much as anybody. Good hands will be
scarce if cotton continues to be a good
price, and by another year everybody
will be able to work their own stock.

HELP IS SCARCE
A Difficulty Which Confsonts High.

way Improvements.
 Highway Commissioner James H. Macdonald stated to-day that the contractors for work on the high ways are experiencing great deal of difficulty in procuring help to car ry out their contracts. Some of the contractors say 1t is impossible to get sufficient number of men to work on the roads. The highway commissioner and his office force are doing all they can to provide men for the contractors.
 The season for work on the roads officially closes about the middle of November. If, however, the winter Is an open one the work is very often continued by contractors in order to complete the contracts within the time specified. Highway Commis- sioner Macdonald is indulgent with the contractors are due regard or the interests of the state will allow. He appreciates the difficulty of carrying out contracts when the contractors are unable to procure an adequate supply of help, and when they are obliged to do their work short hand ed He allows the contractor, who Is beset with difficulties which he can not overcome, all legal holidays and days when on account of weather conditions 1t is impossible to do out side work. But he will not allow l contractors to do work with an in- adequate force of men If 1t is pos sible to hire sufficient number. His inspectors can just as we'll oversee the work of twenty men as they can of three. In order to discourage any tendency towards indifference in the fulfillment of contracts within the time limit, Commissioner Macdonald charges the contractor who may have his work unfinished at the expiration of the contract limit $3 day for the time taken to finish 1t. This charge is for the sole purpose of paying for inspectors, the continuation of whose services are made necessary by the tardiness of the contractor in finish ing the contract. The states appro- priation for inspectors does not give l the highway commissioner very liberal allowance for inspectors and he cannot allow the sum to be cut into by circumstances which can be prevented.
 l Highway Commissioner Macdonald finds some comfort in the fact that his department is not suffering from a lack of bids for work same as the l highway department in New York state. In that state the commission CT had work on highways to the amount of $2.000,000 to be done and he found it impossible to obtain bids He was obliged, in order to induce contractors would be paid every month 90 per cent of the work done by them. In this state the commits sion pays for S5 per cent of the work done. leaving 15 per cent unpaid un- til the contract is finished and the work finally accepted by the com. mission.

LEssENs RAILROAD ACCIDENTS
Telegraphone to Be Used in Train
 Dispatching.

New York, Oct 2.-If experiments which are now being made with T new device. known as the telegra- toward the prevention of railroad ac- cidents will have been taken. The advantages which the telegrophone affords in train dispatching have at- tracted the serious attention of rail- road officials. and 1t is expected that before long the new apparatus will be in use on several of the big rail- road systems.
 It has been found that the tel egraphone makes a permanent record of all train dispatching orders sent by the telegraph ticker or over the telephone wire. The sound waves set up by the ticker act upon the dia- phragm of the transmitter attached to the telegraphone and are thence conveyed to a thin steel wire. where they are electrically stored. As soon as a record of the orders has been made upon the wire. the train dis patcher places the receiver attached to the telegraphone to his ear and immediately hears the orders just as they were given.
 Records may be repeated as often as desired. but as soon as there is no further need to keep them they may be wiped out by passing strong magnet over the wire. thus making 1t ready for use again
 Tn this way the possibility of error in train dispatching orders will be greatly reduced. There is no need to trust to the memory. as the or ders are there upon the wire and can be referred to at any time. The records can be transferred for future reference by connecting the receiver of the machine in daily use with the transmitter of a large storage tele- phone. Should any mistake occur the responsibility can immediately be To- cated by reference to the records on the storage machine. an indicator showing on just what portion of the wire any particular record hes been made. The record will give so per. feet a reproduction of the dispatch. er's voice. even after months have elapsed. that 1t can be at once recos nized-
