politics has no place in the Metu-
chen Chamber of Commerce but it
is the avowed intention of the men,
bers of the organization to support
the most efficient men put up o
public office in the borough this
year
This course will be followed for
the civic benefit of the community

While neither polieial party has
come forward n named a ticket
for mayor and two councilmen, the
only offices to be filled, the members
of the chamber r patiently wait
ing to see what effort is to be made
in naming men for public office who
will be efficient in the towns man
agement.
Without regard to political afilia-
tons the solid backing of this or
g%anization is promised to the party
which puts up candidates who be-
lieye in Metuchen and are willing
to work for its growth and i'm
Droyement.

CURRENCY IN RUHR

DUESSELDORF, Aug. "a: (By The
Associated Press)-Traders in the
Ruhr have now learned to hew to
the line of the gold basis, let the
marks fall where they may. Al
though the prices of commodities
are still given in marks, all trans
actions, whether in newspapers or
automobiles, are figured mentally in
dollars, pounds or fancs.
Until recently the foreigner with
crisp dollar bills in his pocket, could
find zeal bargains, but this is no
longer possible. Every little shop
now receives three or four times a
day, the official quotations on the
mark in Berlin, London and New
York. Prices are adjusted eaca time
a new quotation arrives. Furthermore
a liberia margin is tackled on in an
ticipation of a further drop before
the stores close for the day.
Loudest voiced bird in the world
is the bell bird, it is believed, and it
is found in South America and At
RIGA.
