She Heda FORTY -TH IRD Y E A R NO. 21. TrainWrecked; DamageHeavy; RoneInjured. . How would you like to.be riding on » tram at the rate of sixty miles an hour and then be stopped in the twinkling o f an eye? Such was the experience Monday morning about four o’clock o f a breakman and a con ductor just east o f town. The second Section o f train No. 1227 going west composed o f eight loaded express cars and one passenger coach ^occupied by the conductor and break- man- When the train passed through South Charleston the night operator, Raymond Owens, noticed one car had a hat box. AS the train was past the . station and no one at the Selma office he called Hugh Grindle, the night op erator here and he gave e stop signal. But before the train , reached the station a journal had burned off of a freight car. Ijt rode until the north switch was reached and then left the track. Tile train was traveling about 60 miles an hour, and the force" With, which the car hit thes,landing freight cars must have been terriffic ndging from the damage to cars and tracks. Tht train broke leaving four cars derailed while the engine and.five cars went on and afterward* backed -up,-... , - ..5. / ’ Two of- the cars' on the train were loaded with sheet steel and these were a total wreck with mupk. of the steel damaged. Another express car and the passenger coach' beinng of' steel con struction did not turn over but buried themselves deep in the dirt Until the trucks and even steps o f the cars ceuld not be seen- Railroad ties were ground up as if they were tooth picks. The*freight cars on thp siding that Wdre demolished, were loaded with Buick automobiles. The first car ' struck was crushed as i f it was a tin can, Three autombiles Were a total loss and -it "is hard to describe the ■tangled mass they were found in. We have seen automobiles Wrecked on the highway but nothing to be as complete as were these. The Wrecking crews fromColumbufe annd Xenia were called as well as the section hands along'the -line, It re quired ten hours .to clear the wreck age and put the rails and road bed in condition. ■ * The loss on the .damaged freight ; and, the company will run into thous- , ands o f dollars.

The overall fad is having a reac tionary affect in certain quarters in the big cities. The average laboring man is compelled to wear overalls because of the nature of his work.-He must buy them, whatever the price. With the advent of the new. fad the city dealer, true to form, is boosting the price,. The faddist will pay the amount without objection, Will pa rade, in them until the nOvelty has worn off, and then return to his for mer raiment. The laborer will be com pelled to continue their use and to pay the additional price". He is making a noise—and with Some reason’. —Ex. SCHOOL PLAY A SUCCESS.

The means mfoch to Xenia, itlU ttif ( There is a new scheme being work ed among farmers that looks good on the face o f the proposition but when everything is taken into considera tion it is all one sided. It is said that a western concern is.agreeing to sell feeding cattle to farmers for graz ing purposes. The farmer puts up his money at 11 cents a pound and the company agrees to buy them back at 11 cents this fall, the farmer be ing paid for the.gain. He is also paid $10 a head for each head the farmer takes as good faith that the terms of the agreement will fce carried out, From the other side o f the ,contract we see things different. Say the com pany fails to take *the cattle back this fall, the farmer has the cattle and the,company’s $10 a head. But these same cattle today are worth nine and ten cents. To a man up a tree it looks like this was a scheme1o f un loading nine and ten cent cattle for eleven cents, * * , . * A ei.ty writer not long ago made the statement that farmers were all trying to fool one another by the talk that We Were to have reduced acerage on crops.

HERE’S A TIP ON GAS SAVING JONES PAYS THE FREIGHT If we read the press dispatches cor rectly it looks like the new Federal Railroad Board, recently appointed by President Wilson, is to grant the billion dollar wage increase demanded by over 2,000,000 railroad workers in the U. S. The Boar^ insists that this raise must be paid by the consumers in this country as freight rates sire to be raised to make the wage rate pos sible. This means that every commod ity used by rich and poor must cost the. consumer more, WREN COMPANY S6 l D.

The New Cariisie' Sun in speaking of the out-look ,for the farmer as to labor brings to light tne fact that the government is not doing its part to assist (in getting out crops and help uphold production. The Sun says that farm help is badly needed in that sec tion and that offers of $60 and $60 month, wages with free house rent, garden," feed for a limited amount of stock, etc is no attraction due to $ e fact .that the government is still pay- top,wages at the aviation plant at Fairfield, Every day trucks operate from New Carlisle anf Brandt to the avia.tion field hauling a half hundred men for government work that would otherwise be employed upon the farms as in years past The men afje not criticised for accepting the govern ment jobs hut the government is to blame in every respect for continu ing work that is not hard and Bhort hours at wages prohibitive ,for' farm help.
