Chicago. Feb. 3-wheat prices
plunged widely downward at the start

because Of apparent chances that the
Dardanelles might be unexpectedly
thrown open for Russian shipments to
western Europe. Before the lack of con-
firmation in either case could be as
certained the market dropped So cents
for May and 4 cents for July. Big
margin calls had reduced the volume of
trading. Consequently excitement was
not so intense as on less provocation at
other times and the market rallied III

May to Sf66 a new high record and

PROTECT THE FLY CROP

A majority of the Town Board are
opposed to interfering with the fly crop
by passing any ordinance requiring ma
nure and other filth to be kept covered
so as to prevent the flies breeding
therein.
The ordinance offered for that purpose
has been referred to hostile committee
and there the matter will pro ably rest
till Christmas
The reasons one hears are various.
One leading citizen doesn't believe these
Government experts on fly breeding
know what they're talking about.
People were as healthy when they had
plenty of flies as they are now Manure
got nothing to do with the matter any
how says another; cost something to
cover the manure, etc.
Until an intelligent public sentiment
in Middletown compels the Town Board
to do what an enlightened public senti-
meut is elsewhere doing, the house
keepers will have to endure the annoy
ance and loss the filthy fly causes; the
babies of the town will have to take the
greater risks of the fy-borne diseases
that slay them in Summer; and adults
put up with the disgusts and perils oi
the Typhoid" fly, as famous doctor
has renamed the pest.

HELDMYER'S FINE GROCERY

Mr.. Joseph r. Heldmyer has made
some improvements in his grocery store
that will greatly add to its attractive
ness as well as 20 it's usefulness end

To begin with, he has had the inside
of his store neatly repainted in imma-
culate white, which adds clean look
to the clean goods and clean methods
something which every customer will
welcome, for everybody likes to see
neatness and cleanliness as well as to
feel and taste them!
He has introduced a convenient as
well as novel feature in his store, in
installing large counter-retrlgerator
with thick glass top which makes 1t
possible to display to the customers the
various meats within, and at the same
time to keep them cooled down to usual
refrig orator temperatures by means of
a huge ice cake placed in the center of
the case with the meats surrounding it.
This counter-refrgerator together
with his other half dozen glass counter
cases, will keep all his otherwise eX-
posed foods, candies etc, free from
flies and dirt-all Of which is in line
with the up-to-date requirements of the
grocerman's S trade which in this more
'enlightened day is demanding the
greater safeguarding of foods from
contaminations of ali sorts.

Improving The Town Hall

The pentroof which the Messrs. Brad
ley & Son are placing on the Town Hall
front, is fine piece of high grade car
penter work, and does great credit to
Nr. Lee Bradley who did that part of
the work. Everyone who knows aught
about woodworking will appreciate the
true lines visible throughout the job,
the difficult mitre joints being especi-
ally accurate and snug. Messrs. Green
and son did the foundation work for
the bulk windows and Messrs. = Eedgrave
Bros. doing the trimming.
The alterations when quite complete,
when the big glass windows are also
placed, will result in great improve

STORES CLOSING AT 6 P. M.
Very truly yours,
Physical Director.

The movement on foot to close all
Middletown stores at P. NJ, save on
Saturdays, not only during the Summer
months, but during the whole year. is
meeting with general favor and will
doubtless be successful.
There are no strong reasons against
it. but there are many weighty ones
for it. Justice to these shut in toilers
who, if men, are required to work II,
or even more hours daily would seem to
demand that they, too, should share in
the movement that is everywhere limit
ing the work hours of mechanics to en-
and eight. Clerks as we'll as other toilers
need time for rest, amusement. self
culture and social and family intercourse
and their present long hours leave toe
little leisure for all these things.
Again, it is said that no real need re.
0uires that town stores should be kept
open after six in the evening.
1t is said that about all the trading
then done is by town residents who
cOulu arrange " GOtiS NSAOAS - W
if they only wished.
Finally, it will be found in this mat
ter Just as it was in the shortened hours
of mechanics, that the employees will
do more and better work in the shorte
hours than they didin the longer period
Thus the movement is in truth on
that serves the best Interests of tn,
merchants themselves not less thai
those of their employees, and the lead
ing merchants here are sagaciou
enough to recognize that fact.
Smyrna is also agitating the same re
form and it will likely be adopted ther
as well as in Middletown.
The Transcript heartily endorses tn
movement and wishes it success.\
