VAN WYCK ITEMS OF RECENT DATE . \ Estimates Say That Peach Crop N Will He Short This i Year. j t Van "Wyck, March 29.?The public roads leading into Van Wyck have been cut into ruts and holes by wag- , ons hauling fertilizers, lumber and . logs during the wet days of the past week; but the road drjjgs are now being used and they will be put in | nice shape. , If the farmers and others interest- | ed in good roads would adopt the . plan to drag the roads after each | tain before they get too hard we j would have fairly good roads over < the county at all times. However. < there are some places where the < drainage is deficient, and needs more > than the road drag to put them in 1 good shape. These places are very onnoying to the traveler, and the t road can not be said to be good until * these bad places are fixed. The r county board should see after these 1 weak places and give th?*m the t proper work, and then the citizens * use the drag from one end of the i road to the other. This could be f done in short sections, at very little i cost and time. The saving in the wear of vehicles and stock would v greatly overbalance the cost of the " work, not taking in consideration the pleasure and satisfaction of travel- v ing over good roads. Besides it ' shows public spirit and patriotism I1 to do this needed work, and those ? who will carry out this plan will have the approval and thanks of the trav- s eling public. We have often ad- ? mired the good work along this line 1 of the Mess.s. Craig, Cousar and 11 Robinson, north of Lancaster, where ? you find good roads at all times I y their united efforts with the road ? drag. Others in the county have e caught the progressive spirit of these ~ thrifty men and are doing some good work. Many others should follow and let Lancaster rnnntv Iprwl Wo flncl from an examination of the orchards that about tfty pei cent of the peach crop is destroyed.

The dedicaion says: Nearly nineteen hundred years igo the Son of God, as he stood in a eniple in Jerusalem, was asked; 'Which is the lirst commandment ot , ill?" lie replied. "Thou shalt love the ami thy God." This is the first com ( Diandment, and the second is like un lo it; "Thou slialt love thy neighbor j is thyself." There is no command-j nent greater than these." Today the great, sorrowful eyes of this same, Son or God gaze down upon blacken I id fields, where the mangled bodies >f men are strewn as grains of .vheat, upon flaming, shattered ham- I tts and stricken firesides. As Ho listens to the screaming of he shells, the crashing of monstrous ( ;uns. all the ghastly symphony of the oddest war mankind has ever known lis heart must recognize th ? bitter ruth in the statement of one of the. vorld's foremost educators?that ti? lineteen centuries Civilization hasi ailed to accept honestly the teach-1 ngs of Jesus Christ.

(id More Revenue From All Lines of Country. Washington, March 27.?Genera increase in freight rates will be sought, piobubly within the next 1(? days, by ra'l roads in every section of the United States. Preliminary steps were taken today by virtually all ruilroads concern ?d in an informal conft'enre with the interstate commerce commission. definite announcement was made thit the advance asked for Eastern loads would be 15 per cent on all commodities except on bituminous coal and coke. Representatives of Western lines indicated that they too would ask for 1 C per cent. Railroads or the Southwest submitted figures showing that Increases ranging between 18 and 21.4 per cent were needed to meet additional costs of opemtion already existing in the case of five lines. Southern railloads will determine the percentage of increase desired at a conference here next Friday. ? No authority will be sought under present proceedings to increase passenger fares. In addition to the proceedings before tbe interstate commerce commission concerning interstate rates, spokesmen for the railroads let it ho known that they are .preparing to go before every State railroad and public utilities commission in the union to ask for authority to increase tlieii freight tariffs on intrastate traffic. More Money funics In. Rut one dissenting voice was raisert at today's conference. A. E. Helm, representing the public utilities commission of Kansas, cited figures to uphold his contention that the railroad emergency was not so pressing as it had been depicted and that net Incomes of the r<*ds last year were tremendously greater than the year aefore. Telegraphic protests against the proposed Increases poured into the ltlices of the commission all day. Commissioner Clark announced that he "house was full of protests already." In the case of all railroads except hose in the South, the request for lYnendment of the rules so as to pernit a prompt general advance in rntna urfia h:i?f?fl nrimnrllv on thp 'round that the cost of labor, fuel, Mjuipment and supplies had risen to inexpected levels and that taxes also were much higher than last year. President Harrison of the Southern railway, speaking for the Southern lines, declared the roads of his section were prosperous and would continue to make money, even ?un[ler present conditions, but that without an advance in rates "they ould not grow." The prime need of Southern railroads, he said, was capital and this could not be obtained witli earning capacity curtailed as inder present conditions. II. F. Rush, receiver of the Missouri Pacific, told the commission hat without any advance in freight ates there was but one alternative? government ownership. To Hasten Actioiy What the roads propose to do, reuesentatives of both the^Eastern and \'< tern lines declared, is >o file sn, domental tariffs to all existing rates, ncreasing them by a given percent?ge. In this way proceedings could >e hastened and the roads would not 'ace a burden of $300,000 to $400,>00 for printing new specific tariffs.

An interesting marriage took place i.i Lancaster today at high noon when Miss Annie Pauline C'raig became the bride of John D.istin iSnipes. The young people are f-oni Jcraigville and are ,ve;y popular in their community.. . 4 \n interesting feat-K.ro of the wedding was the fact that the young people came to Lancaster last year on Held day for the purpose of getting married, but the br:de was too young at that time and the ceremony was not performed. She then promised her parents that the marriage would r.ot take place for at least one year and today's ceremony marked the end of the year. The marriage was performed by Rev. I). \V.
