NOW II IS HUNTER
WHO WAS ELECTED

One of the most interesting races in
the county last Thursday was that
for member of the board Of education
in the Third and Fourth districts. So
close was the result that the winner
was not established until today. Fri
day morning Hunter was reported the
winner without the vote from Cald-
wells store. Then that voie was re-
ceiyed and it was announced that
Hardison was the winner by major
ity. But an error in the report of
Hunters vote at Neapolis. giving it as
when it should have been IA, makes
him the winner by majority.

ITALY is FAvoRiTE

LONDON, Aug. Everyone in
London is doing honor to Italy.
In restaurants the principal dish on
the carte du jour in maca-oni. and
people who never have attempted that
delicacy before are now entangling
their mouths in coils of it, under the
impression that they are paying a
compliment to Italy.
The lunchers beam on the Italian
walters and the Italian walters beam
back on their customers.
The effect of Italy's great showing
in the war is evident everywhere.
Even the Italian organ-grinders are
having coins showered on them in I'M
precedented fashion.
At present it looks as If the Italian
cult has come to stay.

SHOPS AND THINGS

| SO they have instituted vocational
system in their organization. Every
girl is listed, watched, consulted as
to her job lest there be dissatsfac
ticn and given every opportunity to
find the work she likes best. Once
placed satisfactorily, it has been found
that interest in the occupation will
keep girls where nothing else will hold
them.
AT Macys and at the Charles Will
lam Stores Of Brooklyn, there has
been found an efficacious method to
hold the errant cmploye. Both firms
are giving bonuses for regular attend
ance at work during the rush months
from October to Christmas. At Macy's
the bonus is extended only to the
delivery department. Elsewhere well
Garc organizations keep the bond Of
goodwill between the working force
and the management. One girl has
+ worked up w. S. s. business which
is keeping her on the job. She has
! sold 100000 worth to date.
But the delivery clerks are now
tempted With . bonus of 81 for every
week, providing they stay with Macy's
from October to Christmas.
At the Charles William Stores they
have gone a bit beyond the idea Of
sharing with labor the profits of CO.
operative effort. The bonus system is
intended to put upon the employc a
share of the responsibility Of stabiliz-
ing production. They are asked to
stick to the job, and if they do so
during the fall rush they will receive
sum equal to 10 per cent of their
salaries.
'"The fixed bonus has an appeal"
says Mr.. Eiswa!d, president Of the
stores. at is more alluring than q
regular raise in salary because it Is
harder to attain. And it is popular,
for since we announced our bonus sys-
tenn we are actually hiring more labor
than we did before"

bushcl and we're being asked much
higher prices ana told that next sprins
potatoes would be again at $3.50 or
higher.
There are untold bushels Of potatoes
in storage. When spring comes--and
spring Is not so far away that people

those potatoes will come on the mar
ket in a flood. That the prices will
Immediately drop is predicted: also
that thousands of bushels will rot in
local communities because grocers are
likely to supply themselves from the
outside when the food comes and the
weather permits safe shipment.
For potatoes to rot would be shame
full and unpatriotic waste in this time.
The governments advice Is good
when it suggests to the small storers
that they begin at once to market their
supplies. AS matters stand now they
can get a fair price for them and pro /.

better to dispose Of them now then to
peddle them here and there later and
perhaps throw many dollars worth out

WAR LESSONS FROM HISTORY.

A recent cartoon represents Lincoln
surrounded with critics in the early
part of the civil war and by contrast
draws a parallel between present crit
icism Of delays and the reasonable
criticism of the present war secretary
The advice IS to read the lesson OF his
tory.
The advice IS good. For history is
repeating itself not merely In the crit
ic!sm objected to but in the lack 0!
organization and delays. There are two
sides TO the shield. The vastly i'm
portant side IS not that criticism
should be made but that conditions
have aroused It and that a continual
ION OF those conditions would be dis
astrous. That IS the lesson Of history
that Is Of pressing and present i'm
portance.
referring to Lincoln and the begin
ming Of the civil war the lesson is worth
studying. Simon Cameron was Lin
coins carly was secretary and Edwin
u. Stanton, a democrat, was the sharp
est critic Of the conditions and OF the
manner in which the administration
was conducting war matters. Lincoln
in the greatness Of his soul and his
anxiety to avail himself Of the mos,
useful uniOnists saw the justice anC
