The conference with the brotherhoods lasted an hour and a half, adjourning just at noon. According to the represesentatives, however, the situation is unchanged.

They were asked to accept no compromise, the brotherhood chiefs said, and gave the impression as they left the White House that the President would stand firm by the proposal which they have accepted, but which the railroad presidents have refused. The brotherhood leaders, before leaving the White House placed before the President the charge that a nation-wide lobby is being conducted to influence sentiment in favor of the rail roads.

Judge Chambers then reported to President Wilson and a subcommittee of railroad executives was summoned to the White House. None of them w-ould say afterward whether President Wilson reported the men would accept the proposals, but it was said that some encourage ment was felt as a result of the nego tiations.

President Wilson is understood to feel some sympathy for the counter demands of the railroads and not averse to having the men accept them.

Custom officials and all New London believes the coming of the Willehad forecasts the early arrival of the merchant submarine Bremen from the man pori of that name. The Willehad made the trip from Boston without escort, coming through the Cape Cod canal and then out to the open sea. The liner traversed more than fifty miles through a zone in which she was subject to attack or capture, had the enemy ships sighted her. She even went, out beyond in three mile limit. It is believed the Willehad is to serve in the same capacity for the Bre men a-s the Weekar interned at Baltimore, did for the Deutschland.

The cargo will probably be transferred to the Willehad which will act as a for the submarine, housing her chew while she is in port and also protecting the submersible from many eyes.

The crop man of the Now Philadelphia chamber of Commerce is getting bald headed trying to figure it out. He says that he do it. Can you? This is his hig question: Cash wheat brings in the Toledo ninrkt $1.57 net, the best price offered to his farmer friend's in this market is $1.40. Many towns offers $1.42. Freight charges on a carload of wheat from New Philadelphia to Toledo is less than six cents a bushel.

That 11 cent differential seems to to be too hig Milling company of Dover, fixes the price in this is the answer that the local dealers give. The Cliamlier of Commerce man thinks ii would be a good idea for the far morn and their friends in this neigh horhood to get together and build a grain elevator, tlms enabling them, by a little further organization to market their wheat to the best advantage. The products ot the farm cost so much in (downright hard labor that It fool ish not to take advantage of the modern methods of doing things to get the most for that labor. It should be clearly obvious to all that infinitely more is accomplished by united efforts than otherwise. Community development and community organization does not end with eoruoraLe limits of a city or a town- hemg overshadowed in inter n'tip, but should embrace all people and cover all territory governed by a common interest.

Its membership ip- eludes many from the rural districts and surrounding communities, for they fully believe in the modern adaption of the Guardsmen Motto, for All and All for One."
