EXCELLENT MfUSICAL SELECTIONS GIVEN AT LAMES' NIGHT SOCUL
The ladles' night poclal at the Rock¬ vUle Centre Baptist church under the auspices of the Men's League, was an evening of real enjoyment to all those present
The program of the evening consist¬ ed of numbers by Mrs. Richard Powell, soloist, of Lynbrook, with Mrs. Wal¬ ter, Hood at the piano. Mrs. Powell is very well known to the people of Rock ville Centre and vicinity and her sev¬ eral solos were greatly appreciated.

Tho Men's League Quintette sang several parodies on old familiar songs, hitting different members of the League. This part of the program called for many encores.
The Quintette composed of Mr. Har-
t^fho axe the Gas Barons?
They are the merchants, householders, teachers, clergymen. Stenographers, lawyers, doctors, dentists, mechanics, policemen, widows^ orphans.—peo^e in all walks of li<5fc—who have a part or aH (^ their savings invested in gas companies.
This great body of citizens is the backbone of the gas in* dustry—an industry ottfi hundred per cent American—which asks for the right to conduct its business on a ptoRtable basis so as to maintain a reasonably satisfactory service and pay Its investors a fair return dh their money.
Among these investors are Life Insurance Companiea and Savings-Banks. Every individual who has a Life Insurance Policy ora Savings Bank deposit, is.therefore, vitally interested in having these institutions obtain a profit on their gad company investments.
In the truest sense of the word the gas industry belongs to the American people because it is owned by the American people and the profits (if there are any) are shared by the American people.
The next time you read or hear about "gas barons" you Will know who they are.
