At the present time about twenty cases are under quarantine but some of them were discovered todav to have been in general circulation so as to expose thousands. The vaccination of all residents exposed was urged bv John A. Gilpin, health board chief. WHAT MAIL COSTS Most of us think Uncle Sam can carry a letter to its destination for two cent*?. That's all we pay directly. But. as in some other govern mentally-owned enterprises. we pay taxes to make up the deficit in operating costs. During the past three years the nost office department has run behind more than two hundred million dollars, yet many people point to it as a shinimr example of the efficiency of public ownership.

nftich to the industrial development of the South also are indicative ®f the prosperous conditions existing in that section of the country. o FRATERNITY HOUSE BURNS Bloomington, Ind., May 3. — The Delta Upsilon fraternity house at Indiana university was totally destroyed this morning by fire which is believed to have started from a gas heater. The loss is placed at $25,000. The fire, when discovered shortly after midnight by a student, was beyond control. The building was vacant at the time. Twenty-four students who room at the’house were spending the week-end at their homes. Firemen and several onlookers narrowl” escaped injury from falling walls. ■ o- , Many Women Use G’ycerine Mixture Women appreciate the quick action of simple glycerine, buckthorn bark, etc., as mixed in Adlerika.

RAILROAD MILEAGE LESS 1 J The losses suffered by the com- * munities it serves when a rail- < way is abandoned and torn up 1 are indicated by material publish- 1 ed in the Railway Age this week, 1 wnich shows that the total mile- ; age of laiiways in the country i has declined about 3,500 miles within the last eight years, and which dedls particularly with the enects that will be produced by the contemplated abandonment of the Chicago, Peoria & St. Louis a railway of 245 miles in Illinois. Statistics of the Interstate Commerce Commission show that the total miles of railway line in existence declined 3,075 miles between June 30, 1916, and December 31, 1921, and information gathered by this paper indicates that there has been since then a net decline in mileage of about 450 miles. "Detailed statistics by states for the last two years are not available, but the statistics of the Commission show that between 1916 and 1921 there were increases in only 16 states, and reductions in 31 states. The reductions of mileage in the states in which they exceed 100 miles aie as follows: Louisiana, 483 miles; Colorado, 423; Michigan, 275; Indiana, 270,; Georgia, 242; Arkansas, 235; Washington, 201; Missouri, 195; Wisconsin, 192; Pennsylvania, 187; Mississippi, 165; Nevada, 157; Ohio, 150; North Carolina, 149; Alabama, 145; Minnesota, 143; California, 134; Virginia, 131; New York, 109: lowa, 103. “In most parts of the country | where railway lines have been torn up most of the communities 'along, them have been left without any regular and dependable transportation service, and the neople have suffered losses ’as in proportion as those tha’t will be suffered by those living alono- the Chicago, Peoria and St. Louis.” H is shown that this line now nasses through 35 cities and villages. and that when J,t is torn nn. 20 of them will be left en- , tiro]y without railway service. “In nearly every instance.” says the Railway Age, “the roads [ leading from these towns tn . n ther railways are unsurfaced , diri. These are passable only nine months in the year, the mud being so deep durinv , the remaining three months that a heavy truck cannot be operat- . od. The Chicago, Peoria and St. Louis is the exclusive carrier for 49 grain elevators, 6 coal mines *»nd 21 other industries. In the last year for which traffic figures are available, its local tonnage of • bituminous coal was 140,000 tons, while the tonnage interchanged t with connecting ■ carriers was 269.031 tons. Its total grain traf- ’ sic, local and interline, was 207,000 tons, live stock, 24,438 tons . and there was a relatively large ! tonnage of lumber, petroleum, gravel, hay, cement, brick and After the abandonment of the road only a small of this tonnage could be economical- ' ly given transportation. The result would be the closing down of the industries affected. “Citizens of four towns. Palmyra, Modesto, Hettick and Chester-

field estimate that their losses " from depreciation of property will be $6,000,600. It is estimated by the Mason County Farm Bureau that the depreciation of 1 farm land in Mason County will be $30.00 per acre on 120,000 acres, or a total of $3,600,000. A company which operates six grain elevators served exclusively by the road estimates its loss at SIOO,OOO. A brick manufacturer at Dow who hris a plant valued at $60,000 claims that he will lose the entire investment. The Federal Smelting Company, which.owns a lead smelter at Federal, states that it will shut down forcing its 250 employees out of work. The Farm Bureau of Jersey County estimates the depreciation of farm lands in that county which will be a direct loss to the farmers, at over $900,000. In the town of Grafton are located the Eauitable Powder Manufacturing Company and the Illinois Powder Manufacturing Company, the latter representing an investment of $700,000. These two concerns, whose output averages over 50 carloads a week. Will be left entirely without means of railway transportation. ’These are but few of the examples cited of the losses that will be caused. "One explanation that has been offered for the decline which has occurred within the last eight years in railway mileage,” says the Railway Age. “has been the development of other transportation, and especially of motor trucks, on hard surfaced highways. The statistics for various I states given demonstrate that the decline of railwav mileage has been relatively as large, and ■wen larger, in states where there has not been extensive construction of paved highways and a large development of motor transportation as in states where there have been. HEN STILL USEFUL Electricity has become a factor in the poultry business. It is said there is one hatchery in this ountry with a capacity of a million eggs, with electricity acting the setting hen’s part. No pow- ; er plant as yet has taken over the ‘ business c-f laving the egg. So I the hen still has a little some- ‘ thing to cackle over. . n CHIC KEN THIEF A thief entered the chicken ’ yard of Mrs. Melvin Brown, of Richland Township, Whitley ' county, one night last week and ' stole 67 young chickens from a flock of 200. The chickens were • springers and just about old enough so sell and Mrs. Brown • had recently been offered a good 1 price for them.
