GOODNESS SAVES MANS LIFE
Catches Hold of Feed Wire Carrying
$4,000 Volts, Keeps His Head
and Breaks Circuit.

New York.-George B. Wagner, an
electrician of Dorchester, Mass, caught
hold of feed wire carrying $4,000
volts while working on defective wiz
ing in the power house of the New
York Central railroad at Locust ave-
nue. and One Hundred and Forty-third
street
$ The wire was loose and came to
Wagner's chest, but instead of trying
to pull himself away he dropped slowly
to, his knees, pulling the wire down
with him until he was able to touch
the concrete floor with his elbows.
This broke the circuit and Wagner
was thrown loose from the wire.
He was sent to Lincoln hospital,
where he was treated for burns about
the hands, face and neck. He was
able to work again few days later.

rate in order to meet dwindling
prices in over flooded markets.
1T has become Qu;se the Gus
tom to say that the railroads
will have a net income this year
of 900 million dollars. This is a
big sum to a man who has no
cash and whose notes are due at
the bank while his crops decline
in value or cannot be moved.
None ever tells the farmers that
the railroads earned only three
and one third per cent in 1921.
How many business firms would
be satisfied with any such re-
turn?
"What the farmers need now
is not lower rates. They need
cars and they want them moved
promptly, and more than cars
they need a business like sys-
tenn of disposing of the crops
they produce. If you doubt this
you have only to watch the
prices go down when grain and
livestock receipts at the big CEN
ters go up"

SAYS LARGE CROPS
AREN'T GOOD TIMES
(by Associated Press)

St. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 1.-THE
worst bit of economic buncombe
prevalent today is the belief that
!argecrops mean good times for
farmers, Charles Dillon. assist
ant to the chairman. Western
PRESIDENTS committee of the
Association of Railway Execu-
tlves told members of the Traf-
nc Club here last night.
This year, due to the political
speeches OF radical candidates
for office. the farmers have fall
en- into the mistake Of blaming
their troubles mainly to high
rates charged by railroads, he
said adding that rates have lit
tile to do with it.
In an address in Chicago. 7.
K. Howard, president of the
American Farm Bureau. estimat-
ed the total annual income of
the farmers at about $10,976,OO0-
COO" Dillon said. "Of this
amount, farmers spent about s.
Ol8,34O5000. for goods, machinery
and general commodities. Inter
est took approximately one bill
lion dollars. Taxes. amounted to

THE Federation figures that
the farmers pay twenty percent
of the freight rates, or about
$Soo,0o0,0oo a year in freight
rates. If that is true then only
eight per cent of the farmers to-
tai expenditure is for. general
commodities, machinery, inter
est, taXes-all of which have in
creased as much or more than
railway charges. Il must be
cellar that the farmers are not
being ruined by. something cost
ing them only eight per cent Of
the whole sum they spend every
year.
With bumper crops prices de-
cline. Some crops would not
yield the farmers a fair return
If the railroads carried them to
market free. According. to lat
est figures, farmers produced
about $50 million bushels of po-
'tatoes last year and received
from 81 to $l:50 a brtshel. They
have grown more than $50 mill
lion bushels this year and the
price is down to IS to 40 cents
a busheb with poor demand
even at that price.
Fruit was grown so enro-
mously this year that prices
went to pieces and thousands of
tons were thrown away or per-
mitted to rot. While railroad
rates may be blamed for part of
this loss it is quite obvious that
with their present operating
costs, their uhdeubted need for
new capital for development,
the roads cannot afford to carry
these crops at an 'out-of-pocket

Action OF the. Board of Children's

Commissioners aroused, but il was

Mrs. Edmund Brennan. chairman OF
the investigating committee OF the

continued removal OF children by the
guardians as IAN arbitrary exercise
Of authority contrary to the expressed
