Cheap Living Again.

Dan experiment in cheap living

GRITTY of such attempts and
certainly not so painful is that
of the little colony of Ruskin
now settled in Georgia.
The colonists live at an
actual cost of less than 10 cents
a day. The bill of fare
includes vegetables, raised by
the community, bread, butter,
syrup, milk, sugar, cereals.
cheese, tea and cereal coffee;
the last being manufactured by
the colonists themselves.
Twice a week meat is served
and when the arrangements for
raising their own cattle are
perfected they will have it
every day.
The community has a COM
mon dining room where 800
persons are seated at the table.
But any member can live 20
himself. Those who prefer to
do this are given an allowance
of 5or z cents a day with which
they buy their supplies at the
community stores. These fig
ures are surprising, but seem to
be well attested. Or course the
cooperative plan makes cheap
ness possible and the Ruskin.

National League of Democratic
Clubs is Invoked to Continue
The Splendid Work

To The Democratic Clubs of
the United. States:
The defeat of the Democratic
candidate for President imposes
upon Democrats everywhere
the practical duty of organiz-
ing their forces, This import
ant work must be undertaken
now and continued vigorously
until the National Government
is once more controlled by the
spirit and purpose of its
founders.
The nation has rendered "a
decisive verdict on the issues
submitted to the people, and
the administration of the affa irs
of the country has been again
entrusted to the Republican
party. All Democrats loyalty
accept and support the decision
of the majority.
The defeated leader of the
Democracy has borne himself
with dignity, and even those
who assisted in his defeat
acknowledge his honesty, cour-
age and manly patriotism. He
has vindicated the American
name of his urflinching SINGER.
ity.
There will be time enough in
the future to weigh and analyze
the causes of defe5t. The i'm.
mediate duty of Democrats is to
prepare the elements of victory
by making their clubs and
societies permanent organiza.
lions. Every club formed dur.
ing the campaign just ended
should be continued and increas-
ed.
In the purpose of the National
Association of Democratic Clubs
to promote the growth of the
broad doctrines of Thomas JET
ferson by unceasing efforts.
The National organization
therefore appeals to Dem ocrats
IN every State, county and pre-
cinct to renew the struggle for
good government at once, and
see to it that Democra tic clubs
and societies are maintained
permanently in every neighbour
hood. 1t is the duty of every
good citizen 10 belong to some
political organization so that
the collective virtue and intelli.
gence of the nation may be
brought to bear on questions of
platforms and candidates in an
and deliberate manner.
This is the time for Democrats
to go to work. Two and half
citizens are enrolled in
the membership of the National
Association of Democratic
Clubs. They should stand to-
gether now and in the future.
All who believe in Democratic
principles. regardless of past
political differences, are invit-
ed to assist in the great work
which lies before the Democra-
cy.
The National headquarters OF
the club will be kept open in
New York until a Democratic
President is seated in the
White House.

one or two Of the induStriais made good

it declined somewhat Some good selling
was noted in the stock during the alter

manipulators OF its boom have decided to

look for the stock, however, there can be
no discounting its rosy look As one Of
