for the first five months of 1922 afford
an interesting exhibit of figures In view

penses for the carriers for the five
months period were $220, 0O0, 900 less than
those of the corresponding period last
year, chiefly owing to the wage reduc-
tions effected as Of July 1. 1921. in
creased efficiency and operating econ
omies. Expenditures for maintenance of
way were lowered s7.500,000 and those
for equipment repairs $4O.000000 The op-
Grating ratio fell from 80 per cent. in the
1921 five months period to SOL per cent. in
the 1922 period. New York Central, Bal.

publication of its operating results for
June, which showed operating income
after taxes at the highest figure for the
month of June In the last ten years,

amounted to $2.143,043 saved out of
gross operating revenues of $11.25Q,027.
cUntrasted with s1,55O.7s1 In net and
$11,753.459 in gross for June. 1921. "The
results for June we consider very satis-
factory" said Mr.. Hayden. The ratio
of expenses to operating revenues,
namely. 1901 per cent, is substantially
better than our 1921 ratio. We estimate
that the loss in freight revenue for the
first six months of 1922, due to the re-
duction In rates which was made effec-
tive In January last on grain and live
stock. amounts to about $4,000. .000."

 Tops of Warehouses

New York, Sept, 19.-Artists are planning to desert Greenwich Village and migrate to warehouse roofs along the Manhattan waterfronts, according to Julian Bowes, chairman of the rent committee of the American League of Artists, Inc, who has called a meet ing of artists and real estate men to arrange for wholesale studio building on the tops of commercial buildings along the Hudson and East rivers,
 Such a move is necessary to escape from immoral, bootlegging and dille- tant neighbors who have forced up the rents in the Greenwich Village and other artistic sections. according to MT. Bowes and other artists. Stu dio rents have been multiplying chief ly it is alleged, by the competition Of bourgeois people who know nothing of art, but like to wear flowing ties and live in the midst of temptations.

RELIEVED CAT HAD
 SWALLOWED JEWELS
Customs House Inspector Wanted
 to Kill Animal for Proof

Baum, Black Sea, Sept. 19-Trav- elers in and out of this port, the cen- ter of transit to and from Tifis Baku and points in Persia are learn ing how to circumvent some of the restrictions of the Soviet authorities
 There is the case of the pet cat of Xenia. Xenia Makitzona, an expon- ent of Russian dancing who Is not unknown in Boston and other Ameri- can cities, had to return to Petrograd on personal business. This concluded she came south. and was lately in Baum anxious to go to Trebizond down the coast in Turkish territory to fulfill a dancing engagement. The port authorities suspected she was trying to bid them farewell, and at the same time carry away few of the jewels for which Russia has be- come famous. So they began their game They detained Xenia; searched her, and took away her money. Still she would go.
 Wanted to Kill Cat
 "All right" they said finally If you insist; but you can't take that Angora cat. We have a little idea you have fed her jewels, and that once aboard the steamer"
 Tears Xenia shed them copiously, but the shower was in vain. Then an official said he believed he would cut the cat open anyway, then and there.
 Whereupon there came to the front Mir. Maklitzona Xenia's manager, theatrical. diplomatic, and otherwise, and her husband. Let man handle this situation he declared. Cut the cat open" he said, but on these terms if jewels are found in her insides. you MT. Customs Inspector can shoot me. If there are no jewels, l will shoot you. There is the pistol; these are my sporting terms. Go ahead and cut
 But no officia could withstand this evidence of good faith. He let them go to Trebizond all three, the dancer, the diplomat and the cat. He now tells the story on himself, and still insists the cat carried the jewels.

The Menace of the Hobo.

During the past few weeks there
have been three or four cases Of ho-
bos committing small robberies or
making demands at residences for
food and lodging. In nearly every
case the people injured or threatened
have not reported to the authorities
for several days and nothing could
be done about It, One man is said
to have brought q tramp down town
from his home to get him room
after the tramp had demanded that
he be lodged for the night, and after
getting him to the rooming house
the tramp refused to take the room.
The proper thing to do if a hobo
comes to your house is to be brave
and chase him out, he will go and
will not come back to burn you out
either.

new COLD Storage
WAREHOUSE one
OF BEST in STATE

The new cold storage plant built
during the winter by Gus Nelson
and his associates, has been in OPP
GRAFTON for some weeks. The plant
is located at the former Grebe ice
house on the railroad tracks, and is
model of its kind. The walls of
the building were made consider
ably thicker and were thoroughly
insulated, then equipped with pipes
connected with an ammonia cooler
operated by a ten horse power mo-
tor. The main room is now filled
with 800 tons of ice cut on the town
reservoir, and is held at a tempeTa-
ture of "a above zero. In addi-
ton to the ice and machinery rooms
there are cold storage rooms to be
rented to persons needing them. 1t
is planned at later date to install
churn and an ice cream equip
ment and operate a creamery in
connection with the cold storage
plant.
