priation for the improvement of the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal are
believed heightened by the action Of
the House In Washington. yesterday
afternoon, which increases the rivers
and harbors appropriations by S15,-
100000.
The action OF the House further is
believed to insure final appropria-
lion of the item Of s63O,OOO for IN
development OF Wilmington harbor
and the new port terminal, now
building.
As the bill stood it carried appro-
priations OF S27,635.26O. which was
the exact amount recommended by
The new budget bureau and approved
by the appropriations committee
The engineers OF the War Depart
ment, however. had recommended a
total OF S42.S15.66l. This sum in

projects as well as for continuing

CIVIL SERVICE
IS CONDEMNED
Daugherty Says System Is
Expensive Experiment to
Uncle Sam
WOULD GIVE OFFICE
UNDER OLD PLAN

WASHINGTON, March 2s Omitted
Press. abolition OF the civil SER
vice system OF selecting government
officials and a restoration OF the old
plan Of basing appointments on po-
iitical recommendation is favored by
Attorney Daugherty.
This was revealed today by testi-
mony OF Daugherty before a sub
committee Of the House approprla-
tions committee.
81 would rather take the recon-
mendation Of a committee either
Democratic or Republican for tho
appointment of man or woman
than TO be compelled to go Through
the requirement Of the civil service
to secure an employe.
They are hardly as ambitious.
hardly as energetic, under the civil
service as are those not under the
civil service. I discovered, both be-
fore ! came here as attorney-gen-
eral and since, that civil service en-
ployes spend too much time trying to
work out plans 10 make themselves
secure IN their position. While this
situation cannot be remedied at
present, still IL is worthy of careful
study"
Daugherty then said that many OF
his employees not under civil service
often work long after hours. while
comparatively none OF those under
civil service do so.
Daugherty. who said his views
were personal and that he was not
speaking for the administration
startled members OF the committee
with his position.
The civil service system was es-
tablished after a long fight against
the old plan OF basing appointments
on political qualifications and ser
vice"
The Attorney General frankly said
he considered the civil service In
efficient, stating he was thoroughly
convinced that IL has been n very
expensive experiment for the gov
eminent" without the civil service
he believes the Government could
operate with two-third less employei
than are now on its payrolls.
Il suppose ! have been voting IL
party platforms and local elections
for the civil service proposition foi
many years but I am thoroughly
convinced that the civil service is &
hindrance to the government. sale

The Community Sale
What 1t Is and WhV
1t Is - The Reason
for Its Existence.

Merchants of Little Falls continue
their policy Of price reduction by offering
collectively on Wednesday,, June 18th,
|seasonable, standard merchandise at pric-
es that will appeal to the careful buyer.
These prices are far below the normal
retail price of goods of equal quality. Such
opportunities are possible only when ev-
erybody co-operates.
When the spirit of mutual confidence
is supported by an earnest desire to help,
astonishing things can be accomplished.
The business men Of Little Falls want
this entire community to know that they
are willing to do their part to serve the
community. This great Community Sale,
in which they convert the whole business
section of the town into an efficient de-
partment store, is the proof.
The sale will be for one day only. The
purpose is to make you acquainted with
the quality of merchandise, regular pric-
es and the wide variety from which to Sc
lect, that is carried on the shelves of the
Little Falls merchants. Now is your op-
portunity to save money and time by TAX
ing advantage of the generous invitation
of your partners, the Retail Stores of Lit
! tie Falls. Read the special listings on the
inside.

One Day Only
To the Careful Buyer

The merchants Of Little Falls have
united to form a gigantic department
store for one day. That day is WEDNES-
DAY, JUNE 18th. AS the farmer is able
to reduce expenses by cooperative SELL
ing, so the merchants are reducing ex-
penses by cooperative effort in having a
regular Community Sales Day. The saw
ing that is made is passed right on to the
purchaser.
Every item on this entire shopping list
is here because it has been passed upon by
a committee as being seasonable, fresh,
and at price below the regular retail
price and below the figure at which it can
be sold regularly. It is here as an invita-
ton to you to visit the stores Of Little Falls
On Wednesday, June 18th, and see for
yourself the evidence of the intense
earnestness of the Little Falls merchants
in continuing their policy of price reduc-
ton.
It is needless to call your attention to
the fact that you have in your hand a
'Emass' of advertising matter.
But what's it all about? It would be
NATURAL for you to ask that question.
The COMMUNITY SALE is not a
new idea, though it has developed much
from the small beginning it had some
eight or nine years ago. It is just exactly
what the name implies-a sale in which
the whole community takes part. This
does not mean that every business house
without exception takes part but it does
mean that almost without exception, ev-
cry line Of business is represented in the
sale Here is the idea in nutshell.

bargain day that has ever been held in this
vicinity. You will notice on these pages
the special values offered This is only a
starter, hundreds more await you at Lit

pleasant and profitable one for you.

Broadcasting the News Of Little Falls Community Day
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 28-oNE DAY ONLY
The Merchants Of Little Falls Have United
to form a Gigantic Department Store for

Every merchant can afford to sell for
items of merchandise at cost, provided he
can by so doing bring a large number of
people into his store. They need not buy
a penny's worth Of other merchandise
than that which is offered at the special
price.
It is good business because it brings
you into from perhaps twenty to seventy
Little Falls stores. It is good business be-
cause it sends you home supremely happy
and we'll pleased with these good mer-
chants. It is good business because it has
induced you to buy some merchandise
from stores that you may not have patron
lied heretofore, and that merchandise
will serve as sample of the kind Of goods
they sell. Samples must not be poor val
ues. They must represent the same degree
of honesty that you will find in the whole
average run Of their merchandise. And
these Community Sales Day specials are
samples in more ways than one.
Even if you have nothing to buy, the
Little Falls people will have our juvenile
band, consisting of something like thirty
five pieces, on the streets throughout the
day and our local theatre will have special
attractions for that day, continuous from
II o'clock in the morning till $50 in the
afternoon, free to all women, children and
men residing outside of Little Falls. So
take day off and help swell the crowd,
it's a sure thing that your neighbors will
be here getting acquainted with all the
advantages in Little Falls.
