Erery School Holiday
Costs Jersey $780, 600

TRENTON. N. j., Nov. 28-Every
school holiday wastes $4,000 Of
state money, says Commissioner Ken
dali, Of the Department Of Education,
in his annual report submitted to-
day to the Board of Education. It
costs that much daily to run the
schools, he says, and he favors a re-
duction in the number of holidays.
Mr.. Kendall particularly refers to
Election Day, saying he would have
the schools in session on that day,
wherever school buildings are not re-
quired for polling booths and the
business of counting ballots. In
buildings large enough to afford
space for the election boards and
still have room for classes ne would
have the schools remain in session

Language Merely Crunts
Efforts to Reduce Bacongo
Speech to Writing Fail

An Italian missionary to Central
Africa has found tribe which uses .
language that cannot be written or re-.
corded. The Bacongo tribe has hand
ed down all it's history from generation
TO generation by words of mouth, as
the language is composed of queer
sounds which, to ? European ear, seem
to be variation of grunts and gutteral
noises
No one has yet discovered a means
of Interpreting these sounds into let
ters or signs. The code of morals and
government are expressed in proverbs.
The motto of the tribe is: "Wherevef
man has passed misery follows."-

wages But as a whole general con- ditions are good. Much better in some industries than in others. The leather industry with all it's branches has prospered. The prices have ad- Vanced and makers are unable to fill orders properly. In the cotton in dustry the prices are going out of sight. The mills are all busy, and with very high prices. The steel in duStry, as you know, is sitting tight Holding their prices up, but not doing a great deal of business. I think, however, that things are a great deal better now than they were a month or two ago. I do not ina zine that we are going 10 have a big buying movement in hardware at present. There is going to be a big consump- ton of our goods, however. We are working under peculiar conditions. We are on a pinnacle and we must naturally come down instead of go up. Prices may be advanced. It is wholly possible. Within five or ten years we must come down to lower prices.
 "A great portion of the world is now idle. The world has been doing something else for several years. To. day, Europe is not producing enough to support herself. That means that they are going to buy not particularly hardware, but som ething else. Coun- tries will soon begin to buy and to pay for the goods. The United States must furnish most of the goods. We will have some competition, but the United States will do by far the great CT part. l do not look for lower prices. Probably a scarcity of goods instead of an overplus. The question of labor is still present. Your policy should be to sell. l am not in favor of selling ahead. The attitude of the salesman wants to be close to his customers, and to keep them in touch with the situation, and to buy as intelligently as possible. At the same time, 1 think our sales department feel pretty sure they do not want a lot of speculation. Try to discourage speculation on the Stanley Works. We are doing in the hardware business one-third to 50 per cent more busi- ness. And this plant either lies idle or you men have got to get business to keep it going. We do not want promises for the future, but orders for the present. Sell at present prices. Urge customers to put in fall orders. I do not think it is any risk in doing SO."

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

E. Allen Moore Tells Statesmen
 Conditions Are Good

That the outlook for business is excellent, is indicated in the follow ing statement made by E. Allen Moore of the Stanley Works in the dourse of his remarks addressed to the salesmen's convention:
 General conditions, as a whole, at the present time are good. Things change so quickly that it is some what embarrassing to speak to a con ference that gathers only a year hence. 1914 was prosperous year, ahd a tight year. At the end of the War, great corporations reduced wages and let men go. Everybody expected recessions in every industry. There was a scarcity of money and materials Labor demanded high

Rock Island Office New Division
Point for New District With
Changes in Personnel.

Encouragement of revenue dis

it a division point instead of sub
division as heretofore There have
also been some changes in per-
sonnet.
Notification was received today
at the Office, showing the plan OF
organization henceforth TO be OBJ
served. On Sept. l. the local rev.
enue Office will take charge of a
district composed of six counties,

Henry, Whiteside. and Lee. Four
of these, excepting Rock Island
and Mercer, are new to the district.
They take the places in this divis-
ion of Henderson, Warner, Knox
and Stark counties.
More men will not be put in
charge. In the entire district there
will be nine civil service employees
stationed as follows: In the Rock
Island headquarters, w. T. Ryan,

last night and this morning re-

then will remain at Chicago as as

Owing to the tremendous in
crease in the volume of business
handled through the Offices of rev.
enue collectors, owing to the num-
erous newly created taxes on all
kinds Of commodities, it was found
necessary to greatly increase the
workers in this field The local
manifestation of this movement
was made by these changes. 1t is
expected that this is a final ar
rangement, and men of the local
corps express satisfaction that they
will not be able to go ahead with
feelings of stability, since no fur
