After having partaken of I dinner as usual and apparently in his 1 usual health, he resumed his work at c painting in art upper room where a t abort time after his wife found him t dead upon the- floor. She hastily i summoned two men who were at * work in the lower rooms and also i Drs Lake and Hughes, who pro- ' •ounoed life extinct, and after an ex- j v amination of the body and an autop- j s Sjr, found that death was due to a ! "*■ ruptured blood vessel near the heart r which ailment must have been de- r veloping for about a year. The parents and family have the f sincere sympathy of the communitv, t as Harold was greatly respected. * During the past twelve years, he had f been a faithful and trusted employee ; at fee Cape May round house. i Funeral services at his late" residence, Wednesday afternoon, at 1.30. r Interment at Cold Spring Cemetery, t Funeral Director ' W.

A few of the company are spending their vacation in Cape , May while the remainder are in Philadelphia and -New York.

ECONOMISTS are watching the «tks of mail-order house*. When these sales be gin increasing, they say. it w»U in-i cDcate that the farmer's buying power is being restored. I Unfortunately, that is trne. , It would be a much more desirable sign of general improvement if the upward swing would take place in the sale* of small-town merchants instead of mail-order houses. | After all is said and dooe. an order placed away from home means thai the money will circulale away from home — outside our own community. It is always advisable for each individual of a community to do everything possible to make his community prosperous. Prosperity in Chicago or St. Louis or New York or New Orleans or Atlanta or San Francisco or Seattle — these ara fine and thrilling things to read about. They impart a smi^and smug feeling of security that the country is getting back on its feeL But prosperity in some far-off city, while it eventually may extend to us, is -not felt as immediately as prosperity right here at home. When you buy from a mail-order house, you are contributing to the prosperity of a distant community! When you buy near home, you are contributing to the prosperity of your own commiinity. The little you may savg in ordering by tmfl is piece than counteracted by your share of what the home community loses in the way of prosperity.
