ROAD WORK IN CARROLL COUNTY
Chairman Weller Orders Contractors
to Increase Their Forces.

Chairman Weller OF the State
Roads Commission issued orders to
the contractors now at work in Car
roll county to increase their forces so
that their contracts may be COM
pleted by fall These instructions
followed a trip over the roads OF Car
roll county made by Mr.. Weller, Chief
Engineer Shirley and z. Fl. Zouck,
MIR. Weller's assistant.
Speaking OF the trip, Mr. Weller
said:
Eve found the completed road from
Sykesville to Eldersburg in splendid
condition. Til was oiled last year and
we propose to have 1t oiled again this
year. The oiling it has already re-
ceived undoubtedly saved it from ser
we're damage which might have been
expected to follow the storm of Sun
day afternoon, and demonstrates the
wisdom of that method of treating
improved highways
From Eldersburg We passed over
the road running north to Gambler,
which is being built by former State
Senator Johnnie T.. BeaSman. Half
or this section has been about com
pleted and Is in fair condition,
though some more work will have to
be done on it before it will be taken
over BY the State On the northern
half Of the section the work Il not
progressing satisfactorily, and we
have instructed the contractor to in
crease the size of his force 20 that
the work may b. finished by fall
Between Gambler and the Fenby
pike, a distance of five miles, work is
being done by FTech a. Allen. The
northern end OF their contract for .
distance Of about two miles has very
nearly been completed, and grading
is being done on the lower end. Here,
a. i'm other sections of the State, the
contractors are having great difficulty
in securing labor.
"The Fenby pike north to West
minister il being taken care OF by our
maintenance department and j. in
good condition From Westminster
we went to Taneytown, Il miles, and
were met along the route by several
delegations who were interested in
the Improvement of that highway.
This route was laid out by the old
commission. Two and half miles OF
this road is known a. the Meadow
Branch turnpike, and we believe the
people Of that section will buy the
pike and turn it over to the commits
sion free of charge, in consideration
OF which We will do certain work at
other points along the TaneytoWn
road
From Westminster we also went to
Manchester, but We will not be pre-
pared to say what we will do in that
section for a while. We want first to
hear from the Meadow Branch pike
proposition"

mony performed here. For the pres
ent the young couple are boarding

SMASHING AN EGG TRUST.

Chicago women have followed the
example OF Philadelphia. and taken
up the fight for cheaper eggs. one
million cold storage eggs were sold
on Friday and Saturday OF last week
At the fat price OF 24c per dozen. Club
women Of Chicago furnished the
money. superintendent the sale and
distributed the eggs from thirty differ
ent stations. What IS more. they sold
the eggs az a profit. nearly $1,000 be
ing realized for the work OF the Chi
cago Clean Food Club.
Ten DAYS aEo eggs were selling In
Chicago at forty-fve cents per dozen
According 10 tho state Food Commis-
sioner OF Illinois. the price was abso-
lutely unIustified. as first class stor-
age eggs were being sold hy the
wholesalers as low a. twenty cents
per dozen. The retailers combination
maintained the price Of forty-nve
cents In spite OF repeated reductions
IN the wholesale price Thereupon.
inc women OF chicago rose In their
wrath and proceeded to demolish the
combination OF retailers. with the re-
sult that egg prices took a drop all
over the city. and will probably con
tinuc lower
The examples OF the Philadelphia
and Chicago women show that tho
long suffering American consumer
has a cure for evils when he Is de-
tcrmlucd TO apply &. In both cities
the prices Of eggs appear to have
been advanced nbnormally by comhi-
nations OF retailers. Ia both cities the
women found mo- difficulty I'm buying
eggs in enormous quantities. and OF
distributing them a. low prices.

AN ARGUMENT FOR GOVERNMENT

Reading has advanced It's dividend

already been reused into autaEOulsm.

Ing could be better calcuiatI to hasten
oo.ernm"nt control or oWnership OF the
coal mines. Socialists viii hail such
action with Joy. As between an avari-
cious monopoly and Govern meut owner
ship theer will be only one choice In the
mind OF the average voter.
The above. from the ordinarily
staid and conservative New York Jour
nal OF Commerce. indicates the views
OF an outraged public as TO the exces-
sive and exorbitant demands OF mo-
nopoly. The Reading Company 10

production. they control the transpor-
tation. and they control the supply

the larger cities OF the Atlantic coast
and New England With the price OF
coal high and still advancing. with
thousands of people suffering from ex-
orbitant charges. with mine employees
on tina, other hand bitterly complain
ing of tcanty wages and dimcult mine
conditions. the Reading Company
fiaunts its prosperity in the eyes Of
The American people by an arbitrary
advance in dividends.
Not many years ago the stock Of
the Reading Company was kicked
about the New York market ~ from
twenty-five to thirty cents on the dol
lar. To-day this great corporation
represents an enormously increased
capital. with earnings thercUpon run
ming into the tens Of millions. Most
OF this prosperity has come from the
entirely arbitrary increase I'm coal
