The Secret Is No Secret.
TROY

What is the secret of the continued
high cost of living. The secret is no
secret!
Railroad wages are increased by
several billions, and up go passenger
and freight rates.
Wages of telephone companies en-
ployes are increased and straight
away tolls are advanced 90 per cent
Wages of packing house employees
go up and the packers promptly an
nounce that no reduction in the
prices of meat products can be expect
ed during the ensuing year.
The price of wheat is fixed at $226
bushel. as against the pre-war price
LOT 81 and the high cost of bread has
mo prospects OF a 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
spool OF thread to summer dress,
helps pay the increase.
Wages in iron and steel mills are
increased by over 100 per cent. and
the prices of iron and steel products.
HdiuNdit anu III
steel that enters in the building of
homes, remains at figures that double
the cost of building and add to rem
tails.
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 de-
nounce the manufacturers of and
dealers In the necessities of life as
pirates" and "prohteers."
An here is the one big fact that
trust-busters have discovered at last
Ii is in the report OF the United
States tariff commission, which says
Admitting individual exceptions,
the big concerns are the low-cost
concerns and the small concerns are
the high cost concerns."
So Bib Business after all lowers
and does not raise the cost of living.
Truth is eternal, II still survives

able.
In the old days, when women baked
spun, woye, churned, washed, brew
ed. preserved, made clothes, cheese,
candles, soap and cider and bore and
reared children as well, they had no
time for moods. Ergo: The remedy
for unreasonable and moody women
is to make them true helpmeets by
giving them plenty to do But what
If they won't?
First: The chances are that there
are physical reasons for some moody
women. Doctors nowadays trace
most everything to some infection,
from bad teeth to ingrowing toe
nails, so the first thing to do with a
moody woman Is TO find ont if she is
a sick woman or a woman with a
bad temper and afflicted with
chronic slackeritis. If she is sick,
have her treated if she is lazy and
badnatured, get good hardwood
paddle. about five by II inches, not
over one-quarter of an inch thick,
with a handle, and keep it for occas-
ional use. And when IL is used, let
ii be in the classic fashion-to be
laid heartily but without leaving
marks!
AS rough guess, we should say
that perhaps one-fifth Of the moody
women need medical treatment and
the other four-hfths need to be set to
work Naturally. If they won't work
the paddle could be kept on the top
of the kitchen cupboard or overhead
in the woodshed, or somewhere else
where it would not too violently OBJ
trude its purpose, and the delicate
creature of nerves and temperament,
who is too sick to work but too sick
to gard about and neglect her work,
could be sheltered from its horrid
aspect except on occasion.
This is all presuming that the fair
youth, with whom we started out,
determines to marry the moody girl
and afterwards finds out that he can't
live with her or without her.
Moral: The pill or the paddle;
there is no Observation-Disclosures
Herald.

TUESDAY. IULy -. 1910.

Tho state reconstruction committee
that discovered there was only one
bath tub for 100 people on BIRD
Street in New York would be sur
prised if it took similar survey of
some of the German towns where
taking bath in the summer time is
a rare occurrence and in winter time
an unheard of piece of recklessness.
The town Of Valendar, Germany, a
community of 1000 population, is
typical German town in that respect.
An American army officer, reaching
Vallendar after six weeks march to
the Rhine during which he had not
had bath'went at once to the burg
omaster and inquired for house in
which there was a bath tub. There
were two tubs in the town. One was
in hotel, but it was not connected
and ii leaked anyway. The other was
in private house, but it was full to
the top with turnips, buried in dirt
and stored for the winter.

A bill has been introduced in Con
gress to grant every discharged sol
der and sailor years pay. This is
the extreme proposed among numer-
Gus other bills which has been intro
duced favoring the paying of bonus
amounts to service men. Sums have
been suggested all the way from the
$50 bonus that they are now paying a
man upon discharge up to the years
pay just proposed by the North Da-
kota legislator. 1t Is doubtful whet-
her the government will see its way
clear to granting so much as such
an appropriation would amount to
over three billion dollars, but it is
possible that one of the many bills a
long these lines which is now before
Congress will be passed and that dis
charged soldiers will get something
more besides the $50. The rev bonus
If such thing is brought about will
probably be a lump sum given to each
man that has served and not awarded
according to the rank held while in
the service. II is also possible that the
government may follow the example
Of some of the states and grant this
bonus on condition that it be invested
in certain lone industries or local
development that the administration
may designate The chances are that
the discharged service men will re-
ceive more compensation than has al
ready been granted them

We are told that there is some
good in the meanest human being.
Likewise it is possible to extract a
few rays of sunshine out of the most
gloomy situation. Just at the pres.
ent time Bennington, like may sec
tons of the country, is afflicted with
"a dearth of tenements. There is not
a vacant house in the village and
there is little building in progress.
AS a result many families that have
heretofore lived in rented houses are
looking to purchase homes of their
own. The large majority OF transac.
lions in residence property drying
the present summer have been made
to persons who are buying places in
which to live. A community of homes
is the most desirable community on
earth. A town in which the resi-
dents live" under their own vine and
fg tree" has a stability that Is not
present where the property is owned
by few to whom the large majority
Is paying rent. Home-ownership has
more of real uplift than almost any
other feature OF community life. 1t
adds n certain kind of .selfrrespect
that is perhaps undefinable but which
is apparent wherever it exists.
