PLAN FOR IMPROVING HOMES
And School Buildings.

Under the direction OF the State
Demonstration force plan for i'm
proving homes and school buildings
| is being launched. The state is di-
vded into four districts and from
each of these districts will be select
ed four counties in which to work
out this demonstration.
This demonstration will be as fol-
lows; to improve and beautify exte-
nor Of house, and Of grounds. also
arrangement of water system. This
will be supervised by Mr.. A. B. Nc
Kay, who is a landscape gardener of
more than state wide reputation.
The interior decoration and conven-
lent arrangement OF furniture will
be supervised by Miss Victoria Hill
who is an art teacher aud has had
special training in household ar is.
Three buildings located on public
roads, or Ia public place will be
necessary. They are to consist of
one school building where the pat
rons are willing to improve their
house AID grounds as directed; one
home where the owner has some
means with which to beautify and
equip an up to-date home, the third
Is home where the owner is of very
moderate means, but wants to im-
prove, beautify aud arrange a con-
veuient home. The purpose of the
demonstration is to show what can
be done ut the very least cost, bu.
with little work by the owners.
Mr.. Mckay and Miss Hill will visit
each OF these three places every six
weeks until the work, as planned, is
finished
Now as your Home Demonstration
Agent, | think our county should
have this opportunity to show what
can be done TO make nome and school
life more attractive. Ii you who

demonstration in YOUR home or
school, please notify me at once. so
that may take IL up with the state
/ force and make them see that we
must have 1t, and that we are will

New York, Sept. 2s.--Price readjust-

seemed to hold the center OF the stage

regular appearance. to trade distrlbu-

naturally reflected a big share of the

this line are not greatly different from
q week ago, whereas retail business
shows shade more OF activity, while
collections also have slightly improved.
Industrial reports naturally mirror
forth the effect of the price reductions

OF reports submitted. On balance. the
situation as a whole may be said to
show only fair trade doing, with adj

TO govern purchasing in the majority
OF instances, although the apparently

has impaired n slightly more confident
tone to country merchants buying In
sections west of the Mississippi. On
the. other hand, the quieting down OF
some industries has rather tended to
color the reports received from leading
eastern centers. Past and present
price reductions at wholesale. and the
probability that these will be followed
by lower prices at retail, act as bar
to buying all along the line. however.

PRICES AND TRANSPORTATION

We have emphasized the fact that
in the readjustment Of values follow
ing the World War, we seem TO be
working at cross purposes in some
ways We are all expecting to get
things for lower prices. As one means
TO that end we are asking producers
to t;ke less than formerly for their
work, whether they are employers or
employees.
Transportation is one Of the import
ant factors in the fixing of costs Of
necessaries Of life. While we are ask
ing all other factors TO enter the COM
bination of value-establishing agencies
at lower scale Of prices than former
ly prevailed, transportation agencies
are tending TO push the cost Of living
upward. The railroads are seeking to
advance freight rates further under
the recent ruling Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, which held
that it had the power to order advance
rates on intrastate commerce or COM
merce within State lines, as on com
merce between States or interstate
traffic.
Tde particular feature Of this situa-
ton we wish to consider at this time
is the increased cost Of service 10 the
transportation line itself, resulting in
part from arbitrary advance Of rail-
road wages under the Adamson law.
Wage-earners in all parts Of the coun-
try in other lines are now seeing how
this arbitrary legislation on the part
of Congress under the leadership Of
President Wilson is helping TO coun-
teract the natural operation Of the law
Of supply and demand and forcing
them TO pay more for their necessar-
les Of life than would otherwise be
needed
On the other hand, excessive cost Of
transportation is helping to keep up
the cost Of production in factories that
might run merely to keep their help
employed and is causing them 20 shut
down and throw thousands out of en-
ployment.
Figures just published By the Inter
state Commerce Commission show
that II costs the railroads 80 cents
more per train mile 70 run a freight
train today than Il did q year ago. n
