M'ADOO RESIGNS IMPORTANT POSTS
 IN WASHINGTON Will Not Recommend Sue cessor to President-Will Rest Three Months. BEEN CAPABLE,
 VALUED OFFICIAL Has Made Enviable Record in Administration of the
 Several Offices Held.

Washington, Nov. 2S-Giving ne- cessity for replenishing his personal fortune as reason, William G. Mo Adoo has resigned as Secretary of the Treasury and Director General of Railroads. :, His resignation has been accepted by President Wilson.
 MT. McAdoo said he had no idea who his successor might be, and add ed that he would make no recom- mendations to the President.
 Regardless of the appointment to the treasury post, it is considered inn probable that there will be any great change in future fiscal policies of the government.
 As for the railroads the new direc- tor general doubtless will have much to do with the formulation of poli- cies for future management MT McAdoo recently indicated that he had planned to continue consolida tions, pooling, short hauling and oth- CT reforms looking to efficient oper- ation regardless of the fact that the war emergency is over. Opposition to this course now appears to be de- veloping and the issue of whether railroads are to remain permanently under government direction and even government ownership, or be return ed shortly to their private owners, is taking form. This issue is a princi- pal legacy which MT, McAdoo will leave to his successor. MT. McAdoC this morning found his desk piled high with personal telegrams iron friends throughout the country com menting on his resignation.
 Tonight he plans to leave for al inspection trip of southern railroads arranged more than a week ago. H' will be in Atlanta tomorrow and latel will go through Florida and to New Orleans, returning before Presiden Wilson sails for Europe.

 pointed to hear the evidence and re-
 port to the Superior court in the &C.,
 tton of Barnith Sachs against the
 Park City Construction Co.,, has filed
 his report with the court and it was
 accepted yesterday by Judge Haines
 and approved. It awards the sum of
 $8, ,694.29 to Sachs as due from the
 Construction Co.
 The action related to contracts en- tered into between Sachs and Arthur
 Bard for the construction. of a num-
 Der of houses, later the contracts and obligations of Bard being assumed byj the Park City Construction Co. They were dated Feb. 1, 1916, later modi- fled, and finally terminated by sacns in October of that years. Sachs took charge of the completion of the houses, 19 in all, and remedied some of the defects which existed. There were other defects which could nos be corrected without tearing down the walls of the buildings, Judge Banks finds.
 The contracts were somewhat in volved, providing for different prices for different units of houses and changes were made Tn plans, the total contract price amounting to $126,T5o | for the 19 houses constructed of which i $S5, 400 was paid in cash in three payments as the work was finiSs E.
 and October 13, 1916 the plaintiffs
 Sachs, had paid $104,28S in cash, and given five notes for $500 each, making
 total of $106,7SS, and had also guar | anteed bills for some of the material | and labor used. At that time the 1 defendant refused to proceed with 1 the completion of the buildings, and
 Sachs took over the construction. At
 that time 10 of the houses had been i completed, and nine remain unfinish- l ed The amount paid exceeded the l amount due under the contract at
 that date.
 Judge Banks finds that the total paid by Sachs was $118,266.78, and i that the value of the labor and ma leriaI required to complete the hous-
 es and remedy defects was S9,462.51, making the total cost of the 19 houses
 to Sachs $127,729.29, $s79.29 in ex-

London, Nov. 23-American troops, together with British and French contingents, marched with the Bel gians into Brussels yesterday when King Albert made hls entry into his capital, says the Daily Mails corres- pondent, who witnessed the entry.
 T have seen many great ceremonies at many places" the correspondent writes. Tt is easy to be superlative, but I never have seen so vast and various a crowd so carried away by tumult of fervor.
 TWO divisions of the Belgian army, occupying something like 15 miles of roads, marched in the procession ac- companied by battalions of French, American and British troops with ar tiIlery. This profession was far down the Ghent while the front was passing down the Rue Royale.
 "The day was like midsummer. Many airplanes turned silver lining to the sun as they played fantastic tricks high in the blue. Others let drop streamers on the crowd. Every wind balcony, roof and street kiosk was packed over the whole route. The people on the balconies had provided themselves with numerous. miniature flags and chrysanthemums'-t they rained down continually.
 "At one place 500 young womenS in soprano chorus, sang the Belgian song. Near their gay company stood a pathetic group of as many wounded men,"
 Brussels, Friday, Nov. 22 - King Albert entered Brussels this morning at 10:3O o'clock. He was accompan- jed by Queen Elizabeth, Princes Leo pold and Charles, and Princess Marie Jose.
 The royal party proceeded to the Place de la Nation, receiving a tre- mendous ovation along the streets Entering the Parliament House, King Albert and his family listened to ar address of welcome. Then followed g review of Allied troops which formed a line ten miles long.

This was all caused because of a
general strike of the pressmen. We

Not only was the New Era caused

caused like situation to exists.
Again. not only were the weekly
papers up against this, but quoting
from a card sent out by the Literary

perienced the same trouble. This
card from the Literary Digest reads,
in part:

fall calving. Cooperate with your
neighbors in purchase of feeds in

grain before calving. In case of
labor shortage use milking machines.
