leads the Beres-
ford Republic to comment as fol-
lows:
This is an honor one would ma
turally think under the circum-
stances he would be glad to pass
uncontested. King may have been
the king and Foreman may have
been foreman of the gang, but

QUINN BALL TEAM
NOT SATISFIED

The Quinn ball team went to
Philip last Friday and played with
the Nowln team, winning in a
score of to s. The purse was $50
and our boys understood that the
play was for the entire purse. But
when the game was over Nowlin
came in with the claim that the
purse was to be equally divided.
Philip did not decide on this claim
at the time but allowed Quinn to
come home, saying that the matter
would be decided and the check
sent later.
The Quinn boys are unanimous
in declaring that the first they
heard Of an equal division Of the
money was when the game was
over and Nowlin defeated. Had
this been understood before the
game. Quinn would not have play
ed. They are too good sportsmcn
to play in a game on sure thing

purse is very unusual. If the purse
is divided the winner almost uni
yersally is given more than half
But Philip has sent check for

nation that the Courant can get

practice. If there had been an un-

be equally divided, there was no

last year or two, constructed COM

WHO IS THE GOAT?

On June Is, 1922, there were
Is, 1879 officials and l670,2l5 9TH
er employees, making a total of
l.6S5,4n people engaged in the OPP
Grafton Of the railroads Of the
United States. On the lst day Of
September there were about 2O0,-
600 still out on strike.
With the most liberal compu-
tation there are less than three
per cent of the people of the Uni
ted States engaged in operating
the railroads at this time 1t is fair
to assume that tbs body of people
should be held responsible to the
ninety-seven per cent who are the
producers and consumers, support
ing the railroads and likewise are
dependent upon the railroads.
The success Of the farmer and
the average business man depends
very largely on railroad rates and
railroad service An excessive rail
road rate or an inadequate rail-
road service will strangle our agri-
cultural and commercial interests
and, as result, paralyze our
whole system Of commerce and in

they should Immediately institute
a system whereby efficiency, will
be the watchword and whereby a

for every dollar paid in salary or
wage. A few cents per hour or
few cents guaranteed on capital
invested will not materially re-
duce our already excessive freight
rate but the elimination of all sal

SELECT MORE THAN
ENOUGH SEED CORN

When gathering seed corn sell

many ears as will be needed fol
next years corn acreage, suggests
Ralph E. Johnston, extension ag-
economist at State college.
by doing this" he says, there
are enough ears to permit of Sc
lection Of the best ears for seed
This is necessary because every
ear picked in the field is not a
seed ear and some will fail during
the termination test. If there is
any surplus Of this seed it readily
sells at good price and it often
happens that such seed comes in
very nicely to plant the fields the
second year.
IN looking for the proper ears
to pick, select them from vigor-
Gus stalks that show vitality, early
maturity and as large a size as
will properly mature each year
Pick from disease free stalks. Do
not select from stalks that are
dead ripe or prematurely ripe. Sc
lect ears from stalks that will show
some green or signs of still having
some life, because such stalks are
maturing after a natural manner
and are healthy. The husks cover
ing ears on these stalks should
show a change in color indicating
that ears are ripening.
Ears should be selected from
stalks which have yielded best in
equal competition with other stalks
Select ears that are at a conven-
lent height on the stalk. Ears
should be on medium short shank
which will allow ear to take a
dropping position. Do not select
ears with broken shanks as this
is ordinarily a sign Of disease. The
ears should be examined and those
showing good kernels well dented
straight rows, well filed and Of
the proper size and type for the
variety, should be selected.
Select before a killing frost,
and as soon as the corn is mature
If corn is too large or late a ma
turing variety it may not mature
ears early enough. In this event,
select the good early ears or secure
an earlier variety
