Stephen Fosters Songs Have Stood the
 Test of Years.

But one American writer Of popu- lar songs who made a business of writ ing songs for living has ever suc- ceeded in striking chord that con- tinuas to vibrate irrespective of the passing years." says the Taylor-Trot- wood magazine. That writer was Stephen Collins Foster.
 He has been in his grave for more than forty-five years. but old Black Joe old Uncle Ned and the old Folks at Home appear to be immort- al. These, like My Old Kentucky Home Hard Times Gqpe Again No More We Are Coming. Father Abr raham,' and at least a score ef-ethers by the same author have become true folk songs-a part of the thought, sen timent and life of the people.
 Poster was born near 'Pittsburg July 4. 1926. and made his first attempt at composition thirteen years later. When he was only Is he. published the: song Open Thy Lattice,s Love- Returning to Pittsburg after few years in Cin- cinnati he fell in with musical club and one night sang song of his own omposition-'Louisana Belle'-for the entertainment of the club members. Its success in the clubroom was so great that the author next produced some of the songs he had composed while in Cincinnati among them being Uncle Ned and o Susanna
 These were communicated by word of mouth throughout the city and be- came general favorites. Encouraged by the measure of local success, he pub lished Uncle Ned in 1S47, but received nothing for it o Susanna was pub lished soon afterward. and for it the author was paid S100 The check re- ceived for 'Oa Susanna caused him to. embark upon the rather precarious vo- cation of song writer, and for time his productions were turned out with rapidity. meeting with sale that at that period was un- paralleled. Of the old Folks at Home S0O,OOO copies were sold. from which the author received s15,000 in com missions.
 Many think that this was the most popular song that has ever been written, and it is just as popular today as it was before it lost its novelty Many of the songs were translated in to all the languages of Europe and some of those of Asia and Africa. - ''The last three years of his fife were spent in New York, where he died in 1864. old Folks at Home was sung as his coffin was lowered into the grave"

GOING UP!

EVERYTHING IS GOING UP. so it seems. Airships are all the rage now, everything is up in the air, even prices; but if you don't care about AVIATION, call on us and see our stock and compare our prices with others. You can see our stock GOING DOWN. We are selling goods so fast we can hardly get the time to have them delivered. People love to watch AEROPLANES GO UP, BUT they want to see PRICES GO DOWN, and prices on furnishings for the home have taken such a drop that as one man said. Its like jumping from an AEROPLANE INTO A SUBMARINE boat to walk from some other store into MASSIES and compare prices"

THE HIGH COST OF LIVING.

A majority report from the United
States senate committee appointed
early in the year to investigate the
causes of the high cost of living was
published last week Among the
causes contributing to high prices the
following are made prominent:
Increased cost of production of farm
products by reason of higher land
values and higher wages.
Increased demand for farm products
and food
Shifting the population from food
producing to food consuming occupa-
tons and localities.
immigration to food consuming To-
calities.
Reduced fertility of land, resulting
in lower average production or in in
creased expenditure for fertilization.
Increased banking facilities in agri-
cultural localities, which enable farm
ers to hold their crops and market to
the best advantage.
Reduced supply convenient to trans
portation facilities of such commodi-
ties as timber.
Cold storage plants, increased cost
of distribution, industrial combinations,
organization of producers or of deal
ers, advertising, increased money sup
| ply, Observation-Disclosures and higher
standard of living.
The committee found that wholesale
prices OF the principa! commodities of
the United States in March, 1910, were
Pill per cent above wholesale prices
for the same commodities in March,
I 1900. OF forty-eight articles of food
thirty-five showed increases in this
period. The advance in farm products,
4 according to the report, was twice as
great as the advance In other food
j Wages of farm bands have increased
! about so per cent on an average, and
the original investment necessary to
secure land has practically doubled in
4 that period. In many localities the
/ crop average can be maintained only
by the use of expensive fertilizers, BY
rotation of crops or by allowing the
ground to lie fallow. The report saws
that the tariff has been no materia
factor in causing advance in prices il
the past decade. The great advance,
have been made in commodities upor
which the tariff has little or no effect
Labor unionsare not considered to BIZ
