COST OF LIVING
GREATER THAN EVER
The cost of living is higher than ev-
er before in the United States as far
as government statistics show and is
increasing each year. In 1914 the
year’s cost of filling the market bask:
et of the average workman's family
was $6.68 or 2 per cent higher than
it was in 1913 and $60.43 or 24.5 per
cent higher than it was in 1907 calcu-
lating on relative price figures announ-
ced a few days ago by the Federal
Bureau of Labor Statistics as a result
of its most recent investigation of re-
tail prices. These figures represent
prices of fifteen articles aggregating
approximatly two-thirds off the expen-
diture for food by the average work-
ingman’s family. The cost of these ar-
ticles in 1913 was $333.90 making the
1914 cost $340.58 while in 1907 it was
$280.15. Calculating these amounts as
two-thirds of the workingman’s fam-
ily food expenditure, the total spent
for food in these years would be:
In 1913, $500.85; 1914, $510.87 and in
1907, $410.20. The bureau’s investiga-
tion covered prices in 44 important
industrial cities representing 33 of
the states of the Union.
At a regular meeting of the Stoyes-
town lodge No. 372, I. O. O. F. held on
Tuesday evening it was decided to be-
gin on the lot recently purchased by
the order from the David Zimmer-
man estate, a lodge buiding. The fol-
lowing members were appointed on
the building committee: C. H. Shock-
ey, George Lohr, H. X. Mostoller, Geo.
Hunt, Geo. Kimmel, Nathaniel Horner
and Dr. W. H. Schrock.

A hotel keeper in Johnstown who
asked permission to remove his place
' of business to another location be-
cause a church next door to him ob-
jects to his business, was directed by
Judge O’Connor to stay where he is.

built and if the church people were
willing to build there knowing the con-
