FREE GOODS— LESS REVENUE. Imports to the value of $38,657,733 entered the thirteen prindpal customs districts of the United States for the week ending December 11, 1915. On these imports the Government realised a measly revenue of $4,039,706, or an* average duty rate of 10.5 per cent, compared with an average duty rate under the Republican law of between 19 • and 22 per cent. About 70" per cent, of r our imports are now coming in free of duty, which, according to the Demot cratic theory, should decrease the cost , of living. Nevertheless, the 'index num1 bers recently compiled by Bradstreet, > show a steady rise in the cost of living, 1 proof that the tariff has nothing to do . with the matter. Our imports today i, have reached in volume the Democratic ', low duty normal, and the treasury defe icit has reached charasteristic Demog Aatic proportions. The only beneflciart ies of the Democratic tariff law have

, 'beea the importers who bring in ortij dee free of duty to compete with domes- » . !tic production in the American market. I If the Republican duty rates were in f force there would be no necessity for s t the war revenue measure. Yet in addition to that extemon, the order has t I gonfe forth to raise still more revenue t t by* means of direct tare*. VOCATIONAL SCHOOL.

"Prun- . ing of Grapes" is the topia for the gen- i r eral period in the mornjugs of next c } week .continuing from the beginning e made on Thursday of this week, the ' Thursday evening classed are for gen- e b eral and special wonc, and the note f books of the students show apprecia- t tion and progress. - . 1 t BAD COOKING A PROMINENT I 6 CAUSE FOR DIVORSE In the current issue of Farm and f g Fireside 1b an article to prove that love t and a well filled stomach go trail U>- r g y> ther, but that hatred and trem-'hciy g are born iff an underdone steal;. "Bad t cooking is directly , responsible for a £ large percentage of the divorce evil and 1 much of the crime committed — in fact, it might well be clashed as a crime in t itself. t j "A good cook is the greatest statesman in the country in the true sense of C e the term. 1 II "Bank -examining is all well enough ^ for its purposes, but the examination of 1 K cooks and kitchens is far more impor- ] I tant. Of what avail are our pure-food 1 ' laws if all food may be ruined in the j kitchen T i I "No one should be permitted to cook 1 in any public eating house who has not been examined, found competent, and j ^ licensed; and bad cooking such as now 1 exists in many public places— should be a misdemeanor punishable by law." <

' REFLECTION OF A BACHELOR GIRL By Helen Rowland ' Just now a bachelor facing a pretty girl under the mistletoe and a hen standing in front of a speeding automo- j bile have about equal chances of escape ' ir this world. Nearly 1916! Oh, well, maybe Father \ Time wouldn't be able to fly to quickly if Mother Time hadnt laid out his clothes, put the studs in his shirt, found hi» gloves, polished hir aevthe and brushed his hat for him before he started. And, even after that, no doubt he scolded her for "keeping him waiting." while she powered her nose! A man's interest in a woman before the kiss and his apathy afterward may perhaps be explained in the same way as a small boy's desire for candy before Christmas and hi* indifference to it on the morning after. Lots of times a woman looks at her husband and thinks regretfully of how much she might be in love with him if she weren't married to him. The firmest resolve which the girl who did not get engaged this year will set down her New Year's list is that the mistletoe shall be hung where it will do more good next year. A wife's ability to remodel her busband is limited; she may be able to I supply him— with fcfcal* nd ambitions, I

live up to them. The cook may drees J and flavos the bird, but she cant make a turkey out of a guinea hen. I The only way to make a bachelor be- ^ that be is ever going to many is ( to lead him- right up to the altar and prove it to hijn. The most interesting moment of con- , versa tion Is that first long, thrilling si- i when you look into one another's * eyes and can think of nothing to say. j STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING The annual stockholders meeting of < the Cape May Building and Loan As- ' sociation will be held in their rooms, r Washington Street, on Monday evening, January 17th, 1916, at 7X0 p. 1 at which time the Auditors will re- ' port the valuation of the Stock in the Series and the financial stand- E ing of the Association.
