This City.

The Otis library is in receipt of a
prettily bound book of Norwich, the
East Anglican capital, England

a special chapter dealing with notabili-
ties who made Norwich in bygone

The biographical sketches are most
ly accompanied with cuts, the first
that of the first lord mayor of Nor
wich, Right Hon. Ernest E. Blyth, LII.

whom, through Jonathan Trumbull, Ii
brarian of the Otis library, many cour-
tesies have been exchanged between
Norwich England and its namesake,
sketch of Walter Edward Hansell who
as a guest in town was much pleased
with the naInesaze of his native town.
The two closing pages are given to
Norwich, Conn, speaking of the prin-
cipaI buildings, manufactures and
places of interest, as well as giving
some historical facts. The article is
headed with a clear cut picture of the

in itself, with power to elect mayor and
two sheriffs yearly.s and 1910, when
the late King Edward directed that the
mayor should enjoy the style and title
of lord mayor, as it was the chief city
of Anglia and because of its close as
sociation with his majesty This latter
honor is enjoyed by only fifteen other
cities.

Times Will Continue.

Chicago, June S.-Elbert II. Gary.
chairman of the executive board of the
United States Steel corporation, in an
interview today predicted an increase
in the cost of living. a general wage
advance and an advance in the cost
of production of nearly all commodi
ties.
I'VE are now in the center of one
of the greatest harvests of prosperity
the country has ever Witnessed" said
Mr. Gary, land the future is bright
for continuance of good times but
with these good times will surely come
an increase in the cost of living. Com
modities are going upward: materials
are higher and wages are advancing at
a fair rate. This means more money
for the butcher, baker and others that
provide for the home. And it is not
only just and proper. but will make
for a better general result all over
the country"

"A. Cook in Arctic exploration, has
brought suit against Comma ander Rob

Why the Suit Was Brought.
According to Francke's statements
Comma nder Peary found him seriously
1ll at Etah, owing to fall on gla-
cier, and took advantage of this cir

Mr.. Clews Speaks on Opposition to
Postal Savings Banks.

Mrs Clews spoke on Reasons
against central national bank and
postal savings banks" saying that the
government was strong enough to dis
pense with all factitious and adven-
titious aid and all doubtful means, in
the mana agement of it's finances and re-
sourceful enough to be entirely inde-
pendent. Summing up his opposition,
Mr.. Clews said:
Instead of postal savings banks, it
would be better for congress to au-
thorize the national banks to establish
savings departments on a basis of ten
per cent special reserve for such de-
posits. This would meet the possible
requirements of some of the people,
particularly of those in thinly settled
localities where savings banks are as
yet few and far between.
so let us hope and pray that we
shall have neither postal banks nor a
central national bank in this country,
but let well enough alone, and-in the
future as well as in the past-go on
our way prospering more and more, to
the glory of the United States of AM
erica, and the wonder of the whole civ
ilized world"
