The principal question of interest
both to producers and consumers of
lumber just now, says the American
Lumberman. is what effect on the
price of lumber will the advanced
freight rates have. The advance, how
ever, it holds will represent not one
per cent of the cost of an ordinary
house. Because of improved labor
supply. and better weather conditions,
it is reported mills have been enabled
to reach more nearly normal produc-
ton and as a rule there are ample
stocks with which to care for normal
demands, but the acute car shortagehas
made it extremely difficult to obtain
prompt shipments. The lumber indus
try is being deprived of badly needed
cars in order to put them into grain

Uncle Sans business is looking up.
Not only has the outlay on account of
the railroads stopped but the Panama
canal has begun to pay profit. For
the last fiscal year. the revenues of
the canal were sS.SOO.O0O. and the ex-
penses, including the whole cost of
civil administration of the Canal Zone,
sanitation, roads, and all the rest, were
$3.50, 900; leaving a surplus to the
good of $2.150,0 Those are the fig
ures for operation only. No account
is made in them OF interest on the ca

THE BOON OF HIGH PRICES.

Often it has been remarked that
there is a silver lining to every cloud
and that things not always are so bad
as they seem. These sayings are illus
trated by a writer in LesIie's who man
ages to evolve a degree of consolation
out of the high cost of living. A2par-
emily he has been taking stock of his
business of living, and summarizing
conditions says:
I find am not broke yet. and won

more money than I ever had in the

prices were much lower now do not

to me.
Going more into detail regarding
benefits derived from high prices the
writer continues:
In the good old days paid fifty to

RY DOROTHY DIX
worlds highest Paid Woman wrssaE.

Are You One OF These?-1.
Now there be five different varieties
of the masculine bore. each more
deadly and to be avoided than the
other
The first among these social calami-
ties is the Man Who Talks About Him
self.
He is the puffy geDtleman. always
among those present, who has a sixty
inch chest expansion and a five and
half hat band. And he is the hap
piest, cheeriest thing on EARTH for he
is always lost in joyous contem plation
of that marvel of perfection-himself
And he is bathed in a glow of self
righteousness, for he feels that he is
doing a noble and altruistic thing in
telling you how great and wonderful
he is and permitting you to admire
him
The Man Who Talks About Himself
has only one topic-Himsef. But that
is inexhaustible. He never wearies in
telling you of the most insignificant
tales of his life. He will spend hours
discoursing to you just why he eats
oatmeal for breakfast and takes his
steak medium done, and when he be-
gins on the thrilling serial of what he
said to the boss and what the boss
said to him, it is a continuous per-
Torrance which nothing save some
untoward accident can stop.
The Man Who Talks About Himself
sees all life in terms of his own age.
The most important thing that hap
pened in the great war was his buying
a liberty bond. Talk about the mas
terpieces of literature, and he hauls
out of his pocketbook and reads to
you a letter signed by Vox Populi that
he wrote to some newspaper. Speak
of great artists and he tells you that
he painted the house white with green
trimmings. Reker to some frightful
il catastrophe that has wrecked cities
and slain thousands, he breaks in with
an account of the time he sprained his
! big toe
Prudent people flee at his ap-
proach, and he attributes it to envy
and jealousy of him, and that no man
murders him is the signal triumph of
civilization over our natural impulses,
for any jury would acquit the slayer
on the ground of justifiable homicide,
committed in self defense
Close akin to the Man Who Talks
About Himself is the Man Who Rides
His Hobby.
Sometimes he is a stamp collector.
| Sometimes he is an amateur photog-
rapher. Sometimes he is a student of
! the, ancient Aztec ruins. Sometimes
| he is a prohibitionist, or a ritualist. or
a spiritualist. Sometimes he plays
( golf. Sometimes he is a motorist.
It doesn't make any difference. The
| minute you get in his society, he
mounts his hobby and drags you up
beside him. and you are off thru
! desert wastes of talk that make you
pray for speedy death to come and
mercifully end your sufferings-

others.
Moses, the Red Man.
The Indians at Phantom Cliff are
from the Santa Clara Pueblo. What
they think of their ancient ancestors,
they refuse to say. but they add po-
litely that they like the tourists. The
family consists of a man and his
squaw and five children. including a
young papoose, six months old, who

shake his tiny. brown hand, and to
photograph him. Moses" said his
mother proudly (the young chiefs
name is Moses) have his picture
taken one hundred times a day"
After each sightseeing party has
been thru the cliff dwellings, it is led
10 the curio shop and shown various
strange curios for sale, including some
deadly Indian clubs with which the
squaws of early day were wont to
visit the local battle fields and kill
the wounded. There is also an Indian
maiden's wedding dress, made OF
leather, in which an Indian maiden is
occasionally married near the cliff
dwelling ruins as a special attraction
to visiting tourists.
In the midst of examining these
relics, the sightseers were startled by
a sudden war whoop, and there or
the front walk, just outside the curic
shop are gathered the smaller mem
bers of he Indian family. clad in red
and green war apparel, feahered head
dresses and moccasins. brandishing
tomahawks and capering about in q
tferocious fashion. Seated on the door
step is their father, also much painted
and befeathered, beating "a tom ton
to their antics. At last, after severa
rounds of dancing and yelping like
coyotes, the children pause. and en-
tering the curio shop. sedately pas
their feathered hats to the delighted
tourists.

is THERE TOO MUCH MONEY?

IS THERE TOO MUCH MONEY?
In an article in the Annalist, Prof.
W. Z. Chancellor. of the chair of eco
nomics of the College of Wooster,
Ohio, says that according to such in
formation as I can get, we now have
about $4,000. 100000 of currency. In
1913 we had, according to the pub
lished government reports, $780,,
600, 900 of currency" He then pro-
ceeds to show that the relation be-
tween amount of money and prices is
marked-the amount of money in 1913
being only about 20 per cent of that
now in existence, while the dollar now
will buy only about 40 per cent as
much as the dollar OF 1913.
Mr.. Chancellor also points out what
he deems a serious error in the man
agement of American finance in per
hitting the amount of federal reserve
notes to increase after the armistice,
when the total was only s2,40O, 00O,-
900, a small fraction more than two
thirds of what the total is now.
But it must be apparent to the pro-
lessor that the increase in federal re-
serve currency was in response to the
demands OF business. Even now, there
appears to be insufficient money in
circulation, since interest rates are
high and it is difficult. to obtain cap
ital on any terms.
Restoring the amount of outstand-
ing paper to what it was at the close
of the war will have serious conse-
quences unless there be a correspond
ing reduction of prices thru increased
production. Already a warning may
be seen in the increasing number of
mercantile failures following a cur
| tailment of loans by the banks.
Increasing prices necessitate an in
crease in the volume of money and an
| increase in the volume of money helps
to increase prices. Lowering the cost
of production will lower prices, and
raise the purchasing power of money.
thus rendering unnecessary so large a
volume of it. When money is not
needed it will retire. Any attempt to
force it is likely to prove disastrous
