weight from 1884 pounds to weigh out
a roast for the family buyer? AS it
stands AT present the ordinary user of
gas or electricity. who is not an expert
meter reader, must depend absolutely
on the reports OF the company and as
TO what the figure was on the meter
when the customer started use of gas
ut beginning of the month or other
term.
SHOULD the bill which I propose be-
come a State law it would also result
in strict attention being paid by the
company's meter men to every meter.
There would be no chance for guess
work, because the user of gas or water
could check up the amount charged on
his bill with the amount shown on the
meter without BEING a student of high
er mathematics. When a new tenant
or owner moved into a house or store
he or she could be sure that the meter
was not getting a head start of a few
thousand feet or kilowatts through a
careless reading. 1t seems to me that
officials of the companies should favor
such a bill merely in the interests of
peace and goodwill of customers"
The Philade1nhia Record of Wednes-
day has the follpwina editorial in ref
eronce to the matter: "Mr. Nehemiah
Andrews, city clerk of Pleasantville,
N. j., has a good idea. He hopes to
induce the Legislature to pass a bill
upon which he is working. to make the
job of reading gas, electric and water
meters a matter of easy accomplish
ment by any one with an elementary
knowledge of figures. He simply pro-
poses that after each reading by the
company's officials the meter be turned
back to zero. What would customers
think. asks Mr.. Andrews of a butcher
who started with the scales at 23.977
pounds, say, to weigh the family
roast?' There is method in Mr.. An
drews' madness. 1t might not be a
bad idea for some one on this side of
the Delaware to start a similar ball
a-rolling."

Bible, the Living Word of God" THE
Bible, Its Glorious Worldwide
Achievements" 1t is the greatest sell
ing book in the World. An edition of
$1,000 volumes would be- considered a
fairly popular book. Listen, in two
years in Japan. 100000 copies of the
Scriptures were sold. 1t is the One
Book that could be called Universal.
The British and Foreign Bible Society
during the last year of the war pub
lished the Scriptures in thirty-ive
fresh or new languages. Nearly all
these languages were unwritten. They
gave away in 1900 hospitals 71S. 900
copies of the Scriptures. Our own
American Bible Society supplied near
" six and a half million Scriptures
to Soldiers and Sailors in home and
foreign service. This was in twenty
different languages for our boys. Last
year over thirty-ive million copies
were turned out by all the Bible press
es and they cannot meet the demand.
Anyone who thinks at any time must
ask why? To sum up, Why is it left
unread by you? You simply cannot
afford it. Let it speak its own mes
sage into your Soul. Michael McCar-
thy, the great Irish writer, says of the
Bible. Give the Word of God to the
people of any kingdom, rear them upon
its teachings, which are at once prac-
tical and sublime. and you insure for
the people of that kingdom a long pros

FOR THE 6ETTERMENT OF
PLEASANTVILLE.

If we'd gather up our rubbish,
And keep our back yards clean;
I'm sure it would look much better.
And much nicer to be seen.
Replace the dirt and rubbish,
With flowers thar are rare:
To beautify our city,
Not an effort we should spare.
If one and all would do these things,
Our city it would improve;
And people living in other towns.
Into our city would move.
This is only a few of the many things
That all of us can do;
Let's all work together,
I'll do my part, will you?

The following communication has

with the hope that action taken upon
it will be favorable.
~Pleasantville. n. j., Nov. "a, 1919.
Board of Education OF Pleasantville:
We, the undersigned teachers OF

salary is insufficient to meet our needs.
Our expenses are so much greater than
we anticipated when we accepted our
present salaries. AS you know living
expenses have increased for teachers
as well as those in other employments.
The strain in trying to meet the de-
mands made upon us depletes our en-
ergies in the schoolroom. We earnest
ly beg of you to grant us a bonus of
at least 500 with our December check
to meet our present Indebtedness.
