room, into several hundred more feet of

The company expects the operation TO be
completed this fall. when the usual large
stock of fall and winter merchandise will
be received. The contractor is Char.e
Foulk. who has also prepared the plans
for the improvements. As the result of the
alterations all departments COW requiring
more room will be accommodated and new
facilities added for both employees ane
shoppers.
The improvement is the first Of many
that will be made by the company this
fall and winter, all affordlng facilities foi
handling a larger stock and for accom-
modating the growing patronage Eventu
ally. it is expected. the third floor, nov
used for stock, will be converted int,

GOVERNMENT
SEES PROSPERITY
Has Difficulty Finding Men
And Women to Fill Wait
ing Places

WASHINGTON. Aug. 14-Reports
made at the Department of Commerce
and Labor show that labor is much
In demand on the farm as we'll as IN
factories. The the Departments di-
vision OF information Jobs have been
obtained for 5000 persons in the last
six weeks. Most of them have gone
to the wheat fields OF the Northwest.
while requisitions have been made on
the Department for unsiulled labor to
be employed in other lines of indus
try.
The Government is in a position to
assist unemployed unslNilled labor, and
all il wants TO know is the places to
which labor shall be diverted. The
Government was induced to interest
itself several weeks ago i'm the ques~
tion of supplying farm hands to the
Northwest by Representative Stevens
OF st. Paul. Since then agents at the
Department have been busy, with the
result that at least 5000 aliens have
secured places throughout the country,
and the Indications are that many
more viii be provided with jobs before
fall.
Under a ruling OF Assistant Secre-
tary MacHarg the division of informa-
tion is confined in its operations to UNI
skilled labor. the labor organizations
having protested against any activity
on the part Of the Government looking
TO the employment Of skilled labor.

Railroads and Their Critics.


Railroads and railroad men are bet
ter than their critics apd have always
been so," asserts President +. d.
Underwood of the Erie road 1t de-
pends entirely what Mr.. Underwood
means by railroad critic whether his
statement can, be accepted.
No reasonable man ever believed the
railroads and railroad men were all
bad or even incurably incorrigiblc.
No better proof of the justness Of
many past complaints against the
railroad can be offered than the presA
ent attitude of most OF the great rail-
road men in the country. They would
not return to the old conditions of in
discriminate rebating and ratecutting
If they could. neither would they favor
a general resumption Of many other
practices which robbed railroads %
their revenue and built up one indi-
vidual or business at the expense of
another. The master railroad minds
Of America are to-day agreed that
regulation by properly constituted
public bodies is the only salvation of
the railroads and that they need pro-
lection from each other and protec-
ton from unreasonable demands of the
people fully as much as the people
need protection from the railroads.

TRUCK FROM WILMINGTON
When New Trolley Line is Finished
This Will be a Feature.

The West Chester Local News says;
A freight car direct between West
Chester and Wilmington will carry
much produce when the new trolley
line is completed. At present the truck
imported 10 West Chester from that
section Of the world comes by Lenape
or Philadelphia. and must be reloaded
at the junction. thus causing extra
trouble and cost in handing.
A man vino visited wharves in Will
mington saw fine sweet potatoes IT
soc per basket. cantaloupes at 50 70
40c., and tomatoes at s5 TO 40c. a
basket. Peaches were Sf25 a basket.
When truck is shipped TO West Ches-
ter by express the cost is 40c per hum
dred pounds, and this adds to the price
of the articles bought. as a basket Of
potatoes win weigh fifty pounds OF
thereabouts.
Wilmington markets are not so low,
however. except on the wharf. The re-
tailers viii take a basket of peaches
and divide It into smaller baskets
which they sell for thirty-five cents
each. and make a pretty profit.
