John Wanatnaker pays over $1,000 a day just lor advertising his Philadelphia store. He uses a page advertisement in live different daily papers of Philadelphia. They are as fol lows: Press, $60,000; Ledger, $60,000; Times, $50,000; North American, $75,000; and the Evening Telegraph, $50,000. Up to about a month ago, Mr. Wanatnaker was using a page in the Record at the rate of 87,500 a year, which would have made an annual expenditure of $382,500. When he wanted to renew his ad vertising contract with the Record, the pub lishers asked $25,000 more or a total of $112, 500. Mr. Wanamaker refused to pay the amount thinking no one else would pay that mini for the page. The proposition was made to .Lit Brothers, who accepted the contract without a moment's hesitation and they are now paying the enormous sum of 112,500 for the use of a page in the Record for one year. The circulation of the Record now runs iilxmt 100,000 copies a day. If advertising does not pay how can these firms spend fortunes every year for a single pige of a newspaper ? WATER WORKS FOR MIDDLEBURG. A I AHE Port ever since it is under the present management has jiersistently advocated a that a water plant would be a good investment many years, but the absence of any serious fires has been a drawback. Unfortunately too many have considered the expense of putting in a water works plant and have failed to consider the advantage of such a plant. We might leave out of the question entirely the matter of pro tection against fire, which is enough of itself to warrant the erection of a plant, and consider the features of convenience and cleanliness afforded by having water in your residence for your pan try, your Iwtli room and water closet, a jtave wash and a street sprinkler. What a relief a street sprinkler would have leen last week dur ing the oppressive heat and dust. Many have advocated the idea of the munici pality putting in the plant, hut that would be impractical for several years owing to the pres ent bonded indebtedness of the school !oard. it is now ?!,."()() and will shortly be reduced to 'ST. 1)1111 Tlin Lirnu.rli nan I 1 iaa,l? ... V,,..'V', ,,1 Wllll Ull IM.IIIl Will III the extent of 7 per cent of its valuation. The valuation of this borough now is $15,290.00 and seven per cent of that won hi le $10,703. De ducting the $6,000 of the school board would leave $4,703. This would not be sufficient to build water works. The industrial development of this town and vicinity has been so pronounced that any further delay in this matter would mean a draw hack to our growth. One of the chief objections Mr. Paskust had to locating his tannery here was the absence of a good system of water works. He is reported as saying that he is willing to pay $100. a year for the use of the water for his tannery, It is estimated that a good Bysteni of water works can le erected for 810,000. The interest on this sum at six per cent which is now considered a very high rate, but let us take it at six jver cent so as to make a good investment for investors, would amount to $000. a year. Now the Railroad Company would likely prefer to get their water here in preference to Paxtonville and would be willing to pay a creditable sum for the use of the water. At Selinsgrove, the Post is inform ed, the railroad Company pays an annual rental of $420.00. If enly 20 persons took the water at an average of $15.00 each it would amount to $300 and the borough itself is able to pay about $300 a year as a protection against fire. This would reduce insurance a great deal. These figures are given for. the purpose of showing way that if the borough wanted to buy the plant ) There Is more Catarrh in this gee in five years it could do it. The law gives the tTSSSLt oorougn me ngni to Day it in ten yearn at act- : veirs ws supp ,hpi to be ml cost of construction with six per cent interest. The source and power of the water supply should Ire examined and a careful estimate made of the amount of water that can be supplied from the springs on Shade Mountain and if the supply is adequate, a water works plant could be erected at u very small cost. The P kst calls the attention of the members of town council and the investors of the town to this matter and hopes that they will not longer delay in a matter so vital to the safety of our property and at the same time a matter of so vi tal Importance to the industrial development of our town and Franklin, which of course should he joined to the borough of Middleburg, good system of water works for this borough and the position of this journal on that question is unchanged. Several efforts were made and all of them unsuccessful. This town has been in need of adequate protection against fire fer and would afford a protection to our property against fire. Some home company should be or ganized and the plant erected. The town coun cil should give the use of the streets free, but the municipality should protect itself in such a THE Pennsylvania Railroad Company's com parison of earnings and for month of April, 19 01 and for four months ending April 30, 1001, with the same period of 1900, is as follows: Pennsylvania railroad lines directly operated, month of April, 1001, Gross earnings increase $628,600; expenses increase, $101,000; net earnings, increase $437,000. For four months ending April 30, 1901 : Gross earning increase, $2,754,000; expenses, increase, $1,193,600; net earnings, increase, $1,500,400. YOUHG men are beginning to learn that there is a greater demand for skilled engineers min ing, mechanical and civil than there is for law yers anil doctors, and that the number of clerks and accountants has never fallen short of the demand. When the knowledge of this fact has become more clearly understood, the institutions devoted to the instruction of industrial sciences will be overcrowded. Even now they are unable to furnish graduates fast enough to meet the de mands made upon them by manufacturing firms. Nn anrly. Ho Cow.
