Nothing MARRIED Occasion.

Those from this city, South Am
boy, Metuchen, Tottenville and
other nearby places who went on the
Baptist excursion to West Point
yesterday spent a most enjoyable
time. The trip was devoid Of all
accidents and those participating
declare they spent a most pleasant
time.
Various departments in the First
Baptist church had charge of selling
novelties and refreshments from
which a neat sum of money was
cleared. Members of the Dorcas
class distinguished themselves with
a large sale of ribbon, flag and card
novelties, which were unique and
attractive. The Ushers' Association
sold a large amount of soft drinks
and the Baptist Brotherhood reaped
a nice sum in the check room. The
Ladies' Aid Society sold ice ream
and sandwiches from which a large
sum was realized and the Philathea
class came up to the mark in the
sale of confectionery.

Warm weather of the past week
seems to have been the cause of the
splitting of several hungarian. Po-

city. Three such cases have come
to the attention of Recorder Kehoe
thus far this week and he will prob
ably hear testimony in n of them
tonight. The weather man seems
to have been responsible for the dis

which some people have become I'M

Mrs. Andrew Farlo, of 485 Miller
street, swore out a warrant before
Recorder Kehoe for the arrest of her
husband this morning. She declared
he had left their home. Marshal
Walters was instructed to lock him
up. Two other men complained
that their wives had left them. One
of them told the recorder his spouse
had suddenly disappeared from their
home and left him penniless and
without clothes excepting for the
few garments he wore. The recorder
refused to entertain his complaint.

Hurts Rural Social Life.

Columbus. - The telephone, rural
delivery, automobiles, growth of
cities and labor saving machinery are
among the principal causes which con-
tribute to the decline in rural social
life, according to data in the hands of
Secretary A. P. Sandles of the state
board of agriculture. For the pur-
pose of gathering information to be
used in an address he is scheduled to
give before the Farmers national
congress at New Orleans, November
7, Mr.. Sandles mailed list of ques-
tions to dozens of men prominent in
business and educational circles in all
parts of the country. He has received
many answers. Because of automo-
biles and street cars, it is argued, that
many from the rural districts seek
their social life in the cities and towns
which now easily may be reached be-
cause of the advantageous modern
means of travel

Bank Stock Value Increased.

Shares of live banks in Ohio have
increased in value in the last year
1921 1888, according to the assess
ments of banks as announced by the
state tax commission. On the face
of the figures, it appears that there
have been increases, amounting to
$5,719,713 and decreases amounting
to $3,042,072, net increase of $2,677,'
GAL, but the liquidation of three banks
in Cincinnati and one in Columbus
lost $4,554,942 to the tax duplicate,
or $1,512,270 more than the total de.
creases. The difference in the actual
decreases and the loss by liquidation,
$1,512,270 added to the increases,
