Thrifty People Alwoys
 Buy in August

August is the "buy- ahead" month for people who would save money. It is normally month when people stop buying things summer be- ing nearly over and the new season not quite here.
 But we store keepers have to pay rent and the salaries of our employees, as we'll as many other overhead expenses, so we have to do many quite extraordinary things to keep the store busy.
 We can't expect people to come in and buy things just because we want to sell them, so we have made it our business to create many unusual buying opportunities. Some of them we tell you about here, but many more "dot'' the various sections of our store. So all this month this store presents merchandise offerings of unusual interest, so that all who come here will discover saving opportunities.

An AnsrUer to McAdoo

WASHINGTON, D. c., April g.
Testifying before the Senate Com
mittee on Interstate Commerce at
Washington today. Mr.-Daniel Will
lard, President OF the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. said in part:
IL has recently been stated by Mr..
McAdoo before this committee that
the railroads broke down in 1917.
In fact, II was claimed that not only
did they break down in 1917, but
that they also broke down in 1916,
and 1t was on that account, so It was
intimated, II not definitely stated,
that II was necessary for the Presi-
dent TO take possession and assume
control Of the railroads, which he
did on the 1st of January, 1918
Actual Performance of Roads I'm 1917
The actual performance OF the
carriers during 1917, when measured
in terms OF ton miles and passenger
miles. together with the statements
which have quoted in that connec-
ton from officials Of the Govern
ment in position TO know, would
seem to clearly establish the con-
trary for that year at least.
With all the difficulties growing
out of an unusual, unforeseen and
unprepared situation, the total
freight service performed by the
Glass railroads of the United States
in 1917. reached the high figure of
430 billion ton miles. an increase OF
127 billion ton miles above the ton
mage handled by the same railroads
two years previously, and this in
crease alone, as pointed out by Mr.

OUR FIRE loss.

From the Middletown Transcript.
Middletown and the Surrounding
community is in universal MOURN
ing. as a result OF the disastrous fire
early Thursday morning which de-
stroyed the opera House, Postoffice
building and badly damaged two
dwellings adjoining these properties.
The loss OF the local playhouse
leaves Middletowp without a place
OF amusement. and our movle-going
public will be hit hard as a resul
Of this confiagration.
The financial loss to our fellow
townsman Mr.. James +. Lewis. will
be heavy. az well as the losses sus-
tanned by the owners and occupants
OF the other destroyed or damaged
buildings. We sincerely hope that
the fire-swept buildings may soon be
replaced by new and modern ones.
The Transcript cannot lose this
opportunity Of extending to the local
iremen, as well as the six other
companies who kindly responded to
the call, the community's deep ap-
probation OF the valuable services
rendered by them. for without their
presence many other places OF bust
ness and a score OF our homes would
have been reduced to ashes.

The Director General has pointed
