This amounts to ab. ut $10 loss
for each person, or about $45 on
tbe average for each family.
Much of thia enormous loss is
msde up of the savings of small

to invest in securities ol which
they know nothing. '.^.
"Our people sre too q-iick ami

states Directors Lloyd. "-They
get easly carried awav by the

Railroaders  Will Hoi Loss Passes
"A vote in favor of tbe fourth
amendment to the state constitution provided for on the ballots for
the approaching election, does
not mean that railroad'officers or
employes are to be 'deprived ot
psss privilege**," Assemblyman
Fred A 'Bell stated
"It simply meana tbat the voter
favors changing tbe constitution
so that railroad companies will
be allowed to extend pass
privileges to ministers ot tbe
gospel, a courtesy which wss
extended to the ministers until a
tew years ago, when it was cancelled by a changes in tbe law."
The article wbich is proposed
to change says: "No railroad,
railway, or other transportation
company shall grant tree passes,
or passes at a discount, to any
persons except officers or employes of tbe company."
The proposed amendment will
simply add the words "or clergymen" to thii article.

Tbe State Forest Department
has issued pamphlets to the public showing the necessity of being
very careful in the forests with
fire—whether a camp fire or lighted tobacco. The warring is issued in au attempt to bring about
conservation of the state torests
which have been on an appalling
decrea-e during Ihe last yeara.
This is due until.ly to tbe great
amount of wood used in v-irious
ways. Fire, however continues
to take a great toll and chiefly
through pare carelessness witb
lighted materials while in the
forest*1.
The hunting season is very
close now and it is estimated that
close to 5,000 men will bunt at
different times during the season
Witb that great number in the
woods it if easily seen what
untold dania-e might result
unless great care is taken while
bunting. Fall usually finds ths
fields and f< r*. sts very dry and eas-
I ily fired. The good sportsman will
need, no caution n otices because if
! hufi*nag ib to be enjoyed in the
tuture throughout Pennsylvania's
' mouutams the torests    must  be
(given  better protection  tban in
! psst years.
j    Be careful ef fires in the for sts
