WilmingtOn's Water Supply

There was a drop of more than ten
million gallons in the consumption of
water during the past week, as COM
pared with the corresponding week a
year ago. Last week118,644,000 gal
Ions of water were consumed, whereas
in the same week of 1918, 129,320,000
gallons were consumed. The closing
of the saloons, which used much
water, the exodus from the city now
that the war is over, and possibly a
difference in weather conditions, evil
IDENTIFY enter into the cause of the de-
crease in use of water.
The pumpage for the week ending
July 18th was 125,236,42O gallons. For
the corresponding week of last year
the pumpage was 125, COG 1922 gallons.
The current fund balance for the past
week was $3,563.70. The special fund
amounted to $15,602.93. The current
payroll amounted to S1,839.60, and
the special payroll to $166.81.

Delaware College Expands

Plans are being mapped out by the
trustees and also some friends of Del
aware College to increase the teaching
staff and also make some increase in
salaries, with the object of making it
one of the finest engineering colleges
in the country. A committee consist
ing of H. Rodney Sharp, of Whining
ton, and Henry 1. Cannon, of Bridge
vile, members of the board, and Irene
dupont and Henry P. Scott, of Will
mington and DR.. Frank C. Grier, of
Milford, friends of the institution, was
appointed to carry out these plans.
One plan it is understood, is greatly
to broaden the engineering department
by giving more courses and a higher
grade. 1t is reported that the time is
not far off when a modern engineering
building, similar to Wolf Hall, which
houses the agricultural activities and
which cost 100000, will be erected.
The principal work of the committee
will be to raise an endowment fund to
add to the liberal fund that Pierre S.
DUPONT gave the college several years
ago. The committee will investigate
the courses in the big technical insti-
tutions of the country.

Want High Wages, Cheap Products

The Central Labor Union in Will
mington which is organized to raise
and maintain high wages wants Will
mington Council to buy and distribute
food products by the carload and dis
tribute them by cutting out the pro-
fits of provision dealers. 1t was man.
ifested that the people should have the
opportunity to benefit by the distri-
button of government supplies, 20 per
cent. below cost.
The housing problem in Wilmington
is still unsolved. The Labor Union di-
rected the secretary to send a COM
munication to the United States Ship
ping Board protesting against the
high rent charged for the houses at
Union Park Gardens.
These houses were erected by the
emergency Shipping Board to supply
houses for wal workers. The Labor
Union did not protest against paying
carpenters masons and plumbers from
Sc to SO a day for constructing these
houses for which rent is asked for
from $50 to $50 a month. The cost
of these high wages was counted as
capital invested, yet these same labor
unionists do not want to pay for the
products they produced at the same
rate they get.
If food products are SO costly the
remedy is the complainant to go on a
farm and grow more to reduce prices.
If the Wilmington Labor Unionists
think the food merchants get too much
profit, they should go into the business
and do it for 20 persent less than cost.
1t will be a good way to distribute
their high wages among the poor and
learn the other side of business by
going into bankruptcy.

John B%arleycorn

John Barleycorn my, Joe John,
Your evil work is done;
Your wicked reign is past, John,
We've got you on the run,
You fought with tooth and nail, John,
You hollered loud and long,
In a better cause your spunk would win
Our appreciation strong.
The father now stays in at night
And reads the evening news;
The kiddies all wear faces bright
New dresses and ley shoes,
The frying pan is full of steak,
Although the price is high!
But since you made your exit, John,
They a afford to buy.
The City Hall is empty, John,
Our cops have naught to do;
No DRINKS go reeling up the streets
Since we got rid of you;
The mothers face is wreathed in
smiles,
Her heart is light as down;
A song of praise is on her lips
Since you skiddooed from town.
You resisted long and strong, John,
A stubborn fight you made;
Your temperature was something fierce
Two hundred in the shade.
Adieu, a glad adieu, John,
With joy we let you go
And hope to see your face no more
John Barleycorn, my Joe.

The new department is charged

at established elevators; appraising
elevators that are under consideration
for admission to the Equity line; and
designing and building new elevators
at stations where they are needed.
Already the first of these new line
houses is being built at Bengards,

OBITUARY
MRS. OLE n. ELGERoss.

MRS. OLE N. ELGEROSS. - u
Mrs. Ole N. Elgeross OF the Town OF
Willmar, died last Saturday morning,
May II, 1919, at the age of nearly
eighty years, after a two weeks ILL.,
ness from gall stones.
Mrs. Anna Karen Elgeross was born
at Birkeland, Sveen, Norway, June IA,
1889, her parents being Mr.. and Mrs
Christian Birkeland. She was mar.
ried to Ole Elgeross March %, 1869.
The following year on May IT,, the
national day of their native land, they
set sail for America, coming to Will
mar July -, 1870 In the fall of 1872
they settled on farm in Section five
where they have lived ever since and
where they celebrated their golden
wedding last March.
She leaves a sorrow stricken hus-
band, one son, Nels, at home, three
daughters, Mrs. K. X. Bue of Green
vile, S. Dak., Mrs. OLAF T. Birkeland
of Wi1lmar, and Gurine at home; also
by nine grandchildren. She also is
mourned by two sisters, Mrs. Bertha
Johnson and Christine Birkeland.
Mrs. ElgerOss was a woman of low
able character and of strong Christ
ian faith.
The funeral took place this after
noon at the Lutheran Free church,

bearers are six nephews Of the de-

modern houses that can be designed
for the work. All the new houses we
build will be with the idea of giving
permanent service to the men who
grow the grain. Most of the old hous
e-s were constructed with the chief
idea of providing place to store the
grain until the elevator companies
were ready to ship it. Our idea is to
give the growers the best service, and
make our houses a permanent part of
the grain business in this territory.
For that reason we will do more sub
stantial construction work than is GUS
tomary with the old houses"
I'VE are drawing designs for the
common crib style Of houses, and also
for concrete and steel houses, the
particular capacity and material of
course depending upon the needs of
the particular localities"

eer King the other day said:
"We are going to be able to effect
substantial savings to the various ele-
vators to be constructed or repaired
because of quantity buying. For in
stance we will buy gas engines and
motors in quantity, and grain separa-
tors in lots Of five, thus getting ad-
vantage Of jobbers' rates. We also
will standardize all equipment, which
will mean that machinery can when
necessary be transported from one
house to another, and will mean econ
omy of operation, especially when the
line system is extended as it is ex-
pected it will be this season to 100
or more new houses
I'VE are also preparing standard
designs for elevators, that is stand
ardizing the designs as far as prac-
ticable, although that does not mean
the building of elevators of the same
size and arrangement at all points.
Our first idea will be to build and
equip the new elevators so as to give
the greatest service to the farmers
that will patronize the elevators. All
of them will be supplied with clean
ers. Farmers can bring their grain to
the elevator and take back with them
an amount of screenings equal to the
dockage on their grain. Screenings
bins will be located right above the
wagon dumps, so that as soon as the
farmers grain is dumped, he can If
he wishes take~on the screenings COM
ing to him. We will also install auto
matte shipping scales at all our new
elevators, which will greatly facilitate
shipments and insure the utmost &C.
