What We Earn.

Few things are impossible to those
who are ready to pay the price Of
labor. No person has a right to an
ability which has not been secured by
training, and it Is certain that such
ability will be imperfect and conducive
to disappointment in its failure If 1t
has not been acquired by hard work
and preparation. There Is no royal
road to anything. The things we CO.
vet in others can be ours If we. do what
Is necessary to get them-what those
we envy have done, through their la.

GOLD HAS LOST HALF
OF PURCHASING POWER
SINCE THE WAR BEGAN

Richmond, Va, Dec. 28.-High
prices will prevail until the eXpan-
sion OF currency and credit result
ing from the buying of war securi-
ties on credit has been eliminated
and until the volume OF credit and
currency has been reduced to an
equality with the needs OF indus
try and trade, declared A. G. Mil
ler, a member of the federal re-
serve board, speaking today at the
annual convention of the American
Economic association.
Tested by price levels in the
markets, gold has lost about one
half its purchasing power since the
beginning of the war in 1914, said
Mr.. Miller. Gold as a standard OF
exchange has fallen in its purchas-
ing power, he said, because it has
shared the fate of paper currency
from raising prices, which on
wholesale basis are up about 100
per cent in the countries where the
gold standards still obtains.
