IDEAS ON THE HIGH ~
COST OF LIVING

The Rev. DR.. Madison C. Peters
Of New York, said at banquet Civ
en- Monday night in the Bellevue
Stratford by the General Society
of the Daughters of the Revolution
that famine will be caused in this
country and a revolution will break
out ii Is per cent Of the people in
the United States continue to live
in cities without reducing the cost
Of living.
"The cost of living is high be-
cause we have rapidly become a ma
ton of cities" observed DR.. Peters,
in speaking on the subject, "'The
High Cost of Living and How to
Reduce it.
''Fifty-five per cent of our pop
ulation today lives in cities and
towns. Twenty-Five per cent Of our
population lives in cities of 100000
or more. In 1850 there will be 300,
100000 people in the United States
and if the present drift continues
IS per cent of them will live in our
cities then we will have a famine
and then a revolution. The high
cost of living brought on the
French Revolution.
"Our living is high because we
are poor farmers. To reduce the
high cost of living our farmers

NEWARK BOY
AS AUTHOR
Volume of Stories Full of
Promise

Newark and the Class of 1910 Of
Delaware College has produced a
budding author-and one of much
promise-in Philip Gerhardt Arm
strong, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin
S. Armstrong of COoch s Bridge.
The John G.. Winston Company,
Philadelphia, has just issued
"Foreordained,' volume OF
short stories by Gerhardt Arm
strong, who for some unaccount-
able reason has dropped the first
part of his name.
The book of some 26O pages
takes it's title from the first of the
eight stories to be found between
it's covers. Mr.. Armstrong, though
having barely reached his majority
has seen much Of the seamy, sordld
side of life as a reporter OH a Phil
adelphia newspaper, and he is
frankly no apostle of joy. On the
contrary all Of the sketches have
that sombre note so characteristic
of the French masters in the short
story art which Mr.. Armstrong
seems to have taken as models. His
aim has been high and his achieve
ment remarkable for one OF his
years. His friends are predicting
for him a very successful career IN
literary fields.

part by placing the trash on the
curb line in front of the property
where it may be loaded in the wa

kind of cleaning day:
The microbes all are groaning,
The parasites are moaning,
The germs are packing up their
grips to seek
Best means of transportation

For they never could survive a
cleanup week.
Fill each marsh Fill each hole!
with the ashes from your coal!
Sow grass seed on the bare spots
on the lawn!
"Paint the doors! Put up the
screen
