tremendous strides have been on
the program of action and mil
lion of dollars have been concen-
trated into organized bodies fol-
the relief of restitution, to re-
duce illiteracy and advance
Christianity. Many great and
laudable undertakings were con-
ceived, born and matured in
this memorable year to combat
evil and maintain good. The
Methodist Church made a won
derful contribution to advance
its institutions, maintain its char
tiles and promote religion, while
the Baptists have more than
reached their goal for similar
purposes. The Masons of your
State, imbued with the same
spirit, founded in love, are now
nearing their cherished ambition
in a million dollar donation for
the welfare and comfort of their
dependents both young and old.
No year in all the past, in my
opinion is in a class with this
one in effort and attainment,
with purpose and ambition. Re-

This was accomplished thru our
"Good-fellows Club" and still

How fitting it is to give evidence
of Goodwill on this memorable
day, when we remember how
much was given to the world
nineteen hundred and nineteen
years ago. ''Peace on Earth

claimed by the Heavenly mes

must be revered as the most
eventful day of time and eterni.
ty. The year 1919 has been an
ephochal one in many respects.
1t stands as a high water mark
of business achievements. broad
spread prosperity and great ac-
tivity. 1t marks the period of
fearful industrial uncertainty
and outclasses all the past years
in acute contention between Cap
Eital and Labor. A shifting, rest
less spirit seems to have possess
ed the people and commercialized
their actions throughout the en-
tire country and yet prosperity
has followed it its fullness. The
unusual has happened-is still
happening. The soaring prices
of products. the high cost of pro.
duction and increased earning
capacity, seems to me to fairly
well balance regardless of the
howl of the high cost Of living.

Political events have also been

the cessation of a bloody carnage,
the most far reaching political
League of Nations and covenants
of peace were formulated by the
wisest representatives of all the
great powers, and yet the Sen
ate of our country refused to
ratify it. While common calam-
sity stares US all in the face, we
stood united to do our full duty,
but when the roar of the cannon
ceased partisan spirit came in
thunderous tones to capitalize
and nuIlify the compact which
resulted from the loss of millions
of lives and billions of money.

stnpendous blunder and crime,

The Officers of the High Cost
of Living Commission, which has
recently been taken over by and
reorganized under the direction
OF the Department of Justice,
have been at work getting infor-
nation from other cities in con-
junction with similar Commiss-
ions in adjoining states so as to
learn and adopt the best method
of procedure
1t is the intention of the Com
mission to issue a Daily Bulletin,
showing the scope of its investi-
cation and the information re-
ceIVrd Oo,h from our State and
points In aOjliDing states as to
the prevailing prices on food and
clothing. 1t has likewise been
determined by the Commission
That instead OF making the at
tempt t. regulate all kinds of
prices on every commodity, a
policy will be followed of select
ing ten staples in groceries, five
in meats, and an equal number
in clothing, as well as a few
staples in shoes, and establishing
fair prices on these articles,
which prices are to be based on
the actual cost of the materials
and not to be calculated Cd any
replacement basis; in other words
the Commission is going to cent
er its attention for the present
on few essentials of life, rather
than the so called Iuxuries.
With this information in hand,
the facts are to be presented to
the Fair Price Committee, the
Chairman of which will be ap-
pointed in a few days, which
Committee was formed and Sc
l9cted in accordance with specific
instructions from the Attorney
General in Washington, and with
the confirmation of these prices,
District Attorneys Slattery. of
Covington, and Gregory, of Louis
vile, assure US they will be able
to prosecute successfully, under
the extension of the Lever Act,
anyone charging prices in excess
of these figures. Instead of re.
lying upon the mails, the Com
mission is sending two of its
members to get selling prices on
these staples in adjoining states,
and its investigators are actively
at work procuring necessary data
pertaining to local selling prices

HAVE NOTHING ON ANCIENTs

Moderns are In the habit of assum-

in which. with all the appliances fur
nished by ingenious mechanics of our
time, we have not succeeded In re-
motely approaching the achievements
of peoples who flourished millenniums
ago and who from all accounts worked
with tools of the most primitive
character, remarks the San Francisco
Chronicle.
We have made our boasts about cut
ting through the Isthmus of Panama
and pr!ded ourselves on the construc-
ton of the Roosevelt dam in Arizona,
but the British engineers operating in
the region between the Tigris and Eu-
pirates rivers, In central Asia, have
made discoveries which indicate that
the irrigation system constructed to
utilize the waters of those great
streams was more daring concep-
tion and accomplished more for the
good of man than any project con.
celved or carried out by modern man.

SEEKS FOE OF JAP BEETLE
Specialist Has Seen Detailed to
Bring to This Country Enemy Of
Horticultural Pest.

The Japanese beetle is going to have
its old enemies on its trail in this
country. The United States depart
ment of agriculture has sent man to
Japan to find those enemies and send
them across the ocean. They will
then be established in the sections of
New Jersey where the beetle has
gained foothold, and they are ex-
pected to aid greatly in the control of
the pest.
The agent employed In Japan is
familiar with Japanese conditions and
is n specialist In this kind of work. II
is expected that the task will require
his sojourn in Japan for two or three
years. While something Is known OF
the parasites of the Japanese beetle
a great deal is still to be learned only
under field conditions where the
beetle lives with all the enemies that
prey upon It. The beetle reached this
country with importations OF green
house plants, and thus far apparently
has been comparatively free from mo-
lestations by natural enemies.
