COST OF LIVING.

Two statements have appeared in
the newspapers recently regarding
the ever-interesting subject of the
present high cost of living. One was
that, under present conditions, the
cost of conveying six dollars worth
of food from the producer to the con-
sumner is seven dollars. she other
was a statement from the department
CT agriculture that one of the factors
in producing higher prices is the agi.
tation for pure foodstuffs and the en-
actment and enforcement of pure food
laws. These statements are typical OF
two most important forces at present
influencing living conditions. One has
to do entirely with management and
administration. If it is true that it
costs seven dollars to market six dol.
/ lars worth of food, and that the
housewife is paying thirteen dollars
for six dollars worth Of nourishment,
the seven dollars difference going
to pay middlemen. railways, etc, this
need cause no dismay It simply
means that our commercial machin-
cry is receiving more than its just
due, and that it needs overhauling
and simplifying, a task to which the
American people are fully equal. But
the other statement, instead Of caus-
ing any apprehension, should really
be reason for c0ngratulation. That
the American public is sufficiently
alive to the Importance and value OF
pure foodstuffs for this knowledge to
have an influence on prices is a most
gratifying sign of progress and of
higher and better standards OF living
The fact that the initial cost is great.
er has no bearing on the ultimate
value of the produce. Certified milk
costs more than ordinary dirty dis
ease-carrying milk, but is it more ex
pensive? When one considers the
cost of medical service, nursing, med
icines and loss of time and life cans
ed by diseases transmitted by dirty
milk, it becomes evident that the frs
cost is not a fair criterion, and tina
Clean, pure milk is far cheaper il
the end, even though its initial cos
, h. few cents higher This is tru

/ can account for only small part O

e ers it welcome sign, since it mean

WOODV|LLE'S BANK IS
SHORTfS6O,0OO.OO

A dispatch to the Picayune, under
date of Jan. q, says:
A meeting of the depositors end
stockholders of the Citizens Bank
was held to-day, with L. c. Schloss
chairman, and |. s. Joseph secretary.
a partial report of the condition VI
the bank, the best Obtainable up 70
= is time, was made, showing Cashier
MacLeods shortage to be about $685.
600.
A committee of the dep0sitors was
appointed to confer with the officials
of the bank in order to determine
some plan of action. 1t was decided
to liquidate the bank, Jas. NJ. Ses-
sions. former vice president, being
named the liquidator, aided by
committee of five depositors., A con-
dition was that a new bank be organ
lied, capitalized at $4,000 or more,
and that those owning the new bank
were to apply all profits for five
years to the payment of the losses
of the depositors of the old bank.
Vice President Sessions offered to
give 900 acres of land to reduce the
losses of the depositors, which dona-
ton will greatly reduce their losses.
A movement is on foot to organize
another bank, and $4,000 has been
subscribed.
Another affidavit has been made
against Macleod, and he is now held
in Jail until he makes bond in the
sum of $4,000.

NOT CONSIDERING AN EXTRA
SESSION..

Gov. Hall, Monday night, gave out
a statement dealing with the reports
that he had said there would be no
extra session of the Legislature this
spring.
"The Beard of Liquidation is try
ing to sell the bonds" he said.
"Therefore 7 am not considering, and
will not consider, what is to be done
should it happen that the bonds fail
IT, sell. The desirability of an ezra
session in such a contingency | have
not taken up,
The discussion of this bond mat
ter IN the strain that it has been dis
cussed in certain quarters is to be
regretted, BECAUSE it is not calculas-
ell tC assist in the disposition OF the
bonds, and may result in harm. The
talk about constitutional convention
or an extra session seems to be
cmanatins from political sources to
which certainly | should not expect
To turn for advice.
Tn handling this matter it must
be remembered that we are thrown
back on the legislation of 1910, :tor
which an not responsible, and those
gentlemen who prophesy failure should
have made their valuable suggestions
at that time. They would do ser
vice to their State, at this juncture,
by keeping their opinions to them
serves.
For the purpose of broadening
the market for these bonds, the debt
amendment passed by the last SEES
sion of the Legislature, and submit
ted to the people in November, was
drafted. If the bonds are not sold,
in my opinion it will be due to he
defeat of that amendment, which
was opposed by some of the gentle
men who are now so prOfuSe with
suggestions.
1.-The Board of Liquidation is max
ing every effort to dispose of the
bonds, and has received considerable
encouragement. The board expects
to be successful, and | am not dis
posed to discuss or consider alterna
tiVeS at this time.

Ill fares the town to fastening ills
