THAT WONDERFUL CLOC K j Vienna claims one of the seven j modern wonders of the world. $ remarkable historical and musical clock, which struck the hour for the first time recently. , | The new clock, which has been set up in the Hohe Market, haS been sixteen years in the making, according to Warner S. Haysj, secretary of the Clock Manufactiurers’ Association of America. "Artists, goldsmiths, and sculpitors began work on the clock in 1911." said Mr. Hays. "It is a perfect example of the clockmaker’s art, although it operates with no greater precision than the clocks with which the fa shionable housewife equips each of the rooms of her home. Twelve historical figures appear on the first stroke of the hour, and each parades for sixty its appearance being accompa* nied o>y music. “In the parade of figures, the Vienese wonder clock resembles the famous ‘Clock of Prague’ and its procession of images of Christ and the Disciples." o— r State highway departments last year surfaced a total of mote than 13,600 miles of earth roads In addition, they rebuilt 5,828 m'les of old surfaces. 163,059 miles of the 287.9*28 miles of Federal aid State roads are now surfaced.

CHERTNUTS j A novelist declares that awo ’man is the light of the home ; Maybe so; she certainly does go lout a lot. ** i When a man is unable to choost (between two evils, he usually takes up a third. Always believes less than you are told —except in the case of a woman telling her age. In the old days a pair of rosy lips were an invitation. Now they look more like a danger signal. o — TOWARD HARDSf'RA'BLE “Where did the car hit this man?” asked the defendant’s attorney of the attending physician at a damage suit. “At the junction of the dorsal and cervical vertebrae.” the doctor answered. “Just a moment, please.” a juryman spoke up. rising from his seat. “I’ve lived in this country nigh onto fifty years an’ know every crossroad for miles around, but I never heard of such a place as that. I believe it’s a made-up case.” By far the greater share of revenue from national forests comes from timber sales. The income from grazing permits for cattle and horses ranks next to that from timber sales.

RAILROAD SURPREMACY There are approximately 250,000 miles of single main track railway in the United States which with second, third and fourth main tracks, terminal, switching, siding and passing tracks, give the country a total railway mileage of 406,000. The railroads own 70,000 locomotives. 58,000 passenger and 2,500,000 freight cars. Our railroads have nearly half of all railway tracks of the world, handle every year more than half of freight and almost half of passenger traffic of the wrorld. Our railroads are owned by about 1,500 and operated by about 1.000 separate and independent" railway companies. Os these about 190 are known as Class 1 railroads (having annual gross operating revenues of sl,000,000 or more) and represent a single track mileage of about 236.000 miles. The fooregoing facts give a little idea of |he importance of our railroads to the country as a whole and to each individual community. They should be allowed rates sufficient to keep their tracks and rolling equipment in condition to efficiently handle the ever-growing commerce of our country. CHANGING CALENDAR YEAR The Gregorian calendar now in use has certain obvious defects. The months vary in days from 28 to 31 and there are differences in the quarters and the half years. Then, the calendar shifts every year. Business is to some extent inconvenienced by the arrangement. This is in evidence when it comes to computing interest and some few other things Many leading business men favor the adoption of the Cotsworth nlan. one that contemplates the division of the year into thirteen months each of 28 days. The movement for a change in the present order has reached such a point abroad it is believed this country should express itself. With the idea of stimulating interest in the matter Mr. George Eastman of Rochester, N. Y.. has sent out qucstionaires to business men of the country and expects in this way to develop a national opinion on the subject B.&.O. REPORT The operating revenues of the B. & O. railroad for the month of July were 820.321,744 and the operating expenses $15,398,923, leaying a balance of operating revenues of $4,922,821. o At "least $20,000,000 worth of farm property is destroyed by lightning in this country every year. That’s the estimate of the farm fire protection committee of the National Fire Protection Association. The committee points out that lightning rods, good, bad, and indifferent, cut losses 85 per cent, as compared with unrodded buildings. The Department of Commerce reports that our exports for the year ending July 1, 1927, exceeded our imports by 733 millions of dollars. This is heralded as the key of our national prosperity. Meanwhile, however, we have “exported" nearly twice the difference in cash. o > Cotton seed oil was first used in China, according to records of that country, which show that in the 17th century cottonseed were sometimes ground and fed to oxen and that an oil suitable for illumination was obtained from the seed. Not until 1855 was it suggested that cottonseed oil was an edible oil. o According to recent discoveries scholars of India knew chemistry two thousand years before the Christian era. —o “The Black Diamond Express.” with Monte Blue at the throttle at Crystal, Ligonier, Friday and Saturday, September 2 and 3.
