COSTS less TOLIVE
IN MONTCLAIR NOW
Ranks Low in List from Eco
nomic Standpoint, According
to Labor Bureau.

The high cost Of living in Mont
clair has taken a big tumble, accord
ing to statistics compiled by the New
Jersey Bureau of Statistics of Labor
and Industry. Only seven towns in
the State out of list of sixty-seven
show lower living cost than Mont
clair, and fifty-nine show a higher
cost despite the fact that in 1911
Montclair topped the list of New Jer-
ysey towns in the cost of food sup
plies.
The official figures show that a
test bill of goods which in Montclair
in June, 1911, cost $16.36, can now be
bought for $12.96, saving of 81
The same goods can be purchased
in Califon, Hunterdon County, for
$10.41, but the residents of High
Bridge must pay for the same goods
1855, and of South Orange $15.41

is 1888, or 10 per cent. more than
Montclair pays

fully that the reduction is due to

In Defense of Father.

Every nov and then father will
come across a little baby shoe when
he is rummaging through an old
trunk: To him it is only a cheap
little bit of kid that was worn by a
little tad who got sick and died He
can't see why my mother keeps it.
But to mother the little shoe has
warm lips moist with her kisses, lit
tie hands that cling lovingly to her
breast and little eyes that look into
her very soul and understand her
sorrow" The above appeared in the
columns of one of our most valued
exchanges and brought forth the fol-
lowing comment
Here is where we call for a new
deal for father Mother is all that
has been said, and more, God bless
and keep her! Father is all that has
not been said. know men who rush
away into the dark and grieve on
their knees with their head in their
arms, because a little baby died a
long time ago. And after that they
come out and face the world smiling
and brave, and the world doesn't
know. | know a man who carries a
little daughters little shoe in his grip
when he goes out upon the road,
and sleeps with it beneath his pill
low, and | know many fathers who
will never be comforted this side of
the grave. Let us still love and cher
ish mother, but let us also give faith
er credit for being at least half hu-
man"

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
Making a Home of II.

Under the above heading the
Tribune of Chicago says:
Cities are absolved from blame
for Turing the boy from the farm and
the more or less stable existence of
the tiller OF the soil to the uncertain
lot of the city laborer or clerk. Ac-
cording to bulletin of the Wsicon-
sin Country Life conference, the
blame for the desertion of the land
by the young must rest largely with
the parents, with the farmers them
selves.
The average farmer. says this bull
letin, has until recently been inter-
ested in his crops. cattle and a bank
account more than he was in the
comfort of his wife and children.
With the city man it has been the
reverse. The wife of the city me-
chanic, whose income was far smaller
and immeasurably less secure than
the income of the farmer, has for
years been having hot and cold water
in her kitchen, a bath in the house,
and gas and electricity to cook, wash
and iron with. Her household work
has been cut to a minimum. The
wife of the farmer is still largely
away unnecessarily. Be-
cause of this drudgery, the want Of
a comfortable and consequently in
teresting, attractive home, the migra-
ton from the farm to the city has
been unprecedented in recent years,
it is asserted.
The Wisconsin Country Life con-
ference incorporates some practical
advice to farmers in it's bulletin. It
the various machines
which might be installed in the farm
home at a comparatively small ex-
pense, and which would go a long
ways toward making life on the farm
lighter on the woman and more at
tractive for the children. The bulle-
tin holds up examples-farms which
are run on a modern basis and are
made to pay better. The farms so
run not only keep the children at
home, but keep them interested in
the home, in the farm and farm
work, is shown. 1t is timely and
valuable advice and is sure to bring
light and happiness into many farm
home that feels that there is some
thing wrong with it, but does not
know just what is wrong and how to
remedy it."

UNCLE SANS BIG GRAND JURY.

1t is good news that Wilson's in
dustrial commission is to try to learn
what is underneath the labor war in
Michigan and Colorado, whittier such
strife is leading us, and, if possible,
the way out.
Its inquest will have behind it am
pie authority and funds and a pa
tience which will allow due diligence
in searching for the truth.
1t has no power to mediate in any
controversy; no power of action at
all. 1t is merely a grand jury, to
inquire and lay the results of its in
quiry before congress and the peo-
pie.
But unlike certain industrial COM
missions of the past, it starts without
bias and wishes to collect all the in
formation which it can lay hold on
concerning the causes of industrial
unrest.
Moreover, it starts with the advan-
tage of sharing the new point of
view-that what democracy needs is
not the massing of property in the
control of a few, but welfare wide
spread and as evenly distributed as
human brotherhood can accomplish.
Viewed from this angle, many old
ways. once highly reverenced, will
appear vicious; and many results,
long held in honor, will be revealed
as not further tolerable.
An inventory thus guided cannot
fail to be of value.
To aid it in every possible way
will be a public duty.

BE A BOOSTER.
(By Elizabeth Yockey.D

Are you booster? You'll find they
are few,
But many a knocker. Which one are
you?
Don't boost Ashland, and then fall
down
When you're asked for a dollar to
bring renown.
II they ask for a bond, will you give
them a vote?
II for collateral true, sign your name
to a note?
All work together, there's no other
way;
This knocking and grumbling will
never pay.
Don't be grump, and don't be a
croak;
Jf down on your luck, don't say
twas Ashland that broke"
And the good that you say, say with
power and zest;
Let your slogan be, "Ashland's as
good as the best"
Read the paper reports, both far and
near;
Whate'er the weather may be, it's not
so bad here.
II sick of yourself, go away for a
while;
You'll return we'll content, be happy
and smile.
Boost for the highway, bobst for the
springs
Boost, and Boost" the echo rings.
Boost for the climate for all the
year;
Boost, and the outlook will seem less
drear.
OF course, we want truth-simplt
truth can't hurt
But don't cover the good too deer
with the dirt.
II there's bad, discard it; If good
then clap;
Keep Ashland the Beautiful" on the
map.
Take pride in your homes, plant trees
in each yard;
Try all sorts of boosting-'twill sur,
bring reward.
Boost, and sometime you'll be proud
to say:
81 helped build Ashlaud-she's here
to stay"
That knocking business is low, any
way;
Get the boosting habit yon1l find 4
will pay.
Now, all | have said to this fact II

THREE VIRGINIANS.

Woodrow Wilson was born at
Staunton. Va, in 1856. Robert l..
Owen, chairman of the senate bank
ing and currency committee, was
born at Lynchburg, Va, in 1856.
Carter Glass, chairman of the corre-
spending committee of the house,
was born at Lynchburg, Va, in 1858.
Other men had much to do with
the enactment of the new banking
and currency law, but these three,
born withing fifty miles of each 9TH
er, two of them in the same year,
had the greatest responsibilities. One
is president, elected from New Jer-
sey; another is a senator from Okla
homa, a state not dreamed of in his
youth, and the other, a representa-
tive, still lives in his native town.
In country so vast and so new
as this, Fate plays many pranks, but
in all it's history there have been
few condolences more interesting.

Boys who will shape the ways for

Boys who will forward the tasks be-

done.
The world is eager to employ
Not just one, but every boy,
Who with a purpose staunch and

Will greet the work he finds to do.

The city of Chicago has established
charity store for groceries and a
coal market where the poor of the
city may be supplied at reasonable
cost. In order to finance this ven-
ture the city council of Chicago has
appropriated $4,000. 1t seems a
sad commentary on the average sys-
tenn of distribution that it is neces-
sary in any city, in order to protect
the poor, that the city shall consti-
tute itself as "middleman."

a GOVERNOR FROM SOUTHERN
OREGON.

Southern Oregon has never been
represented in the gubernatorial
chair. and it looks as if 1914 might
be the accepted time. The eyes of
the state have been turned to this
section the past few months. by the
campaign for a state exhibit in Ash
land during the Panama exposition,
and the magnitude and importance
of this section OF the state is becom-
ing more and more manifest.
There are many candidates for gov
ernor from the Willamette Valley,
and two of them, Mr.. Miller. who
formerly claimed Jacksonville as his
home, and Mr. Carter, who points
with pride TO the fact that he once
lived in Gold Hill, are for these
reasons seeking the special support
of the people of southern Oregon.
However, neither of them is in any
way identified with the present life
or future prosperity of the southern
half of the state. Both are as essen
TALLY representative of the northern
part of the state as if they had never
lived south of the UmpQua divide.
Southern Oregon, with the right
man in the field, who could solidify
the vote of the eastern and southern
counties, should be able to win out
over the field of men who will split
the northern Oregon vote. This will
come, not by arraying one section
against the other, but because the
people of southern Oregon believe
that southern Oregon man at this
time will be better able than a man
of equal ability from some other sec
ton to properly handle the affairs
of state.
A man from southern Oregon, es-
pecially if he has had legislative SER
vice, or been otherwise SO identified
with public affairs as to have made
study of conditions throughout the
state, will by the very location of
the capital and its proximity to the
metropolis of the state be brought
into contact with the needs of that
section, but the man who lives and
has his interests in the same section
as that in which his duties as pub
lie official place him, can never have
SO intimate and thorough knowledge
of the conditions in outlying portions
as one who has lived there.
Among those mentioned for the
position from southern Oregon is
Senator Won der HELEN OF Eagle
Point, who has had an extensive leg
islative experience that would be of
great value in dealing with the ques-
tions which will come before the
chief executive. He would start out
with the solid vote of Jackson county
and would be able to carry by an
overwhelming vote the counties of
the southern, eastern and southeast
ern part OF the state.

WHY so MUCH TO THE FEW AND
so LITTLE TO THE MANY?

Last year the leading mail order

over 1912 OF almost Is per cent,

or every dollar handled, a dime
went into the kitty. Almost as for
tunate a record as Henry Ford's.
Yet many women employees of this
prosperous institution are being paid
wages which just enable them to
keep noses above water. The bulk
of the prosperity remains at the top
The largest stakeholder gives much
10 charity--and receives much praise
in consequence.
But II may be fairly doubted II
what he gives in that way does half
as much good as II It were to be dis
tributed in higher wages among
those now receiving the least, and
in closer margins OF profit upon
goods sold TO consumers.
Above a comfortable living and
enough surplus to insure the enter
prise against the fluctuations in bust
ness, why should he want to pile up
millions, which embarrass rather
than benefit him?
Isn't this the next lesson which
our captains Of industry need TO
learn?

That is something of melon the
Ford Motor Company of Detroit pro-
poses to cut. 1t is claimed to repre-
sent 10 millions. and the employees,
office force and mechanics are to
participate in it. There is something
refreshing in the knowledge that
some men know when they get
enough. The average man of wealth
is constantly on the outlook for an
other chance to get a dollar.

The development of the motor car
industry is perfectly amazing, even
in these swift days. During the past
two years the number has practically
doubled, until now there are more
than one million registered and
licensed machines in the various
states. Suppose the average value
of each of these cars is $1,000, and
you have very large investment.
AS the figures stand there is a car
for each S4 persons in this country.
