QUAKER STUDENTS
SOLICIT FOR GYM
Grads and Undergrads Or
ganiZe to Raise Rest of
$4,000 Fund.

The gymnasium fund campaign,
which was inaugurated several weeks
ago by the senior class OF Earlham
college, and which is now in the
hands OF student committee, is
assured of success, according to re-
ports from the committee today. The
plan is to raise $25, 900 by September
Is, 1914. To date $7,150 has been
raised. This amount has been secured
chiefly among present students and
the faculty. No canvass has been
made of the alumni and old students
of the college. The campaign will be
conducted this summer by the various
committees in charge. 1t is hoped to
raise at least $4,000 by next year.
Over one hundred students will be
engaged in the canvass this summer
and it is believed that there will be
little trouble in raising the $2o, 1000
Over two hundred letters have been
sent out by the central committee to
members of the alumni. Committees
are also being organized in some of
the larger cities to take over the work
in their community.

Goldfinger. a Main street merchant,
had obtained a ten day option on the
Vaughan block, which extends north
from the northeast corner of Eighth

east from the corner to the first alley
between Eighth and Ninth streets.
What the purchase price is fixed at is
not known, nor is the date when the

In the event the deal is consum-
mated. which is said to be practically
certain, the old structure, which is in
such dilapidated condition that the
third and fourth floors have not been
tenanted for years, will be torn down

to provide for fifteen cOmmodious

TALKS ON THRIFT.
BY T. o. MAC GREGoR.

In a period of high cost of living like
the present IL behooves every man to
look we'll to the purchasing power of
his dollars, not only as indicated by
market reports, but more particularly
the skill and wisdom with which his
dollars are expended. Over market
prices he has little, II any. control.
while the other is quite within his
province to regulate.
The dollar a man spends should buy
its full measure of value; the dollar he
saves should earn its full measure of
interest.
The dollar of today can buy no more
than So cents ten years ago. In other
words. had you placed a dollar in the
savings bank ten years ago and left
Il undisturbed. you would find. upon
drawing IL out today and going to mar
ket, that even with its increase in val
ne due to the working OF compound in
terest. Il would be no more effective
in satisfying your wants than was the
original sum. While II was growing in
size. II was contracting in its power to
buy.
We are apt 10 get the notion that
thrift Is merely the saving of money.
and Judge a mans thrift by the number
and frequency OF his visits to the saw
ings bank. FORGETTING that thrift is just
as much proved by the way a dollar is
spent as by the number of dollars
earned. Spending il. perhaps. .fner

Find Body of Harrison Boy
Drowned in Hackensack River

The body of William Toppe, eleven
years old, who was drowned in the
Hackensack river. Kearny, last
Thursday morning, was recovered to-
day. Robert Snyder, a boatman, dis
covered the body floating near where
the youngster went down. The lad,
son of Bernard L. Hoppe, of 100
Manor avenue, Harrison, left his
home Thursday morning and went to
the river with a companion, Andrew
Hahn.
The pair made their way to point
near the bridge of the electric line
of the Pennsylvania railroad. Young
Hoppe had been in the river only
short time when he went down.
Efforts made to save him were fruit
less. 1t was believed at first the
youngster had been pushed into the
river. Chief of Police Michael
Rodgers and Patrolman Frank Cam
pion, of Harrison, investigated this
story, and found the parents of the
lad had been misinformed by play
mates of the boy.
Several persons had been graphing
for the body since the drowning. The
remains were removed to the Har-
rison morgue today, and. after being
viewed by DR.. Henry Alters, deputy
county physician, the body was re-
moved to the Hoppe home.

WHAT ISAAC HULL DID.

Sir Robert Hadfeld, a tall, gaunt,
typical loose-collared Englishman,
had been about the Navy Depart
ment in Washington for a day or two
trying to obtain a contract for the
British firm he represents that has
twelve and fourteen-inch shells to
sell.
One morning at the close of con-
ference with Secretary Daniels, as re-
lated by Fred C. Kelly in the Phila-
delphia Ledger, Sir Robert paused in
front of the historic silver urn that
was presented by the citizens of
Philadelphia to Captain Isaac Hull
after he had walloped the supreme
tar out of the Guerrero with the Con-
stitution.
What urn is that?" asked Sir Rob-
ert of Daniels
"'Twas a gift from the people of
Philadelphia to Captain Isaac Hull"
replied Daniels, politely.
Sir Robert put on his monocle, ad-
justed it, leaned back and took an
other look at the urn.
Hull" he repeated. Isaac Hull.
I suppose I must have heard of him.
Who was he? What did he do?"
Daniels swallowed, shifted from one
leg to another looked off into space
and tried to ignore the question. But
Sir Robert inquired again:
What did Hull do?"
well, SIR" smiled Daniels, "since
you force me to say it, he did the
English"
