war has taught lesson to the clergy
man as well as to the layman.
Those priests and parsons who
donned khaki and went -over there" to
tend their flock have learned how best
to influence the men: one padre. for
instance, found II was no use exhort-
ing them to come and pray" so in:
stead he stuck notice outside his
door saying Come In and risk meet
ing the PADRE" and they came.
Padres frequently were seen wan
dering round the camps with Bible
In one hand and box of cigarets in
he other. for they learned that Tommy
in his extremity asked, not for pray
ers but for a smoke and companion
ship. Armed with the necessary
smoke il became easy to give
Tommy the right kind Of companion
ship.
Hundreds of men who. before the war.
had no good word to speak for clergy
men. are now enthusiastic in their
praise OF the padres. whom they real-
ize to be mea like themselves men

RRICEs AND BUsLNEss.

To degree which It Is to be hoped they understand
the immediate future of business m this county IS
gong to Turn upon the course adopted by the business
people themselves Dn's Weekly Review of Business
last week said:
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1918-12-16

Viewed In the broader aspects, however.
business is largely heSItant, and the disposi-
ton to postpone important commitments until
prices have reacted from their extraordinary
level Is spreading. The fact is that transac-
tons in many instances are limited to inome-
date and sharply-defned Requirements, and
what Is ordinarily quiet season, aside from
the retail heId, is rendered more 80 by the
prevailing inclination to await developments.
That prices have already begun to yield is
made clear by Dun's list Of wholesale quota
tons, which again discloses more recessfons
than advances and with the return Of open
markets, and the full operation Of the law Of
supply and demand, the downward revtsions
may become more general and rigid. When
prices have been adjusted to a more natural
position. thus stimulating the release Of orders
which are being withheld for terms more fav-
orab1e to buyers, an era Of noteworthy expan-
sion in domestic and foreign commerce may
conceivably be witnessed.
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1918-12-16

In other words if the merchants of the country attempt
hold up prices to the war level by artificial means they
are apt to miss the mark and bring upon themselves
totally unnecessary period of duness. The logic Of the
situation demands such readjustnent of business will
facilitate downward movement of prices and outward
movement of goods And the best method Of promoting
the latter is by vigorous advertising.
