RECOVERING OUR MUNICIPAL BALANCE,

COME years ago Wichita proud city OF southern Kan
~ sas laid town lots at distances which made invest
gasp The story told and not contradced at that
time that an eastern capitalist visited Kansas City. wS
taken in buggy OF and shown the lots of
new addition which he finally decided not to buy.
The day following the same investor went Wichita,
the city which being heraldcd the New York OF
the west lie asked TO town lots Whereupon.
energetic real estate booster drove his client eastward
lar out OF and along thousands OF stakes finally OF
icring lots To which the eastern investor
replied "lcs they good lots; | looked at the same
lots in Kansas City yesterday"
Finally there settling day. buyers Of lots could
not pay, the Wichita boom collapsed night and
oriy of the people in and around that place said to
have gone broke
The town lots went back where they beonged-into
farms and gardens and Wichita started forward to be
come metropolis having recovered her balance and hav-
ing learned that a house built on sands could not last
So when we read yesterday in the Times in the ten
years-ago column about the additions that plated
in this city years ago we thought OF Wichita and
thanked the ates that recovered balance before
had gone too far. s.
The item in the Times of 1906 stated thatsl2S add-
on to Oklahoma City had been plated between 1900 and
1900 We fast drawing toward the precpice over
which Wichita fell And We didn't stop in 1906 but kept
on plating farms for a couple of years aierward
Finally however We learned that i, was time to see if
We had preserved balance The plating OF lots had
become pastimc which seemed to pay Every one was
hungry for outside lots The supply kept up with the
demand but additions plated too far and for
unatey, Oklahoma City discovered before it late
that there danger OF OVERRIDING the lot business
So the balance wheel swung the right way and Oklahoma
City saved the ruin which caused havoc at Wichita.
Today We find the situation stable. There is demand
for suburban property but principally garden tracts
stead OF city lots We find a growing demand for lot,
along highways and trolley lines but the spirit of specu-
lation which all but caused ruin in this section has
passed and purchases being made for pse and for
speculation.
Inside lots selling well, which indicates healthy
condition reference the advertisements shows tina,
the bulk of the lots offered right now front on railway
lines be designated as inside lots for residence
purposes.
| We did plat too many additions years ago But We
found in time and have built city on stable
and not speculative lines

Juniors and Sophomores Vic
toriious

Tie annual class game between the
Juniors and SophomOres; Seniols and
Freshmen OF Penns Grove High School
was PLAYED Wednesday afternoon on tile
High School Athletic field. The Juniors
and Sophomore won by the score of 80.
Both teams were evenly matched, but
tile Seniors had a much heavier team
thar the Juniors.
The game was started by the Seniors
kicking off. The Juniors soon had the
ball within a yard OF tile goal and one
down to make it i'll, but the Seniors held
like a stone wall and by tile time the
human mound was cleared away the ball
was in tile same place as before. The
Seniors by a number of line plnnges and
then kicking had the ball on their thirty
yard line. During the remainder of the
half tile ball swayed back and forth on
the Seniors thirty yard line.
The second half started by the Seniors
receiving, but the Juniors soon had the
ball and by a forward, Green to Brad
way and Irwin with two mighty plunges
through tackle, brought the ball within
fifteen yards OF the goal. This ended the
third quarter.
The first play of the last quarter was a
kick formation and Green drOpkicked
the ball between the upright. After this
score the Seniors braced and held the
Juniors to kick. As soon as they had
the bail they rushed right in and with
several plunges by Duffy aud Johnson
had gained twenty yards, but all in vain,
for time WAS up and the game ended.
Sore, 80.
Everyone played a good game and
with few fumbles. Irwin played the
most spectacular part for The Juniors
Johnson aud Duffy for the Seniors.

The German Vote

Ii Mr.. Wilson had chosen to be truly
neutral, the usual German D. mocratic
vote would have been cast for him and he
might be elected after all. In fact, his
case would not be absolutely hopeless
even II Maine went against him. 1t
should be remembered that tie majority
IS not so overwhelming that a Hughes
landslide can be considered a certainty.
But with the COMMUNICATIONS
against the President the pivotal States
are now certain to roll up large majorit-
les against him. In short, Maine her
sell IS OF no Importance. The doubtful
States Will do it, and there the German
Americans will show their hands.-New
York Herald.
Ii the German vote will be cast for
Hughes because President Wilson hum
oied the Kaiser in diplomacy, then the
American vote should be cast for Presi-
dent Wilson. Why should the flessians
be allowed to control now any more than
in 1916 at Trenton.
The Penn's Grove record., 1916-10-06
Wilson Not Perfect

1t Is for a like reason the American peo-
pie thank God for Wilson. They are not
so silly as to believe him perfect. They
recognize he has made mistakes, as he
himself recognizes it. But the mistakes
nave not been disastrous ones, And they
are overshadowed by the great monu-
ments OF achievement that have preserved
from woe and desolation the land we love
and the homes we have builded in it. Mr..
Hughes, in his plea for keeping expert
ence1 men III office, is putting upapower-
iul argument for the reelection of Presid-
ent Wilson and a Democratic Congress,
