Give the Consumer a Chance
fIrdianapoliS Starr

The government should lose no
time in taking the S226 limit off the
price of wheat. That was establish
ed as a war emergency measure to In
duce maximum production and to
stabilize prices. The war is over
and the important problem before
the people of this country and of the
world is to get back to a peace basis;
to get away from the high cost OF llV
ing which war demands inflicted up
on us along with the consumers IN
war-torn Europe.
The farmer was guaranteed $40
a bushel for his wheat, and he should
have it. The government gave that
promise when it had to make aoso-
lutely certain that there would be no
shortage in the food supply The
farmer responded promptly and Is
about to market the greatest crop III
the history of the country. He VIII
get what was promised to him on his
billion bushels of wheat, but that
does not imply that the consumer
should be called on to pay what is IN
effect an item of the nations war ex-
pense.
The logical course is to remove the
50 2s restriction and let the farmer
in the market That probably would
sell his wheat for what it is worth
be something like dollar less than
the guaranteed price. Let the gov
eminent make up the difference be-
tween the market price and the $2.2o
To be paid to the farmer. That would
bring the loss on the government
and it would be paid out of the Treas
ury.

WORK HARD AND DON'T WORRY
If There May Be Said to Be a Recipe
for Long and Happy Life,
Why, There 1t Is.

America is anxiously scanning the
casualty lists these days poignantly
sensitive to the dread possibilities Of
war. Yet, if we paused to think, we
should find, as the Equitable Life AS
surance society has deducted from its
vast experience in mortality data, that
IVORY kills more men than war and
disease put together" We read Of those
killed in action, dead of wounds, &C
cidents or disease at the front, and
our hearts are wrung for the loss OF
these brave boys, but day by day
larger company falls out Of our own
ranks here at home to answer the last
call, the Pittsburgh Dispatch observes.
Some are spoken of as victims
of hard work, of overexertion, but II
the truth were known, 1t would be
found it was worry that fastened their
end. Hard work never killed anyone.
1t is worry that kills.
A young man, for instance, rises to
the head Of a good business or to some
other responsible position. Perhaps
he begins to slacken, to ease up a lit
tie, and leaves the details to his sub
ordinates. Things do not move as
smoothly, and, when he wakes up, he
finds he has lost his grip Of affairs and
begins to worry. His friends think
hard work killed him, but 1t was worry
that shortened his years. While he
was fighting his way upward his work
engrossed him, as 1t will any man
capable of a career. Work left him no
time for worry. Keep pegging away.
Worry is the grain of dust that up
sets the fine balance of the. human
mechanism, brings loss of power, SLOW
ing down the engine and ultimately
racking it to pieces.
Bear in mind<that "worry kills more
men than war and disease put togeths
err" and so shape your life and hab-
ituate your mind that you cannot be
victim.

Body Of Suicide Found in
Woods Near This City

The body of q. H. Ralston, a pa
tient of the Western State Hospital,
who had been missing since Tuesday,
was found in the woods on the
Churchville road, with his throat
cut, about two miles from this city,
Sunday afternoon about o'clock.
Ralston was out on 9O-day fur
Tough, and had started for his home
in Mcdowell, Highland county, in
care of his nephew, Jessie L. Ralston.
He managed to escape near the water
works and was not seen again until
his body was found as stated above.
1t is supposed that he committed
suicide on Tuesday. The body was
removed to the undertaking parlors
of Hamrick and Company. Sheriff
Wilson was notified but no inquest
wasdeemed necessary.
The remains were taken by rela-
tives to the home Of the deceased at
Seldom Seen, near Mcdowell, for in

UTILIZE. COMBINES OF DOGS
English Women Making Articles for
the Red Cross Service From
Somewhat Odd Materials.

The picturesque spinning wheel Is
coming into it's own again in Eng
land, but in certain instances an un=
usual material Is employed to work
upon. The tiny pet dogs, so very
numerous in dog-loving England, are
sdoing their bit" Watch the spinner
at the wheel and guess what her soft
and fluffy raw material is? Just
simply the combings of Fido and Fiji,
and host of similar pets. The SOFT
ness of these combings suggests be-
fore-the,war Shetland, and the wool
produced provides for jerseys, muf-
fers, bed-socks, and operation stock
ings, of which the Red Cross say they
can never have too many. Of course
these doggie combings receive special
treatment before they reach the spin
ming wheel. It seems that the use OF
dogs hair for wool manufacture is not
new, as a lady In England tells of her
mother having a frieze suit years ago,
the material for which was contrib
uted by a favorite Chow. Gossip has
it in London that only the fear Of
looking absurd prevented the wom
ems branch of the ministry Of national
service from instituting a scheme for
collecting dogs hair. Perhaps the lit
tle dogs are trying to justify their tiny.
lives, In the face Of suggestions that
their food Is more needed In England
now than their presence.

West Virginia Pays Debt
To Her Mother"

West Virginia today paid its fifty
nine-year-old debt to Virginia. The
transaction took place in the Wizard
Hotel, Washington, D. c., in the
apartment of Representative Henry
D. Flood, dean of the Virginia dele
cation in Congress, who is member
of the Virginia commission.
The check was for S1,072,000 as
first payment, and bonds were given
for $13,500,000 additional.
The check was received by Judge
w. f. Rhea, chairman of the Virgin
ia commission, and promptly deposit
ed in the Riggs National Bank TO the
credit of the commission Of the COM
monwealth of Virginia, Judge w. +.
Rhea, chairman, and Joseph Button,
secretary.
This debt grew out of the fact that
a part of Virginia was taken to- form
the state of West Virginia, and Vlr-
GINA has long contended that the
counties in the cutoff section should
be obliged to pay their proportionate
part of the Old Dominion's indebted
ness.-Washington Evening Star.

Il enter the prison door d flaming

able"
So spoke Eugene V. Debs when he
passed through the door of the West
Virginia Penitentiary to begin serv-
ing a sentence of 10 years for viola
tionNof the Espionage Act.
AS mere words they ring we'll.
Some Americans will think and speak
of them as inspired and from the lips
of martyr An overwhelming ma
iority of straight-thinking Ameri-
cans, however, will murmur Chunk"
or something of that significance
when they consider the source of the
words.
Nobody in this country seeks to
conquer the soul of Debs. He is be-
ing dealt with as plain violator OF
the laws VI LIS ShIAeiSo W
neither more nor less consideration
than is given to any other deliberate
law-breaker. Nobody is thinking
particularly about tanning his spirit
or about keeping him from being "a
flaming revolutionist." He can flame
all he pleases, so long as he flames
within the law.
Debs famed beyond the bounds OF
the law, and that is what got him in
20 his present plight. He is to be
punished, or restrained of his liberty,

,all it, simply because he fouted a

challenged the authorities whose
business it was to see that the statute
was obeyed.
