PRICES IN BRITAIN FALLING.
ICnIopist Victorial

Reductions, which in these times ap-
pear to be notable, are taking place
| in many Of the necessaries of life in
Great Britain. The reason given for
the downward tendency Is that 1t is IN
response to the public demand. 1t is
pointed out that customers are devel-
oping a firmer attitude and that the
bargaining instinct is supplanting the
ready acceptance of the quoted price,
| Women's costumes are $10.5O cheaper
than they were three months ago
while velour hats which sold for $lO
| in the early summer have been
marked down to 1925. Ceylon flannel
| is on sale at 70 cents yard. and
shirtings have dropped from $3.50 to
S122 a yard Tweed suits, which only
very short time ago cost $3.50, are
now retailed at $36.75, while over
coats which last winter sold for $2S
can now he purchased for $3.50
Womens costumes have gone down
from $3.50 to s26.25, while the
cheaper lines are being offered al
$1s.75. Winter coats for women have
decreased in price as much as $3.50
each.
i Clothes OF every kind are conspicu'
GUS among the commodities tho
prices of which are on the downward
trend. In the west end of London
where the prices for mems suits arr
always highest in Great Britain, suits
which q short time ago were selling
for $50 are now as low as $40
Pyjamas, which last winter cos
4 SALE, have been reduced dollar
while wooden vests and shirts show 4
reduction of SIPS pair. Socks, for
merly SLIP, can now be bought fol-
'lS7 cents, and gloves are so cents
lpair cheaper. Furniture, crockery
tinware and the majority of domestic
utensils are falling in price. Boots
are shiliings cheaper. and repairs are
also costing less. SILK blouses arr
among the goods marked down." Th'
general downward tendency is beinf
shared in by a number of foodstuffs
What is happening in Britain 1.
partly due to greater production
owing to the replacement in indus
tries of men who were taken out o
them during the war. Another reason
which we have pointed out, Is the new
bargaining spirit among the people
which appears to have had the effec
of helping to reduce prices. N
doubt, too. the reduction may II
some sense be traced to the recen
Legislation which made profiteerins
crime. The probability Is, however
that the main reason is greater pro
lduction, for the ability to meet tn
demand was certain to have an I'M
mediate effect on prices. What l
happening In Britain will certainl
have a reflex action on this continen
before long. This should be especiall
noted in the price Of clothing. Som
time ago. in evidence before the boar
of commerce, 1t was given out tina
the cost of clothing material In Can
ada was less than in Great Britain
but this is hardly verified by the re
tail prices which we have quoted
Wages, of course, are higher here, bu
IL the cost of clothing material Ia any
thing like the same, this countr
suffers in comparing the costs Of tn
finished articles. All reports ar
agreed that Britain Is solving he
cost of living problem.

RIPPING RHYMES
By WALT MASON.
THE CAUSE,


All the world Is in commotion,
forty kinds Of dust we raise;
every gent with crazy notion has
an audience these days; all the
peoples rise and clamor for new
avenues to tread; every fellow has
hammer, and he'd mash an
others head. And the man who
once was kaiser, says, while peo-
pie cut up thus, I'm the little early
riser who kicked UP this beastly
fuss" No ones with his work
contented, every voter scorns his
job; and the autumn air IL scented
with the curses Of the mobs Now
that industry Is needed, industry
Is lying low; and the countries
all are seeded to the dragons
teeth of woe. Cold the FORCES of
the founder, all deserted IL the
mill; and the demagogue and
bounder aren't for an instant still.
Now no stream OF smoke IL pour
ing from the lofty stack of brick,
and no looms disturb the roaring
of the anerchistic hick. And the
man who once was kaiser, says,
az on the fence he leans" I'm the
blatant advertiser who upset the
dish Of beans" Say the nations.
I'VE shall haul him to the court,
and treat him rough; but no fate
that could befall him would be
punishment enough 30 perhaps
we'd better let him lineer where
ne saws and sings; better pass
up and forget him. while we try
to straighten things.

A WORTHY MOVEMENT

ST HERE cannot help but be general
Endorsement Of the movement in
augurated by the Boise Business Wo-
mems club to furnish lodging places
for working girls in this city. The re-
port made to the city council Satur-
day by representative Of the club
shows the women are taking hold of
the enterprise in a business like man
ner and effectively. Four houses have
been secured, two large and two small.
The city is allowing their use rent
free. They are being repaired and
furnished partly at the expense of the
club and partly at the expense of the
tens nts in lieu of rents. The income
will more than offset the expenses of
maintenance.
The entire scheme is being worked
out on a non-profft basis. Women
who are employed in various occupa-
tions will be given suitable quarters
in these houses and everything done
for their convenience. In these days
of high cost OF living the movement
Is as timely as 1t is worthy. The ne
cessities of life. high rents and higher
board have brought the working wo-
man face to face with most serious
problem. The Boise Business Women's
club is to be congratulated for bending
its efforts toward its solution.

A LITTLE SLICE OF LIFE

The other day we decided
A momentous question.
1t had been bothering us
For a good many months.
We had talked it over with
The wife and with
One or two intimate friends
And had consulted our banker
To see If we could invest
The amount of money necessary
without danger of bankruptcy.
We had the children to think Of.
Finally we mustered up courage
And, with a cold chill creeping
Up our spine, we went
And bought that ton of coal.

ENTERTAINING CROWDS.

this week at Turf Hall. The COM
pany comprises personnel of q
people including the proprietor,

have been to the entertainment speak
in the highest praise of the ability OF
the performers and the treatment
accorded the guests. Mr.. Greves
states that nothing but the most re-
fined dances and vaudeville perform
ance is put on and no rowdyism is
tolerated. The company comes well
recommended by the officials of
towns where they have appeared.
They will remain here until Sunday
leaving for a weeks stay at Aurora
on that date. The management in
vites all to attend the shows and the

is by the eye that we remember an
advertisement. 1t is by the eye the
printers tell. The old time compos.
itor could tell by the number Of let
tiers that had passed behind his thumb
whether there was letter missing OF
one too many. So it is the eye that
bears away the memory. 1t is the
eye that must be consulted, and it is
the eye that prevents president of
the United States from changing our
spelling; the eye, and two hundred
years of advertising by Noah Webster
of his style of spelling. So you
must cater to the eye as well as all
other qualities, but the eye leads.
The spelling teachers say it is a ques-
tion of memory. / say that spelling
is question Of the eye.
But l am not to tell you men who
have given hours, days, months, and
years to this great topic, what you
are to d OTTO win. All kinds of adj
vertising have won. All kinds of adj
vertising have paid, and, therefore,
you need not be discouraged if you
are using your own kind. If you
use your own kind believe in it, and
thus believing, you will make others
believe in it.-Lafayette Young.

All are healthy and tanned and all
are pleased to be home.
And what is more, we are glad
that they are home and sincerely
hope that those yet in the service
will be returned as fine lot of men
as those already here.

ALL ADVERTISING PAYS.

Publicity marks the difference be-
tween our climate in Iowa and that of
California. One is made good by ma
ture just as good as the other. The
advertising makes the difference.
Publicity marks the difference be-
tween two hats that are made exactly
alike and of the same quality. One
becomes vogue and fashion, and
is bought, and the other man swears
at Fate.
Publicity marks the difference be-
tween success and failure. No man
can tell what kind of publicity pays
the best. Advertising men are all
artists. They have studied by the
light of the standard oil, yet you
don't know that inexplicable quality
which makes one advertisement sue
cessful, the other not.
No man yet knows the absent quail
ity from an advertisement. No man
knows whether humorous adver-
tisement pays, or whether a horrid,
ugly advertisement pays, or whether
a beautiful advertisement pays the
best.
It 10 the eye that determines. II

LARGE CROWD MAKE MERRY
LAST NIGHT AT THE RE-
CEPTION.

It was estimated that there were
600 people present at the Washing
ton Auditorium last evening on the
occasion of the first reception to the
returned soldiers and sailors given
by the citizens committee.
Joy reigned supreme and with ex-
cellent music furnished by the Alb
benat Orchestra of Aurora the
crowd held the floor until two o'clock
this morning.
A buffet lunch was served at IL
o'clock by Mrs. Kolstad and Mrs.
Hodge who had prepared an excellent
list of eatables.
About fifty of the returned SOL
diers and sailors were present and
had an excellent time. Other events
of a like nature will be given later
in the season or until all the boys
are back.
AS community affair these events
are very popular and the committee
can rest assured that the efforts to
entertain were appreciated. 1t was
the opinion of the majority that such
affairs as the one given last evening
should be regular feature of the
community center idea being put in
to working cnodition in this city.
The welcome accorded the re-
turned soldiers and sailors last even
ing was general and heartfelt. The
people are glad to see them back and
the majority of the boys are glad to
be back.

CARNEGIE PENSION FUND.

The report of the operations of the
United States Steel and Carnegie
Pension Fund for the year 1918 is

and shows the excellent work done
by this organization the past year.
Since its organization on January 1,
1911, the Pension Fund has dis
bursed total of $4,367, 107.55
among the employees of the United
States Steel Corporation and its
subsidiary companies.
The Oliver Iron Mining Company
on the Gogebic, Marquette, Menom-
inee, Mesaba and Vermilion ranges
distributed a total in pensions of
$34,628.44 for the past year. Out
of this the Soudan mine received
$583.98 and the Zenith mine
$761.4O.
Active pension cases on the books
on the first of last year were 1888
PA cases were added during the
year making total of 3,147. Dur
ing the year there were discontinued
286 cases making 1851 on the books

CHIPPEWA COMPANY.

The Chippewa Iron Mining Com
pany is conducting an important de-
velopment on the Vermilion range
on the well known Mcdonald forty
says Skillings' Review. It is going
about it in manner that has
achieved success in that district be
fore, and that is by going down with
a shaft to a good depth, and not de-
pending upon drilling alone to locate
the ore and forecast probable ton.
mage. Drills serve a good purpose
in demonstrating the character of the
ground at depth, but on the Yer
million mines usually are developed
upon drill showings which in some
other districts, and in different for
nation, would not be considered suf-
ficient to warrant the expenditure OF
sinking shaft.
To cut any fair ore showing on
the Vermilion with diamond drill
may prove to be information that a
mine may be developed, and on the
other hand may mean that it is only
stringer which will not develop ton
mage fast enough to be worth the
money.
The Chippewa Iron Mining Com.
pany's shaft is now down 800 feet
or more and it is proposed to go to
go to 500 feet before running drifts
to explore the territory adjacent to
it. A very complete plant for de.
velopment and for mining was in.
stalled something over a year ago.
1t is learned that part of the
shaft is cutting ore at the present
time. The other material which i.
encountered is jasper. The Chip
pewa people are proceeding in {
manner which appeals to those
familiar with the mine and explora
tion history of the Vermilion.
