FOR HIGH PRICES
 NOW ENDED

s The downward revision of prices continues to be the factor dominating. the general business outlook The movement is a natural and inevitable corrective of the unstable condition created in the previous period of rising prices, reckless public buying and widespread speculation. Falling prices are not a recent deVelopment- Before the close of 1919 the prices fo a number of important commodities had begun to decline. By spring of 1920 a definite downward trend had been established. Since then the movement has been accelerated, until within recent weeks it has forced gen eral recognition that the period of ex- cessive buying at rising prices has definitely ended. Business must now go forward on a lower price level. This readjustment cannot be effected without embarrassment in individual cases. It will be effected, however, without serious general results by reason of the inherent strength of the credit situation and the assured CO., operation of the banks with business , The banks are amply prepared to finance business while it is working ton and a stable level of prices. This process will require the employment of a large volume of credit. lnven- tories cannot be disposed of abruptly. In many lines, owing to general in disposition to buy, their I1qu1datlon must be effected very gradually. Meanwhile, shey must be financed; The long run effect of the downward price movement, however, will be to ease the credit situation. The free dom from disturbance with which the readjustment is effected depends largely on the willingness of business to recognize the changed conditions
 Stabilization on a new price basis does not involve a return to the pre- war price level. For nearly two de- cades prior to the war, prices had been rising steadily. On economic grounds this rise might reasonably have been expected to continue, had there been no war. Moreover, the improvement effected in our credit and banking machinery since the in auguration of the Federal reserve sys- tenn now enables a given gold reserve to finance a greater volume of busl- ness at higher prices than was prac- ticable in the pre-war days. The country's present gold reserve greatly exceeds the pre-war reserves, and this enlarged and concentrated gold re- serve will have a sustaining influence on the new price level. The actual level at which prices will be stabilized can only be worked out gradually on the basis of actual transactions over an extended period.

GOLD AND SENTIMENT.

When Miss Madeline H. Peck en- tered the New York School of Applied Design for Women she didn't have a very clear idea of what she wanted to do. She felt the urge of what is usually described as ''an artistic tenn perament,' but, on the other hand, she knew from experience that one needs more than temperament or even artistry to make a living. She had to strike some line that would pay her we'll for she was forced to make her own living; and she had no ambition to languish in a garret while the world was coming to a, realization of her genius.
 So Miss Peck determined to cash in on her talents in commercial man ner-to enter a field where the com petition was limited and the future virtually unbounded. It was for this reason that she took up the study of jewe1ry designing, specializing in the odd trinkets which would appeal par ticular1y to women.

IGNORANT AS TO
 WHO WON WAR

Constantinople, Oct 21.-T. A. Kuhn, a Lucerne business man who has just arrived here after five months trip to Moscow told the cor respondent of the Associated Press that the birthrate in the Russian cities had decreased almost to a point where no more children were stantly increasing. The metal indus tries are the only ones operating, he said. Speaking of the high prices for food and clothing, he added:
 Women in the cities are wearing nondescript dresses made of patched cloth and scraps of lace, Scarfs, etc. cannot see how anyone can live through another winter except the peasants.
 ''The fact that in Moscow there are many passports of all nations makes it possible to send bolshevist propa- gandiStS all over the world"
 MT. Kuhn returned to Constanti- nople via Turkestan and Baku. He said that it would be virtually impos- Sible for bolShevistS to penetrate India through TurkeStan because of the trackless desert and unfriendly Mus su1man tribesmen. He said there are 100000 German prisoners along the railway from Orenburg to Taskent, most of whom did not know who won the war.
 "In Baku the British and American prisoners were made to clean the live fin fi1th,'' said MT. Kuhn.
 tI came through Tif1is and was able to observe that the Georgians are sub jected to tyrannous rule imposed by a delegation from Moscow, against which they dare not protest"

VESSEL TAKES
 RUSSIANS HOME

London, Oct. 21.-The first steam CT put into service between Hamburg and the Far East by the International Red Cross and the League of Nations has left for VladivoStok carrying 1900 Russians whose homes are in Eastern Siberia. The ship will return with former war prisoners from Siberia. according to information from the League of Nations.
 It has been estimated that 100000 former prisoners of war remain to be repatriated from Russia and Siberia. Comparatively few, however, can be brought from Vladivostok because the soviet authorities have refused permission for prisoners from Siberia proper to leave Russia by way of the Far East.
 Repatriation fo former war prison CTS by the present scheme is possible a result of funds raised in the United States, a number of American organizations acting jointly in what is known as the American Repatria- tion committee. Already $S0O,000 has been raised, $1,000,O0O being ex- pected.
 The principal organizations cooper ating in this committee are the American Friends Service committee (Quakers), American Red Cross, American Relief committee for Hun garian Sufferers, American Relief Committee for Austrian War Prison CTS, Federal Council of the Churches of Christ of America, Joint Distribu- tion committee, National Catholic War Council, Young Mems Christian Association and the National Luth- eran Council.

designs; and I feel that the feminine touch would lead to greatly increased sales. Then, too. there's another an- gle. Almost every one has some piece of jewelry to which he is at tached for sentimental reasons. He wouldn't part with it for worlds. but it's usually out of date and antiquated looking or else very much worn. I'm going to take these pieces and, re- working the gold or silver, bring them right up to the minute. In other words. my business is going to be a combination of yellow gold and the gold of sentiment

NOW BELIEVE IN~
 SAVING SYSTEM

Washington, Oct. 20.-The working man will support saving system which includes retention of a part of his weekly wages from his pay en- velope if the system is understood thoroughly by him, John F. Tinsley, manager of a loom works at Worces- ter, Mass, today told the American Bankers association. He urged adop- ton of such a plan throughout the country.
 MT. Tinsley's recommendation was based on the successful operation of such a saving system among hundreds which has become known as the Wor- cester Industrial Savings plan. In brief, the plan consists of having the workers sign cards, authorizing the weekly deduction from their wages and designating the bank in which they wish the money deposited, and of organizing shop committees to en- courage thrift. Weekly deductions notifying the shop foreman, and each week a statement is placed in the pay envelope showing the weekly and gross deposits.
 "Of the upwards of 5000 subscrib- CTS in Worcester said MT. Tinsley, "only 15O, or three per cent, have dropped out.''
 Four conditions were named by MT. Tinsley as necessary for the success full operation of the plan: The sys- tenn itself must be simple, flexible and easily understandable; the man agement must energetlcally support the savings idea; the foremen must be thorough believers in it and the organization for introducing it must be enthusiastically in favor of the savings idea.
 The experience at Worcester, MT. Tinsley declared, was that the for eign-born employees 'as a, gehera1 rule support the plan better than do the English speaklng.

BEGIN HOT WATER
DRINKING IF YOU
DON'T FEEL RIGHT
Says glass of hot water with
phosphate before breakf.2e
washes out poisons.

If you wake up with bad taste, bad
breath and tongue is coated; if your
head is dull or aching; if what you eat
sours and forms gas and acid in stom-
ach, or you are bilious, constipated,
nervous, sallow and can't get Keeling
lust right, begin inside bathing. Drink
before breakfast, a glass of real hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This will flush the
poisons and toxins from stomach, liver,
Kidneys and bowels and cleanse,
sweeten and purify the entire alimen-
tary tract. Do your inside bathing i'm
mediately upon arising in the morning
to wash out of the system all the pre-
vious days poisonous waste, gases and
sour bile before putting more food into
the stomach.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became loaded with body i'm
purities, get from your pharmacist &
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
which is inexpensive and almost taste
less, except for a sourish twinge which
is not unpleasant.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, so hot water and limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. Men and women
who are usually constipated, bilious,
headachy or have any stomach dis
order should begin this inside bathing
before breakfast. They are assured
they will become real cranks on the
subject shortly.

FERTILIZER NEEDS:
A CLOSE STUDY OF
THESE FOR Tenn. SOIL

If you have faith in the soil on you
farm and wish to develop it to th'
greatest extent possible the first job il
to improve the soil. To improve it {
study must be made of it in order Il
supply it with its own special needs il
the cheapest way. 1t is a big stud.
which begins with the fertilizer cues
ton. Some of US are buying what w
do not need, others are not buying
what they do need, and most of US are
not buying in the cheapest form.
Soils need phosphate, lime, clovers
beans and peas and manure. We
must build on this foundation. PhoS
plate is the first Of these to get; buy
it in the form of 16 per cent acid phos
phate which contains in every 10t
pounds of fertilizer 16 pounds of avail
able phosphoric acid. Use 200 to 30t
pounds per acre on general crops sucl
as corn, sorghum, wheat, peas, covers
etc use more on special crops like
potatoes, tomatoes, etc.
Don't let the fertilizer men confuse
you; they want to sell fertilizers; yor
want to buy available plant food, Here
is the way to do it wisely: Keep your
ears closed and your eyes open with a
pencil in your hand and your mind on
Your soil needs. Don't lose your head,
you may lose your money with it.
The law requires that the available
plant food be clearly marked on the
tag. Use that as a basis for buying
and buy that form whiQ& gives you a
pound of available plant food at the
cheapest price per pound 1t is only
the available part that crops can use
because it is only that part which will
dissolve in soil water. Do you buy a
ham for the meat or the bone? You
can't eat bone, neither can crops eat
sand and other things that fertilizers
contain. Sand does not hurt fertilizer.
but you don't want to pay $4,000 to
$4,000 per ton for common sand.
Don't buy complete fertilizers. >
Buy acid phosphate for its phosphorc
clover to make rich manure and to get
nitrogen If you cannot get lime this
year SOW phosphate under beans and
peas and feed the hay to get manure;
save the manure for the nitrogen and
potash in it. Save the wood ashes,
too.
Now until you get started on this
plan it will pay to buy 100 pounds of
nitrate of soda and so pounds of mu-
rate OF potash for every acre of pota-
toes or tomatoes that you grow. Mix
the potash with your phosphate, apply
the nitrate along the row after the
plants are started.
