Today John A. Stewart will
get into his automobile at Nor
ristown and at IL in the morn
ing get out at his office, IS Wall
street, New York City. There
he will do his work as chairman
Of the board of trustees of the
United States Trust Company,
thus celebrating his ninety-ninth
birthday. beginning his one hun
dredth year.
That is unusual now; it would
be a matter of course in another
century. Mans minimum work
ing life should be 144 years, twelve
times as long as the number Of
years preceding the reproductive
age. Those unusually careful
will live to two hundred. Who
ever chooses, if no vital part Of
his machinery is damaged beyond
hope, can live on to ninety or
longer, even after a bad start.
1t depends on the "Not too
much and not too little." espe-
cially not too much. Mr.. Stew
art has been with that same
banking institution for more than
seventy years. and banking. with
panics. is an anxious business.
Observe also what the automo-
bile does to make life longer and
more useful. Without it a man of
ninety-nine would hardly UNDER
take regular trips to business.
There are some races not in
cluded in usual reports. A Ger
man has proven that a honey
bee can outfly a carrier pigeon
for a distance of three miles.
One Of twelve beat the fastest Of
twelve pigeons by fifteen sec
onds. In longer race, the
pigeon. Of course. would win.
That race should concentrate the
attention of mechanical engineers
on excessively high-priced ma
chinery. The honey bees wings
move with very high speed, COM
pensating for their smallness.
Judge Gary cuts steel prices
once more. He is conservative;
says he cuts only when smaller
independent" companies cut. He
hesitates to cut below cost of
production to little companies.
WHY? Is there any reason
for carrying along small Grip
pies? Take over or close up
their plants, and cut as deep as
you can, Judge Gary. Don't be
afraid of growing too big. The
time has gone for worrying
about seeming to be a mon
opoly," or wiping out incompe-
tents. The people want big
units, knowing that only great
production can give low prices.
If the public has brains, it
will regulate profits. If not.
1t should be "profiteered" for
its education.
A lot Of little war bride steel
concerns are kept alive only by
artificial respiration. They must
die sometime; why not now?
The Dublin Weekly Freeman r
says Caruso's mother was Irish,
born in Sligo, her maiden name
was Jessie Donoghue. Her sister,
Annie, married a sea captain
named Lawrence O'Rourke. And
in Scotland, Caruso had himself
photographed with Joseph
O'Rourke, the captains son. The
McDermotts are related to
Caruso, through the Donoghues,

plus of farm products1 We make
the suggestion that the merchants
and farmers have a trade and ex-
change day once or twice a month.
On these days the farmers could
bring in their produce from the farms
and exchange with one another or
with the city man.
Say farmer Jones has a surplus OF
peanuts, sweet potatoes. He could
exchange with farmer Smith for
can Of syrup or pigs, or maize or
corn. This Is an old time custom
that the farmers used before rail-
roads were built. The farmers wives
could exchange poultry or butter for
other things in the city. Could there
be a building rented near the square
where il would be convenient for
everyone TO look over the list, or
see the produce that was for er-
change or sale, one man should be
prompted to keep list and show to
customers or buyers. By
this plan the farmers help themselves.
There ought TO be some plan worked
out to help both, farmer and merch-
ant. II is very discouraging for a
farmer to haul load to town, then
after driving the streets all day have
TO carry IL back home at the end OF
the day. Most city housewives would
prefer to buy fresh from the farm,
such as fresh eggs, but

make an exchange Of farm and gar

would be obtained than ordering seed
