Campaign TO Cut High
Cost of Living
CITY is CENTER
OF TRUCK TRADE

CHESTER, Pa. Aug. i.-Having in
view a scheme TO reduce the cost Of
living TO people OF Chester and ;he
immediate vicinity, a group Of weh-
tO-dO local business men have plans
started 10 establish a modern market
house In this city. George D. Arm
strong, secretary Of the Village Green
Grange, is heading the movement, and
Mr.. Armstrong declares the people
will be astOnished when they realize
how high prices for fOOdstuffs can
be hammered down with a modern
local markt house from which 10 re-
tail goods.
The fact that Chester is surrounded
by rich farming and trucking terri
tory and that many boatlOads Of truck
are shipped here from New jersey
truck patches, makes the plan appear
as very feasible 10 those who are
fathering the market house project.
For a number Of years Chester had
a well-patronized market house, but
when the city decided TO build a new
city hall five or six years ago. the
building from which foodstuffs had
been retaled for a score OF years or
more was purchased for a police sta
tion. Since then the need for another
market has been keenly felt, especially
since the prOnteering game ha'
rachcd the stage that 10 has.

SHUTS OUT
SHERBRO0KE

Fairbanks A. A. added another vic.
tory to their fast growing list wher
| they defeated the fast Sherbrookt
team by the score of to 0 on the
Campus Monday afternoon before 6
! large crowd of loyal rooters.
Witty was on the mound for the
locals and he was the master of the
game all of the way, allowino the
visitors only two hits, one in the first
and the other in the ninth. The first
was one gathered in by Jiboin when
he kissed on the nose for clean two
Dagger, but owing to the slow return
ing of the ball he stretched it into a
threebase hit. This happened after
two had been retired, and Witty pro-
ceeded to get the next man on strikes.
In the ninth, after two had been put
away Thormalen connected for a
double, but died on second when Con-
nor threw out Vaughn, the next man
up, at first, ending the game there.
st. Johnsbury scored their first run
in the first when Conner got on with
hit, after being given life, when
the visitors catcher fell down in 60
ing after a foul ball. He moved to
second on Hoernle's hit, and both
runners advanced a base on a double
steal, placing Conner in position to
score on Swans hit. In the meantime
Gormely had struck out, and Thor
malen disposed of Sullivan and
Lynch in the same way.
In the fifth inning they added an
other to their lone tally, when
Hoernle got on with a hit and man
aged to get around on loose fielding
by the visitors infeld.
In the ninth inning they added the
three others, when the visitors all
went to pieces. Hoernle AGAIN start
ed the rally and before the inning was
over Hoernle, Gormely and Swan
had crossed the plate.
Thormalen pitching for the visitors
was a left handler, and he bothered
the locals at many stages OF the game
and played a steady enough game IN
the field, although in the eighth in
ming he helped things along by heav-
ing the ball into center field.
The management would do well to
have someone suitably authorized to
keep the people and automobiles off
the playing field. so that the game
would not have to be delayed while
some of the players have to see to
this, as was the case in yesterday 5
game.
This Sherbrooke team is practical
" the same line up that beat New
port two games this season, Tholma-
len letting the Newport team down
with two hits in one of these games.
The crowd was a large one, dem
onstrating that St. Johnsbury IS
willing to patronize good baseball.

Washington, Aug. 3.-(United

in the cost OF living following the
raise In railroad rates will be due
to deliberate profiteering and not q
legitimate consequence Of the rate

tions, declared here today.
Lauck asserted that the public
need not fear that food and cloth
ing will 60 up in price unless the
freight rate increases are multi
piled by four or five when passed
on to the consumer.
"The great industries Of this
country" said Lauck. could well
afford to deduct from the price of
their products this freight rate in
crease. Including all Of the trans
portation costs entering into whole
sale meat prices, the maximum .ef-
feet of the advance would be less
than cent pound.

Philadelphia would be about 33
