The lines east of Pittsburg today completed their third successive year without a single train accident fatality to one of the 824,000,000 people carried to the three year period. i In five of the peat eight year, 1908,

The fact that there was ..very little business today also made it unnecessary for the trucks to run 'througt the mud and slush. "I intend to do all in ray power to "have a bill introduced into the legis-"lature'-revising the present vehicle law," sa!d Mr.. Jones. "The law wa3 not designed for heavy automobile ' trucks and tbe minimum weight should be increased as well as the compulsory 'wid ji of tire. This would 1 not only protect ;tbe road6 but it would

f.lso protect the .hack driver.

FIFTEEN APPLICANTS FOR IIOWARTirS JOB

Fifteen applications have been received by County Auditor Bowman tor appointment as township assessor to

succeed James Mowaria, wu .. Ttinmli .afternoon. Mr.

n,,.at mmA inAmV that he had KlVeh

the matter no thought and would not make the appointment until he bad thoroughly investigated, the qualifica

tions ot tne applicant. John Deeta, who waa a Progressive at the last election, and James Reid, Republican, who served as assistant township trustee under Mr. Howarta, are among the applicants for the job. These two probably make the strongest bid, although the entire matter of appointment rests with Mr. Bowman who may select whomever he please.

JAPS TO EXPAND POWER PLANTS

TO?CIO. Jan. 1. The Japanese gow srnment is considering steps for. enlarging the munition producing capacity of the county, and a proposal is being discussed by which three of the principal financial and manufacturing concerns in Japan will combine to erect an armament plant of large capacity. Until now the manufacture of arms and ammunition has been reserved for the government arsenals in Tokio and Osaka. The European War has shown that the present plant is inadequate to furnish the enormous amount of guns and shells required in modern warfare, and it is believed that the deficiency can be made good by giving encouragement to a private enterprise which in normal times would make munitions to sell to other powers and in the time of war would be available for the government. No figures are of course public as to the capacity of the arsenals at present The Alltes have placed with Japan the largest orders which she can undertake but these do not amount to anything like fifty per cent of the requirements of Russia alone. Much larger orders would have been given if Japan could have guaranteed delivery within eighteen months. These war orders are a source of great financial strength to Japan at present and they will probably turn her adverse trade balance into a favorable one. The discovery that more orders would have been received if they could have been carried out has opened the eyes of the business classes to the opportunities which war provides, and the military authorities have been alarmed by the discovery that their resources for producing guns and material of war are not sufficient for the requirements of a' war with a first class power. The matter has not been decided and is partly hung up by the fact that the plant could not be got into working order in time to supply the present belligerents, partly because the demand for machinery is as great as the demand for shells.. But there is little doubt that it will be carried through with the encouragement of the government.

' It has been estimated that 84.000,000 cubic miles of the average ingenous rock would yield, on decomposition, all the sodium of tbe ocean and the aedimentary rocks. , '

NOISE OF REVELRY GREETS NEW YEAR

Little reverence was shown the Year 1915 as It writhed in Its death bed at 11:59:59 o'clock last night. The hush which ordinarily accompanies the passing into eternity was missing. Whistles shrieked, shells clanged, shot guns and revolvers roared, ' horns , tooted and liquid cheer dispensed at an earlier hour moved many to incoherent shouts. Baby 1916 spent several restless hours on his arrival. The noise made Mm just a bit fretful, while the tintinnabulation of . pianos and the unmuf fled voices of dancers at many halls further prevented hist from enjoying his first hOurs in quiet repose. Revelry and noise unusual for tbe self-styled staid Quaker City marked the passing of 1915 and the entrance of its successor.

GENERALS OF GERMAN DESCENT HATED BY PEOPLE OF RUSSIA

. BERLIN, Jan. 1. The Russians have turned against the many generals of German descent in the army Of the Czar. All military leaders bearing German names are distrusted and hated not only by the public, but also by the soldiers. This fact Is disclosed by a secret order of the commander-in-chief Of the Russian North West Army. The order found in the possession of a captured Russian general reads: To the Commander of the Tenth Army: The chief of Staff of tbe commander in chief states that many of our people are becoming very pessimistic, because we do not gain the expectet success in our terrible combat with a strong enemy. This pessimism is hurtful to our cause, because it breeds all kinds of rumors and unjust charges. The commander-in-chief has learned that generals and other high officials who do n6t bear Russian names are accused, of treason by the public. The prosecution of all persons responsible for the spreading of these groundless rumors has been ordered, but this is not sufficient to stamp out the distrust against our commanders of German ancestry. It is necessary that the generals who have German names convince the public and the soldiers of their absolute loyalty. Suoh commanders must avoid everything that might be taken as a sign of pro-German sentiment and they should be surrounded only by real Russian officers. The commander-in-chief therefore has decided that ail adjutants and staff officers with German names who are now attached to the different headquarters shall be sent to their regiment at the front at once

BETTER BUTTER PROMISED SOON Better butter! That's what A. W. Braner, inspector for -the state- pure food and drug department will try to educate Indiana to m the next few months. Bruner starts on his new job today and will continue until be is through. He will conduct a campaign throughout . the state educating the farmer to produce better cream and make -better butter. The department waa much pleas-' ed with the egg campaign carried on last year. , Many reports were received indicating the success of the campaign. Now H. E. Barnard, chief of that department believes he can get Indiana a rating as food as that given Wisconsin, Minnesota and Ohio for turning out good butter. The campaign provides' tor the distribution of much literature on the subject throughout the state. Bruner will visit every milk distributing station in the state. He will visit the dairies, preside at meetings ot farmers and later provide a standard by which , the butter will be graded. t-

How to Prevent Croup. Every effort should be made to prevent the attacks by giving the child a light supper and plenty of fresh air at all times. The child should be warmly clad when out of doors. Especially the feet should be well protected and under no circumstances should the child be allowed to remain with wet or cold feet. Then watch for the . first symptom, hoarseness, and give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy at once and the . attack may be ward

An English servant thoroughly skilled in all household work said to her mistress, "Hits my idea Mum, that borax puts tbe 'ope in soap! And

there' is no 'ope for soap without!

borax." - It is true that borax is to soap what electricity is to street cars. It makes it go farther and do more work. Is very much cheaper, too! 25c worth of "20 Mule Team Borax Soap Chips" will do more washing of clothes and general household cleaning than 50c worth of good bar soap or soap powder.
