The purchase price of the property Is not known but it i s said that the amount paid was above the market price .of realty in that section now, t nd that the sum that changed ihande. was something over $260,000. - The Howland farm consists of 139 acres and in tie center of .the low lands ot the tract Js a lake that covers thirty acres In addition, TJIS lake is known as tie Howland lake or the Rowron lake because at one time\ the former supervisor, John W. Bowron, ised it as an ice pond. The water is excellent and it has been used as an auxiliary to the Mount Klsco water- supply at times when water from the usual source was not plentiful. Mr. Scrlbner owns the adjoining estate\ of about one hundred acres with a , large -residence situated on the nig&est point In the neighborhood, from to? of which the surrounding country can be seen for miles.

Of tnis total Mount Vernon leads with $150,009, White Plains is second with $103,000 wCiile Port Chester and Yon kers each have $100,000. That this is a popular way to save money, is attested to by the fact that in eaoh of these places people of all c'.assee have gone into the clubs and in a systematic manner saved mon»y Tor the Christmas season. That so much cash money i s at haxd In Westchester County at Christmas time, in a year wCilca has been not ably dull in the money market, seems to reflect credit on the banks whose officers had the initiative to intro duce the 3ystem in their communi ties. In White Plains the Citizens Bank conducted the fund; in Mount Ver non it was the Mount Vernon Trust Company; in Yonkers the Yonkers Na- t'oaal Bank and in Port Chester the Mutual Trust Company. The four In stitutions will begin on Decembes 28, another fund for next year, and it is believed that the increase In deposits will be 50, per cent.

In disrega-^d of the fact that it is illegal for them to do so This is about four times the number of persons killed upon all of the grade crossings in the state This number alto represents about hal' the total number of people kill ed by railroads in the State under all circumstances. \Much of this trespassing is thought- .ess and all I' 3 of an inexcusable na ture. Feople walk'upon the track and permit their children to do so, with out considering the serious risk that is being incurred Others use tie right-of-way as the nearest and mo6t convenient route to and from tha'r hemes, or objective points Among this class are many mechanics em ployed in industrial plants Some trespass upon the tracks and in the railroad yards for the purpose of stealing and do much damage to the commerce of the country. \TSeae ^trespassers, jeopardize : nnt lives \of '-thousands \of jasBengere well as railroad employes upon the trains. Persons maimed while tres passing upon railroads frequently be come a public charge and thus need lessly increase the burden of taxa tion. The loss to the community from such deaths and mutilations in the reduction of human efficiency is a grevious one, though not susceptible of exact statement in dollars. While (jti Laws of the State provide a pen alty of imprisonment in the peniten tiary or county Jail for not more than one year, or a fine of not more than $500, or both, for such trespassing, toe effective correction of trie evil can he secured only by a proper apprecia tion of the dangers involved, which we £ope to obtain through the aid of parents, school teachers, manufactur ers and employers of labor in gen eral. ;$-\Tais brief statement Is sent you with t.ie hope that we may secuie .'your co-operation by cautioning chil dren in schools and otherwise, and ;*by posting this notice in manufactur ing and industrial plants where the employees may receive a proper warn ing. 1 This notice has been sent to school superintendents, in all of the cittes and villages w/iere New York Cen tral lines operate. It is being sent to manufacturers and shippers, farmers and patrons of the railroad in general so that they and tielr employes will have an opportunity to join in the general plan against needless walking on the tracks and the right-of-way of the railroad.

An immense amount of very valu able information has heen ?iled up 'by all the stations of the country and by the United States Department of Agriculture, but all farmers can't go ro college and often Uie bulletins did not cover Individual cases The Farmers Institutes helped a little but the farms and the teachers and the Investigators all felt that all this valuable work was not accomplishing the results that it should. So the Farm Bureau with County Agents was'started'with/the purpose of putting this help and influence within the reach of t,ie man who wanted It. This work began about three years ago and already hundreds of agents have been appointed throughout the country. This state alone has over 25 in different counties.
