you can and above all be neat In your
appearance. The girl who knows
how to cater to a boys whims and at
the same time appear Indifferent, to
them Is usually popular.
1 am inclined to believe that you
are worshiping an ideal and that you
do not love the boy in reality. Try
to analyze your feelings because you
will probably find II you are very
honest with yourself. that you have
simply created your ideal with the
boy as a background and are making
yourself needlessly unhappy.
Jealousy can also be controlled by
right thinking. Remember that what
you deserve will come to you. and il
something or someone does not come
then it il because you are not
drawn together by natural law.

have lived In plenty. 1t might be as
sumed that on account of this demand
our supply of livestock since 1914
would have dwindled sharply and that
it would take years to bring it up to
normal But the contrary is the case.
Figured on the basis Of prices recently
current it is estimated that the value
of livestock on farms at the beginning
of this year, including poultry. was
$24.7OO, 900. 900, compared with $12.-
$50, 100000 four years before. There
has been a further increase this year.
Supply and demand factors sooner or
later must assert themselves and re-
suit in greater purchasing power for
the dollar. Fewer dollars for labor.
therefore, will not necessarily mean
lower wages.

Up to this time the new secretary
of the treasury has not been heard
from on the subject of continuing to
make loans to the allies, as proposed
by Mr.. McAdoo. before his retirement
from office. 1t will be difficult for
the people to understand why this
policy should continue in peace times.
While the allies were fighting our
fight as we'll as theirs it was proper
to aid them in every possible way.
But they no longer need funds to
finance a war. and what money they
may obtain from this country, in the
future will be used in business. There
fore let the allies negotiate future
loans thru business channels. Let
them apply to the American banks.
We are told by the retiring secretary
of the treasury that foreign countries
will not be able to buy in American
markets unless they are financed from
the American treasury. AS a matter
of fact their excess of purchases from
us over their sales to us may hold only
for a few months. During that time
they can secure what money they need
from our banks.

WHEN PRICES MAY FALL.

Surprise and disappointment are
being expressed in some quarters
owing to the fact that there has been
little or no reduction in living costs
following the close of the war. Proba-
bly, there will be no marked change
until the world has harvested another
crop. But when the decline shall
come 1t may not be found to be so de-
sirable as many persons expect. In
all readjustments of prices, the wage
Garner is liable to be caught in the ma
chinery.
Industrial leaders have taken the
stand that wages should be maintained
on a basis of living costs. There has
been no suggestion of a move toward
arbitrary reduction. 1t is recognized
that the laborer's hire cannot be
measured in dollars but in the COM
modities that make up the sum of his
subsistence. In other words the pur-
chasing power of the dollar is given
due consideration.
1t will be interesting to note the at
titude of labor with the rise in the
dollars buying power. If the COM
modify level drop 20 per cent, if labor
can buy for so cents what it now has
to buy on the basis of 100 cents, will a
wage readjustment be resisted? We
may be compelled to face this situa-
ton in the near future.
