THE HIGH LIVING COST

Within the past few months. prices
OF many important food products have
dropped materially. and the indications
are that further reductions may be ex-
Aoected. Tho greatest reductions have
zen in meats and particularly. in the
cost OF pork. Flour has been slightly
lowered. and the eNceSsivr costs Of
vegetables have been lesscned. On the
other hand famine in sugar is threat
encd and costs Of clothing. boots and
shoes have either; remained stationary
or gpn" upward. On the whole. how
ever. the living costs Of the average
families are. undoubtedly. slightly low
or today than they were two or three
months ago. and there are fair PROS
Npects that the trend towards lower
prices will be continuous.
This would certainly be tho case were
il not for the disturbed labor condi-
:sons. %hich arc greatly lcssening pro-
duction, and decreasing the country's
supplies OF useable goods. The only
sure cure for high living costs is in
speeding up production: in returning to
work, the hundreds of thousands OF
men who have been idle from one cause
or another during the past two years.
Our armies in France. and in our con-
centration camps have been demobiliz-
ed. and while soldiers generally have
returned 70 work their increased pro-
duct;ve capacity has been counter
balanced by labor disturbances. wide
spread and far reaching, In spite OF
the threatened coal strike we believe
that industrial disorders are growing
less in frequency and in effect. The
!. 10 beginning 10 make itself felt.
. strong sentiment is developing every
where against preachers Of disorder and
!, Of class strife. and this. sooner or later.
will operate towards the effective re-
. sumption Of general industry.
Put the mills. the mines. the factor
les and the farms Of the United States
: to work to their full capacity and the
high cost OF living and hard times will
vanish within q few months.

thoughtful paper read before the
National Gas Convention in this city.
1t is, Of course. an unQuestioned fact
that the supply Of natural gas in the
Ohio valley has been very greatly dim
inishcd. Much gas has been shame
fully wasted. and many methods now in
use in gas consumption are not econ
omical
If the consuming public in West vir-
ginia. snd elsewhere. could be assured
for IN indefinite time of reasonable
supply " natural gas, probably a much
higher price than is now paid would DO
cheerfully granted for domestic gas. II
is by no means clear. however. that
higher prices will mean more gas, and
before the Public Service Commission
considers the question OF price at all 1t
ought 10 consider the means that are
to be used. and the steps that are to be
taken to conserve natural gas for do
nestle consumption. If the homes Of
many thousands of people can be made
more comfortable by an abundant sup
ply OF natural gas. not only this year
but for many years TO come. and II q
wise program looking 10 that end Is un-
dertaken. II may we'll receive the en-
enlargement Of the Public Service Com
mission. and the approval Of domestic
consumers. The natural gas compan-
les arc public utilities. performing q
service to the people quite as essential
as the railroad. the electric light, or the
street car companies. Their business
however. does not have that stable
character that other public utilities
have. The production OF natural gas IN
the future is likely to cost a great deal
more than it has in the past. and any
Of our cities and towns. doubtless. will
be glad to pay more for natural gas II
they can be assured that liberal
amount Of increased payments will be
used to ind new gas territory. drill new
gas wells and insure production in
stead Of being pocketed as profits BY
owners Of the natural gas companies

Our Christmas trees and stockings will
be supplied this year with toys almost
exclusively OF American design and
manufacture.
Before the war ciEhty-fiv" percent Of
the toys brought into America came from
Germany. In a single year Germany cN-
ported SIS. O00.p 900 worth of toys. one
third Of which came to the United States.
The formidable forces Of little tin and
lead soldiers which formerly came from
Germany are now h"inG initiated with
success ut homo. With the high cost of
materials In Germany ii is exceedingly
doubtful that she will ever regain even u
small proportion Of this valuable export
trade.
The toy trade is typical OF surpris-
Ing number of manufactured articles.
America was amazed at the outbreak OF
the war to find how dependent she had
become upon Europe for Z variety Of
manufactured products indispensable" to
her daily life. Today VIC are king an
