sesvce which the government wishes
Let's have less campaigning at this time We have more
serious business consider than the election OF lew
local officials There will be trouble N finding good
men to hll the county offices when the time comes to
make a choice
And when election day rolls around it will be found
that the people have decided to choose men for public Of
flee regarde" OF their past party activity but tor bigger
and better reasons The Of today who serve the ma
ton best in the crisis will be the who will be placed
in positions of authority. The OF today who goes out
Of his way to give aid and comfort to our military forces
and who contributes all the worthy patriotic causes viii
be the whom the people will turn when they have

stand aside They will ask the patriot stand and as
sumo honor and authority Any candidate who fails to
realize the temper Of the public in this great national tria

Readings May Business
Expenses Clean Up Profits

Readings statement of earnings
for May, which came out nearly a
week later than usual, are of inter-
est. The railway Company handled
a larger business than it did the
corresponding month of last year,
but operating expenses moro than
wiped out the gain, and there was
also such an increase in rent, in
terest and taxes that the surplus of
$S32,500 was $19S,24S less than that
of one year ago. The Reading Com
pany. the holding company, made a
profit of $572,072 a gain of $5,0S5,
but an increase in interest and taxes
of $35.333 turned this gain into q
decrease of $30,247 in the surplus.
The Coal and Iron Company, how
ever, makes such a good return that
the losses incurred by the other two
companies was converted into gain
for the month amounting to S343,-
593. In May of last year the Read
ing Coal and Iron Company made q
deficit of over $4,000, due to labor
troubles, while this year there is a
surplus of S546,631. For five months
the surplus of the combined COM
panies is 81, ,641, ,529 below the sur
plus for the first five months of last
year.
The May statement shows that the
corner is turned and that the ball
ance of this year will probably be
favorable to the Reading.
