Loose Methods Of Business.

'While a good many unfair meth
)ds," says the bulletin, "are at pres
snt practiced by those concerned in
the marketing of hay it appears that
most of them are related to loose
methods of business on the part of
various agencies engaged in the
handling of hay. On the basis Of care
full observations made throughout the
hay producing and consuming sections,
and at the principal markets, it is
thought that some improvement in the
methods of marketing hay can be OBJ
tanned by observing the following sug-
gestions:
ION the part of the country shipper:
More care in grading, weighing and
loading the hay better forms for use
in confirming sales tabulating and
stating weights, and for invoicing hay
and, more care and accuracy in stating
terms of sale.
"On the part of dealers in terminal
markets: The elimination Of the prac-
tice of allowing the state Of the mar
ket to influence the fulfillment of con-
tracts with country shippers; more
uniform methods of handling in ter
minal markets; better weighing meth

 The investigators mentioned were to cover the ground thoroughly. They were to look up the standing of the contestants in the community; they were to make all sorts of inquiries concerning them.

 In this town one of the three who passed the necessary examination with the highest grade might be appointed to the postmastership.

EMIL MALMGREN.

There is something particularly pathetic in the death of a young man of the type and personality of Emil Malmgren, to whom the end came early yesterday morning. Yet there is comfort for those to whom he was dear in the pride that they may feel in his achievements during the com paratively short period of manhood which was allotted to him.
 At an age when many boys are still at play, he was at work winning the confidence of his employers which resulted in his recognition as one business affairs usually handled by men many years his seniors.
 At an age when many young men are just leaving college and trying to settle down to facing the realities of life, he had gained place in his com munity which carried him into the counsels of the city where his attractive personality made his a welcome presence.
 The brave fight he made for life was but another example of the strength that often lies beneath the friendly smile of a man who believes in and practices strict performance of duty without undue parade of prin- ciple.
 Emil Malmgren, probably the youngest member of the Common Council of the city, leaves vacant a | chair pregnant of promise. Just a
 bit of brightness will be taken from the council chamber; a touch o1
 cheer will be missing from the at.
 mosphere of the portion of the city
 in which he lived; in business circles
 the absence of his young face will be
 quietly noted, and in the home there
 is sadness upon which it would bt presumptuous to touch other than tt

that the city may not know what to do in regard to paving it's streets.
 Formerly the Connecticut company was required to pave nine feet in the center of the street where it's tracks ran It is now found that the com pany is obliged to pave only eight inches each side of it's rails.
 This leaves a space between eight inches each side of each rail that the City must pave. The city may not very we'll go ahead and pave that space without cooperation from the Connecticut company.
 Moreover the ties belonging to the company extend more than eight in ches outside of the rails. In other words the ties extend underneath tha surface of that portion of the street wlich the city must pave.
 Were the city to go ahead and pave the street outside the eight inches, and were the Connecticut company then to decide to lay new tracks, the copany would be obliged to rip up some of the pavement put down by The city. South Main street needs repaving. This would be some of the work which would give something to do to more men, as well as benefting the city. The trolley tracks there are in bad l condition.
 The Mayor communicated with the | company some time ago, stating tn 5
 situation and calling attention to the
 condition of the tracks and street The
 Connecticut company's agent replied ! that the company was in no condition
 to take the matter up at this time. and
 that it could not be placed before the
 roard of directors immediately. ] If the line is to be discontinued, as | n the case of Arch street, the ci y
 would gladly pave the whole street l This, however it would not be able t: do with the possibility of having much of it's work wasted

THE POST OFFICE.

The bill providing for the desired addition to the local post office isl Lelng watched with keen interest by those having charge of mail matters here Postmaster Delaney has had no notice of any hearing on the bill as yet.
 This being the situation, facts which would aid in it's passage are worthy oi emphasis.
 A man is much more inclined to give good quarters to one in his em- pioy wherein the employe may do bus mess when he knows that employe is deserving, efficient and economical
 So the government. political ex- igencies'' being eliminated, is more in- clined to add to the facilities of post office where it may be shown that such office is efficient and econom- ical.
 All this may be said of the local post office. Up to quite recently 1t has been with great difficulty that it has continued it's efficiency owing to the fact that it was hard to receive authority from the department to em- p1oy sufficient men,
 By dint of much planning; by using the greatest number of its employees in the busiest hours and having few men idle in the slow time of the lay, that efficiency has been continued.
 Only recently have there been enough men employed at the post office to do the necessary work with out that rush which would tend to the ; making of mistakes were not the most eirict watch kept. And this result has come not because of the obtain HE of more men, but because the ] business of the office has become such 5 that the number of men employed could handle it.
 Postmaster Delaney's remark this morning, therefore, that there is no intention to lay off any employees, by no means signifies a failure to recog- nize the wisdom of the order for economy. It means that the force, never adequate in the rush periods, had it not been for skilful manage ment and cooperation, has more near ]y approached such adequacy at last.
 Saving in paper and string and aI- lotment of hours to employees so that their greatest efficiency might be ob- tained may seem small matters, but if such economies were observed throughout the country there would be less necessity for the curtailing of forces at time when employment Is not easily obtainable.
 Perhaps it would not be pridins ourselves too much to say that the order reminds one of Captains re- mark in a training camp while the war was in progress. He had jus criticized in the severest manner the men in his company for their failure tO do their work well. Some hour. later, approaching a group of men of the drill field, he unbent for a mo ment and committed the remarkable act of becoming quite human.
 "I wasn't talking to you men," h; said You're all right. It was tn, majority of the company that I wa bowling out'.'
 Perhaps the fact that the New Brit sin post office is one of the small number which does practice the strict est economy will help just. littl when the bill for that addition come uD for passage.
