Stop to Think It Over and
Get Busy y

All storekeepers and creators of merchandise
have had three or four active years in which they
were compelled by scarcities and rising wages to
nay just what the makers of goods demanded.
So it was that everything mounted higher
and higher-and the prices scared!
Now we have come to a stopping place 1t is
possible to- unite with the manufacturers,
commission houses and selling agents to begin
lowering prices, if even only little. The people
at the top have had long turn; now then let the
people at the bottom have at least beginning of
their turn, to get some consideration.
Let the first hands specializing in raw
materials take smaller profits and the high-wage
people speed up their machinery to add to the
output that costs may be reduced, and the
retailers will do their part to reduce expenses
and bring around lower cost of living.
We are getting in some new goods every day
to fill up the places of what we sold last week,
which we turn over at the slightly lowered
figures.

AMBOY FIVE
IN BIC GAME
Play Corona, L. l., Team To-
night. Bay Ridge Coming
to Auditorium on Saturday

Bill Manning's Amboy FIVE court
team will play the Our Lady of Sor-
row basketball team in Corona, Long
Island tonight. Manager Manning
has booked the crack Bay Ridge bas-
ketball outfit to appear here Satur-
day night and judging from the
brand of ball they put up in former
seasons. another big treat is in store
for Amboy court fans on next Satur-
day night.
Although the manager and four of
the regular players on the only rep
resentative Amboy basketball team,
come from out-of-town, the Amboy
five court team deserves a great deal
of credit for the work in games so
far this season. Never before in the
history of basketball in this city has
a representative Amboy team played
the National Turner's, Newark Turn
ers, Original Celtics, Brooklyns and
the season.
Manager Manning deserves a great
deal of credit for his ability to hustle
the class of games he is booking. The
Amboy five appeared on the court
Saturday night with new white jer-
seys, with the word Amboys lettered
in green across the front of same.
The Amboy manager in addition to
playing regular Saturday games in
this city, has booked a big game for
election night in connection with
dancing, and election returns will be
given up till l or . o'clock in the
morning.

RUTGERS PLAYS
TWO BIC GAMES
Meets Cornell at Ithaca Sat-
urday; University of Me-
braska Election Day in NY.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. 26-The
Rutgers football squad will put in a
week of intensive work preparing
for the %stiffest part Of its schedule,
which calls for two big games within
-four days. Next Saturday the Sec
ond of the away-from-home games
will see the Scarlet machine pitted
against the Cornell machine at Ith-
AGA. and on the following Tuesday.
election day, the University of Ne
braska outfit will form the OPPOSE
ton at the Folio Grounds. New York.
The latter struggle will mark the
final appearance of the Scarlet team
in this section of the country. for the
two remaining games of the season,
those with West Virginia and the
University of Detroit, will be staged
OF the opponents gridirons.
Rutgers defeat on Saturday at the
hands OF the University of Virginia
in the final home game of the season
was a credit to the v~ictors, but the
Scarlet-jersied team that faced the
Southerners lacked many familiar
faces. The Lehigh and Virginia
Poly games left the Rutgers team in
a bad physical shape and. although
the injured players were groomed
into such shape that they could have
played on Saturday II necessity de-
manded. the coaches did not wish to
risk having them laid up when the
Cornell and Nebraska elevens are
met. Among those absent from the
lineup on Saturday were Winner,
fast backfeld runner and end; Dais-
ley. the star freshman tackle: John
Scudder and Durham, veteran guard
and center respectively and Duffy,
halfback. Captain Gardner, the line
plunging halfback, and Lentz, the
giant freshman tackle, were not in
jected into the game until the Sec
ond period, when the tide was turn
ing against Rutgers. The injuries
of these men were not aggravated
and the only member Of the Rutgers
squad to be removed from the game
on account of injuries was Maloney,
who. at the time of misfortune, was
carrying the ball.
In the University Of Nebraska tilt
the Rutgers eleven will encounter a
team composed of players who tower
above them, outweigh them, and
are older and more experienced as
Varsity men. Five of the Nebras-
kans are over six feet in height,
and Monte MINI, one Of the guards,
Is six feet five inches. OF the first
eleven members, two men have play
ed three years, six have been on
the varsity team two years, and the
other two members for one year.
