The CiriI War

Many OF us remember our parents telling
of the high cost of living during the Civil
War. But facts do not sustain their con
tentlon, If we consider the prices OF day.
During the first year, 1861. business was
very much depressed and prices below nor
NAL. In July, 1863 We had been engaged
IN the war over two years. There had ap-
parently been no attempt to control prices
or the freedom of the people other than
preventing the selling OF liquors on Sunday
or at the music halls where Mattresses were
employed An editorial in The Times"
said: "Never was the city more orderly"
in considering the prices Of imported
goods 1t must be remembered their cos;
was in gold, then at 81 50. making the pur-
chasing power Of the paper dollar but So
cents. There was also a high import duty.
and, on account Of the privateers both
freight and marine assurances were AVA
up For example. while imported rice was
but s5.75 in bond. 100 pounds the currency
and duty paid price was SS35
Granulated sugar was l4is cents pogad
Not only were the Southern markets closed
and heavy duties imposed on raw sugar.
bat refining had not reached the perfection
OF to-day. and there were many lower
grades and molasses produced in the pro-
ducuon OF the granulated sugar, thus
greatly enhancing It's cost over that Of the
day.

BRITISH WOMEN GIVEN
 MEMBERSHIP IN NAVAL ARCHITECTURAL COILECE

LONDON, May 22 (by Asspciated Press) s).-British women have scored new triumph by securing Nadmis- sion to the institution of naval archi- tects as members. The vote taken by the institute on the question was 491 to 22O.
 When the result was announced Sir William Smith moved that women be admitted as members on equal terms with men. Sir Alfred Yarrow, in sec onding the motion, mentioned the case of women joiners who were em- ployed a short time ago in building destroyer. He said they made a magnificent job of it," and the boat was accepted by the admiralty with out demur. He mentioned another boat which recently attained speed of 38.6 knots.
 That" said Sir Alfred, Ifs the best speed yet obtained. The lines of that ship were determined partly by a young lady named Keary."
 The motion was carried.

TOTAL PRODUCTION OF
 DAWSON IS $2oo, 900 ooo

DAWSON, Y. T., May 22 (by Asso- ciated Press) Since 1885 Yukon ter ritory has shipped to the outside world $200,000,000 in virgin eslay ac- cording to records of the royalty -col- lector of the Dominion government here.
 The Klondike sent to the great war 600 of it's stalwart sons. Stress of high cost of equipment and supplies, due to war, slowed down gold production during the years from 1914 to the end of 1918. But with the approaching of peace, large dredges which have been idle are expected to revive their op- erations, and the estimated forty eight miles of placer creeks of proved values within a few miles of Dawson, miners say, soon will hum with re- newed activity.
 The greatest years gold production of the Klondike was during 1900, when $22,275,000 worth of virgin gold was shipped. In 1918 the last year of the war, recorded production fell to $1,935,S2o.

Orders were issued vacating cell No. 1, so Mahoney could occupy his favorite apartment.

piece of furniture, the type and bind ing of book.
 Second, his task, having ascer- tained the exact shade of your want, is to satisfy it precisely and perman- ently the article or refund your money if satisfaction is not perfect.
 That is service; that is satisfaction.
 It is the keystone of the modern commercial structure to demand and to get these two things?
 Do you demand them? Are you an Eskimo in an igloo, waiting for a cheap semblance of civilization to be sent to you, in the form of stan. dardized bauble? Or are you a live, progressive, civilized, modern, not taking whatever standardized product some exploiter fattening on profits in another region chooses to send you, by the mail and catalog process, but going forth yourself to get exactly what you individually want of the in- f1nitely varied products of civlliza- tion?
 The home merchants helps you to be the latter. Service and satisfaction he alone gives you, and he alone can give you.
 It is your duty not only to him but to yourself, to your city-to your civ ilization-to give the home town mer- chant yOur heartiest patronage.

HOME MERCHANT YOUR STANDBY
 AT ALL TIMES

Your cerdit is the backbone of your standing in the community.
 And it's the home merchant who gives you credit, gives you satisfac- tion.
 He puts himself out to satisfy the smallest shades of your preference in what you buy.
 He exchanges your purchases if they are not satisfactory.
 He gives your money back if you demand it.
 He is the man who stands in per son back of his guarantee, and makes good any losses you may sustain through faulty goods.
 That one word, satisfaction" sums it all up.
 And there's a great significance in that one word. The richness and com- fort of twentieth century civilization are linked up with the development of more varied individual wants, and with the satisfaction of those wants.
 And just as the most progressive and happy community is that which has the greatest variety of wants and the best opportunity of satisfy ing them all, so the most progressive and happy individual is he whose wants are not only met, but minutely satisfied
 Primitive man has few wants; and they are easily satisfied. Gum drops and glass beads suffice to delight the Eskimo. The more civilized the man, the more intricate are his wants. It takes not just gum drops, but varied reinements of confectionery to please the inhabitant of an advanced con- munity.
 Not rough standardized glass beads, but delicately and individually design ed jewelry is the demand of the highly civilized man or women.
 The whole world has been in fear full conflict over this very issue. It is the issue between civilization and savagery, between the Prussian prin- ciple of standardizing the individual and the American principle of exalt- ing the individual, giving the freest play to his wants and abilities.
 Your standing as free member of progressive civilization is not en- hanced when you fill your needs only vaguely, and satisfy them just as vaguely. The highly civilized individ- ual feels his wants keenly and with many clearcut shades of personal pre- ference. He therefore insists on satis- flying his wants by personal purchases, picking out his choice from a great variety of goods actually put into his hands for individual examination.
 That means satisfaction.
 That is the satisfaction ~which the home merchant gives-which it is his whole business in life, his whole am- bition, to give
 The merchant with whom you, as person of refinement prefer to deal is the home town merchant who sets for himself two tasks:
 First, by personal, cordial co-opera- tion to ascertain exactly what you in- dividually want, whether it be in the style or fit of garment, the quality of 1 a foodstuff, the craftsmanship in a |

The other adds similar guarantee
as a separate section of the treaty.
Such amendments are all right.
An amendment to give the United
States mandatory over the Kan
erun, German colony in Africa, was
requested by Joseph T. Thomas, a
colored man of Cleveland, Ohio, rep
resenting the national race congress
American colored men, he said, could
be recruited to police the territory
under white officers. ~
Such an amendment is all wrong
because the United States has give1
justice to the colored peoples already
within it's borders.
A petition that all the African col
onies taken from Germany be "di
vided between Egypt, Abyssinia ant
Liberia" was filed by the League O
Darker Peoples of the World.
This amendment would be all RICH
! if the word Egypt were stricken out
To give any of the colonies to Egyp
would be to turn them over to tn,
tender mercies of Great Britain which
rules Egypt with an iron hand.
