THE COST OF LIVING
is COMING DOWN
Armour Says Food Prices Have
Reached Climax

Charles w. Armour, head ol
the Armour interests, said to
day that food prices had reach
ed their climax and are now or
the down grade.
General food prices are work
ing toward a lower basis" he
said "The cereals are getting
down. People are going to take
advantage of lower prices and
that will have tendency to re-
lieve the stringency in meat
prices, especially pork. "
Just how soon the>lower prices
are to come Mr.. Armour said he
did not know.
"But we welcome the time, "
he said, "for no dealer likes to
sell stuff at such high prices as
pork has been bringing for
several weeks. But when the
packer has to pay 8, 9, 10 and II
cents for live hogs what has he
to say about prices?"
Mr.. Armour said if the farmers
would raise better hogs the pork
problem in this country soon
would be solved. Suppose, he
argued, that two pounds extra
weight were put on every hog
sent to the markets. The aggre-
gate increase in weight would be
enormous. "If the farmers
we're to work harder tor healthy
hogs, how much less pork would
be condemned by the United
States Inspectors, he said.-To-

Ready For Business

The real estate firm of Full.
lington & Marrs, composed OF
c. P. Fullington and C. A. Marrs
has been dissolved and a new
firm which will be known as
Marrs & Day, with C. A. Marrs
and George W. Day as mem bers

Mr.. Marrs is so we'll known to
the people of Meade and the
southwest, and has been so
closely identified with the growth
of the town and the country, that
we can say but little OF him that
is not already history. He is a
booster, a believer in the country
and as business man has es-
tablished an enviable record for
square and honest dealing.
Mr.. Day has,only been in the
country few months, having
come here from Western Indi-
ana. He is a pleasant gentle
man to meet. has all the char
acteristics of a thorough busi-
ness man, and having decided on
making his home here can have
no hesitancy in asking others to
follow his example.
The new firm will do general

There was some excitement al
the Liberol polls the early hours
OF Wednesday morning, when
the board was busily engaged in
counting the bollots, committee
OF citizens appeared and asked
an audience of the judges, repre-
sentlng that the com mittee and
others had suspicious regarding
the ballots that the board had
thrown out as mutilated, wrongly
marked, or void. 1t was intimat-
ed that someone was doing the
work while the board was taking.
the ballots from the boxes; that
an outsider was using pencil.
The board kindly returned to
the ballots and looked over them
again; showed the committee and
others why they were thrown
out. No arrests we're made and

Summer is past, the harvest is

Summer is past, the harvest is
ended, and long evenings are
again in evidence, with increas-
ing darkness from day to day
for many weeks to come, This
brings more leisure. which in
turn means more time for medi-
tation, for mental activity, for in
structive and edifying hours
around the reading table as the
evening lights are struck. The
local paper-that household
necessity in the lives of every
well regulated family-which
has been in measure neglected
because of pressing duties of
busy summer days, can now
command our attention to it's
we'll filled and interesting pages.
Its visits have been regular and
the editor each week has prepar-
ed for us literary feast, but we
have not partaken and digested
according to our wish because of
reasons before set forth. Now,
however, there is no occasion to
hurry. The days are not overly
crowded with pressing duties,
the shadows of night are length
ening with each recurring sun
set, and so we will leisurely look
over the pages of the local paper
and try to regain what has been
lost or neglected by the hum
drum of active summer life

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
The High Cost of Living

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 To my mind the answer to this much discussed problem seems very. plain and simple.
 It is a well-known fact that for num- Der of years there has been a general ex- odus of young men from the rural dls- tricts to the cities and towns. These were young men, as a rule, above the average in mental capacity and force of charae- ter men that got the best results from their efforts in agriculture, hence there has been a corresponding decrease in az rieuiturai products of every character.
 With the supply diminishing and the Consumption increasing there has been the inevitable result of higher prices. and as farm products went higher and higher the laboring man and mechanic and industrial workers of every class were compelled to get higher prices for their labor to feed their families. This increase in the cost of labor necessarily manufactured products.
 The increased cost then of both agricul- tural and manufactured products fully ex- plains the fundamental reasons for the increased cost of living, which has been suppleInented and exaggerated to large extent by our own extravaganza or fast growing tastes for luxuries and high liy- ing.
 It seems very apparent to my mind that President Ford of the Chamber of Com raerre has struck the keynote in solving this lroblem in recommending commis- sion for the development of the agricul- tural lands of the Birmingham district, whieh are now lying idle. while the min eraI resources are being developed
 If the mineral and coal companies own ing these lands will either sell or lease the surface rights for period of years for agricultural purposes as suggested by him and utilize their slas piles for ma king gooo roads to bring the producer to market. 1t will go a long way toward auez1atins the situation in this district

WHY SALVES FAIL
 TO CURE ECZEMA

Since the old-fashioned theory Of curing eczema through the blood has been given up by scientists, many dli- ferent salves have been tried for skin diseases But 1t has been found that these salves only clog the pores ana cannot penetrate to the inner skin pe- low the epidermis where the eczema germs are lodged.
 This-the quality of penetrating probably explains the tremendous sue cess of the only standard liquid eczema cure, oil of wintergreen' thymoI' glycerine, etc. as compounded in D. D. D. Prescription.
 After ten years of cure after cure we ourselves do not hesitate to recom- mend D. D. D. Prescription at s1 bot tie. But for the benefit of those who have never tried the prescription, we arranged with the D. D. D. Laboratories of Chicago for a special large 4rial bot tie at 26 cents on special oher now. This first 25 cent bottle ought to con vince every sufferer; perhaps It VIII effect a complete cure (as 1t has m some cases) at any rate, 1t will surely take away the itch at once.
