THE SECRET is NO SECRET

What is the secret of the continued
high cost of living? The secret is no Sc
cret!
Railroad wages are increased by sever
al billions and up go passenger and
freight rates.
Wages of telephone companies employ
es are increased and straightway tolls
are advanced 20 per cent.
Wages of packing house employees go
up and the packers promptly announce
that no reduction in the prices of meat
products can be expected during the en-
suing year.
The price of wheat is fixed at $2.26 a
bushel as against the pre-war price of
81, and the high cost of bread has no pros
poets of decrease.
Employees of the wooden mills ask for
double wages, and the cost of clothing
keeps moving forward
Cotton mills grant higher wages, and
everything made of cotton, from a spool
of thread to summer dress, helps pay
the INCREASE.
Wages in iron and steel mills are in
creased by over 100 per cent, and the
prices of iron and steel products, includ-
ing hardware and structural steel that
enters into the building of homes remain
at.figures that double the cost of building
and add to rentals.
Wages of coal miners are advanced and
we are admonished that we must expect
to pay more for fuel.
We have no objection to increases of
wages, but let wage earners bear in mind
that as long as high wages continue they
must expect the high cost of living to
continue. They should sharply rebuke
those who denounce the manufacturers of
and dealers in the necessities of life as
pirates" and "profiteers"
And here is the one big fact the trust
busters have discovered at last. 1t is the
report of the United States Tariff Com
mission, which says, Admitting indivi-
dual exceptions, the big concerns are the
low cost concerns and the small concerns
are the high cost concerns"
So big business after all lowers and
does not raise the cost of living Truth
is eternal. 1t still survives.-Leslie's
Weekly.

Sailings Secured From
New Orleans to Foreign Ports
Increased Transportation Big Thing for South Especially
CHATTANOOGA Manufacturers

Additional sailings have been
granted by the United States ship
ping board through the port of New
Orleans to foreign ports which will
prove boon to southern manufac-
turers, according to a communication
received from A. w. Pradillo, man
ager of the foreign bureau of the New
Orleans Association of Commerce, by
the Chattanooga Chamber of Com
merce, which has been lending it's
support to the project of more ships
for southern ports.
The announcement of additional
shipping is declared to be the biggest
development for the south in many
years. 1t will mean a big saving to
the manufacturers of the south. In
the past it has been necessary for
manufacturers to ship their goods for
export via New York or some other
eastern port at a loss of time and a
higher rate.
The following are the additional
sailings from New Orleans: Four to
Liverpool, two to Bremen, one to
two to Havre and Bor-
deaux, two to London, two to Rot
terdam, two to Glasgow, two to CO.
two to Genoa, two to Ant
werp, one to Barcelona and one to
Trieste and Fiume.
According to Mr.. Pradillo: with
the above mentioned sailings the port
of New Orleans will now be in posi-
ton to serve your shippers in proper
and we sincerely hope your
shippers will take advantage of this
service.
I'VE haS now pending with the
board the ALLEGATION of
steamers for service to South Amer
ca between New Orleans Panama
vest coast of South America, as we
Ire fully convinced that if New Or |
cans will have such service the |
south American merchants will GER |
ainly be inclined to make their pur-
'hases in the great centers of our
alley instead of going east, as the |
arge majority have done in the past.
The establishment of this fast
ervice will mean that a merchant in
'alparaiso would reach your city at
east five days sooner than at the
resent time"
The following communication from
he chamber of commerce to The
'eWs explains the reason for central
zing upon one of the southern ports
AS you doubtless know, there is
n effort made to concentrate all of
ur fire on New Orleans. making it
he port of entry for the south and
outheast. The reason for this is that

Certainly thinks of similar priced or

Isn't the comparison always with larger and

PAINTSVILLE
Oil G. Gas.

Oil & Gas.
The oil well brought in last week by
Frank Wallace, and others of johnson
county which has been conservatively
estimated at IL barrels day, has had
much to do with the stimulation OF
interest in the oil and gas develop
ment OF johnson county.
1t has already been proven beyond a
doubt that this county is a big gas
producing field and already arrange
ments are being made to manufacture
gasoline at a number OF different
points and the gas will be sold TO the
Louisville Gas Company.
Since the showing of oil in the Wal
lace well a number of new companies
have been organized and new people
are now in the county looking the field
over with a view of putting down
number OF test wells
At present at least fifteen wells are
being drilled in this county and arr
rangements have been made for many
more test wells to be drilled.
Two miles above Paintsville on the
farm of Lindsey Conley there is gas
well which affords enough gas to sup
ply the town of Paintsville and re-
ports say that company will soon be
organized to bring the gas to town at
a lower rate than we are now paying.
