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. Hut
1f no other disaster to this luscious 11
crop occurs there will yet be plenty. ai

are looking forward with pleasure to w
Field Day next Friday. This school "
will be well represented.

9 THE L
IN'CK'S DEDICATION.
Critics describe as a masterpiece,
rhomas H. Ince's dedication of his;
vonderiul photo-play, "Civilisation. *!
vhich ponies to the Star Theatre in i
Lancaster on Monday for exhibition
Monday and Tuesday. 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.
This is an allegorical story of a I
far that has laughed at the world's
taunting boast of a higher progress.
It does not concern itself as to
rhieh side is in the right or wrong; i

If the awful trial of battle,

f the narrative, it is in the hope
hat a shocked anu appalled wprld

THE LANCASTER NEWS
RAILROADS PLAN PLEA
FOR INCREASED RATES
llope t<? (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. Kellar, pastor of the
Methodist church, at the Methodist
parsonage.
