they were run on part time after all the available storage capacity was filled up.
 Along in February practically every manufacturer was in the same boat in so far as heavy accumulation of manufactured stock was concerned At about that time the raw materials had dropped to considerably under half their value at the time of the armistice, and then the manufactur- CTS began the glorious game of cut ting their prices to conform with the new price level of the raw materials
 This in spite of the fact that gly- cerine had dropped off to its pre-war price, and also that the goods on hand with the manufacturers had all been made at full wartime cost, or in fact at still higher costs because of the low production when storage space was exhausted.
 Relating In Soaps.
 Then began the relating to the pob- bers to the extent of as much as $1.50 per box, and immediately after this operation had been gone through raw materials began to go up, due somewhat to European exportations, with the result that soap manufactu- CTS were compelled to raise their prices again. In June and July the volume of business throughout the country and for export was exceed ingly large, but it is safe to predict that in the disposal of the large stocks accumulated in the late winter and early spring, the manufacturers as a rule lost money because these goods were made with high priced stock at a time of reduced factory production with consequent high over head costs. These features were not taken into consideration at all in the price of the soap to the trade.
 A Slump in Soap Demand. By September a decided slump had come about. With the talk emanating from Washington and going the round of the pre"s to the effect that the high cost of living was sure to come ; down very soon as a result or gov ernmental efforts, normal sales were impossible. Stocks accumulated in l the hands of the manufacturers again, and it was not until people be- i gan to realize, along in October and l November, that the talk about reduc- i ing the high cost of living was largely | political gossip, that they came into l the market and bought their normal i requirements of soap.

 SWEDISH CHURCH WE'LL UNDER WAY

According to statement made to- day by Rev. A. F. Engstrorn, pastor of the Swedish Congregational church Grove and Laurel avenue, the $7.000 fund with which to pay the last of the church debt is nearly collected and before the end of next month the pastor expects to have the whole amount. At present the sum of $4,- 500 has been collected.
 The drive for this was instituted last summer with the purpose of freeing the church from all debt but so willing and generous has been the response that it is now estimated that after the church debt Is paid off there will be amp1e7remaining to buy new organ for the church.
 In fact so sanguine Is the pastor and the congregation of this that an ordered and will be installed some time during the summer.

 Rev. Engstrom the present pastor of the church came to this city from Minneapolis where he was pastor of the Swedish temple there for 10 years the temple being one of the largest Swedish churches in the northwest. He has been in charge of the present church in Bridgeport for the past six years.

I had an amusing and an entirely unex-
 pected introduction to New York's chief
 executive.
 During my visit to French Lick I was
 accompanied by my young nephew, Jesse
 l.. Drennen, Jr., answering to the pre-
 cocious age of 5. and with a William S.
 Hart pistol and guns, he was holding
 up stages. Your money or your life
 with everybody he met and generally on
 the rampage.
 Governor Smith and his party attracted
 great deal of attention in their swag-
 ger golf clothes during the day and ap-
 bearing each evening at dinner in their evening clothes. and one delectable June evening, after the governor and his party
 had repaired to the verandah for a smoKe,
 young Jess decided that he'd go a-forag- ing.
 To my amazement he stopped stark still in front of the little group of men. and with his pistol pointed directly at them. he called out:
 Hands up, governor.
 And the governor, being the good sport that he is, promptly asked what /the
 young mans name was.
 Upon being Ntold that he was a loyal young democrat from Alabama, and that if the governor wanted to be President de'd Tend him a hand," the governor very eraciously took young Jess into the fold" and in this way I had the very delightful introduction that led to many charming little chats with the governor during my visit.
 The governor impresses the casual ob- server as a mere boy; he really is the youngest looking man to hold the po- sition that 1 have ever seen. his slight figure and boyish face smaking him veAy youthful in appearance.
 Governor Smith possesses all tht
 requisites of the successful politician savoir faire, cordiality, cleverness ane ability, and his smile would get hin almost anything he wants. When I told him that I was news paper person. and that he'd better b. careful how he talked to me, he laugh , ingly said that he devoted a certain part of his time every day to the news lpaper people when he was at the capi | tal-Albany

sition within the gift of the people of that great commonwealth Mir Hum-
 phrey believes in Governor Smith, and shows it in every way that it is possi-
 ble, from man to man. Of course, at the time I hadn't an idea that Governor Smiths name would come before the democratic convention , as a presidential possibility at San Francisco, and when it did, I was tre.
 mendously gratified and he certainly could have had my vote. I don't know whether this is going against the Alabama delegation, and what they
 were 'instructed' to do Cor whatever you call iD or not I don't know any thing about such things; but anyway, I don't retract what I have said. The governor is peach" and he's just beginning his big political career which I hope will end in his election some fine day as President of these great United States of ours And all the while MT. Taggart, the Gov ernor, Mir. Humphrey-every one of the
 political bosses at the pow-wow kept say- ing to me:
 MT. Murphy will be here Friday" And, of course, my curiosity was at fever heat-to meet and see face to face the big ''Tammany Chief" Friday was the day I was to leave and did leave, and MT. Murphy came in
 on the train left on-but as there was a twenty minutes intermission, Governor Smith very kindly introduced me to the "Tammany Boss"
 l I was busy looking at him-so busy studying the face and form of the man who has "bossed" Tammany for so many years that I almost forgot to ask him any auestffons, and the grace and tact | of the Governor saved the day, when he turned to the Big Boss" whose sturdy, serious face, framed with big Panama hat. was real study, and said: 'The lady belongs to the newspaper 1 fraternity.''
 | MT Murphy smiled.

 rapid-fire gait "I don't think they have treated you as nicely as you deserve; not
