PENNSYLVANIA
BACKS DOWN;
WILL MEET BOARD

Chicago.-The strategy board Of
the Pennsylvania railroad has retreat
ed under the fire Of publicity aimed
at it in its controversy with the rail
road labor board. The railroad man
ayers have changed front, and Presi-
dent Rea has notified the board that
he will appear before il TO explain its
controversy with the Brotherhood of
Railway Clerks.
This dispute is similar TO that with
the roads system federation. The
road insisted on the right TO say who
its employees shall select 10 represent
them in wage negotiations. The trade
union employees replied that this is
their own affair. The railroad labor
board ruled that the road has no more
right to interfere in this matter than
the workers would have the right to
say who the roads stockholders
should elect TO represent them.
The board ordered the road to hold
a new election for its system fedora
ton employees. This was two years
ago, but the order has not been
obeyed. Now the board has ordered
the road TO hold a new election in the
case of its railway clerks. This was
likewise ignored, and the board called
on President Rea to appear before it,
Mr.. Rea has concluded to accept
which in itself is concession by this
autocratic corporation.

COOPERATION TO IMPROVE
COMMUNITY RELATIONS

Quincy Lowe, originator OF the Ne
osho plan of community building ad-
dressed more than a hundred repre-
sentatives of the various lines of bust
ness in Livingston at a luncheon pro-
gram held at the Grabow hotel. He
presented to the Livingston business
men an idea of cooperation which
has been proved out In other cities
and towns where the idea has been
adopted and which has created a bet
ter feeling between city and town and
making for friendly and profitable re-
latfonship between merchant and
farmer. The idea started IS years
ago at Neosho, Mo-, and since been
extended to various cities and towns.
After his talk a sufficient number OF
business men thought well enough of
the idea to pledge their support to 1t
and to make a success of 1t. At the
meeting Mr.. Lowe suggested that at
least 80 members of representative
business houses agree to give the
proposition a thorough test or drop
the idea entirely.

WHEAT YIELDS
FIFTY BUSHELS

AS a contestant for the summer
tillage club production prize, X. ID.
Sarver and A. e. Rogers have entered
a 20-acre tract on their farm, 10M
miles southwest of Broadview, on
which they have harvested a crop
OF winter wheat that averaged a lit
tie more than so bushels to the acre.
The land is not irrigated but was
summer fallowed. according to the
directions of the summer tillage club
OF the Montana Development associa-
ton, which is offering the prizes.
The wheat is of the turkey red
variety, planted last fall. and is be-
ing graded as number one dark nor
thern with no dockage at the eleva-
tor where Ii is being delivered direct
from the big combination harvester
and thresher being used In harvest
ing the crop.
Sarver and Rogers, who are farm
Ing their two places together, have
426 acres of wheat, all of which has
been summer fallowed but only 90
acres OF which has been entered In
the contest. Most of their crop is
winter wheat, although they have a
considerable acreage of spring wheat
they have not started to cut. Mr..
Sarver said they had suffered a slight
hail damage in spots on the ranches,
n OF the heaviest being on the 30
acres entered In the contest. Other
farmers In that vicinity. he said. had
been less fortunate than they and In
areas the hail losses had

ing to Mr.. Sarver, have done little |
damage to that section as a whole.

letter. Letter is now in the mails.
DO not let the inslnuations of that
narrow-minded Priscilla Bradford
prejudice you against the sweetest
girl in all the world. The para
graphs Priscilla sent you were just
bits of the modern newspaper SEN
sationalism. Leslie is probably tae
most popular girl in Sharon and as
such every movement of her ador-
able eyelashcs would he considered
news at this time. Rest assured,
mother dear, ! would not have mar
ried Priscilla lad she been the last
woman on earth. ! know ] am shock
ing you with this telegram, but am
incensed at Priscilla Bradford and
even little annoyed at you. my
dear mother, that you could not un-
dcrstand the animus of her COM
munication. You will understand
whcn you see Leslie why love her,
but ] am sure you will not under
stand any more than do why such
II wonderful girl as she could con-
sent to marry such an average chap
as your son.

LETTER FROM MARY ALDEN
PRESCOTT TO HER SON, JOHN
ALDEN PRESCOTT

MY DEAR SON:
confess had the greatest pang
of my life when Il read the enclosed
clipping announcing your coming
marriage to the daughter of some
family totally unknown to me.
l had always dreamed that my
son would be the first to confde to
his mother when he found girl
that ae would like to marry. 1t has
been one of my illusions that you
would bring the girl to me, your
,mother, before you even asked the
imomentous question. You might
have your impulsive choice confirm
ed by the mature Judgment of the
mother who has your best interests
at heart.
The enclosed clipping was sent to
me by dear Priscilla Bradford, who
is visiting your third cousin, Mary
Alden, in Sharon.
Priscilla writes that your fancce,
Miss Hamilton, belongs to what is
called the smart set of Sharon. She
describes them as "a little coterie
of people who all have good deal
Of money which in most cases must
make up for lack of birth and
breeding"
! She did not say that the Hamil-
tons are one Of these ceases" and I
cannot bring myself to think that
taey are. for surely lineal desccn-
dant of John Alden could not select
wife from those who by accident
OF money only have become part
of that more or less spurious class
we call American aristocracy.
! am Erevously hurt, John, that
YOU have seen fit to let your mother
become aware Of this momentous
event in your life through another
Surely, after you,>I am the one most
interested.
Priscilla said in her letter that
you probably had written me. for,
ever since Leslie What Il queer
namely Hamilton lis she a des-
ccndant of that illegitimate Alex
ander Hamilton who fought duel
with Aaron ,Burr?D arrived home.
there has been nothing in the So
ciety columns of the newspapers en-
cept accounts Of the parties that
have been given for her, and the
elaborate trousscau she is prepar-
ing
She even sent ME a clipping which
said that Miss Leslie had purchas ed
a niehtdrcss which was the replica
of the wedding nightdress of re-
cent royal bride. cannot bring my
self to send that to man, even if
that man be my son.
! hope that Miss Hamilton's ia
Their has properly avenged this in
suit to his daughter ere his, upon
the editor of this terrible news
paper.
Jchn, up to this time. the women
of your family have always pridcd
themselves that their names have
appeared in the newspapers
