Calls For Investigation.

send his merchandise to any market

upon concert with others to lessen

gles. In the end it curtails the diyi-
dends of capital and in the beginning
1t lessons the employment of labor.
1t is the fruitful source of discomfort;
discomfort is the mother of strikes
and strikes are the bane of industry
1t is notorious that the cost of living
In our country exceeds that of anv
other country. 1t is not a natural
condition, but artificial, manipulated.
For a century living was cheaper in
the United States than in any other
country. That accounted for our
marvellous material development. If
the new condition is to maintain, the
country will retrograde as rapidly as
It progressed. There is something
wrong, and it behooves the elders of

move it, cutting deep if necessary.

every pupil enrolled to be present for

it. Miss Sylvia Goodrum is teacher

is a decided success. They will have
some graduates and contestants in the
next spelling contest.
Hillside school is one Of the small
