Few know better than Vincent Ia
Dor the utter absurdity Of trying to
please the women Of today. From EVIL
dence presented in the Court Of Do
nestle Relations, writes New York
correspondent, it appears that he has
at no time tried it, but the demands
made by his wife have convinced him
that there would be no hope anyway.
The matter in consideration was a
means to keep Mr.. Tabor at work, a
means to force him to provide s. a
week for his wife's support and a
means to terminate his desperate
struggle to drink harried world dry.
Jaw, Judge, nothin' can be done," ad-
mitted the somewhat fearful defend
ant, "as long as yuh can't make money
enough to satisfy all the highfalutin'
ideas Of the women. Two months ago

COMPANY STORE is UPHELD.
Meaning Of Decision Of Pennsylvania
Supreme court-other Labor
News Of Interest.

The Pennsylvania superior court
handed down the following decision.
In Dagostino versus Rogers ct al, from
Fayette county, the defendants con-
duct store in connection with their
Elm Grove coke works and the plaintiff,
who keeps store nearby, alleged the
defendants fnterfered with his busi-
ness by requiring employees to deal
at their store. They were threatened
with discharge if they bought from
Dagostino. A finding for $3.50 in favor
of the plaintiff was had below, but
Judge Henderson held there was no
testimony supporting avermeat that the
defendants maliciously intended to in
jure the plaintiff or drive him out.
They simply desired the patronage OF
their employees at their own store
There was no legal prohibition forbid
ding defendants from making condf-
ton of employment that their em-
ployees should patronize the store pro-
vided by them. The record did not
disclose any evidence of malice and no
question of negligence arose. The case
was based on the superintendent eff
forts to induce employees to trade at
the company store, but the court finds
that plaintiff failed to establish case
which would support judgment.

WdrDepartment COOrdinated in
 Another Degree
By Review Leased wire)

WASHINGTON, Jan. k Reorgani- zation of the war department. begun with the creation last month of the war council of high general officers, advanced a step further today with the appointment by Secretary Baker of Major General George W. GOethals, acting quartermaster general, to serve also as director of war department transportation and storage. Wide economies in the use of cars and in shipping charges are expected from this centralization in one agency of functions heretofore exercised by five departmental bureaus independently.
 General GOethals as acting quarter master general, directs the supply. sustenance and pay departments of the army. supplemented by the embar- kation and other srevices already eS- tablished in his office. each with a general officer in charge. Under Jo- days order he will in addition super wise transportation of all ordnance. en gineerS. signal corps aviation service. and coast artillery material as well as Quartermaster supplies and troops.
 All bureaus heretofore indepedent in this regard have been directed to coordinate their demands upon the railroads and upon storage facilities through the director of railroads. the shipping board or any other central ized agency for transportation or stor- age. presenting complete schedules of cars and tonnage needed and working out routing and storage so sS to get the most efficient use of the nations facilities.
 What Announcement Means
 Behind the announcement stands the probability that army purchasing also will be drawn together under a central control Steps to this end are under consideration. but legislation may be required to carry it out. The question of finding man for the jOo however. already has been taken up. Some officers think the duty should be placed under the general stan. but others believe a separate office should be created. to be filled by a civilian of national reputation for business ability. It is particularly certain. however. that should a civilian he ap- pointed. he would be commissioned as a general officer. subject 10 army law.
 Secretary Baker said today he had not heard that war department shin ments were tying up thousands Of freight cars. adding to the congestion of railroads and terminals. and tha- under Director McAdoo's recent order the department faced demurrage charges of S1O day car. He added. however. that the department should take pot luck with the whole couE- try" on the demurrage question and be compelled to unload at once any cars it was using for storage purposes.

In ROAD ASSOCIATION
Pottawatomie Highway Boosters Or

Some good roads meetings have
been held in Pottawatomie county. A
meeting was held at St. Marys Mon
day night; another meeting all day
Tuesday was held at WeStmoreland,
and Wamego had meeting Tuesday
night. The Westmoreland session was
held in the courtroom, which was
packed for both afternoon and even
ing. A Pottawatomie County Good
Roads association was formed, with E.
S. Francis, of Westmoreland, as pres
ident, and Will Dalton, of st. George,

ISOLATION. 1t was decided to build
sixty miles of good roads in the coun
ty, at once, making them of gravel,
concrete or brick. A committee was
appointed to prepare and circulate pc
titions for the hard roads.
1t was found that the tax on each
farm would be very small in meeting
the cost of the good roads. One of the
objects of the hard roads is that truck
transportation lines may be estab-
lished for the hauling of produce to
market. J. Frank Smith of Topeka,

LABOR FOR KAN.
Bureaus ThruOut State To Meet
Harvest Demand.
Guard Against I. w. w. Incur
sion or Like Move.

Kansas City, Mo-, March 14.--Act-
ing upon instructions from Washing
ton, w. w. Brown, United States
director of labor here, will start at
once establishing branch bureaus in
towns thruout Kansas. These bureaus
will be part of the system to be used
in harvest time to provide the neces-
sary labor to bring in the crops. Such
bureaus already have been opened in
Topeka and Wichita.
Altho many letters telling of thou
sands in the east volunteering to work
in the harvest fields, these will not be
called upon until the western supply
has been exhausted. Mr.. Brown be-
lieves that with all the volunteers from
the east it will not be necessary to call
upon women or young boys for help.
Urges Local Cooperation
Mr.. Brown says every safeguard
should be thrown around the worker,
and to this end has asked the CO.
operation of the local council of safety.
He has asked that the employment
office be notified of any careless work
ers or other undesirables, and the
office will keep a complete record in
order to avoid sending dangerous men
where they might do harm.
The office here and the bureaus will
be kept especially busy this year as
they will, also, be used to recruit rail-
road laborers, the railways, under the
direction of Director McAdoo, having
transferred this branch of their en-
ployment bureaus over to the federal
bureaus. This increased work has
prompted Mr.. Brown to ask for the
appointment of six assistants for the
office here, and efforts are being
building to be devoted solely to the use
of the bureau.
