The volume Of life insurance be-

months of the year, but this should
not be q source of encouragement

may be a falling off in various other

in times of depression, which we
do not anticipate, the amount of
life insurance placed goes right
along without much diminuuon IN

The opinion. we believe, of most
people at the present time, irrespec-

the country will now return rapidly

when a burned building means loss

tenants who now occupy houses on

L0WLY POTATO HAS
GROWN TO Be LUXURY
"Spud," Once Poor Mans Hope
and Friend, is Now Classed
as Delicacy.

Among CHE many changes wrought by
the war and the resulting high cost of
living" none is more marked than the
development of the lowly potato, or
''spud," into a luxury. Long highly re-
spected and touted as the poor mans
food" it has, with the mutations of time
and the combined manipulations of the
grower, the broker, the iobber, and the
retailer. gotten into the class OF luxlrles
along with porterhouse steak and sugar.
There are very few potatoes on the
local market. What the commission mer-
chants have on hand are selling at 81 TO
$3.50 a bushel, and this makes it Deces-
sary for the retailer TO sell the usual mea-
sure-a quarter peck-at not less than
35 cents, IN order to make anything on the
sale. At 80 cents a quarter-peck means
$3.50 a bushel to the think
of it. Potatoes used to sell for 40 and 90
cents bushel. but that was away back
in the good old days" before the war.
The new crop from the South and South
west will be on the market in about three
weeks. The new local c. .op will not
available for about a month and half.
1t is stated that the production on the
peninsula will be much larger than usual
in the prospect of high prices, and it is,
likely that this prospect will be realized.
1t is said that spectators and agents are
already in the field, buying the crops in
the ground. and that the prices they are
offering do not hold out any hope OF
cheaper figures for the consumer in the
days TO come.
Notwithstanding the high price that
potatoes have been bringing for some
months, the demand has been great-so
great In fact that stocks have about be-
come exhausted, and it would not be sur
prising if even further advances were
noted before the new crop comes IN.
The news from Brownsville, Tex, IN
the heart of the great potato country OF
the southwest, comes the report that po-
tatoes are selling in the ground at Sl32
a peck At Ellicott City, Md, they are
now selling at IS bushel
Seed potatoes are selling at So a bushel,
and it is said that farmers are finding
difficulty in getting good seed at that
figure. They are also finding it difficulty
to get help in planting and cultivating.

OVERALL FAD" WILL
DIE OUT, IS CLAIMED
Central Labor Union Opposes the
Movement as Tending to Raise
Price to Workingmen.

Good afternoon. Have you bought
your overalls yeti
If YOU haven't you had better hurry
because the price Is going TO advance,
according to the Central Labor Union,
which is opposed to the spreading fad
for that reason.
At the meeting of Central Labor Union
last night opposition was voiced 10 the
overall movement, because 1t tends TO
raise the price of necessity for the work
ingman The sentiment was expressed
that the overall" campaign was not a
well-balancedo or considered move, and that
the immediate result had beer a boost In
the price to workers. II was charged that
manufacturers had already increased the
price So per dozen on the pants section
of the overall suit, and that of course the
retailer would add that and ''tben some
to the price to the wearer.
There has been no organized effort In
Wilmington to start the overall move
ment. The Pusey & Jones Office force
took TO wearing overalls, 1t Is SAID. 1t
was suggested by the workers in the ship
wards who have been accustomed TO
wearing them, that if the Office men would
make it g. permanent wearing apparel and
would get out In the shops TO work they
cOulC MAKE enough W Duy Ni1e ltSlDdtiou
good suit of clothes.
The movement seems to be spreading
all over the country since its Inauguration
a few weeks ago In Birmingham, Ala.
The papers carry news every day about
the formation of overall clubs In all parts
of the country. Judges, lawyers, doctors,
preachers, Congressman ct al, have taken
It up. 1t is already a great boon to the
manufacturers OF overalls. 1t is said that
prices of clothing in some Of the cities
have already been considerably reduced.
How far it viii go and how long the "fad'
Will last remains to be seen.

.SEM|-MONTHLY WAGE
BILL IN LEGISLATURE
Important Local Industries, Would
be Put to Great inconvenience
Should it be Passed.

Whether the Legislature enacts INTO
law the pending bill requiring the pay
ment of salaries or wages as often as twice
a month, and in cash, or whether 1t rele-
gates it to the vast scrap heap OF bills that
never got BY, seems to be n matter OF very
little concern to most of the Industries IN
and about Wilmington, so far as could
be ascertained on inquiry.
Most of the industries pay their forces
by the week. and some of them have long
ago adopted the cash system The
changes that would be made necessary
by the passage of the proposed bill would
entail no great hardships, apparently
on any of the companies employing large
forces except the du Pont Company
This company has very large salary rol,
and paws by the month by check. Re
quiring it TO lnaugurate new system OF
payments twice a month, and IN cash,
would mean no little trouble and lncon-
venicnce. When il is understood that
the provisions of the bill apply TO all
employees of a corporation or company,
from office boy up to the president OF the
company or board OF directors, many OF
the high officials of large companies re-
ceiving very large salaries, the lncon-
venience of the cash system of payment
NAV be realized
While the du Pont Company employs
the largest salary force in the city or the
State, its number of wage carners In Its
industries in Delaware are not so many
There are several companies or manu-
facuring concerns that employ much
larger force of wage earners than do the
du Points Their principal manufacturing
establishments are outside the State, and
those establishments O, course would not
be affected by the proposed legislation
The shipyards. the Harlan plant OF the
Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation and
the Pusey & Jones Company, employ
large forces, but would have TO inaugurate
no new system of payment, except as 70
comparatively small office forces, rs they
pay their workers by the week. lt Is
the same with Bancrofts and the American
Car and Foundry and Amalgamated
Leather and several other industrial es-
Establishments in the city and vicinity
When asked concerning their views on
the pending bill, the reply IN most In
stances was hat it would not affect then
materially one way or the other.
As heretofore stated, the Chamber of
Commerce has gone on record as opposed
TO the bill, and have forwarded their pro
test to the Legislature. What effec
the protest or the Chamber and of tn
du Pont Company will have remains Z
be seen.
