Show Back, Then, to the Farm. Richard Croker, during his visit to New York laBt month, discussed with a reporter the high cost of living. "The farmers are all right,"' said Mr. Croker. "It Is the people who Insist In-sist on living In the towns who find everything too dear. In the towns, you see, the expenses are as bothersome bother-some as the children. "A little boy in a tiny flat looked up from his drum one day and said: " 'Mother, Adam and Eve lived In, Paradise. What was It like there?" " 'Like what it Is here,' his mother answered, 'when you eight children are all at school.' " |
