ID HEAR TALK BY
 TRAFFIC EXPERT Jesse B. AtWater to Explain Pro- posed Increase by Railroads WALLACE BRADLEY BURIED
Health Association Meeting - Re- move Machines -- Appoints Com- mittecs-High School Notes - Plainyillo Briefs.

l Jesse D. AlWdtcT, lrdlllC manager of the American Hardware Corp, of New Britain, will speak at the reg ular meeting of the Plainville Cham Der of Commerce at headquarters Thursday night on the present fight being waged by the New. England traffic league against the proposed increase in freight rates from New England points to the middle west
 Mir. Atwater, who is a native of Forestvillo and was employed at the local freight station for a long num- Der of years, is recognized as traf- fic expert and is considered an au- thority on rates and other data con- nected with railroading.
 He will explain what the. proposed rate increases mean and will tell of the efforts to be made by the New England Traffic league before the interstate commerce commission to prevent the railroads from putting the increases through.
 The efforts of the railroads to put through the increase in rates from NtW IsH6ldhu Iolillo iN tAS west and vice-versa, will, 1t is claim ed, affect the manufacturers in this section of the country to a great ex- tent and will be detriment 10 their business. The rates will affect all goods shipped from New England to points between the Hudson river and the Mississippi. and, the New England manufacturers claim. will give the manufacturers in the mid dle west an unfair advantage over those in this section. The manufac- turers here, they claim, do a large business in the middle west and the manufacturers there do not do any where near the amount of business here and although the rates will be
 effective both ways, they will work hardship on this section and will
 make unfair competition.
 Mir. Atwater's knowledge of this question is one which is respected and his appearance Thursday eve
 ming will result in one of the most interesting discussions of the present
 plans of having speakers at the monthly meetings. Arrangemen : have been made with Principal A.
 R. Ham to postpone his talk sched-
 uled for this meeting. He has prom iscd to appear at the monthly meet : ing in February. The entire mem- bership of the PIainviIe Chamber of Commerce is invited to be present . and it is expected that one of the largest crowds of the year will be on hand to hear Mir. Atwater.

REMOVE THEM, DULUTH.

The traveller to Duluth from the
range has a wonderful panorama lalG
before him as the city and the lake
first appear. 1t is one of the really
great sights of Minnesota. A city
with its buildings and it's industries
is in itself wonderful sight, but a
still rarer scene exists when the blue
of the Great Lake meets the gray O!
distance.
But what do you see from the most
advantageous position? You catcl
the glimpse of color, blue, red, yellow
and before you stands out, not the
spectacular works of man and nature
but the outdoor signs, telling you what
to wear, what to drink, what to smoke
or what to eat.
1t is disgrace. No city ought to
permit it and no self-respecting COM
pany ought to utilize, for commercial
purposes, situation Of such great
opportunity for public pleasure.
1t is bad advertising for Duluth, bad
advertising for the companies which
display their products upon the
boards. We should think that boy
colt, rather than increased business,
would be the result of such a traves-
ty.-Grand Rapids Review.

For Safety-NOt Revenue

Enforcement of highway traffic
regulations should have the singel aim
of greater public safety and good or
der, and fines, fees or other revenue
production should receive absolutely
no consideration in that connection,
said Charles M. Babcock, state high
way commissioner, recently.
Mr.. Babcock contended that the
counties and cities and villages now
employing traffic officers or speed
cops" can better afford to pay them
salaries out of tax funds than to
have them on free basis. The latter
practice puts premium on arrests,
he pointed out. The traffic officer
is always human and only when his
compensation is fixed and paid indie
pendently of the revenue his work
produces does he use common sense
and judgment. Enforcement of traf-
fic laws to the absolute letter with
out regard to varying conditions sur
rounding every offense gives the of
fender the impression that he is being
prosecuted made a victim of a local
revenue producing system.
Highway traffic officers must be
employed locally on some of the heavy
travelled routes in as much as
the state has no authority or agency
for enforcing the regulations. But
they should be made to realize that
they can cost the community Indirect
ly many times the amounts they col
lect directly by failing to show cour-
tesy and reasonable judgment the
commissioner ASSERTED.

According to the World Almanac
the total estimated wealth of the
United States in 1922 was 1920, 8O3,-
$4,000 against $186, 299, $4,000 in
1912, or an increase in that period
of about seventy per cent. The pur-
chasing power of the dollar was
about one third less in 1922 than in
1912, so that the increase was not SO
great after all.
Yet as the August number of the
National Republic points out, the
wealth of the United States increased
from 1904 to 1912, period of eight
years 1873 per cent, measured in dol
lars of practically equal value.
But to go further: Belgium ma
tional wealth in 1912 was five and
half billions. In 1922 it had increased
to twelve billions, which is gain 1T
over 100 per cent, compared with our
gain of seventy per cent. From 1908
to 1912 the wealth of Italy increased
sixty per cent.
So it would seem that after all
Uncle Sam did not keep pace with
her European debtors in percentage
increase of wealth during the worlJ
struggle. :

State To Condemn
Lands At Shetek

Unable to arrive at satisfactory
settlement with owners of lands near
Lake Shetek, which are needed by the
state in order to carry out the plans
adopted to preserve the lake to fu-
ture generations, caused the State
Game & Fish Commissioner, j. F.
Gould, to start condemnation pro-
ceedings.
Several months ago Board of APP
pralsers was named to appraise the
lands, which committee set what they
considered fair price on the few
tracts needed. This committee was
later empowered to purchase tn said
lands at the appraisers prices, but in
few cases were unable to complete
negotiations.
Lands needed and which the owners
refuse to sell at the appraisal prices
include the tracts owned by Peter N.
Hanson, Ed. E. Mason and Mr.. Nc
Carton. who recently purchased 8
tract OF land from the Currie estate.
Mr.. Gould upon learning of the own
ers' refusal to sell took the matter no
with the Attorney Generals office who
on July 21st notified Mr.. Gould that
after a study of the case they had
arrived at the conclusion that con-
demnation proceedings should be in
stituted in behalf of the state against
the parties unable to reach a salts
factory agreement"
Some little data was necessary to
complete the needs in the Attorney
Generals office and this data was this
week forwarded to Mr.. Gould by the
appraisal committee and by E. G.
Minder, retained by the state as con-
sulting engineer.

FARMERS ARE SKINNED"

Two Minnesota farmers, who are
members of The Farmers Protective
Association, have recently had the
misfortune of suffering losses which
might have been prevented if they
had written to the Association first
| instead of last One has lost the
proceeds of one carload and the 9TH
er two carloads of hay, and nothing
can be done about it but resort to
criminal prosecution, which may land
the crook in Jail, but won't get them
their money.
When they couldn't get their money
they came to The Farmers Protective
that the buyer had no responsibility
whatever, and that apparently he
never intended at any time to pay
for the hay. Hay and grain com
mission merchants are under the SUI
pervision of the Minnesota Railroad
and Warehouse Commission and are
required to put up bond for the pro-
lection of shippers. The state has no
jurisdiction of any transaction in
volving hay and grain if it is an out
right purchase and sale, as was the
case in the two instances cited above.
You may ship hay and grain to be
handled on commission in this state
with safety, if you first take the pre-
caution to find out if the commission
man is licensed and bonded; and if
you sell outright to buyer that is
not known to you, the prudent thing
to do is to find out beforehand if the
buyer is responsible or else make is
strictly cash DEAL In either case
you may write to The Farmers Pro-
tective Association and we will fur
nish the information necessary. We
could have been of real service to the
two unfortunate farmers if they had
written to us first.
Likewise, a large number of farm
ers in North Dakota were unmerciful-
ly skinned last winter by two poultry
buying concerns in Pennsylvania
because the "fell' for big price offers
and in the rush to get these prices
they forgot to find out anything obut
the two concerns. Some of them
got no more than half of the prices
quoted, and others haven't received
anything at all. The post office de-
partment is working on these cases.
The companies will undoubtedly be
put out of business, but that doesn
help the people who have been Skin
