ABOUT PRICE FLUCTUATIONS
Civil War Period Furnishes Precedent
for Present Guidance.

for Present Guidance.
The U. S. department Of labor
through the information and Education
Service, is issuing the results of a
study of prices during the war and
eadjustment period made by the di-
vision Of public works and construction
development. Discussing the Civil
war period as a precedent for war
prices, the report says:
"A comparison Of the course OF
prices during the Civil war and the
present war shows many points OF
similarity during the two war periods
The course Of prices during the pre-
sent period of readjustment and the
corresponding period following the
Civil war show more points of diff
ference than of similarity.
During both wars the wholesale
prices Of commodities in general rose
steadily through the war period. The

This farm should produce under aver
age conditions in this county of CAL
houn food sufficient to feed the horse
that plows it and IL 400 pound bales
of cotton (three bales to be taken for
rent of land) and 276 bushels Of cot
ton seed.
This makes a balance and leaves
the farmer nothing for his time and
attention.
I have been farming for the past
40 years and am thoroughly familiar
with cotton production; have also had
many years experience in general
merchandise business, supplying ferti-
lizers and supplies to farmers; also have
had 25 to 80 years experience as a
banker, being engaged during this
period in farming, merchandising,
operating sales stables and furnishing
live stock.
The above is a correct statement IL

cotton. ]. A. Banks.

Figures of j. M. Holman.
Cost of production illustrated on a
one horse farm of Is acres planted by
j. NJ. Holman:
The production of this farm Is based
on a ten year average production of
Calhoun county.
1 have been farming for IS years and
have also been actively engaged in
buying cotton for the past ten years
All past years must be left out Of any
calculation in finding the cost of 1919
crop for the reason that all values
have advanced out of all reason.
Labor and fertilizers cost three times
as much as they did at the beginning
Of the war.
The calculations herein are made
with the actual cotton planted on this
one horse farm and the expenses are
figured only for the actual working
period, my only object being to find
what it will actually cost to produce
a pound Of cotton. The owner OF this
farm gets nothing for himself out of
this farm except his profit of $s6.50
and he will not get this profit if his
cotton is damaged by storm or other
wise and is reduced in grade, also pro-
vided he gets 80 cents for his cotton
and $50 for his seed. I have not
charged this farm with any expenses
for hoeinS. I expect the p'owman to
have time to do this work.

One of the largest magazines II
America recently requested that FUR
nish them with a statement showing
the cost of cotton to the south"
think they intended to ask that fur
nish them with statement showing
the cost of the production of cotton
| have furnished them with the fol-
lowing statement:
First. as to the cost of cotton to the
south, 1 have estimated that the fol-
lowing:
1. The production of cotton cost the
southern slavery.
2. 1t caused the War Between the
States.
8. The production of cotton has
brought slave labor. Regardless OF
the fact that cotton is a hand made
product, price has been established
on cotton on the basis of slave labor
from which price it has never been
removed.
4. It caused the south to become
cotton slaves.
S. 1t caused the south to merely
exist, denying to the producers the
necessaries and comforts Of life.
G. To produce cotton and exist al
the price paid for it by the manipula-
tor necessitated the establishment OF
starvation wages in the south, which
exist even into today.
z It has caused the nliteracy Of the
south through the manipulations of the
cotton bears.
s. It has caused the impoverish-
ment and pauperism Of the south.
9. The production of cotton has
caused the bad roads of the south
through the improvement of the pro-
(, ducer by the manipulation.
TO- 1t has driven from the rural
communities the white man, who is no
ionger contented to exc out an exist

ily the comforts and necessities OF

peaceably. But should all these meas
ures fail and two nations go 20 war,
this Is what will happen:
If both parties to the dispute have
observed the rules of the League, the
other nations will stand back and let
them fight 1t out. War under such
circumstances is difficult to imagine,
however, because before the angry na.
tions win be allowed to fight in ac-
cordance with the rules of the League,
so much time must elapse that In all
probability their anger will cool and
they will reach an amIcable under

been taken to suppress such a nation

ARE SELECTED.

At the school election Tuesday s. H.

himself as one of the directors Of dis
trict No. S3 and Mrs Raymond Greg
ory was elected to succeed j. P. Moon.
There was an impression on election
day that Mr.. Moon had scid his in
terests ard might leave the commun-
ity, which was the only reason for
the light vote he received, as he has
been valuable member of the board.
Another change was recently made
in the directorate. r. H. Bell has
resigned as a member and Henry
Taylor has been appointed in his
stead. With those already mentioned,
and ]. ]. Caldwell. Jack Gar

At the election the same day, one
new director was selected in the per-
son OF Lee Egbert, who takes the
place of Stowell Wright on the high
school board.

principles, which are not hard
TO understand when lifted out
OF the morass of technical discus
sion and freed from legal and
diplomatic language. As the
one authority best able to pre-
sent these points without par
tlsan bias, ex-President Taft

HERE rs A CHANCE FOR
YOU TO HELP,

Public spirited citizens in nor near
Meridian have fine opportunity to
contribute just now to very worthy
object. Each of the three Meridian
churches have e hundred feet or
more of cement sidewalk to construct
and at cost Of over hundred dol
lars, for each. A church treasury Is
not usually overcrowded with cash,
and the Times believes this is a good
chance to perform worthy act by
helping the church of your choice.
Churches are splendid influence in

tanned in a pretty good index OF the
class of people residing in the COM
munity.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS WILL
OPEN MONDAY MORNING

The schools of Meridian will be OPP
ened Monday, September 9Th, The
following teachers will be in charge
at the high school:
H. E. Powers, supt. and agriculture.
Nora r. Miller, principal, science.
Name L. Hand, Commercial.
Josephine L. Numbers, English.
Jennette Runciman, Mathematics.
Ruth Mead, Latin, French.
Cassie Palmer, Social Science.
Charity Simon, Home Economics.
Howard Price, Manual Training
and Athletics.
It has been arranged for the Seventh
and Eighth grades to attend the high
school building, and this will give
more room for the grades at the
other building. The grade school
teachers will be:
1st grade, Marie BeattIe.
Sd grade. Vera Mitchell.
Sd grade, Janabelle Parsons.
4th grade, Myrtle Beasley.
9Th grade, Lucy Morton.
9Th grade, Bertha Singrey.
1t is the plan Of Supt. Powers to di-
vide his time equally between the
two schools-in the morning with
the grades and In the afternoons ct
the high school.
The Times is pleased to see the con-
solidation of the interests of the two
schools and 1t will no doubt work to
the mutual advantage of both. In a
sincere desire to advance the educat-
ional interests OF the schools of Mer-
idian the Times has advocated the
consolidation for many years and In
the face of opposition has maintained
that there should be but one school
system here-the same as In Nampa
and fact every other town in this part
Of the state.
The Times claims no credit for the
adoption OF the new arrangement,
but as usual with pioneers in any
new movement, will simply enjoy the
satisfaction of knowing that the
right-although sometimes long de-
layed-will In the end triumph.
