LET THEM REST IN PEACE.

Parents Of CONS who lost their lives
on European battlefields during the
world war have given much thought to
the question Of the bringing home Of
the bodies of their loved one for re-
inte-ment in home cemeteries Many
have been anxious to bring about the
return OF the bodies while others
have believed It better that the bodies
remain where they were first laid to
rest,
To those who have hoped some day
by the government to transport the
bodies homo may find q change in
viewpoint in the advice Of General
Pershing, who believes our dead should
be left in France,
Il believe that, could these soldiers
speak for themselves, they would wish
to be left undisturbed where with their
comrades, they fought the last fight
says General Pershing. Those who
rest in England gave their lives in the
E2tIts thti1t:i ana Lfioir iSiiidih" '1i'' -
sent the same salvation as those who
lie on the battlefield"
Such sentiments, as expressed by the
communicating chief of the American
army in France, can not help but have
| an appeal to those who have been in
favor of the effort being made tc
bring our dead home, The work Of
removing the bodies and Of transpor
tation would be an immense task
After 1t might be done there could b
no great good come from. the change
save for the satisfaction of havin
| ones dead near, that graves could b
cared for, General Pershing declare!

ent economic conditions.
We might leave out OF consideration
the insistent fact that the world needs
coal, as it needs all other commodities,
and that any industry which defib-
eratelv does anything to curtail pro-
duction is Sinking its duty and refus-
ing to play its part in the general re-
habilitation of the world. Considering
the matter purely from the standpoint
Of the miners themselves, we are like
ly to find the plan operating in vi
cious circle which defeats its own
aims.
The miners. working shorter hours,
naturally produce less coal. That
makes coal dearer for everybody. OBJ
tanning higher wages, they add still
more to the cost of coal. Everybody
else. having to pay more for coal. has
to charge more for his own services or
output. Thus everything the miners
themselves by will cost them more. IL
everybody else put into effect this plan
of the miner. we should simply have
everybody doing less work, creating
less wealth. and at the same time get
ting more money-and prices going up
and up and up. so that even the high
pay would buy less than usual. because
there would be less to buy. 1t would
make money more and more worthless
counters OF continually shrinking
value.
There Is really only .one way to re-
store comfortable living conditions. It
is 10 increase production of all the
necessaries of life. Then. If profiteer-
ing is, generally speaking, curbed.
prices and wages will pretty we'll take
care of themselves.

WHAT HAPPENED TO

Mr.. Porcuplne was licking the In
side Of the pork barrel, eating every
grain OF salt he could find and even
eating some pieces of wood OH the In
side of the barrel to which the sail
stuck.

smacked hts lips, II could never eat
enough of this lovely salt. II Is n
queer thing that Jimmy Coon ana
Teddy Postum don't like II at all. Well
all the more for me-
Jimmy Coon was whispering to Ted

heads and smiled and laughed out
loud. You would think they were tell
ing each other a good joke, and this
was strange when they were both so
angry with Mr.. porcupine But they
seemed to have forgotten their anger
The camp was on a little hill. There
were n few pine trees, but fairly
open space led down to a pond. Now
ii you had been there, you would not
have known what those two rascais
were trying 10 do, for they both took
hold of the barrel and stood on their
hind legs.

And that wasn't the record. either.
Going back to the revolutionary war
DAYS. a time when the present genera
ton imagines that living was apsuro-
~ low, we find such prices as these
according to a Chicago authority:
Meat, 81 to 81 Il pound.
Corn, $25 a bushel,
Potatoes. $40 a bushel
Molasses. ST. gallon.
Cheese, 81 n pound.
Butter, So n pound.
Sugar IS a pound.
In the year 1879 sugar rose TO 81 a
pound. In 1879. year comparable
with 1919, because il was the year art
er the war had ended and the year
when the American Union or League
of states was established. butter so!u
FOR So 4 pound and ten for $40. Those
prices, OF course, must have been reck-
oned in deprecated currency. But
1t was the only currency in circula- :
ton. and was no doubt as hard to get
as present day money.
Prices have been abnormally hish
after wars. And here is where the
hope comes in-they have always gone
down again-never. perhaps. quite to
the previous low level, but greatly De
low the high level caused by the waste
and disturbance of war.
Glance back at that 1865 list, ana
then remember the days since. when
sugar could be bought for cents a
pound and bread for cents loaf ana
milk for 5 cents n quart and eggs for
IS cents a dozen. These current prices
will not last forever.

TWO SETS OF PRODU GERS.
Waterloo Times Tribune.

TWO SETS OF PRODU GERS.
Waterloo Times Tribune.I
A Chicago bank. presenting the
farmers view Of the present economic
situation, makes this incisiHe COM
ment:
Farmers and ruralites generally are
seriously perplexed at being called up
on to exert themselves to raise larger
and larger crops in order to reduce the
cost of living for dwellers in towns
and cities. while the latter seek to Or
ganize and strive harder and harder
TO reduce working hours and advance
wages. thus tending to increase the
cost of wares which the farmer must
buy"
II must be admitted that this is the
present tendency.
More food is needed, of course. But
it is certainly inconsistent TO harp on
the need of larger farm production IN
less there i simultaneous demand Tor
. larger production of manufactured
goods. Fuel, furniture, paint. hardware
and all sorts of other commodities are
needed as well as food, and there can
be neither lower prices nor equltaole
adjustment OF the burdens of city folk
and country folk until both Glasses CO.
operate in stimulating production.
There are many special causes OF
high prices in this or that field. There
are also general causes applying TO
pretty nearly everything. Perhaps the
chief of these general causes is the fact
that for several years the production
of useful manufactures has Jagged
while Industrial effort was applied TO
war purposes. 1t is no time, therefore,
for ANYBODY, whatever his occupation
TO seek greater ease than usual. That
will do after the deficit has been made
up.
The farms have been speeding up
now let the industries speed up.

Working and saving re the two SOW
crcign specifics Tor what ais America
today. We have slowed up on work,
we have speedcd up on spending, We
arc Ivy way OF forgetting the lessons of
thrift We learned in the war, t. he the
l!hrr;y bonds we raked and scraped 10
buy in order TO help the government
win the war. How many OF us have
those bonds safe in the vaults drawing
interest? How, many OF US have sold
them, or borrowed on thcmH or used
them ms ready cash TO buy this or that
luxury?
When man uses his liberty bonds
as cash he does an injury not only to
himself by thus dissipating his saw
ings. but to the whole country as well.
For such n use means another contri-
button to the initiation of the currency.
This bond initiation in the aggregate is
very considerable.
One of our troubles today Is that we
have too much money. and thus. the
value OF it In purchase OF commodities
is reduced. Irf'at,on Of money and
credit like extravaganza, is a by-pro-
duct of war The volume of money
can not be violently reduced by the
Federal Reserve Bank. The excess
must be reabsorbed gradually.
But the situation is aggravated by
the use of liberty bonds as circulat-
ing medium. 1t is, helped by those who
thrifty keep their bonds and draw
their interest.

wondering and worth needing. To do
so is an individual duty for every one
