SLUMP IN PRICES

There has been no big drop In the
cost OF the necessities OF life as yet,

declared today that prices will remain
stationary at least until the frst OF the
year in most lines, but others admitted
that the determination OF the public to
buy only what Ia absolutely necessary.
and that at the lowest possible price, Is
having it's effect.
SO far the reductions have been
noticed In wholesale markets only. IL
the public continues an orgy OF spend.

prices, and they will absorb the benefit
Of lowered wholesale prices, as well as
the extra charge they put on their goods
at retail. II. however. say. the iner.

force prices down.
Cotton yarn prices are low as cam

in cottors, einghams and hannels.
Hosiery and underwear are being Of

soon to be reflected in lower retail
prices.
shoe prices are somewhat lower than
they were a year ago, but the dealers

the skill Of the great industrial exec
utive and the common sense OF the
toiler. Of one man Judgment we have
had enough. We call aloud again for
the meeting Of minds of n united coun-

Friendly to Business
, II like TO think of government
which guarantees to the people of the
United States the maintenance of a
high standard of business honor. which
preserves fair competition and acts eff
rCctively to check profiteering and dis
ourage wasteful methods of marketing
and distribution. But like to think
# a government friendly to American
business and unwilling to indulge itself
in mere irritating suspicion and inter-
ference.
Il look forward to a government
which will have the sense to keen out
of activities which good. old, American
genius and initiative can do better. ]
look forward to government which
will gain more information. and have
more influence in American business.
look forward to government which
will invite American business to give
It confidence and its condolences.
II do not want to see American
government engaging in American
business. but ! do want to zee Ameri-

Of American business. / want to see
the government partner Of American

"potins on Age Means
Being Bettoeen Fl and %

A dispute over the meaning of
voting on age" is presented by Mrs.
Eunicc G.. Burr, 334 Jackson street,
Hartman. Pa.
Two sides have been taken. She
writes
!. That a person il voting on age
when he votes a month before he is
twenty one years old.
.. That a person is voting on age
when he Is between the ages OF
twenty .one and twenty-five years.
and that no one can vote until his
twenty first birthday.
The frat proposition il incorrect; I;
the second is correct. The reason why
the first proposition is incorrect is
that person must be twenty -one
years old on or by election day or
he cannot vote at all.
To vote on age" the person must
be over twenty .one ycnrs and not
twenty two on election day. a per-
son voting on age" need not pay a
poll tax.

KEEP EYE ON BUTCHERS
Housewives Warned Against Tricks
Of unserupuIous Ones

Housewives are being asked by the
county commissioners Bureau Of
Weights and Measures to check up care
fully on the prices their butchers charge
for meat. ..
1t is explained many butchers pretend
to sell meat at reduction. then throw
II on the scales, glance at the weight and
exaggerate II to make up for the ad-
vertised reduction.
The way to do. It Is suggested. is for
the purchaser to ask exactly what the
meat weights, then calculate just what
it should cost.
The defective scale and short weight
basket have almost been eliminated. it
is pointed out. but the new scheme nuli.
fies efforts to give the customers n square
deal and cut the cost of living.
According to the report for the first
six months Of the year. 1853 scales
were approved. $50 condemned and 415
confscated. Thousands of baskets were
examined and hundreds of wagons OF
coal. reweighed. One Of the most recent
weight shortages was uncovered by Spe-
cial Inspector Robert Aiken. who found
certain dealers selling short weight
grape baskets.

Monstrosity of Waste
"In good sense, and in good con.
science. it has been necessary for all
of us TO recognize that we have urrn
dragged toward chaos. A nation which
prideS itself upon its business sense has
been forced to see its government. which
badly needed efficiency and reorganiza

waste and slipshoddiness. And that I'D
ministration, almost innocent, we may
say. of business principle. has not stop

uninvited. and to create dissension at

ton which could not attend to its ~~n
business well. with new economn
theories. with experiments, with &c

government should participate. and
with laws and executive orders which
failed to curb profitcering or contribute
to our high standard OF American busi-
ness. has reached out it's hinderinb
hands in menace to American business
and American prosperity.
II look forward to an America
where all Americans will put their
shoulders to the wheel and in a united

than by words.
