PENNSY HANDLED MILLION
MORE CARS DURING 1922

PHILADELPHIA, January 16.--In-
dicative Of the extent to which the
country's railroads were taxed during
1922, as compared with previous
years, are the statistics, just released
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, showing that the movement Of
revenue freight over it's lines in
creased nearly 100000 cars during
the year The figures show a total
of 7,4ss,221 revenua freight cars
handled as compared with 6,651, 1853
in 1921, and with 7,651,259 in 1920.
Had it not been for the coal and
railroad strikes it Is quite evident
that a much higher figure would have
been reached.

NEW YORK, January 16.-Today's
weakness in the bond market was
not surprising in view OF all the cir
cumstances.
In the first place the European dis
patches reported multiplying Difficult
ties for the French and franc ex-
change and French bonds reacted ac-
cordingly.
In the second place, the market
faced the Anaconda financing to the

tomorrow. This big block comes or
top of last weeks heavy output OF
new issues and the consequent clog

especially when 1t is remembered thai
tho purpose of the offering of these
mortgage bonds is the acquiring OF

FOR SOUND MONEY

Senator Oddis Of Nevada, chair.
man Of the United States Senate
commission to investigate the
problems of gold and silver min
ing. has allayed the fear that
Western Senators, in their zeal to
aid the cause OF silver, might
launch an unsound money wave.
II am for sound money" Senator
Oddie says. There is no thought
of bimetalism or departing from
the gold standard. We desire to
help the great mining industry, but
not through the creation Of an un-
sound currency"
The commission Is to study and
report on the causes of the con-
tinuing decrease in the production
of gold and silver; the causes Of
the depressed condition of the
gold and silver mining industry in
the United States: the production,
reduction, refining, transportation,
marketing, sale, and uses Of gold
and silver in the United States and
elsewhere: and the effect of the
decreased production OF gold and
silver upon commerce, industry,
exchange and prices.

Lightning Wrecks
But DoessNot Burn
Farm Building

Only miracle seems to have saved
the house Of Albert v. French, Route
10, Gardiner, which was struck by
lightning during the terrific shower
Saturday evening. The house stands
in v shapedspiece Of land between
two cross roads. Mr.. French was
asleep in one room facing one road
while his housekeeper was sitting
near the chimney in a room facing
the other cross road. The lightning
struck the chimney taking it COM
pletely off the house scattering the
bricks to both sides. Then the
lightning entered and tore the plas-
tering or ripped boards from prac-
tically every room in the house leav-
ing tiny holes similar to bullet holes.
In the room where Mr.. French was
asleep the lightning struck the iron
bedstead some two feet from Mr..
French's head without harming him
in any way. The house was not set
fire to and there was no sign of fire
except a red spark which was seen
smouldering in one place where the
lightning left the house.

and we were glad to see old men,
bers who had been absent returning
as well as our brothers of the Heda
striving to swell our association so
it will be second to none in the
state. And we extend an invitation
to all who desire to see the old tub
come out victorious and bring honor
to the City Of Gardiner and credit
to herself. Now to accomplish those
two things great preparation and
sacrifice must be made: First by the
members; second by the citizens of
Gardiner. AS the old tub has been
put in A No. 1 order and has proved
herself not only in practice but in
her first muster this year at West
brook where she played in the money
against gale of wind. So reader of
this note let us stop knocking and
start busting, and If you can't come
out and give us a lift on the brakes
which we would appreciate, speak
encouragingly to the boys, speak
we'll of the tub, send your friend over
to join US. and in so doing do your
little bit. be spoke in the wheel of
progress instead of a stone in its
path. Now the Association are about
to launch drive for $500. With this
sum the association will purchase a
home Of their own and move it to
lot and put it in repair so in the
years to come the boys Of Gardiner
will have a home of their own. So
citizens of Gardiner, comrades,
ladies, and well wishers II you will
lend us little of your assistance,
combined with a pleasant smile, a
good wish and a little finance when
the call comes we will assure you in
return a prize winning hand tub. a
pleasant hall, handsome uniformed
company and a snappy fife and drum
corps, all Of and for the City of
Gardiner.
Don't forget the next regular
meeting Friday. July 20. 7.3o sharp.
Come and bring a new candidate
with you.

BANKING REFLECTS BUSINESS
"lnternatIcnal Farmer" and Other
Business Men Who Sell to For.
eiun Markets Create Demand
for International FInan-
ctal Service.

The idea that bankers engaged
in financing foreign trade and in
handling foreign bond fiotations are
a particular cult Of international
bankers" actuated by motives diff
fering from those Of other bankers
was refuted recently by Otto H.
Kahn Of New York. in an address
before the Rochester Chamber Of
Commerce.
There is no such thing as an
international Banker in America,
as the meaning Of the term is gen.
orally understood" Mr.. Kahn said.
"He exists in the imagination Of
people all too numerous, but he
does not exis. in the flesh. You
might just as we'll speak of the
international Farmer because the
farmer sells a certain percentage
Of his crops to Europe. or OF the
'Internationa, Manufacturer
"The banker maintains, and can
maintain, international contact.
and conduct international bust.
ness, only to the extent that Amer
lean industry, commerce and agri.
culture are international. True,
the banker must take within his
purview continuously the condi-
tions of affairs and the current of
things throughout the world. but
SO must the exporter and importer,
and so must the farmer take into
account the prices and tendencies
of the world market in Liverpool.
Banking Mostly Homo Business
"The American bankers market
is the home market. His success
is conditioned upon the capacity
and willingness of the American
investor to absorb the securities
which he offers. His very exist
ence depends upon the confidence
and cooperation Of the public and
of his Northumberland any
banker whose activities would
| Justly create the impression that
he was actuated by cosmopolitan
rather than by American interests
would very soon lose that conf.
dence and following.
"The business which he does for
his own account in, with, or for
Europe, is inconsiderable as com.
pared to the business he does in
America. His principal functions
in relation to Europe are to pro.
