MOVING DAY RUSH HERE;
EVERYBODY is DOING IT
Heavily Vans Crowd citys Thoroughfares-Rush to
New Apartment Houses Is Epiden,ic-New Workers Are
Taking Up Residence in Newark Suburbs.

This is moving day and practically
everybody is doing it.
Biggest first of October rush ever
is the way one of the moving men
characterized 1t.
Big vans could be seen all day
moving up and down the city's s
thoroughfares and causing you to
wonder if there was anyone at all in
town who was not moving.
Today is the most popular day in
the year on which to move, and
everybody seems to take advantage
of it. Moving vans were at a
premium today, and moving men
throughout the city declared they
could have done twice as much busi-
ness again If only they had had the
facilities. Twenty-Five dollars load
was being asked, and If you hap
pened to be fortunate enough, or in
this case unfortunate enough, to own
a piano an extra Sc or $40 was tackled
on despite the fact that the piano
fit in the van with the rest of the
furniture.
Craze for Apartments.

in the air, according to the moving
men. Many of our own residents
who have lived for years in one place

On his deathbed Clement had told
his second wife that the insurance

obtain the money. On the strength of
this she arranged for an elaborate
funeral
When Clements first wife appeared
and said that 1t was she who owned
the policy Mrs. Clement No. 2 told
the undertaken that she would be un-
able to defray the cost of the funeral.

To this the first Mrs. Clements re-
piled, it is said:
"Well | guess l will have to pay
for his burial. But I'll not pay for
such an expensive layout as this.
nor will pay for any cabs. If any
one wants to follow the hearse let
them walk"

according to the admission of a
brother, but later obtained divorce.

WOMAN TRYING
TO CONVERT ALL

That is the attitude of Mrs. AL

She said so herself today. All Nut

strenuous campaign she has been
largely instrumental in planning does
not convert every one of the 1,220
voters of the place to Progressive
principles, Mrs. Geer will be bitterly
disappointed.
At least seven big meetings are on
the program he has been actively
arranging. There are to be two
mass-meetings in the Town Hall,
three ward meetings, an Italian rally
and Bull Moose suffrage demon
stration at the Womans Club.
Mrs. Geer was first among the
women of Ntuley to join a political
party. Her signature stood at tho
head Of the list on the very first
paper drawn up in the town calling
for Bull Moose meeting.
The members of the league effected
a permanent organization in Dittig's
