Have Your Wages Doubled?

The deficit in the United States
Treasury was s7s,ooo.ooo on November
4, the Saturday before election, as COM
pared with deficit Of half that amount
on the same date year previous. Yet
there were some millions Of people who
voted confidence in the administration
that has been the most extravagant IN
American history.
This wonderful PROSPERITY" of
ours-everybody working, or hunting
for someone to hire; good wages; big
crops: farmers receiving splendid re-
turns for certain produce; the country
full of luxuries-AND, taxes never so
high. the price CT fuel doubled, the
price of -four doubled, eggs 60 cents
dozen to consumer, potatoes 50
bushel in New York and other large
cities, beans % cents quart IN Au-
gusta, and going up, butter 81 cents
mound in Boston, corn meal $2.35 bag
or higher anywhere, salt cod fish 70
cents a pound. Thanksgiving turkeys to
be about As cents a pound.
Indeed these be amazing days Of
Democratic war prosperity and war
taxes! You, Mr.. Consumer, have your
wages doubled in the last two years to
keep pace with this Democratic reduc-
ton of the high cost of living?

THE BUSINESS
POSSIBILITIES FOR
AMERICANS IN ITALY

(Associatcd Press Correspondent
Rome, italy, Nov. flames Francis
Case, a civil engineer representing the
American International Corporation In
Italy and Spain, has just completed his
first inspection Of business possibilities
in Italy. One general conclusion he has
drawn Is that American firms should
do all possible to lower the present high
rates Of exchange with the conclusion
Of the war.
The Associated Press: ut has been
widely stated that American business
in Europe will suffer after the war
from the high value of the dollar. as
compared to other money, forcing these
nations to buy from each other or go
without what they need. For instance.
let us consider a pair Of American shoes
worth four dollars Of our money. Be-
fore the war four dollars were worth
just over twenty lire, whereas now
these four dollars are worth twenty
six lire. For all that the lire has still
the same buying power in Italy, or in
Russia. and even more in Austria or
Germany, where the mark has depre-
ciated. Naturally, if an Italian can
buy a pair OF shoes in another country
where his lire has better value than
In the United States, he is going to do
SO.
Tile solution Of this exchange prob
lem is inducing these countries to send
us their goods to increase their trad
ing with us. The reason the exchange
is now high is not SO much that Eur
ope's credit is bad with us, that we
nave no faith in her future prosperity.
1t is because we are not receiving as
much goods from her as before the
war.
I have no fear. however, that
american business will be seriously
handicapped in Europe by our higher
exchange. Take Russia. Her ruble has
lost a third of its value merely because
she cannot get her wheat and other
products to market. So soon as the
war lc over, these goods will go to mar
ket and her ruble will 60 to its old
place"
REGARDING Italy's business future
INF. case said: ITALY does not enjoy
the credit she should. She is a wealthy
country and my principal reason for
making this statement Is that any
country IS bound to be wealthy which
mas an honest, thrifty, hard-working
reputation such as she is blessed with.
we americans do not appreciate the
iact mat she is in reality a younc
country, that she has not been united
lor more than thirty years though the
GATE OF her union runs back to 1870
AT present I do not find much in
cilnation to consider new business in
italy, because every mind is still nre-
occupied by the war But so soon az
IS out OF the way, Italy will become
hne field for Americans. not on;y
10, ,or detail business but for big public
improvements, like the electrif1catjon
OF railroads to eliminate exnensi,.e 90,
o,lls. and the establishment of more
eiectrlc power plants for factories
Inc American should find q ready
market market here and be we'll received be-
cause as rule the Italians know much
more about our country and its nrod
ucts than We do about Ita]y."

Your Glarina Hsadiighes.

A subject Of timely interest Is
touched by Electric News Service.
which says:
There is a rule of courtesy among
the better class of automobiles which
teaches, do as you would be done
by" and it applies with special en-
phasis to the use of glazing headlights
at night. Encouraged by this spirit
and by the passing of city ordinances
against the use of glaring headlights
in city limits, more than a score Of
anti glare appliances have been put on
the supply market within the last few
months. They sell for almost any
amount from few cents up to six or
eight dollars. Notwithstanding the
fact that many of these appliances are
open to objection, however. thousands
of them have been sold, and If the buy
err but knew it he might have used the
adjustments on the lamps to bring
solution of the difficulty without the
expense.
Three operations are necessary in
order to obtain the greatest amount of
effective illumination and keep most Of
the glare out of the eyes Of passing
automobilists. They are:
~ Tilt the headlights slightly
downward so that when the car Is
standing on the fevel the center of the
beam strikes the roadway anywhere
from Is to 100 feet ahead. 1t has been
suggested that car manufacturers can
be of great help in the campaign for
reducing glare by making this adjust
ment when the car is assembled.
(2) Frost or lacquer the lamp bulbs
from the tip back to within about five
Fights of an inch of the base.
90 Carefully adjust the lamp to
make the beam Of light as narrow as
possible.
Carrying out these suggestions will
result in light Of the greatest in
tensity concentrated on the roadway at
the point where the driver needs the
most light. AS the beam of light is
projected downward the intense rays
will not be high enough to annoy or
blind the eyes of passing pedestrians
or chauffeurs. No device yet invented
can prevent the beam of light from
rising when the car comes over the
brow of a. hill. Under such conditions
each driver should realize the annoy
ance his lamps may cause and dim
them.

TWO ARE GIVEN LIFE
SENTENCES FOR MURDER
WOMAN FOR Staying BABE
AND MAN FOR KILLING AND
BURNING HIS WIFE.

Superior court will adjourn tonight
or tomorrow after a busy session.
Mary Anderson, a negro woman,
was convicted of killing her infant at
birth with recommendation to the
mercy of the court. She was given a
sentence of ninety-nine years.
Ed Jones, negro man who killed
his wife on the Raines place early in
January, was tried Monday, the jury
returning verdict of murder with
recommendation for mercy of the
court. He was also given ninety
nine year sentence. During the trial
Jones, who had for some time pre-
viously been affecting the role of a
crazy man, went into one of his fits,
and for few minutes gave the Off
GERS lively tussle before he was
quoted.
Harry Woodham, white man, was
convicted of co-habiting with Sue
Mccullough, a negress. Woodham is
in jail awaiting the sentence of the
court, which will be imposed after the
trial of the woman. The man moved
to this county from South Carolina
about two years ago, and was later
followed by the woman.
Numerous other criminal cases of
minor interest have been disposed of.

) cars were crowded with merrymak-
ers as they were driven through the
streets.
The ride was concluded at the pub
lie school building, where the feast
was to be spread on the pretty

games for the children as well as So
