are "monotonous affairs" even when
the fiier has been the first TO make the

Lieut.. Commander Albert c. Read. as
recOunted by himself during a respite
from the multitude Of entertainments
and other honOrs which New York is
showering upon him.
Yes, quite mOnotOnous," said Read,
IT'S the same thing all the way. The

trip to and from France, Maddox
and Cash took a load Of tobacco
strippings to Lynchburg and disposed
of it for nearly $500. The strippings
belonged to Cash so he held the
money and doled out small Amounts
to Maddox as the latter required
them.
The two boys were In New York
for six days before they wrote to their
parents. who, in the mean time, had
requested Postmaster Woodson to help
them find them.

you might call a sort OF mandatory

Modest Confession.
In view OF Postmaster Woodson's
modest confession of his relations
with the mountaineers, small wonder
that when the letter from "Clint" and
John Cash arrived it was brought by
their folks to the postoffice and gen.

when days passed and John Cash re-
turned to townsville, saying he had
accidentally become separated from

and had been unable to find him after
two days search, the parents Of
"Clint" again appealed to the post
master.

COST OF LIVING
TO REMAIN HIGH
Little Prospect of Material Reduction.
Shown by Statistics.

ohohll w StatlStlCS.
New York, April 11.-Thcre is little
prospect OF material reduction in the
high cost Of living, sent soaring TO
unprecedented heights by the world
war; In the opinion OF o. II. Austin.
Statistcian Of The National City Bank
OF New York, who delivered an adj
dress here today on prices Ycstcr-
day, Today and Tomorrow" before the
editorial conference of the New York
business Publishers Association.
Mr.. Austin attributed rapid increase
in prices to three principal causes:
First, the urgent demand created by
the war for food and raw material for
the use Of the vast armies in the
field; second, the advance in wages
due to the increased cost Of living;
third. the enormous initiation in the
worlds cnrlcn caused by the vast
quantities of paper money put out by
The leading countries. Commenting on
these factors he said
IF the governments which have
been the chief participants in The
"orlh increase in currency should fail
10 materially reduce that excessive
supply. and if the worlds demand for
food, manufacturing material and
manrfaCiHirS is to continue at the
present rate, are we justified in cx-
pcciing general reduction III prices
in the near future? The question,
think, answers itself There will. OF
course, be instances in which there
will be material reduction but in gen
eral terms the outlook for marked or
rapid decline at least in the near fu-
ture does not seem encouraging"
The measure by which the currency
OF the world has been inflated was
shown by the speaker when he said
that the warning countries had issued
paper money with a face value Of $780,
0OO,0OO,OOO or more than the value of
all the gold and silver mined in the
world since the discovery of America.
This does not include $4,000, 900 900
issued by the RUSSIAN Bolshcviki
Meanwhile, during the four years OF
the war, the national debts OF the
world have advanced from 100000 ,000,-
600 in 1913 to 100000, 900 900 in 1919.
He saw little prospects OF an imme-
diatc reduction in this imitation in
Wow of the fact that the 19l9-20 bud
gets Of the leading countries of the
world called for four times as much
money as those OF the year preceding
! the war.
