LOWER LIVING
PRICES SOON TO
COME --PALMER

The statement says that a every
solemn duty to assist in reducing the
cost of living and particularly to elm
mate profiteering rests upon honest
and responsible business men of all
classes. To bring about cooperation
in this direction the national organi-
zation representing the different trade
interests have been approached"
Credit is given the statement to
the work done by the women's organi-
cations throughout the country and an
appeal made for cooperation of all
citizens toward making the campaign
a success by saving and eliminating
extravaganza and by joining with the
department of justice in stamping out
profiteering and boarding.
Emphasis is laid on three essential
factors: Increase in production,
elimination of extravaganza buying,
and the determined hunting down Of
profiteers of all classes.
The statement was authorized at a
meeting of the so-called "high cost of
living cabinet" which was attended by
Secretary of the Navy Daniels; Sec
retary of Commerce Alexander; Victor
Murdoch and William B. Glover of the
federal trade commission; R. c. Lef-
fingwell, assistant secretary of treas
urer; Walker Hines. director general
of railroads; Howard f. Figg, special
assistant to the attorney general, and
A. Mitchell Palmer, attorney general.

Asserting that the cost of living in
November was no greater than it was
in August, Attorney General Palmer
Monday made public an outline of the
government war on high prices.
The fact that living costs were NO
higher last month than they were in
August is referred to as "significant"
as in former years, extending back to
1911, the returns for November show
4 considerable increase over the
August returns.
The statement points out that bu-
reau of labor statistics show that in
the fall months of 1916, 1917 and 1918
there were advances in retail food
prices of 13, 18 and 16 points respec-
lively, while in 1919 there was no up
ward trend.
Indications point toward reducing
the cost Of living.
The history of retail food prices, it
was stated, indicates that a decided
downward trend ordinarily may be
expected in the part of the year be-
tween Jan. l and March l., and it is
to be hoped that this trend will be ac-
celebrated this year by the campaign
initiated by the government, which is
just now getting well under way.

TEN DOLLARS PER
TON PLUS BONUS
FOR SUGAR BETS

There were something like sixty
five delegates from Colorado, Nebras-
ka. Wyoming and Utah present at the
recent beet growers convention held
in Denver, and the work is formally
crystallized into the following state
ment sent out by ]. H. Golden, acting
as secretary Of the Mountain States
Beet Growers association:
The Mountain States Beet Growers
association adopted for the 1920 crop
of beets basic price of $1,000 per
ton. the same as recommended by the
federal food administrator in 1918,
which at that time was estimated on
the basic price of sugar at seaboard
at seven cents per pound. However.
it provides for bonus of $1.50 ton
additional for each one cent advance
in sugar above the price fixed by the
administration at the time the price
was fixed for beets. and to be paid at
the end of the fiscal year on the aver
age selling price during the year of
sugar made from the gects grown in
1920. This was the gist of proposed
contract between the beet growers
and the sugar companies, drawn and
approved bv the Mountain States Beet
Growers association. at the closing
session of their seventh annual meet
ing.
The following officers for the en-
suing year were elected President
Fred Cummings of Fort Morgan, Colo.
first vice president, H. c. Beggs of
Fort Morgan. Colo, second vice pres
ident, George Harms of Scottsbluff,
Nebr.; third vice president. P. G..
Fowler of Lingle, Wyo.; secretary and
treasurer, J. H. Golden Of Longmont,
Colo.
In addition. one director was elected
from each factory district in the beet
sugar territory covering Colorado,
Wyoming. Montana and Western Ne
braska.

THIS SECTION ENJOYING NICE
WEATHER THESE DAYS

This section has been enjoying some
real nice weather during the past ssv-
eral days, the moderate temperatures
and sunshine being greatly appreci-
ated after the recent storms and Sc
we're cold spells. However. the roads
have been and are still in bad shape,
making travel very inconvenient. In
many instances the horse and sled
have replaced the automobile, and the
farmers have only made trips to tpFn

Eskimo Characteristics.

The Eskimo are heavy, strong of
arm and back, and very light on thei,
feet. They are short-legged, but very
tleet-foOted and great jumpers. They
begin to practice jumping as soon as
they can walk. The favorite way OF
jumping is to spring up and kick with
the toes of both feet and come down
again on the feet. Many of them
can in this way touch a point from u
to 80 inches above their heads. In
looks they resemble the Japanese far
more than the Chinese, but they are
lighter in complexion and very ruddy.
faced. The girls and young women
are good looking. Some are handsome.
Their eyes are clear brown and very
bright, and their eyesight is marvel.
Gus. Their food is what the sea pro-
duces, SEAL walrus, whale and fish.
The hair seal is the most useful. II
furnishes the skin for footwear, nit.
tens, trousers, material for nets, rope
and bags for oil. The flesh is used for
food. The blubber, which is the largest
part of the seal, furnishes oil for food,
light and heat. The quantity of seals
seems to be unlimited. Unlike the fur
seals, the hair seal never comes
ashore. 1t is captured in nets and
when the ice forms 1t is shot.

before the temple of Amenhotep near
Thebes. 1t was brought to Paris in
1886.
1t was on the present site of the
obeliSk that the guillotine was erected
in 1892 and Louis XVI died beneath
its blade in 1893. Among those who
died in the red days of the square
were Charlotte Corday, Marie Antoi-
nette, Danton, Camille Desmoulins
and Robespierre, and in all upwards
of $500
But the French remember those days
of tragedy with less sorrow than they
do the browning indignity of the pres
ence of the PruSSians on the Place de
la Concorde in 1871. The soldiers Of
William l showed the usual German
disrespect for art by hanging their ac-
coutrements on the great statues, by
littering the place with the refuse Of
army camps, even at times by hitch
ing their horses in and about the
square.
Should some heroic figure commence
rative of the great war be erected
there the spot where France has sor-
rowed for more than 40 years will be-
come a spot where France can re-
jOice. Even without this final trib-
ute of the artists imagery, the gar
land crowned figure of the Redeemed
Sister" will remain forever a thing Of
joy to the true son and daughter of
France, as well as to the lovers of lib
erty throughout the world.
