Don't Throw Records Away
BY Frances Marshall

| Copyright, 1916, by the Mcclure
Newspaper Syndicate)
A little while ago there was reported
in the newspapers an incident that
puts a point to the statement that
records, receipts and similar papers
should be carefully preserved. Three
brothers had a farm, and, fortunately
they preserved a record of it's sale to
their father or grandfather almost a
century ago. The record was lost by
the government land office, and when
some dispute as to the ownership of
the farm came up the three brothers
in question were very grateful for the
prudence that had caused the receipt
for the farm to be preserved.
OF course, it is foolish to keep every
receipt for money that we receive
But it is equally foolish to destroy
such records carelessly. They do not
take up very much room and they need
never be allowed to accumulate untid-
lily. Receipts for a good many years
can be kept in small filing cabinet.
One Of metal might be worth while, be-
cause of danger from fire.
A safe deposit box, of course, is the
ideal place for valuable records-deeds
and other things of real importance. A
safe is also good place for them. But
lacking both Of these a brown paper
file or desk drawer will serve as a
safe enough keeping place. OF course,
there is still the danger from fire, and
that Is an ever-present menace So
the fireproof store place for valuable
records is best
AS for the receipts that come every
day, week and month, from butcher,
baker and candlestick maker, these
need not, Of course, be kept indefinite
ly. Keep the receipt for each bill until
the next comes. and. II the next bill
has no unpaid balance on it, it is safe
to throw the previous receipt away.

new YORK LETTER
ON STRIKE and
The EPIDEMIC

New York. Sept. 22.-(SpeciaD.-
Preparing for the most serious street
violence that has been seen here since
the days of the bread riots, the
city authorities have today given up
hope Of averting the general labor war
fare that the striking unions threaten
to precipitate. With the strike SYM
pathizers already keeping every po-
liceman busy by day and night an
added walk-out Of teamsters, long
shoremen or any other large class OF
workers would result in almost uncon-
trollable disorder, 1t is admitted. Be-
fore this year ends. New Workers fear
develop into real war, which will
completely crush all activity here.
Parents Protest
That the parents of this town are
ready to resist any attempt to begin
school terms for several weeks to come,
has just been shown by legal proceed
| ings prepared by local parents or
ganization and intended to enjoin pub
lie school opening this month on ac-
count Of the paralysis epidemic. Thou
sands of families have sent word to
their homes here that they will not re-
turn from the country until after
Thanksgiving for this reason. while
few mothers now in town are letting
their children play in crowds. Alto
gether, it is feared that this seasons
schooling will be we'll set back by the
fear of further contagion before the
frosts set in.
open.a air Opera
! Following the unique trial Of open
air opera which eight thousand people
rushed to hear up at the City College
Stadium this week, it is now being
planned to institute a series Of such
performances throughout the next
summer season. Although a chilly
evening caused this capacity audience
to SILVER in spite of the fine music in
Die Walkueve," it was shown that
the crowds here really appreciate such
a show and would welcome it's regular
repetition during another summer. In
spite Of the instant success Of all pop
it has always seemed that they are
never kept up or offered often enough
to satisfy the public demand.
Bread Booming
Unless wheat expectation is put un-
der an embargo loaves of bread will
soon cost twenty cents apiece and
flour fourteen dollars a barrel, accord
ing to leaders in the baking business
who have just met in Brooklyn. The
actual cost of producing an ordinary
bread loaf is already seven cents, on
account Of high prices due to wheat
expectation, the bakers declare and
they propose to keep on raising its
price as costs increase further. With
meat now sold at record prices and
milk mounting, New Workers view
with alarm the problem of providing
any sort of food during the coming
winter.
Lows Life
With the burial of Seth Low and the
imposing ceremonies attendant upon It
the people Of this town have been re.
minded of a modest life in which a
score Of years were devoted to the most
faithful public service. Though this
ex-mayor made little open show Of his
activities as a publicist, almost every
one of his waking hours were devoted
to earnest labors for civic welfare. Only
the close associates of Low know the
vast extent of the services which he
was always plunging into to help the
| community.

out any mitigating circumstances,
John was ordered to- furnish bond in
the sum of 800 to keep the peace. He
could not do this at once, so he was
sent back to Jail until thatrequirement
had been complied with.
