cation. News comes from Louisville,
Ny, that the Methodist Episcopal
Church and the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, through a Joint com
mission OF the two bodies. have agreed
10 merge. IL will be several years,
however, before the real union will
take place, as the plan as outlined a,

the Methodist Episcopal Church, at
Des MONIES, Iowa, in MAY, 1921, and

merger will be TO close UP competing
churches of the same denomination,
and unite the members in one strong
church body. In Shepherdstown, where
there have been two churches ever
since the Civil War, there will be but
one church, and this is recognized as
being sensible and desirable thing
Methodists all over the country are
gratitied to know that at last the
merger seems in sight

HERES no relief from the high
cost OF living in sight so far. On the
contrary, many articles are still! 90
ing up and up, and nothing is as
stunning a lower tendency. The gov
eminent seems utterly unable to curb
prices, but this IS no wonder-the
remedy lies with the people them
selves. If they would simply restrain
themselves in the use of sugar for q
few weeks or month or two SUGAR
would drop like a plummet. If thew
would refuse to buy clothing and
shoes at the present outrageous
prices, down would come clothing and
shoes! And so with almost every
other commodity.
1t may be true that the people are
fools for allowing themselves to be
so taken advantages of; but wouldn't
The manufacturers and dealers in gen.
eral be equally foolish if they refrain
cd from such ripe pickings?

VAST quantities of liquor have
been shipped to Cuba and other
islands contiguous to the United
States, with the hope that the bibulous
will flock to the nearest point and
drink up the supply. 1t is not likely
that the thirst will be as keen, how
ever, as when there was a saloon on
every corner.
