CINCINNATI STARTS ~

activity along unique lines.
A first-class up-to-date laundry
in one of the public bath houses
operated by the city, under the jur1s-
dictton Of the department of public

days during the week it is thrown
open to the public, and the installa-
ton of power washing machines,
dryers and mangles makes the fam
lily washing far less of a. burden and
drudge upon the already overworked
housewife. Further, the ridiculously
small charge Of 10 cents for every

FOOD ROTTING AND
PEOPLE GO WITHOUT
Observation-Disclosures;

Proof that short and cheap route
from producer to consumer of food
stuffs should be devised and devised
soon If the present high cost of liv-
ing continues to go higher, is seen in
the reports that thousands of bushels
of apples are rotting on. the ground
because the cost of gathering and
marketing the fruit is greater than
the price it would bring.
Reports like this, that important
foodstuffs are ripening and rotting,
appear to contradict the statements
so often heard that farmers are not
raising enough to keep the prices
down.
And not only are fruit and veget-
ables allowed to rot, but, according
to reports vast quantities are actually
destroyed, dumped overheard, when
the middlemen think there is a DOS
slblllty that prices may go down.
Until the entire system of distri-
buting farmers produce and a sane
scheme adopted for market food
stuffs: we will continue to read of
rotting vegetables and at the same
time have the pleasure Of paying ex-
orbltant prices for what is allowed
to reach the markets.

EXPRESS COMPANIES
AGREE TO CUT RATES

WASHINGTON, Nov. e.-while
predicting disaster as to the outcome

OF the United States informed the In
terstate Commerce Commission that
they would place in effect the new
block system of rates and reasonable
rules and practices outlined by the
commission.
This decision Of the express COM

sued by the commission, means that
all the far-reaching reforms in the
express business determined by the
commission to be necessary will be

II you want to know how the peo-

utilities commission ask them about
their street car fare case. OF course
the commission did the proper thing
in ordering reduction in fares, but
the company does not respect orders
from state commissions any more
than it pays attention to resolutions
passed by city councils. In this case
the company appealed to the courts,
and the delay has been much longer

The court has fixed Dec. as the

from the decision of the Wisconsin

Attorney w. r. Foley, of Superior.
representing the company, states that
the case will be tried on it's merits.
1t is anticipated that if the. case goes

PREACHER PLEADS

Rev. G. j. Armstrong Of Superior
Asserts It Would Be to the
Employers Benefit.
That it is to the interest OF the en-

That it is to the interest of the en-
ployer of labor to aid his employees
In securing better working and living
conditions. was the assertion made
oy Rev. Z. j. Armstrong of the Con-
gregational church In Superior, Sun
day night in his lecture, How the
Other Half Lives" .... .
Better working and living condi-
tons not only benefit the employee,
put also increases his working eff
cheney and thereby benefit the en-
ployer," he declared
Mr.. Armstrong asserted that manv
employers of labor already recognized
the benefit they would derive from
improving the lot of their workers
and had taken steps to make en-
ployment more" desirable. He re-
corporations employing large num-
1erred to number of individuals and
pers OF men who were already en-
gagged in such welfare work.
speaking of wages, he stated that
as statistics were now compiled they
frequently made 1t appear that the
workers were better paid than thew
were in reality. When the daily wage
was quoted, and appeared to be amply
suHlclent for the work performed, it
was frequently the case that the work
was OF casual nature, and that the
earnings Tor the year were very low.
Ihen again, when the average wage
PAID In any industry was given. it
was usually found that the wages of
mighty pal demployes was AVERAGED
IN With the pay Of workers getting
Tar less money, making the wages ap-
pear higher than they were in fact.
10 prevent misleading the public
through such unfair statistics. Mr..
Armstrong suggested that a wage d.
vision be made in figuring the aver
ages.
Mr.. Armstrong; interesting lecture
was the feature Of the second mems
service since the organization of the
efforts of the men Of the PILGRIM
congregational church to stimulate
interest In the church work. In ad-
dition to the pastors address, an or
gan recital was given by Miss Faith
Helen Rogers, old familiar hvmns
were sung by the congregation and a

!. !. DEF|ED |! B. NELSON \
Paper King Wanted Him to Swear
In Tough Men as Peace r.
Officers. =

B. F. Nelson, the millionaire lum-
herman and paper manufacturer Of
Minneapolis. who is resident Of that
city, has recently become so public
spirited that he proposes to regulate
the affairs of communities in which
he does not reside.
A short time ago he headed a. COM
m1ttee of citizens to ask Governor
Eberhart to remove from office May
or johnson of Little Falls for failure
to ''enforce" the law. OF course the
newspapers did not give the real rea-
son why the benevolent B. F, Mel
son was particularly interested in the
removal of the Little Falls mayor. If
they did it would show up this man
In his true light to the people of
Minnesota.
Mayor johnson seems to be above
the ordinary city executive. He has
high conception of his duty as
mayor. He proposes to run Little
Falls in the interest of all the people
of that city. and not in the interest Of
the Hennepin Paper company. Mayor
johnson did not do Mr.. Nelson's bid
ding, and the paper king showed his
teeth and went straight to Governor
Eberhart to insist upon the mayors
removal, mayor who had the au-
dacity to say mo- to man of B. F.
Nelson's powerful influence,
AS is we'll known the papermakers
of Little Falls have been on strike
since last May. B. F. Nelson is
president of the Hennepin Paper
company, which is involved in the
strike. The company has turned the
management of the mill during the
strike over to a. strike breaking
agency, which in turn has imported
into Little Falls a bunch of strong
arm men. Nelson wanted these men
appointed police officers They were
not citizens of the state, and the may
or would not appoint them. Nelson
demanded they be appointed, but the
mayor still refused. TO protect life
and property he did, however, ap-
point several citizens of Little Falls.
to act as peace officers. but they were
not the type Of men Nelson's company
wanted. The mayor was boss on this
job for once, and he stood pat. And
1t was for this reason B. F. Nelson.
lumber baron and paper king, de-
manded the scalp OF the Little Falls
mayor.
The demand was SO brazen it was
repuls1ve even to the governor. He
refused to comply with Nelson's re-
quest, and Mayor johnson is still
bossing the lob at Little Falls

KNOXVILLE TRACTION

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 6.-The
employees of the local traction sys-
tom are on strike. 1t was brought On
by the antagonism of the company
against organization. In spite of the
hostility Of the company, the men
organized, and the usual tactics fol-
lowed by traction systems were put
into vogue.
Practically all the people in the
city are walking, the public sympathy
being unanimous in favor or the
striking carmen. This sentiment is
SO complete that nearly every indi-
vidual seen walking on the streets is

Mexico, working in Nuevo Laredo,
and not: residents of that city, must
Immediately remove there and make

This arbitrary order has resulted in

This is the most drastic order ever

Chair and Chairman Grow

Business has been very good this
summer, especially in that part of
Callaway's Royal Blue SELF Shoe
Store presided over by James
Moonan, who was recently designat-
ed by the Record as superintendent
of the mechanical department.
Some peoples heads would have
been swollen by such fattery, but
not so with James. He simply grew
all over; SO much so, in fact, that
blocks have been placed under his
shoe-enamelling chair to bring it up
within his reach. People who first
tried the risen chair the other day
thought they were going up in an
aeroplane, but James assured them
so earnestly that there was no dan
ger that everything is peacefully
happy, and the business is booming
every day.

Dog May Bite Kicker.

According to the Summit police
court a dog may bite a man who
kicks it, even though the kicking
might have been done to prevent
it's biting. Clark Hanville charged
that Frank Sommo's dog had bitten
him badly on the hand, but Sommo
claimed that Hanville had kicked
the dog because it was biting an
other dog. The police justice dis
missed the case on that ground.

PHENOMENAL RISE in VALUE
OF HUNTERDON COUNTY LANDS
Gains Made in Rural Property in This Section
Exceed Rosiest Promises Made by
Western Promoters.

People who are continually study
ing Western lands, Southern lands,
city and suburban developments,
and other things in the land line
calculated to increase their invest
ment as the years go on, do not
need to stir more than an hour or
SOS drive away from Lambertville,
right here in Hunterdon County.
One place, sold for $1,000 nine
years ago has brought Zoo;
another place that brought 81, 100
at the same time, was recently re-
sold for $4,000; another place, sold
for less than $4,000 half dozen
years ago, has lately changed hands
at a figure of nearly or quite
$4,000.
A village lot, sold a few years ago
for $500, and later for $3.50,
is now valued at $4,000, and some
thing like $500 has actually been
offered.
Another place, sold for $500, has
brought it's owner an offer of $3.50.
A farm bringing some trivial sum
like 50 per acre has recently been
sold for $50 an acre.
These values are not on the SGue
dink River plateau in Oregon, nor
just off Broadway, New York, but
are right here in Hunterdon County,
running from half an hours to an
hour and half's drive from this
city. The places where these rises
happened are known by name in the
Record office.
1t has been conservatively esti
mated that man with $4,000, and
$4,000 of borrowed money at six
per cent, invested in Delaware and
Kingwood Township real estate,
between 1903 and 1906, could have
paid back the loan and made
around S25, 900, exclusive of interest,
up to the present time, on his invest
ment.

Ice monopolies in Labrador, gold
mines in Tonopah, diamond mines in
Brazil, and oil wells in Texas all pale
into insignifcance beside this and
the principal invested would have
been absolutely safe the whole time.
1t is likely that every one of these
places could have produced enough
profit each year to have paid the
interest and cleaned up, inside the
nine or ten years, the original in
vestment, leaving a residue of
S35, 900 or more absolutely clear.
One man regarded certain farm
as a bad investment, eight or nine
years ago, at $4,000, although he
had the money to buy it with.
Another man got it, paid the in
terest, made little money besides,
and later sold it for $1,000.
Another man, whom for reasons
of his own does not wish to be
quoted just at this time, told the
editor of the Record a few days
ago that the gain in appearance and
value in Hunterdon County real
estate the past ten years had been
greater than any other like section
in the United States.
Having occasion to visit almost
every community in this section of
New Jersey, on business entirely
foreign to real estate, he was sur
prised and amazed at what was
being done in the way of improve
ments in rural sections.
