SHE'S REALLY GOOD
GOTHAM NEWSPAPERS GIVE
STATISTICS TO PROVE IT. NOT
SUNKEN IN FRIVOLITY.
It's all wrong about New York. It
is not sunken in frivolity, extrava
gance and cynical self-indulgence.
New York is better than most towns.
Statistics prove it. New York news
papers, especially the Herald, con
firm these statistics,
The statistical division of the
United States labor bureau has just
issued a statement covering the rela
tive virtue of the several American
municipalities. The figures deal with
family expenditures in every section
of the country. Studying this cheer
ing report, the Herald remarks that
New York is marked by “a high aver
age of moderation, temperance, or
derly conduct and freedom from the
evil behavior which is supposed to be
essential to the great urban center
of the world.” And read this: “New
York always has been a sober town,
and is now a sober town.”
Specifically, the average New York
family spent only $14.06 for liquor
last year, as against Chicago, where
the average was $17.01, ‘'and Philadel
phia where it was $16.36. On the
other hand New Yorkers contributed
to churches an average of $10.21 per
family, to charity $1.15 and patriotic
purposes $6.01.
«Furthermore,” says the Herald,
“instead of spending most of the
time, particularly after dark, rushing
from road house to road house the
average family paid only onthe aver
age of $1.12 for automobiles as
acainst $68.62 expended in Bisbee,
Arizona, $49.82 in Dover, N. J., and
$40.98 in Houston, Texas.” Conclud
ing the Herald remarks:
“In the old unregenerate days it
used to be said that New York would
have been a sober town had it not
been for the bibulous from prohibi
tion states who filled the hotels and
blocked the bars. And a similar res
ervation might have been made in
many other directions.
«“So let us lift up our heads and
our hearts! New York, in spite of the
attention paid elsewhere to every
breach of the law within its borders,
is safe for all those who are not look
ing for trouble. It is hospitable even
to those who sneer at its politics, its
government, its fine police force, its
social customs and its amusements.
Even those who have not a good wurd
to say for it as the metropolis of the
continent are the first to establish a
residence here as soon as they have
the money.
«“New York is all right and will be
happy yet.”
DANCES KILL MODESTY,
DOCTOR TELLS Y. W. C. A.
Modern Steps Jaken From African
Sex Dances; She Says.
NEWARK, N. J.—“ Dances of to
day are the East African sex dances,
the dances of cannibals that tend to
kill all modesty in girls,”” Dr. Mar
oaret Sullivan of Jersey City told a
gathering of prominent women at the
Y. W.C A
She said: “The girls of today do up
their faces like circus clowns.
“You cannot expect your little girl
in her teens,” she warned, ‘“to go out
to an evening party clad as the young
oirl of today is too often clad and
throw her into the arms of a dancing
partner and expect her to come back
the same girl. You have deprived her

Present Level for Better Grades Has
Been Exceeded But Once in the
Market’s History.
KANSAS ClTY.—Sales of the bet
ter grades of dark hard and hard win
ter wheat on the Kansas City market
are being made above $3 a bushel,
which, with the exception of sales at
$3.42 in May, of 1917, is the highest
figure in the history of the trade
here. The market displays unusual
‘strength, resulting from heavy buy
ing by millers of the spring wheat
}territory of the northwest, also by the
east, the far southwest and surround
ing territory.
' The extreme “bulls” in the trade
now are talking of the probability of
a $4 market for wheat in Kansas
City before another crop of the
bread grain begins moving to mark
et. It is significant that not a few
}members of the grain and milling in
‘dustry hold to the belief that the
market will reach $4 a bushel in
Kansas City with less difficulty or less
opposition than has <been witnessed
)in the rise to the $3 level.
CITY FATHERS LOOSEN
THE LID IN RICHLAND
Drug Stores May Sell During Certain
Hours on Sunday.
In order to please the most fastid
jous and give the lids of the city a
little loosening and oiling the city
fathers at a recent meeting passed a
new ordinance repealing all previous
ordinances regarding the Sunday
open door laws and made the new
one to read that all drug stores must
be closed on Sundays from 10 a. m.
until 2 p. m. and after 6 p. m., thus
allowing them to stand open a few
hours in the morning and afternoons.
This law will no doubt meet the ap
proval of quite a number of our peo
ple who may like to drop in at the
drug stores during the morning and
afternoon hours for their usual
“mornin’s mornin” and evening’s
dope.—Richland News.

SAW “STARS” FALL
AN INTERESTING SKETCH OF
THE OLDEST RESIDENT
OF AMERICUS.
AMERICUS, Ga.—The oldest in
habitant of Americus enrolled by the
census takers is Mrs. Susan Pee
Speer, who celebrated her 90th birth
day today. Mrs. Speer, known univer
sally as “Grandma Speer,” moved to
Americus from Ellaville in 1861, and
with the exception of seven years
has resided here continuously since
that time. She is still possessed of all
her faculties, and mentally very
bright, being able to recall vividly
many interesting events which oc-
curred during the early days of
Americus.
When the “stars fell”” Mrs. Speer
was just three years of age, and she
said yesterday that if she regretted
anything in this life it was her in
ability to remember clearly that un
usual natural phenomenon. She comes
of a long-lived family, her grandfath
er having lived to be 96, and Capt.
John Beatty, a cousin, 93. John Peel,'
her father, was 77 years when he
died at Preston, although her mother{
passed away when only 30. Mrs. |
Speer has been a member of the
Methodist church since she was 14
years of age, having been converted
at a revival meeting held at the Old
Mount Mariah Camp Grounds in Jef
ferson county in 1844,
She has been twice married, her
first husband, Moses Tyson, dying in
1863. After twenty years of widow
hood, she. married Amos Speer, of
Americus, who died ten years ago.
‘Her only child is Mrs. Martha Tyson
Lane, wife of William W. H. Lane,
who resides at Sidney, New South
'Wales, Australia. Mrs. Speer was
‘matron of Andrew college at Cuth
bert for seven years, going there
from Americus in 1873. Her daugh
ter last visited Mrs. Speer here in
1880.
Three Children of Michigan Work
man Die of Measles as Infant Is
Born in Another Room.
PONTIAC, Mich.—Grim death and
the stork visited the home of Edward
Berry, an automobile worker, on the
outskirts of Pontiac, three of his chil
dren dying as a tiny brother came in-
Ito the world. Measles attacked three
|of his four children, Esther, aged 3;
Irene Florence, eighteen months, and
Ernest, six years.
Ernest was the first to pass away.
|From the bedroom the physicians
walked to a little white bed where
lay a girl of three. The doctor felt the
pulse; it was still. The physician turn
ed to the broken-hearted father.
| “Two are gone; the boy and the
| girl,” said the physician. “Let us look
at the baby.”
Together father and physician
'made their way to still another room.
'Here lay the baby of eighteen
imonths. Again the doctor took the
ipulse. Death had preceded them.
] While the two men stood silently
'beside the bed there came a call of a
| woman—Mrs. Berry. The doctor hur
iried to a room off the kitchen. When
he came out he announced: “It's a
!bo_xl*l; both mother and baby are doing
well.”
