PRICE REACTION IS
BEGUN, SAYS BOARD
Costs Of Foods and Wearing
Apparel to Consumer Are
Declining.

WAsHrNoroN. Sept. 5.-Reactiou from
the high price level established during the
war has act IN, says the Federal Reserve
Boards review of business conditions in
August. Not only are some foodstuffs
declining In cost to the consumer but
the prices OF wearing apparel, such as
textiles and shoes. have been affected.
the review says. Business continues a.
an extremely high level" and conf
dence Of satisfactory solution Of the
wage and price problems was reported
from all sections Of the country.
During August factors which had not
hitherto arrested much attention exer-
cised great influence on the business si'.
uation," the boards statement said
Reference IL made, OF course. to the
problem Of commodity prices. in partic-
ular those going to make up the cost of
living and to the consequent condition
Of labor unrest. Whereas previously
emphasis had been placed upon the grea,
activity displayed by business. the prob
lem of price reimbursement and the diffi-
culties connected with II now bulk
largest. Discussion IN connection with
this reimbursement Is particularly CEN
tired upon the problem Of the relation
of wages and prices.
"a movement toward lower prices
appears to be in process In certain d.
rections, prices of certain foodstuffs are
declining and feeling Of conservatism
is noticeable in certain lines. such as
the textile and shoe Industries In which
price advances had previously been
most marked, 'resales' at some conces-
sion In price being reported.
Reports from the Federal Reserve
agents generally indicate a feeling of
confidence that a satisfactory solution
of the price and wage problems will be
reached. The actual volume of business
transacted continues at an extremely
high level for the present season of the
year, although transportation difficult
ties and shortage of labor have been
hampering factors in certain lines. The
agricultural outlook on 'the whole is dis
tinctiy less favorable than a month ago.
although the large acreage sowu in
certain cases will compensate for de-
creased yield per acre. Cotton in par
ticular is In poor condition.
"Refieeting the feeling OF uncertainty
which prevails. the volume of specuia-
ton has abated. and declines in the
price of securities have occurred. The
general business situation, however, is at
bottom strong"
Discussing labor conditions. the board
recorded that reports from the majority
Of districts designate the situation as
'ur settled"
In certain districts a decreasing ef-
ficfency OF labor is remarked. which is
ascribed to relaxation from war time
pressure for maximum production. A.
the same tire additional demands made

large part due to the general shortage

Miss Flora Elizabeth Rothschild
was born June 5, 1865, and died July
8th, 1919. Miss Rothschild was the
third child and first daughter born
to the late Mr. and Mrs. VIM. Roth
schild. She was raised in Lancaster
and began her life as teacher in
our public schools. Later she gave
her services to the schools of Mar
shaltoWn, Iowa, and Minneapolis,
Mimi, teaching in all 80 years in
succession, with no intermediate rest
except during her vacations She
closed her life's work three years ago
and returned to Lancaster to care for
her aged father. Two years ago the
malady which caused her death came
upon her. All that science, care and
love could do was done by the five
brothers and one sister, but of no
avail except to lessen the suffering.
On Thursday evening, July 10th,
the funeral services were conducted by
the Rev. Louis Arhelger on the spa
ciOus lawn of her home on So. Mad
ison street, at seven o'clock in the ev-
ening. Miss Rothschild was stu
dent of nature and Rev. Arhelger
showed in a very conclusive way the
connection of her life with nature,
especially the birds, trees and flowers
She had given special study to birds
and knew them we'll The great pa
thence and fortitude she had always
shown in her life's work was fore
most in her long illness. The cere-
monies conducted on the lawn at set
of sun among the birds, trees and
flowers, was most fitting to her life.
Five brothers and one sister are
left. All were present at the burial

Toss to Determine Who
Gets Evenings Pleasure
(San Francisco Bulletin)


The equality Of the sexes is produc-
ing many problems which are not
nearly so difficult as they seem. 1t is
al la matter of applying little COM
mon sense to their solution. Common
sense and a sense of humor will settle
any difficulty. For example, we heard
the other day Of a couple whose one
and only trouble was that both were
clever and each was Jealous of the
others success in conversation.
Along came a man with story
but which fitted their case exactly.
They listened and took the hint. He
said:
Il knew a man who was married
to very clever woman who would
insist upon getting into the limellght
whenever he was occupying it. He,
too, was clever, and also jealous. He
hated to see her shine as she to see
him shining. She would spoil his
jokes by giving the point before he
came to it, and he would yawn when
she was telling story. Then one eve
ming she came to him with the pro-
position that they should go fifty-ffty
Instead of wrangling they should toss
up. If she won the toss 1t was to be
her evening. He would sit back and
listen, and even help along by remind
ing her of clever things he knew she
could say. If he won the toss, she
, could listen and prompt him. She
found it hard on his evenings. but
how she enjoyed it when 1t was her
turn to be in the spotlight. Thereafter
they were both happy, though she did
accuse him of tossing with two
headed coin whenever he won two
nights in succession"
The story got abroad, and when
they were in company the word would
be passed around that Jane or jim
must have won the toss, but it proved
a happy solution of the domestic prob
