HIGH COST OF LIVING.

From the fact that 1t Is one of the big problems before the people at the present time, the high cost of living receives treatment from many men of prominence in the affairs of gov ernment and education. Dean Frank W. Blackmar of the University of Kansas, in addressing the Kansas ag- ricultural and industrial congress, gives these seven ways of making a reduction therein:
 Let the government check the de- cline in the purchasing power of gold by. taking, automatically, seigniorage of the bullion that is behind the dol lar, thus leaving the value of the dol lar stable, and allowing the weight to rise or fall in correspondence with the rise and fall of average prices.
 Induce, if possible, more people to engage in the production of raw ma terial.
 Introduce scientific, intensive ag- riculture, in order to double the pro- duction per acre.
 Revise the tariff by a scientific treatment which will eliminate pres ent evils.
 Prevent as far as possible organ izations from advancing prices arbi- trarily. Place a maximum limit to prices, if necessary.
 Introduce simple and less expen- sive methods of bringing the commod- ity to the consumer.
 Finally educate people in the prin- ciples and habit of true economy, thus doing away with extravaganza and waste.''
 Such advice is easier offered than put into effect, though the accomplish ment of it would doubtless go a long way in bettering conditions. Educa- tion of the people in the habit and principles of economy and doing away with waste and extravaganza is one which will have as great an effect as any, if it can be accomplished.

THE COAL SITUATION.

Many explanations are given as to the cause of the coal shortage and the present price charged for the commod- aty, The explanations diffd1 with the result that there is confusion in the minds of the consumers as to just what the trouble is. The heads of the coal-producing companies maintain that there is ne shortage and that coal Is not being sold at any advance on their circular prices of $5,50. Dealers declare that it is inn- possible to buy coal of the producers, who require that all purchases be made through their agents, and main tain that it can be bought of them as cheapiy as of the producer. Agents, however, maintain that there is plenty of coal, but they want $6.75 and $e.se ton for it and that does not incluSS demurrage charges or freight rates in getting 1t to the points of consump- ton. There is a wide discrepancy between statesments, and the prices quoted, by the producers and the agents. There is somewhat of a short age of cars for the carrying of coal, but to that the entire trouble Is not attributed.
 If it Is the independents, who have cornered the coal market, and yet they are in control of only 14 per cent. of the business. it is time steps were taken to break it. If it is a combine of the agents to extort the advance out of the people, it is time 1t was known. With a normal output at the mines now, as claimed, the exercise of common sense and restraint in buy ing will help the situation. but with little or no supply in the yards, or ders unified, winter coming on. and the confusing statements of those who know the real reasons for the state of affairs, it is difficult for the consumer to be patient. The retailer is at the mercy of the agent. who seems to be in full control of the situation. While there may be nothing to be alarmed about. it is high time that the facts were given the consumer. If the pro ducers have such regard for the consumers, why the discrepancy be- tween their circular and their agents prices?

The striking of the clock awoke Margery Deane; and the tramp of feet, the whinnying of horses brought swift remembrance.
 This was the big day of Ferndale Fair, and Bobby was to race Bonibelle, whom they had raised from a colt for the $5.000 stake. She sprang up, be- rating herself for oversleeping. Eight o'clock! Why, Bobby must have all ready gone out. and without even cup of coffee to steady his nerves!
 From her window, scarcely a stone's throw from the fair grounds, she could see across to the stables, where already some of the drivers were as- senlbled. She recognized several; among others Andy Sturgis, the man whose big gefding, Black Hawk, was the only horse whose speed Bobby feared as threatening a possible de- feat for BonfbeI1e. But where was her brother? She could see nothing of him.
 Could it be that he, too, had over slept? Or was he i'll. The last thought sent her hurrying across the hall to beat an impatient tattoo on his closed door. Getting no response she opened the doer-then cried out in alarm.
 Bobby, fully dressed, lay huddled on the bed.
 His face was palIid, his breathing stentorous, and body Imply inert. She ran to him, calling his name implor- ingly. She chafed his stiff hands; his white face. She dashed cold water over his head. He mumbled a few un intelligible words. and slept on. Kneel- ing beside him she wrung her icy hands in an agony of grief, recalling the air castles they had built when Bonibelle had developed such splendid speed under her young owners inde- fatigable training.
 The mortgage placed on the home during their parents last illness was to be lifted. Bobby was to begin his delayed college course. Oh, it had promised so much, this race of Boni- belle's, and now
 The odor of long boiling coffee reach ed her from the Sturgis kitchen next door. Why hadn't she thought to make some? She fairly flew to the kitchen; and ten minutes later was holding a brothers lips. Evidently nauseated by the smell, he shudderingly turned his head away, with a muttereed:
 Ugh! No, Sturgis, no-more-cof-
 Marjorie staggered to a chair, al- most stunned by the half inaudible words. O, 1t was all plain enough now! Bobby had gone otu early, and Andy Sturgis had given him drugged coffee, knowing that with Bonfbelle out of the running his own victory was assured.
 For few minutes she felt driven to the wall, beaten by the cowardly trick. Then anger blazed in her blue eyes, making her heart throb tumult uously. A daring thought gripped her.
 She would drive Bonibelle herself.
 She caught up the jockey suit of blue and gold from chair, and ran into her own room. Here a new problem confronted her-her hair. Her courage wavered for the fraction of a second; then the shining shears clicked, and the heavy brown braids lay on the floor. Blinking the threatened tears back, as she looked down at their silky length, she swiftly transformed herself from a slender girl into a slim youth.
 With the long-visored cap on, the

Within a years time it is expected $50 savings banks will be established in the public schools of Greater New York. So apparent are the benefits of the system that it is not expected a single member of the New York board of education will vote against its adoption. It is estimated that, through the pennies of the children. an annual saving of one and one-half million dollars will be made, and that the effect for good will be greater than can be estimated in dollars and cents In connection with the system it is planned to have occasional practical talks on savings and thrift.-Ansonia Sentinel.

This business of president

not always work out-witness
the beautiful scrap between
Roosevelt and Taft today.
Twice before presidents have
been the biggest factor in naming
their successors, and once it
worked we'll and once it caused as
bitter a fight as the country is
now witnessing.
Thomas Jefferson, president
from 1900 to 1903, founder of the
Democratic party, named his two
immediate successors - James
Madison and James Monroe, both
from Virginia, like Jefferson, and
both faithful to the Jefersonian
principles.
Andrew Jackson, president
from 1923 to 1886, expounder of
the party of Jefferson, named his
immediate successor, Martin Van
Buren of New York, and in 1874
named another successor, James
K. Polk, from Jackson's own
state of Tennessee.
Jackson's Van Buren turned
out like Roosevelt's Faft-an op,
ponent of his chiefs policies.
Jackson allowed VanBuren to be
renominated in 1910, but the
Democrats were defeated that
year by Gen. William H. Harri-
son, the whig candidate, because
