OLD SEPTEMBER.
Old September pleoses me,
Like the way he tints a tree,
Like the way he comes to call
With some trinket for US all,
In the pockets OF his vest.
Bringin' things we like the best.
Apples. peaches, pears an plumg
Load the table when he comes
An for something extra fine,
Grapes are ready on the vine.
OH September doesn't show
Wrinkied face or hair Of snow
He is Ike soEne men who hide
Age beneath glad outside,
Coverin' up his lines o care
With smile that's always fair,
Joinin' every song that's sung,
Just as youthful as the young,
Ready for round o. fun
Or the task that's to be done
Old September never grieFes
Bout the fallin' Of the leaves,
Never Erumbies or complains
bout his numerous aches an pains
Just goes traipsin' round the place
With bright an smilin' face
Splashin' coiors here-an' there
Till there's beauty everywhere
Scatterin' happiness an cheer
TIL the whole worlds glad he's here.
when old age gets hold o. me,
Like September I would be,
Want to keep up with the throDg,
An go marchin' right along
Want to putter round the place
With smile upon my face
Sharin' IN the work an fun
Just as young as anyone.
When old age gifts hold O. me,

GETTING BACK TO NoRAIA1CY.

D."
It is generally agreed that the peak
of high prices has been passed and
that period of deflation apd falling
values is about to set in. All thru the
period of rising prices millions of
Americans have grumbled about the
high cost Of living. Their protests
have ranged from jocosity to rage
They have pilloried~ the profiteer in
print it not in practice; they have
mourned for the good old days when
sugar was cents a pound and g
durable suit of clothes could be bought
for $40. One might have thought
that in spite of the country's obvious
prosperity thera had never been such
a time of general misfortune in the
past or was likely to be in the years
to come
But these same millions OF Ameri-
cans may discover that the high cost
Of living marked a very comfortable
era in comparison with what is in
store for them. That has been the
general experience in other times of
deflation and curtailment. During
the period OF high prices there have
been high wages with which to meet
them. Pay envelopes have been fat
ter than ever before in any time \or
CLINE. Never have the wage earners
OF the United States been able 70 af-
ford so many luxuries; extravaganza
has run riot; silk shirts and expensive
furs have been purchased recklessly;
factory workers have bought automo-
biles; they are not merely savings
bank depositors but holders of Lib
erty bonds, and often of other securi-
ties.
Now comes the downward era, the
retrenchment period. the time for
pulling in sail. There will be fewer
long motor trips for pleasure solely,
a larger attention to domestic >econr
omy, a greater carefulness in expendi-
lures for entertainment and dress.
And it will be fortunate If the defla-
ton does not go great deal farther
and require the most rigid figuring in
innumerable households.
The change from existing condi-
lions is inevitable, but few have cause
to try to hurry it. There are not many
persons in this country who are not
better off than they were before the
war. II they hope still further to i'm
prove their condition thru a~decline
in prices they are likely to be disap-
pointed. The prices of commodities
will decline but they will carry wages
down with them.
There is an old tale of an Oriental
potentate who advertised that he
would relieve the people of their
bothersome burdens, All they had to
do was to conffde their worries to his
keeping and go away comforted in
mind and spirit. But no sooner had
they done so. no sooner had they en-
Enthusiastically Invested themselves of
their nagging cares and responsibili-
flies and departed. than they began re-
tracing their steps to the wizard and
begging him to give them back their
discarded worries. for. they said, those
that they had laid aside had been
succeeded by others more grievous to
bear.

FORUM COMMITTEE
TO. PRESENT THREE
PLANS FOR CELEBRATION

AS result of their meeting with
Secretary Clarke held Wednesday
morning, the committee appointed
by the Open Forum meeting will
present three plans for the consider
alton of the directors of the Cham
Der of Commerce. 1t should be
clearly borne in mind that the de-
cision to celebrate rests entirely with
the directors, who are acquainted
with the local situation and whose
judgment is entirely dependable in
such matters. This is a political year.
the time perhaps is too short for the
type of celebration Augusta ought
to have, there is possibly not enough
local sentiment in favor of it, the
city cannot afford to expend any
suitable amount for the event, the
pressure of living costs and the need
of economy in anticipation Of hard
winter season, are all reasonable OBJ
jections that will have to be met. On
the other hand celebrations increase
trade. Augusta needs the relaxation
of a holiday, her people ought to
stay here for their fun rather than
go elsewhere. the same amount will
leave the city anyway as would be
put into a celebration for the peo-
pie want the fun, baseball and good
clean sports have real value for the
young people, and Augusta as the
capital of the State ought certainly
to stage some sort of dignified

The first plan calls for a band
concert, and a historical literary
program on Sunday, a Labor Day
parade, baseball. fireman's muster.
sports. Maine movies, and fireworks
on Monday, and an automobile pa
rade. a water carnival. and a Mardi
Gras on Tuesday. The second plan
calls for Sunday exercises as above,
a fireman's muster, sports, parade
and Mardi Gras- on Monday. The
third plan calls for historical ex-
ercises and a community sing on
Sunday, Labor Day to be observed
in the ordinary way.
These three plans will come before
the directors next Tuesday afternoon
for action, the committee under the
craftsmanship of Charles Bilodeau u.
appearing before the board to pres
ent their findings. In case the d.
rectors decide to hold the celebra-
ton, proper committees will be ap-
pointed and the work begun at once.

day event and is pouring out thou

hors have performed their duties of
office?
