Reduced

Director Of the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company issued the following
statement this morning. Tn view
Of the changed economic conditions,
it is a manifest obligation to the
public generally. and especially TO
the shippers, passengers, investors
and stockholders that railroad ex-
penses be reduced.
THE management Of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad has already made a
reduction of over 10000 men in its
personnel, seriously curtailing main
tenance OF roadway and equipment,
consolidated Divisional Organiza-
-tions, and has stopped all expendi-
lures on new work.
Even with such economies as
/ have already been enforced it takes
almost the whole of current earnings
merely to pay current operating ex-
penses.
1t is evident that the require
ments Of the transportation Act that
railroads shall be administered in an
efficient and economical manner
cannot be satisfied without stil fur

BERRY PROSPECT
Spring Production to be
Greater by so Per Cent.
Than Last Year
MAY REPLACE
TOMATO CROP

SALISBURY, March 21.-The
farmers in this section are looking
forward opumistically TO the straw
berry crop this spring.
The outlook at present is for an
increase Of about so per cent. over
last year. which means about 1900
carloads from the section within a
radius OF SO miles OF Salisbury. For
the last few years this crop has been
the best-paying one the farmers have
raised. Il is said
II is thought that the strawberry
will in a large measure take the
place Of the tomato in this section
I'm the future, as the tomato was a
failure as a money-maker last year.
whereas the strawberry was un-
usually profitable as a crop, yielding
the growers an average of 25 cents
quart.
There will be a large acreage Of
plants set out this year for bearing
next season. Hundreds of orders are
being received weekly for straw
berry plants by W. r. Allen and e.
w. Townsend, two OF the largest
plant growers in the East. These
plants are shipped to various sec
tons OF this country. TO Cuba and
Canada and other foreign points.
Tho berries raised on the PENN
sula are said to compare very fav-
orably in the city markets with all
others handled. Pittsville. in Wi
comico county; Marion Station, in
Son,ereet. RrSdueVilIe and Selbvvflle
in Delaware, are four OF the largest
strawberry shipping points in the
United States.

RAISED NOTES
APPEAR in SEAFORD

sEAFORD Del. March 21.-One-
dollar notes Of the Federal Reserve

asked for change. shortly after the
Negro left the merchant examined
the note and detected &c had been

Negro had escaped. The work looks
like that OF an amateur, being good
in some respects and bad in others.

CAN ONE SERVE THREE
MEALS FOR 80 CENTS?
WRITE YOUR ANSWER

What can one buy each day to fur
nish two people with three substan-
tial meals at a cost not to exceed so
cents?
That was the question propounded
to the Palladium by housewife
Thursday. To answer this question,
it will be necessary for Richmond
women to send in menus for two,
which can be provided at cost with
in the stipulated amount.
This housewife said that she knew
of a local woman whose husband did
not draw the salary formerly paid
him, and that the steaks and chops 20
which they had become accustomed,
could not now be bought When all
household expenses had been betrayed,
this couple had but so cents a day
left with which to provide three meals.
What shall we eat which will not
cost more?" she asked. There are
many housewives in this city who are
confronted with the same problem, and
they would like to know how others
manage to furnish the table each day"
Acting upon the suggestion of this
woman, the Palladium is inviting con-
tTibutiOns detailing menus for day
which will not cost more than so
cents. Send suggestions to the Menu
Editor care of the Palladium.

Everyday Adventures

That's What You Call Service
When you're kept so busy all day
at the office that you don't have
any time to think about Christmas,
except in the evening, when the
stores are all closed
And you realize that the days
are slipping past without bringing
you any nearer to selecting pres
ents for your mother and sister and
Aunt Sarah, but you really don't
see what you can do to help mat
ters-
And then you suddenly wake up
10 the fact that Christmas is just
two weeks distant-and you get all
worried and clustered, because you
wantto give the folks specially good
presents this year
But then one evening, while
you're reading the Palladium, you
notice the Gifts For Her in the
Christmas Gift Suggestions col
umns in the classified section
And there you find a regular
made-to-order shopping list of ex-
actly the sort of things you'd been
trying to think Of-and you make
a note of the stores to go to-and
so your Christmas shopping is all
settled
