During the literary hour a debate
was had, the question being Re
solved: That the High Cost OF
Living To-day is largely the Cost of
High Living"
1t was contended by the affirm
alive that silk shirts at SIS to SIS
each for men; silk stockings at $3.50
to SO for women and girls, we're
only an example of the many items
OF rampant extravaganza INDUCED
by this generation, as contrasted
with the plain common sense garb of
our fathers and mothers.
1t was also cited as a fact that the
palmer living of our ancestors was
accompanied by more contentment.
The negative side argued for a
higher scale of living because OF
better living conditions, necessitating
higher wages, shorter hours and i'll
general more opportunity for cul-
ture and recreation.
The next meeting on Friday, Aug.
22nd, will be an open air meeting
