A few years ago, according to Mr. j Eamshaw, Marlon was Just a country j village, with lanes Instead of streets,; ordinary incandescent lamps for: street lighting, and ' practically no' sidewalks. The railroad statloji was of the conventional old-style variety,! and was an eyesore within itself. San itation there was a matter of indi vidual enterprise, and was anything ; but a credit to the town. Then the Property Owners Asso--elation was organized. , First a few public spirited citizens came together,, discused the idea, decided that it was a srood thine, and formed n tpm- porary organization. Others became interested, and-in a surprisingly short time practically every home owner In the town had become a member. Then the Association started out to do things. Everybody was dissatisfied with the railroad station. A committee was appointed, a petlton was drawn up, the railroad authorities were ap- proached, and In a short time a new: and attractively modern passenger; tee or DanKers set forth In the final depot was under construction. , report of the reparations commission Through the efforts of the Associa-; is that, although a large Interna tlon, the streets of Marion were pav- tlonal loan to Gerrnany cannot he ed; attractive street lights on orna- recommended at this time, the sub mental metal posts were Installed ' Ject can be taken up later and that throughout the town; sidewalks were meanwhile a relatively small loan to laid down; and a campaign for effec- j prevent financial collapse in Germany tlve sanitation was undertaken with might be arranged, excellent results. Among other important things ac complished by the Property Owners Association of Marlon was the foster ing of so strong a civic sentiment that every householder in the town under took to beautify his own premises. And now, says Mr. Eamshaw, one may travel many miles before he finds s auracuve a small city as Is the Marlon of today, although a few short years ago It was a straggling, un kempt country village.

Nearly 65.000 barrels of Irish potatoes were ship ped during Thursday, Friday and Saturday, ift cars holding 200 bar rels each, and distributed as fol lows: Thursday, 84 cars, Friday, 80 cars and Saturday, 75 to 80 cars.

The potato rush Is also almost overwhelming the North River Line. That water transportation company brought shipments by half a dozen 7.500 barrels on Friday alone. Every available laborer has been Impressed Into loading service, and there is still a shortage of help on the docks. Prices for good quality potatoes, well graded, were still up Saturday morning, with N'ew York quoting $7.00 a barrel. Some shipments damaged by rot were reported, and these brought as low as $4.00 a barrel.
