The people themselves arc respons,
IDLE for the high prices they are pay
ing for their goods. From newspaper
reports, and from conversations with
merchants Mt home, the conclusion is
certain, that not the merchant alone
but the people themselves are re-
sponsible for the high cost of living
these days. Many people like high
prices, says the Times Herald, "for
it is high prices that give them the
best goods" Cheap goods are not
wanted, they tell us, and are not
salable.
Our people are luxurious, which
means extravegant and wastefuI
Money is plentiful and not appreciat-
ed.
A carpenter remarked the other
day that he was getting $3.50 per
day, but said "that's nothing. 1t won't
buy anything much" When money is
plentiful as now it is spent freely.
Price is of no moment The merchant
knows this, and asks what he pleascs.
If the people would act sanely and
wisely, Gas they will wish they had
done,) and practice economy in buy
ing, prices would soon become lower.
The merchants would be willing and
anxious to sell, instead of indcpcn-
dent and grasping, as now.
The retail merchants are ut the
mercy of others higher up. The jobb-
ers and wholesalers are at the mercy
of others still higher up, it is claim
ed, and so it goes. The slogan, "buy
less" should be adopted by all mer-
chants and consumers. instead of "buy
now" as is urged in many instances,
on the ground that prices are likely
to advance. TO produce more and
consume less" should be the motto.
Until some such course is inaug-
urated and pursued, the cost of liv-
ing must remain abnormally high in
spite of any law or laws, the govcrn-
ment may pass.

other new 1t looked as tho this was
the case, not so. Inquiry brought out,
that both cars were purchased about
the same time, and had been run
about same number of miles. The
difference was in the care taken by
the owners and chauffers. One man
drove like mad over rough roads. The
other was careful, and eased over
rough places. One never cleaned up
his car, allowing the mud to cake and
destroy the paint. The other took a
few moments of time TO clean the mud
and dust away and wipe his car over
occasionally with an oiled cloth. And
there you are. So much-if not all,
depends upon who owns and runs the
car, it matters little what make of
car it is.

A DANGER SIGNAL.

During the war we saved enough
money by economzing to buy Thrift
Stamps in piles and Liberty and
Victory Bonds in lunches, and gave
thousands to war work etc. Mr.. Hoov-
or asked us to observe wheatless and
mcatless days and we did. We wore
our old clothes, patched up old shoes,
cut out much buying. AT Mr.. Wilson's
request every automobile wheel in the
United States stopped stock still. We
lived the simple life but not idle.
Lawyers, teachers, preachers and
business men left their desks and
closed their Offices to 20 out and speak
in the various campaigns. The women
worked day and night, and cried ana
prayed. We won the war at home by
cconomiZing and sacrificing for the
support of the boys Mt the front. The
war closed and we mt once tried to
and have succeeded, in forgetting it
all. We plunged again into our old
prc-war life and habits. We cut loose.
Money was plentiful, and "take no
thought of tomorrow" was adopted
as the motto and we are living up to
it. The newspapers are noting the
unprecedented extravaganza, and al
most reckless expenditure of money
MI over the country. Workmcn, who
heretofore received from two to four
dollars day, now get six and ten,
and more, and spend it all.
Pleasure seekers and joy riders
crowd the railroad cars and the high
ways of the country. The people are
rolling in wealth and luxurious-and
shall it he said "riotous living"
Now, somebody speaks up and says,
"what have you got to do with it?
1t is none of your business mot
your funeral. We will spend our own
money as we please, and resent any
mcddling with what is exclusively our
own business"
All right, correct. But for the flu
ture good n warning cry is raised.
Remember a. rainy day" is coming.
Money will not he 90 plentiful ~!
ways. The time must come when tn
wolf will claw and scratch at the
door. The cashing and spending Of
War Saving Stamps and Liberty
bonds will be regretted at time
when need presses sorc!y. Wouldn't
1t be best to practice Il little war time
economy and save money for the tight
times that are almost certain to come?
We are eating, wearing and spending
much more than health demands or
good business Judgment sanctions.
Why not call halt and make to our
selves friends of the mammon Of I'M
righteousness?
Now, call this writing pessimistic
you choose to do so. Cal! il "meddl-
ing with other peoples business if it
so strikes you, but if you are sensible
and prudent you must and will adj

whether you adopt its suggestions or
not, but we doubt that single read

ton or give any heed thereto.

TWO NOTABLE STRIKES.

A week or so ago the Boston police
force inaugurated strike of all the
force of the city.
This week the steel workers strike
was called, and on the first day. Mon
day, $4,000 men quit work, accord
ing to dispatches, and in riot which
followed seven deaths resulted in IL
fight between guards and the strik-
ers. Two of the victims of the riot
were woman.
From what can be learned from
published reports, both these strikes
were utterly and entirely without "A
shadow of justification. Neither
strike was for higher wages.
The Boston police struck, if we
understand it, because permission 70

The steel workes strike, ole of The
most gigantic attempted, seems to
have been the result Of an attenut to
unionize all the steel workers of the
United States, an effort which has
been contemplated and brewing 70,

SOW WHEAT EARLY.

Wheat sown in September and
early October makes a better yield
than if sownlater. Wheat sown from
Sept. goth to both yields at least rs
per cent more wheat than if sown n
month later, conditions being equal.
Besides, early sowing means heavy
sod covering as protection to the
land during the winter, and fine
grazing for calves and sheep in early
spring. This is the conclusion of
successful experience and observation.

BEGIN TO RENEW FORESTS
England and Scotland Have Already
Started to Replace Trees Cut
Down During the War.

England and Scotland are preparing
to replant forests which have been cut
to provide war supplies. They are not
waiting until peace is concluded, but
are doing it now. Never before nave
those countries been SO bare of timber
Hunting ranges and sporting grounds
have been sacrificed to supply NUM-
ton factories at home and armies
abroad The old forests were pri-
marily ornamental and incidentally
useful, but those which are now be-
ing provided for will be primarily use
full and incidentally ornamental, says
Robert III. Moulton in Popular Mechan-
les Magazine
In the United States we are not in
so much need of tree planting as they
are in the British isles. But there are
two kinds of timber which the war
demand has greatly depleted, and
they are kinds OF much importance
locust and black walnut
There is another point to be consid-
cred in the planting of these trees
They can be grown on sandy tracts OF
land which are now considered or no
value, and thus reclaim the land.
An excellent illustration of what can
be accomplished in the way of reclaim
ing useless land through the planning
OF trees has been carried out during
the last six or eight years by a res
ident of Whiteside county, Illinois In
these years he has accomplished the
seemingly impossible task of turning
some 10 acres of sand, formerly as bar
rem as the desert of Sahara. into a
dourishing forest. Nor is that all !;
for this forest, acting as a sand bind
err has been the means of saving other
fertile acres from the inroads of the
drifting sand, and the total result be
ing that the farm has increased sew
eral times in value. The sandy tracts,
which, before being planted to trees,
were practically worthless, are now
worth anywhere from $50 to 500 an
acre.

lures of the program.
Their songs cover a wide variety
and besides the songs of trench and

the eternally interesting themes of
love and peace.
The boys will render the first half

songs and love ballads of the dough-

entertainment as only male voices of
perfect blend and harmony can give.
