Horse And Buggy Days

road to Hagerstown had been prom
ising advantages to the people by
direct contact with the Baltimore
markets, and that they were right,
was shown by the fact that wheat
jumped in price five cents on the
bushel almost as soon as that first
train appeared. But the real adj
vantage proved to be great for
everyone in the years that followed.
One of the early aims, and wise
one, was to complete the road to
Williamsport, to connect with the
Canal. BY this, coal coming down
from the mine sections could be sent
to Baltimore as well as to Washing
ton This section of track, referred
to at the start of today's column,
was finished the next year after the
completion of the track to Hagers-
town
The first train TO Williamsport was
the occasion for another great cele-
bration. Practically every one of
the railroads officials was on board,
as well as Governor William Pink
ney Whyte, the Hon. w. T. Hamilton,
E. NJ Mobley, and other senators
and guests A great throng of
people met the train with cheers and
demonstrations of JOY" Church
bells rang as the train entered the
town, flags flew from every window;
at the canal-the end of the track
a band upon a decorated canal barge
played its welcome. The accom-
plished ladies of the town treated
them to a banquet, and the officials
finally retreated by way of the rails.
An outstanding citizen of Williams
port who had much to do with the
completion of this part of the road,
was Samuel Lefevre.
The story of the Western Mary
land will be continued next week.

Nor do these include gross income of
dealer-owned cooperatives and other
organizations not generally recogniz-
ed as tax-eXempt but which use the
patronage dividends. Thus the total
gross volume of business income for
the year 1915, estimated as above
stated, amounts to $11.57l 100000
Based on this gross figure, Mr..
Parker developes the trend, and he
estimates gross income for the years
1912 to 1850, inclusive, as well as
the tax revenue lost for those years.
Amendments Considered
While new legislation is under
consideration by the Ways and
Means Committee, it is natural that
the feeling for and against coopera-
tives would run high. Lack of under
standing of the exemptions adds to
the confusion. For example, Repre-
sentative Wright Patman of Texas
is quoted as having said last Thurs
day reported by the Associated
Press that "a partnership in busi-
ness occupies exactly the same tax
status as coop is so far as patron

Ne,U Year Marks the
Birth of Great Men

JANUARY / has marked the birth
y Of no less than three prominent
Americans who have played a vital
role in the development Of their
country.
OF the three, Paul Revere Is the
most famous. Born in 1735 to q
French goldsmith named Rivors,
who had changed 1t to Revere. Paul
followed in his fathers footsteps to
become one of the leaders Of the
metalware industry in the infant re-
public. But his chief distinction, Of
course, lay in his historic midnight
ride Of ITS to warn the New Eng
land countryside that the Redcoats
were coming.
"Mad Anthony" Wayne, one Of
the most colorful figures in Ameri-
can history, was born on New
Years Day in 1745 in Chester Coun-
ty, Pa. A relentless and aggressive
fighter, he distinguished himself
at Brandywine, Germantown and
White Marsh in the Revolutionary
war, and then aided in subduing the
Indians in the west to permit the
settlement Of the new country be-
yond the Alleghenies.
NEW YEARS Day, 1852, Betsy
~ Ross was born Elizabeth Girls
com in Philadelphia, Pa. She mar
ried the merchant Ross and aided
him in the upholstery business
gaining wide recognition for heI
attractive materials and skillfu
shapes. Washington, Franklin anc
Adams were among the Ross Gus
toners, SO when the Continental
Congress of 1777 resolved that flal
symbolizing the thirteen colonies bt
made, Betsy's friends at court hat
her commissioned for the work.
