where they lived until the first week
in June, 1919.
Then we returned to 270 Park Ave

do any work and could stay as long
as l wanted to-"

influence ,of liquor. Mrs. Kelley de-
clared further that Mrs. Frost left
the Park Avenue house May 8, 1919,

swore in an affidavit that she attended
Mrs. Frost both before and after her
marriage and that in December, 1917
and January, 1918, Mrs. Frost had a
nervous breakdown and was greatly ex-
cited by her husbands conduct.
Mrs. Mary H. Earnshaw, of Garden
City, sister Of Mrs. Frost, swore that

1915, in Newark, and separated May 8,
1919, when Mrs. Frost went to Nevada.

cost Of living are six. in my opinion.
The first is the increase in volume OF
money and credits. The second is ths
widespread increase in wages. due, In
part, to wartime necessities and TO
government wage scales. The third Is
the lessened world production, the OUT
come of shorter hours and war labor
employment.
The fourth is the increase in the cost
of distribution as we'll as Of produc-
ton. The fifth is reckless extrava-
gance. in expenditures and a spirit Of
speculation. The last, in my opinion
the least, is profteering."
Professor Muzzey said that retailers
in particular could do much to curb the
tendency to reckless expenditure by
using care and diplomacy and teaching
their customers that price is not neces-
sarily the test of value.

The high cost Of living was also dis
cussed by Howard E. Figg, Assistant
Attorney General. and Professor David
R. Muzzey.
Mr.. Figg said that profiteering was
the least Of the reasons for the present
prices and gave six contributing causes
to the general Initiation. In discussing
profiteering, he said:

Mr.. Halle attributed much Of the

added these cheering words:

Windsor, Ont, Oct 12-The thorough bred championship of the continent rests tonight on the American side of the bor der.
 Man O'War, the greatest three year old of the year, galloped home with tha equine hqnors of 1920 at Wentworth Jockey Club track this afternoon, full eight lengths in front of Sir Barton, the great four year old from Commander J. L. Ross stables. The time was 203 i; more than full second faster than the old Canadian record for the distance. Samuel D.

 The time, 2O3 fiat, was more than a second slower than the record of both horses. Sir Barton has a mark of 2.01 4-5, which later was tied by Man O'War. The slow time was partly due to the fact that the victor was never in danger from | the time he took the lead at the first l sixteenth pole.

sERIE-
 HAS BEEN CALLED OFF

The management and followers of the Ashland Baseball club have been a tar get for much criticism and even ridi- cule, because of an article which ap- peared in the Norwich Bulletin a few days since.
 According to said article which was signed by Mir. Loughran, manager of the Moosup baseball team, the Ashland crowd has cold feet, and have squeal- ed, and are afraid to play, etc, etc.
 In justice to the supporters of our team feel that an explanation to the public is in order.
 We had arranged a series with Moo sup and did play the first game at Moo sup as scheduled. We received the guar antee as agreed upon, and the second game was to have been played at Ash land park for a like guarantee Oct 10. A few days previous to that date the Moosup management notified me that he could not bring his club to Jewett City for the same amount of money which he had given me. and stated that unless the guarantee was increased consider ably. the series was off.
 Figuring that as it is customary to ex- change dates in series of this kind at like guarantee and also figuring that Moosup was no more of an attraction to me than my club was to them, 1 re- fused to increase the amount that had been agreed upon and let the matter drop.
 That Moosup has a strong club can not be denied, but they were lucky tc beat us 2-1 in the game which was played. Moosup probably sees it that way and this money question is evident | ly a stall. and an easy way of calling 1 off the series, the newspaper article be ing a blind to pass the buck to Ash i land
 f Moosup has faculty of organizing in the fall of each season, gathering bunch of all-stars when the picking i | good, and of playing a few .get-rich quick games with teams that have ha' to struggle through the entire season taking the bitter as well as the swee
 in order to make a reputation as ha Ashland. The Moosup crowd will hay to go further than Jewett City to pul | their Ponzi stunt this season.
 Ashland is not afraid to play anyone
 We met all corners and have offered t play all teams in this section with a re
 putation this season. We have not in
 sisted on playing all our games at hom
 as our record shows nearly as man.
