A LOSS TO TWO CITIES In Ocean City the Mayor has been elected to the County Board of Freeholders; in Sea Isle City the Mayor has been elected to the office of

Surrogate.

We do not Vnow whether either of the chief executives plan to resign from their municipal offices, but we do know that neither have as yet done so, and so there is still time to ask them MOT TO. In Ocean City, regardless of the qualifications of Mayor Champion, the term of dm Mayor is up next May, anyhow, and it would be folly for that resort to now be put to the expense and trouble of a special election for such a short time. A new man elected now would only just be “broken in” before another election would be along, and he may be ousted—a distinct economic loss for Ocean City no matter which way you look at it In Sea Isle City the situation is a little difereat; the term does not end for several yean, and the Mayor is charged with the running of the municipal gas plant. Mayor Fitch has made a good Mayor; he has made a success of the ope ration of the gas plant, which under private ownership and management was a rank failure and a constant source of annoyance to both residents and visitor*. Can anyone advance a sound reason, in

view of this, why he should resign!

There is considerable talk of a recall if Mayor Fitch does net quit his Mayorality post; there is also some talk of going bach to oeucflaank form of government Surely no sensible person will take either of them two ran tings of a few disgruntled fault-finders seriously. The thing to cen-

POTATO PRICES

It is announced by the Department of Agriculture that the prod action of potatoes this year in the United States amounts to 4 bushels per capita whereas the normal consumption is only three and one half bushels per capita, leaving a surplus of a half bushel which will destroy the market price for the whole crop. It is the custom of people in cities to buy their potatoes by the peck or even by the quarter peck. They pay a high price to the retailer because they buy in such small quantities. Part of the price goes for service—making the sale, providing a paper bag. and delivering the goods. If people would buy their potatoes by the bushel or barrel and then, because of the lower price, increase their use of the spuds, there would be a gain to both the producer and the. consumer. The retailer could deal on a smaller margin if he sold in larger quantities.

A LITTLE FORGETTIMG If you would increase yonr happiness and prolong your life, forget your neighbor's faults, says the Personality Magazine. Forget all the slander you have ever heard. Forget the temptations. Forget the faultfinding and give a little thought to the cause which provoked it. Forget the peculiarities of your friends'and only remember the good points which make yon fond of them. Forget all personal quarrels or histories you have heard by accident, and which if repeated, would seem a thousand times worse than they are. Blot out as far as possible all the disagreeables of life. They will come, but they will grow larger when you remember them, and the constant thought of acts of meanness or, worse still, malice, will only tend to make you more familiar with them. Obliterate everything disagreeable from yesterday. Start out with a clean sheet for today, and write upon it for sweet memory's sake only those things which are lovely and lovable. APPLES TWO CENTS A BASKET We were informed recently by the literary Digest that a Mew York farmer sent 18 baskets of apples to market, having first paid SI.88 for the baskets in which the fruit was transported. He received from the dealer a check for 36 cents in payment for the apples and baskets. Manifestly, the lamer would have been 1152 better eff ia actual cash if he had dumped the apples in the nearest river and would have been many more dollars better off if he uad not picked the appies at all. Yet, if he had destroyed the fruit he would have been coadminad by the representatives of certain labor organizations who insist that it is the duty of the government to require the payment of a “living wage” to their members. Where does the apple grower get off in the "living wage” deal

THE LAMB OF CONTRASTS There is no place in Europe mere healthful as a winter retort than our own Mew Jersey and our Southern border states. There is no place in Europe taat offer* more thrilling scenic attractions than our own mountain regions. There is no place in the world where an outing can be more enjoyable than in the forests and on the lakes of Mew England. The pleasure seeker—the health seeker - the recreation seeker, can all find suitable placet at horn. 1 to spend their time and money. See America first. A CUT of about $890,000,000 is expected in the national revenue lor next year, but President Harding is determined that the appropriations «h«il be framed so as to u>me within the probable receipts. The total Treasury income for next year is placed at $3,1M,0OO.OOO. and the budget bureau is now devoting its efforts to bringing the estimated Federal expenditures within that sum. According to cable dispatches, there was great rejoicing in Europe ever the increased number of Democrats elected to Congress Ora Dew ocratic friends are welcome to all the joy they can get oat of that. j

Anns were represented at the meeting of members of the Ocean City Real Estate held last Friday algal, and at which also twenty-six real-
