NATIONAL VICTORY
BUILDING ENDORSED
Col. Jones, American Legion,
Believes 1t Will Meet
Great Need.

Col. f. Lester Jones. commander of
George Washington Post. No. l. OF the
American Legion, the new organization
composed of veterans of the world
war, has heartily Endorsed the plan of
the George Washington Association to
erect national victory memorial build
ing on land granted to it by Congress.
II am for it first as patriotic
proposition said Col. Jones. The
structure will commemorate the deeds
of the men of 10 and the men of II.
But above all it will give Washington
what it needs-a structure In which
big gatherings of national and inter-
national Importance may take place.

WAR PRICES AND PRICES OF THE
 REIMBURSEMENT

The U. s. Department of Labor through the Information and Educa- tion Service, is issuing the results of a study of prices during the war and readjustment period made by the Division of Public Works and Con struction Development. Discussing the Civil War period as a precedent for war prices, the report says:
 "A comparison of the course of prices during the Civil War and the present war shows many points of similarity during the two war periods. The course of prices during the pres ent period of readjustment and the corresponding period following the Civil War show more points of differ ence than of similarity.
 During both wars the wholesale prices of commodities in general rose steadily thrdough the war period. The rise during the Civil War period, taking the year 1860 as the base, runs up to somewhat higher level than the rise during the present war. In both wars. building materials rose in price. but they did not at either time reach levels as high as the price levels of other commodities.
 ''At the beginning of the year 1865, the end of the Civil War being in sight, wholesale prices broke sud- denly and violently. During the first six months of the year, prices in gen eral fell off 2z per cent. from the high level of January. However. the break In wholesale prices, though un- precedented in violence and accom- panied by the unsettling influence of the end of the great war, produced no business crisis or depression.

THE VICTORY LOAN,

The case for the Victory Liberty very able publicity writers The home newspaper can not say anything new on so thoroughly covered a sub ject. Yet The Times wishes to put every ounce of it's influence behind the men who are working for the success of the loan. It hopes with all it's heart to see Bridgeport go over the top.
 It comes down largely to matter of individual and community pride. Everyone knows the absolute neces- sity that this money be raised. Nearly 2,000,0o0 men are still in Europe. They must be brought home, they must be supported until they get home. The United States govern ment must pay it's bills for munitions and supplies ordered before the close of this war. There is no possible way of escaping these obligations.
 If by any possibility this loan should not be taken, the government could raise the high taxes still high CT. and settle its bills at once. But most people would regard that as an injury to business and involving much personal inconvenience The loan, however, will be taken. It is now simply a question whether each in dividual and each community wants to do it's fair share
 The man who can look back on v is war and feel that he took his full share of bonds and a little more, is going to feel a lot better about 1t as the years go on If he showed him self stacker. he will always feel a.

Through the latter half of 1865 prices recovered from the low point until in January, 1866, they stood just 16 per cent. below the level of January, 1865. From the beginning of 1S66 prices dropped slowly downward. They did not reach the Vpre-war level until the year 1878. As is well known, during that period of inflated currency, gold was at a premium. However, ccm- modity prices remained above the prices of gold up to and including the year 1877.
 Building materials declined in price along with other commo odities during the first half of the year 1885. However, the fall was less than in the case of other commo odities- Whereas commodities in general dropped 27 per cent. building mater ials dropped only 141z per cent The recovery during the second half of the Year was more marked prices of building materials returning to the level of the last quarter of the year 1864, and remaining at that level for period Of a year before the decline set in. The index figure for the build- ing materials group remained higher than that for all commodities up to anu 4ICI1olIS SAlS year 1o
 The currency was on a distinctly unsound basis in the Civil War re- construction period. The sharp huc-s tuations n prices gave rise to much speculation and the opportunities for development of the resources of the country, such as unused land, rivers and harbors, building of railroads, led to over-expansion of business result ing in the financial panic of 1873. This panic was not accompanied by any sharp decline in prices.
 AS was stated above, it was 13 years after the Civil War before prices returned to the pre-war level. The principal cause of the return to the pre-war level was the fact that there was such abundant opportunity for the development of new and more economic methods of production in the shape of new forms of machinery and new kinds of business organiza- tions. These opportunities we do not have at the present day in any meas ure comparable with the previous period"

As soon as women have the vote

she is going to be ''gay young girl"
AS it is, no one woule ssuspect her of
being past seventy. And she likes to
tell stories on herself. This is one
she told in Indianapolis to a group
of friends:
"When I was in California recently,
folks kept coming up to me and say

surprised tones: Well, it began to
wear on me. Why shouldn't I look
young? SO when young girl came
up and said it for the 'steenth time,

"And then I learned the reason for
all the surprise. The newspapers had
been told that I was in California in

c. F. Luessen has pasture west Of
town near the dump grounds, which
said pasture is beautifed by nice
groves of trees, making it an ideal
spot for picnics and "sech.." He
also has considerable stock at times in
this pasture which is valuable. Many
young people have taken . notion to
this pasture for taking walks and
while engaged in their pastime Of
making love to each other forget to
close the gate, consequently the stock
gets out and then there is the dickens
to pay. c. F. says he doesn't mind
these young people using his pasture
for lovers lane, but if they would
only close the gate it would be all
right. The other night the gate was
left open and herd Of pigs escaped
causing much trouble. Be reasonable
young people, and shut that gate.
