All Must Help
[From the Arkansas Gazette. ]

tFrom the Arkansas Gazette.1
Attorney General Palmer, who is
leading the fight for the Government
against the high cost of living, says
results already are beginning to
show. But he added the following,
which all of us should keep in mind:
I'VE want to make clear, how
ever that nothing we can do can
change the immutable economic
laws on which prices depend. If
we can increase the supply by
greater production and lessen de-
mand by greater saving on the part
of the people, then the cost of liv-
ing should come down"
Until all of us realize that the
high cost of living cannot be brought
down unless each of us does his part
there will be no real or permanent
results from the Governments fight.
1t will help, of course, to stop
profiteering and to force on the mar
ket goods boarded by profiteers, but
to solve the problem permanently
we must increase production.
We should fix in our minds this
fact-the Government cannot by the
mere passage of laws bring about a
situation that will insure for each
of us increased income and de-
creased outgo. The big part in solv-
ing the high cost of living must be
done by the individual through
thrift, common sense and unselfish-
ness.

Good VIII Dividends

[From Louisville Courier-Journal.
The financial distress of city rail-
way companies has provoked dis
cussion of increase of fare as a
matter of justice to the corpora
tions and discussion of decreases of
fare as a practical means of in
creasing revenue. While the dis
cussion has gone forward in many
cities the experience of Philadel-
phia with the conventional 5-cent
fare has been satisfactory from the
point of view of the transportation
company and that of the public.
The Public Ledger, of Philadel-
phia, says:
The nickel standard fare still
prevails here, and President Mitten
gives the assurance that the main
tenance of this standard is the ideal
for which he is striving and will
continue to strive. He does not
need to be told that there is a deep
seated tradition in America in favor
of the scent unit and that a de-
parture from that unit fare is in
variably accompanied by falling
off in the number of the profitable
short distance riders and, as rule,
by a reduction in revenue"
1t has been said that the dividend
payers stand in the aisles on street
cars. 1t is true that empty seats
pay no part of operating expenses.
The fact that during a period of
increasing costs of various kinds
the Philadelphia company volun-
tarily adopted the War Labor
Board level of wages, and the fact
that under the present management
a company which was poorly equip
ped and not earning dividends has
become well equipped and is paying
dividends without increase of fare.
are facts which make the experience
of Philadelphia interesting to all
American cities whose city railways
are in financial difficulties. The old
rule of many sales and small profits
has been relied upon in the Quaker
City with results which cannot fail
to attract the attention of stock
holders and passengers who are
concerned about the situation OF
street railway companies in other
cities.

AN INDUSTRY'S START

" HIS particular period of the
twentieth century is rich in
centennial anniversaries, es-
pecially in Pennsylvania and in our
own part of the State, because it
was just about 200 years ago that
the beneficent effects of Penn's
form of government were commenc-
ing to be realized and 100 years
ago that we were striking our
stride in the Union as a manufac-
turing and transportation Com
monwealth. Some of the anniver-
saries have been commemorated
fittingly; some have been forgotten.
Just now we are joining homecom-
ing greetings to soldiers with the
noting of centennials of organiza-
ton of governmental divisions,
. founding of towns or some other IN
teresting event. We are about to
celebrate the Constitutional xnniver-
sary in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and
other places.
This is all very good, but next
year, by common consent of his
torians, is the 20Oth anniversary of
the commencement of Pennsyl-
yanias premier industry. the busi-
ness that has brought this State
Worldwide eminence and untold
wealth. From all account, it was in
1920 that Thomas Rutter, with as
sistance of some of the Society of
Friends and men of wealth in Eng
land, established the first blast
furnace near Boyertown. 1t was
called Colebrookdale and from 1920
on down through a century and a
half, it made iron and supplied
cannon and shot for the American
armies in two wars. 1t was the
parent of other furnaces and the
place whence numerous FORCES in
the vicinity of Philadelphia drew
their iron.
Thomas Rutter, his name un-
known to many men active i'll iron
and steel, and Colebrookdale fur
mace, the pioneer establishment of d
mighty industry that has just won
world war, deserve some COM
memoration in Pennsylvania next
year.

SOMETHING HAS GONE

* OMETHING has gone from the
earth that was here only a week
ago something intangible
but very real, nevertheless; some
thing we scarcely thought about,
but something now that it is gone,
we look for in vain and sigh be-
cause it is not. Summer has de-
parted. The skies are as blue as
they were in mid-August, the sun
is as bright and the fields are as
green. But there is a new tang in
the morning air and n haze hangs
over the fields toward evening that
speaks of approaching autumn.
Something has gone, but something
new is here, and we turn from our
pleasure-seeking and vacationing
in far places to face with zest tire
work from which we shrank when
the spell of summer was full upon
ts and the lure of the open was not
to be denied.

The Underpaid Professor
[From the Reviewl

He is being cramped and humili-
ated on all sides, is conscious that
he is becoming quasi-miserly
through over attention to pennies
in fact, is himself living a petty
and sordid life, and, what is much
worse, sees those he most cares
for, and for whom he is responsible
involved in the same destiny. He
willingly took on the vow of pow
erty for himself, perhaps, but not
for them. He would go into plumb
ing if he knew enough. He is i'll
the clutch of an out-and-out eXas-
perating experience, one that is de-
structive both of his dignity and his
self-respect.
Whether, under this harrow, he
reveals Bolshevoid tendencies or
not, man IN such a mood ought
not to be teaching our sons. lie
is bound to be wearied and dis
traught, If not bitter and cynical.
1t takes enthusiasm and fervor to
fire the heart of youth. There is
call for the clear and equable mind,
Suiflclently at rest as respects its
own concerns to be able to spare
that force upon which his charges
ought to have the right to draw.
AS things now go, the best men will
keep out of teaching. and presently
the inferior ones, less robust and
resistant of nonsense, may actually
fall, as some have already fallen,
into the status OF suggestible NAL
contents. The heads of most pro-
fessors are not yet weak enough
for Bolshevism; but certain jour
nails that dish up brain softening
compounds, full of insinuation and
suggestion, are far too popular
among them. To such influences
they are becoming ever more open
minded" This is dangerous. If tie
cure of Russian Bolshevism is more
food, the prophylaXis of professional
Bolshevism is more salary.

Counties are joining with the State
in authorizing loans for permanent
highways and Dauphin county must
not lag at any stage of this great
road-building era. Only this week
farmers of the Lower End considered
the joining of two parallel state high
ways by a county or township road.
&C operation of this sort indicates the
changing attitude of the farming
community and means ultimately a
fine system of modern highways for
Pennsylvania. 1t will also mean, in the
last analysis, better farms, larger
return for the industry and a more
prosperous people generally through a
better understanding of mutual inter
ests by residents of the cities and
towns and those of the rural sections.

1000 Murdered
by the Bolsheviki

Omsk.- evidence of the
massacre by the bolsheviki of more
than 1000 civilians in and near the
town of Osa has been obtained by
Messrs. Simmonds and Emerson and
DIR. Rudolph Teusler of the American
Red Cross, who have just returned
from Perm, Osa and other re-occupied
Russian territory. Approximately 500
persons were killed at Osa and l,0OO
in the surrounding districts.
Osa, which had population of TO-
600. was so denuded of males by the
bolsheviki that General Casagrande,
upon the occupation of the town, was
obliged to telegraph to Ekaterinburg
for men to administer civic affairs.
In addition to securing verbal and
documentary evidence the American
Red Cross officials witnessed the ex-
huming of scores of victims from
trenches, where they were buried
sometimes several deep in graves re-
vealed by the digging of dogs.
The murders were without provoca-
ton, and the victims were largely Of
the thrifty and intelligent classes or
servants of the church, which latter

much hope Of putting the theory into
effect, for it is pointed out that Ger
many will not abolish CONSUMPTION I'M
less the neighboring nations do. Since
the Germans do not expect their neigh
bors to depend on volunteers, plans
are being worked out for new con-
scription army serving shorter periods
and modelled more after the Swiss
than the old Prussian army. Tie
militia idea is popular, but is consld-
cred idealistic.
The German army of interior de-
Tense, which probably numbers around
a hundred thousand men, or possibly
a few thousand more, is an expensive
proposition. Volunteers have to be
paid well to keep them from being
won over by the Spartacans, who offer
more money. Food and equipment Is
good.
The new army has q rather slack
discipline, and none of the old Prus-
sian snap is seen when officers ap-
pear. Familiarity and almost inso-
lence are seen on every hand. The
German trooper has changed lot with
the revolution, and if appearances are
at all Indicative, the government
forces in Germany today are not to
be feared outside Germany.

Thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain eitro-Phosphate
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Vigor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose OF making
thin people fieshy, developing arms. neck
and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinnesS.
Thinness and weakness are usually due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need moro
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists. as phosphate, which is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under a guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. BY feeding the nerves directly ana
by supplying the body cells with the neces-
sary phosphoric food elements, bitro-phos-
plate quickly produces a welcome trans
formation in the appearance; the increase
in weight frequently being astonishing:
This increase in weight also carries with
it a general improvement in the health:
Nervousness, sleeplesSness and lack OK
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, soon disappear, duu
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION: - Although bitro- phosphate
ia unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleeplessness and general weakness, 1t
should not, owing to it's remarkable flesh
growing properties. be used by anyone
who does not desire to put on flesh.

Germany's army is in a transitory
state. What it will become depends
upon the peace terms, the Germans

declared himself against a conscripted
army, and Noske and Reinhard were

at good pay.

it was the announced intention of the
bolsheviki to exterminate.
The evidence discloses almost I'M
tliinkable atrocities. A blacksmith, by
economies, had attained q shop. He
was required to pay 5000 rubles; be-
cause he could not, he was shot. A
man was shot because he lived in a
brick house. All attorneys and jurists
were killed, and doctors, whose serv-
ices were not required for the moment.
were disposed of in similar manner.
A woman whose husband and two
sons had been seized applied to the
commissar for information as to their
fate. She was told they had been
taken to Perm. After repeating her
visit several times she was Informed
that If she bothered the commissar
again she would be shot, as they had
been.
The body of a woman was exhumed
and identified in the presence of the
Americans as the wife of a general
through jewels sewed in the lining OF
her clothing, of which relatives were
aware. Another woman was compelled
TO fetch a lamp and gaze upon her
murdered sons for the amusement of
the slayers.
A wife required to pay 1000 rubles
for the release of her husband bor-
rowed 800 and paid it over; later she
returned with the remainder, and then
was informed that her husband had
been shot. There were scores of SINH
lar cases. All were killed without any
form of trial.
The soviet called a meeting and pre-
pared lists of those to die. The houses
prescribed were visited by squads, the
doors were smashed in, and the vic
Tins dragged to the edge of the town
and forced to dig their own graves
Those who resisted were shot in the
streets.
A survivor testified that he had seen
men thrown into pit and buried
alive. This testimony has been con.
firmed by bodies exhumed, the clenched
hands of which were clinging to the
mud at the bottom of the pit.
The only spark of humanity discov.
able was that in confiscating the be.
longings of the residents. In some in.
stances where there was a family OF
small children, the family was permit.
ted to retain one COW out of several.
Occasionally peasant was allowed to
keep his worst horse.
The bolshevik attitude toward the
church was uncompromising. Priests
were hunted numerically. The evi.
dence showed that men were slain
whose only offense was that they
worked as sections or caretakers OF
churches.

I think have the best first baseman
in baseball, and that he will be so rec

"Pipp can do everything around first
base any Of the others do, and his
great reach gives him decided adj
vantage over most Of them. And l
know Of no other first baseman who
carries more of kick at bat. He hit
.3O4 for me last year, but batting
average does not begin to tell Pipp's
usefulness to a team. His ability to
make those long hits at critical times
makes him one Of the most valuable
men in baseball. He led his league in
home runs in 1916 and 1917, and has
led his league in driving in runs.
"Pipp still is young fellow, and I
think was Just reaching the top Of his
game last season. He is improving,
and I pin lot of faith on him for
next season."
