a blunder. The local manager of this
store is brilliant and there isn't a
more popular person in Greenwood.
We thought we were some talker, but
when this manager took the floor
Can this person talk interesting? Say,
folks, if we could talk like this mana
ger we would think we were some
pumpkin, but it even don't make a
dent on this person.. The manager is
chuck full of new, clever ideas and the
best part of it is that this person
isn't afraid to take hold of them. The
class of merchandise sold at this store
can't be beaten and the best way to
know whether Greenwood people like
them or not is to go there and see
crowds shopping.

WORK WILL COST
NEARLY S1,0OO,OOO
Forty-fve Hands Now Employed, and
Number Will Be Increased to 13O-
Capacity to Be Increased so Per Cent
Spur Track from Station.

After nearly a month of preliminary
work for extending the power plant of
the Connecticut River Power Co. at
Vernon the actual work of excavatiny
for the foundation for the addition to
the power station was begun today The
brick building win be extended west
ward l10 feet and part of it viii be in
the state of Vermont
In order to make the extension il will
be necessary to excavate for a founda-
tion until rock is reached, which may
require going down go feet in some
places. The dam and the present build
ing are on a solid rock foundation.
The purpose of extending the build
ing is to make room for the installation
of two more electrical power units. each
of which will have capacity of 5000
kilowatts, which is double the capacity
of each of the eight units already in
stalled.
These units also will be more efficient
than the old ones, which. have become
out of date through the advancement in
electrical science and invention, and
gradually the old units will be supplant-
| ed with new ones. The Office also will
be moved from the present building in
to the extension.
The west bank of the river is some
distance west of the west end of the
| building, masonry wing extending
from the bank to the building and guild
| ing the water into the racks. This ma
sonry wing obviates the necessity of
constructing a Golfer dam outside the
limit of the excavation operations.
Robert Doring is the superintendent
of the job, and he now has about As men
at work This number will be increased
to 130 as rapidly as they can be used,
and they will be kept at work until the
job is completed, which viii be after
cold weather begins next fall
During the preliminary work a spur
track has been laid from the Central
Vermont railroad nearly to the highway
northwest of the power plant, but it
viii not be laid across the highway un-
til permission is secured from the pub
lie service commission, for which ap-
Iplieation has been made.
A camp is in process of construction,
which includes a dining hall, sleeping
quarters and necessary buildings, and
these buildings are built in a thorough
manner, providing first class facilities,
with excellent running water. An office
building also has been erected, besides
a supply house.
The expense of the new installation
will be well toward $1,0O0,000, and it
win be financed by the Power COnstruc-
ton Co. of Worcester, Mass, subsidi-
arv of the Connecticut River Power
iCo When the new work is completed
the present capacity of 10000 kilowatts
will be increased to 10000 kilowatts,
which is approximately 10000 horse
power.

While sentiment in the German cabl-

conditions. 1t is expected that the amend

attitude of the Germans is divided. 1t
is believed, however, that the Germans
knowing the certain results of a reiusa
to sign, will in the end agree to the
terms. In the meantime Marshal Foeh
