LIVING COST IN SMALL TOWN
About Half What 1t Is in the Cities, According to Writer in Peoples
 Magazine.

"I make the bold statement that a man with a wife and two children, says William D. Pelley in Peoples Magazine, "can come back to small town and live for exactly one-half what it costs him to live in the city, living conditions being equal. It will shock some city men to realize that authuri- tative figures have been compiled prov ing that 90 per cent of the 25,00O,O0O families making up the rank and file of ordinary America are drawing less than $2,OOO year wages. Moreover, they are living upon it decently atgg saving money. If they were not could five great bond issues have been float ed during the late war successfully, or would we have such stupendous sums laid away in the national savings banks? Two thousand year is less than $4OAa week. The secret Is that 1t costs less to live in the country.
 "So my advice to any young man, city reared or no, who Is bound down to the squalor, jazz routine, monotony, asphalt and high prices, is to make the break and get away. Don't be In a hurry. Pick out an ideal country town of say 10000 people within 200 or 300 miles of somef great center and land good job there before throwing up your city place. Then buy cottage if you can-and with a little search they are always available-get your own plot of land and use it to cut down your expenses. Join church, live simply, moderately. comfortably, put some money. every week in the saw ings bank. The opportunity will came sooner than you dream for you to get into some good local business and your circle of friendships will have become such-if you have deported yourself properly-that you will be surprised at the assistance which will come to you. From then on your career will rest solely upon your own abilities and acu- men. You will gain assets of charac- ter by living such life that are worth more than money-eyen much money. And after a while you will pity the poor grubs back in the office who could not get away from the arc lamps and the pavements."

A Boy'S Judoment,

Tere Haute Boy Scouts have very capable drum corps. Recently two new members were recruited from Troop 16. one of the newer troops. After they had had their first re- hearsal with the corps they came back to their own troops to tell about it. says the Indianapolis News. They brought their drums with them and on the other boys insistence gave them drum duet. It certainly was a noisy one if not melodious and the audience was enthusiastic and admir- Ing.
 After it was over and the two little drummers were resting, one of the youngest members of the troop turned to one of the school teachers who was present. "I have a horn," he said, "and I can't play it enough to be in a band. But I do think I could play 1t in a corps for you uon't have to watch the tune there-nothin' but the time"

 The role in which Frank Mayo ap- pears, has three distinct personally lties, and is unusually difficult to portray, but the finished artist that MT. Mayo Is, handles it with the skill and Sdroitness that his most ardent admir- CTS always expect of ilim.
 In addition to "Passers By" Mutt and Jeff will be seen in ''The Parlor Bol- shevist," Larry Semon in '"The Suit or" a new and interesting Fox News and an entire change of vaudeville bill.
