Langdon Business
Changes Owners
Shadwinkers Bakery is Sold
Grafton Man Who Has
Possession Now

E. Schadwinkel, proprietor of the
Langdon City Bakery closed a deal
yesterday forenoon with James Maher
of Grafton, in which the latter buys
the business from Mr.. Shadwinkel,
taking immediate possession of the
same. In the years since he first
came here to open bakery there has
been a steady increase in the volume
of business done by Mr., Shadwinkel,
earned by his ability to give the public
service equal to that Of any of the
big cities east. In fact the main rea-
son for selling out is owingSto the work
and attention the business now re-
quires has become too severe strain
on his health and strength. After a
wind-up of his affair and the sale of
personal property the Shadwinkels go
east to their former home in Chicago
for an extended stay before deciding
on another location.
Mr.. Jas. Maher, the successor to
the Shadwinkel bakery, comes here
from Grafton young man with seve-
raj years of experience 10 the bust
ness and will have associated with
him in caring for the. business his
brother who is also a baker. His
mother and a sister will also come to
make Langdon their home. The
Maher family have been identified
with Grafton and it's business in
terest and social affairs since the
town first appeared on the map.

, lIW YORK, May

v lIlV YORK, May From $4,000 to
N $4,000 people register in New York
hotels every day. New York's float
ing population is so large that it has OF
necessity more hotels than any other city in
the world, and it has the largest hotels in
the world. In London or Paris hotel with
800 bedrooms is accounted large New York;
largest has 1900 rooms, and dozen or so
others have 1000 rooms or more.
Exactly how many hotels New York pos
sesses nobody knows. The battling question
is at what point lodging house becomes
hotel, for hundreds of small roomlng
houses call themselves hotels on the strength
of a desk, and boxes in which dodgers keys
and mail are kept. These small establish
ments are hard to count, because they are so
ephemeral. OF the real hotels there are at
least 500 And of these, lao first-class hotels
are registered with the New York Hotel as
ISOLATION
Each of these big hotels is city in itself
The largest have their own ice cream fac
tories, laundries, half a dozen dining rooms
skating Kinks, complicated machinery for
doing almost every kitchen job, libraries,
hospitals, and shops. New York's newest
hotel, which for the time being bears the
title Largest in the World" manufactures
enough ice in it's private factory to supply
town of SO, 600 inhabitants.
Among other significant facts, the mana
ger of this hotel mentions that $4,000 a
year is the expected cost of replacing rugs in
public rOOmS-tnaC is paTlOrS, lODDleS, anu
dining rooms. The amount of wear and
tear on hotel furnishings is SO enormous that
repair shops are included in every up-to-date
hotel. In these workshops, concealed in
some out-of-the-way part of the hotel, work
men are always employed to recover chairs
relacquer beds, or mend broken furniture
Furniture movers are also part of the
regular staff of big hotel. One of the most
famous New York hotels employs twenty
men to move furniture in the day and two or
three at night. This particular moving staff
is probably the largest employed by any no.
tel in the city. 1t is necessary because this
hotel entertains many conventions and dele
cations, and makes a speciality of rapid
changes.
A bride and groom may occupy a parlor
suite one day. AS as they depart, the
rooms may be turned over to printers
convention, and machinery of the trade set
up where brocaded furniture was an hour
ago. At a recent dinner of the New York
Aero club, six airplanes were hauled up the
hotel staircase to the banquet room to serve
as part of the deco 'ations. The hotel mover
thinks nothing of getting automobiles up to
the ball room for an exhibit without scratch
ing the furniture.
The hotel just mentioned owns portable
stage as large as that in any small theater,
as we'll as scenery, curtains, and electrical
apparatus, and this stage be set up and
made ready For a performance in a ball
room on a couple Of hours notice.
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1919-05-16

Not that it loves swine less, but children
more, the Pensacola Journal makes a cogent
protest against the Florida Legislatures cut
ting in half the appropriation of the State
Health Department in order to provide fund
for combating hog CHOLERA. Under the new
plan, it appears the Department will have
which ten thousand will be required for the
home for crippled children, at Jacksonville
and some thirty thousand for the maintenance
of the five State laboratories. That leaves
but forty thousand dollars for the educational
and preventive work which the Department
is carrying forward. Prevention rather than
cure is the watchword in every progressive
State, and health education is important be-
yond measure, particularly in rural districts.
Wherefore, our Florida contemporary le-
clares that whilst it believes heartily in any
movement to aid live stock raising, IF it is a
question of children or hogs, then children
come first
This assuredly is the gospel of practical
sense as we'll as of right principle. The great
human interest should be put trst-always
first-in legislation and public expenditures.
To protect health and to provide good schools
is prime duty of State, county and munich
pal governments. BY all means let animal
husbandry be encouraged through liberal ap-
preparations. But is it not reflection upon
the farmers intelligence to divert to the well
fare of hogs fund which is imperatively
needed for the protection Of his children?
No State can afford to relax or curtail it's
efforts for health conservation; and if, I'M
happily, any does, it will repent pound-Wise
for it's penny-folly
