unexampled prosperity, and We all
knew it could not last indefinitely.
Many people have had the foresight
20 pay their debts and also salt some
thing down, while others have spent
money as fast as it came.
Wages will be the first thing to
come down, but labor will inevitably
have to bear it's share in the read
iustmcnt. In large industrial centers
like Detroit and Akron, thousands of
men have been laid off, and those who
have been restricting production, or
doing Just as little as they could and
get away with it, were the first to go.
The Ford factory in Detroit has
laid off thousands Of men, and the
management told the men remain
ing that wages would not be reduced,
but that more men would be lad OF
until a pre-war production could DC
had. L is going to be the same way
in Anderson as well as other places.
Those who had to be begged to do a
little work will be the ones who Will
be hunting work, and will be the last
to Get it. Every employer mas the
record of the men who stuck to their
work and gave good service, as well
as those who shirked.
There's no use getting excited.
The world has always had to work
for its living and will continue so
until the end of, time, but those who
demanded a luxurious living With
out work will have to get down 20
business with the rest OF US. Inc
country is not going to make as great
nrofits as it has during the past TWO
wears, but it will go ahead and al.
will come out pretty we'll in the end
if we keep a level head, and continue
to put in a good days work.

THE PERFORMANCE is ON.
Anderson Daily Mail.

@ @ g o o o o o o 9 o o o o o @
This is wonderful age, and to live
Just at this time is a great privilege,
indeed. The incentive to do things
was never greater and still, there
prevails-in many quarters, IN the
breasts of men everywhere-a feel
ing OF dread and uncertainty. Every
one is aware Of the fact that the
world is on the eve of a readjustment
of her affairs as they effect the peo-
pies of the earth, but instead OF
jumping in and helping they are
hanging back.
What's the use?
The show has been staged, you
have already bought and paid for
YOUR admission and the performance
is on.
The arena has been cleared and
the contestants are ready for the
fray.
The contest will be pulled off rain
or shine," and the profit you may de-
rive from the occasion is lett en-
tirely with you. You may sit around
home and curse and splutter; hang
around with your mouth open and
your eyes everywhere except where
they ought to be and get your pockets
picked; or, you may enjoy it.
This may be a round about way
but here is the idea without further
fuss: It is too late to kick now
about what you might have done. II
the readjustment of values has
caught you with loss, get it be-
hind YOU. Look the situation square
" in the face and try to get 1t
through your noodle that just want
ing thing doesn't always get 1t.
Keep your feet on the ground and
YOUR mind on your business. The
thing has started and there is no way
in the world to stop it. The effect 1t
will have on you, or on your business
is up to you.
There will be no panic, but there
will be readjustment, and it is al
ready here. Some articles, cotton,
for instance, has declined too much
in proportion to other things, and
some things are advancing, but this
can only be temporary.
The country has had two years OF

ALCOHOL FUEL.

The British inter-departmental com
mittee on production and utilization
Of power alcohol has recommended
extensive experimental work for the
development OF alcohol as an auto
motive fuel It Is expected that the
alcohol, which will be synthetic, and
obtained from the gas works and coke
ovens, can be produced for about 30
cents a gallon.
In view OF the fact that alcohol is
not suited to most types OF conductors
81 the present day and to eliminate
tho need for expensive and radical
changes in the engine. " probably
will be necessary to use half benzolc
with the alcohol to make n disable
fuel for the present type of motor car
engines. In any event, II Is more
than an idea and British authorities
are devoting very considerable atten-
ton to II at this time.-Motor Life

1918 TO 1918 freight traffic on the
railroads Increased approximately 40
per- cent, yet during this period the
number OF freight cars I'm service In
creased only 10 per cent.
Again, the railroad freight trafnc

in partisan political activity this year.
That is. it is not going to support Re-

aS Democrats. Instead of doing this
it will. according to Vice President

tion for workiugmcn to adopt. and that
is to support its friends Loyalty every

with might and main
In pursuit of this policy il is planning
to send into every congressional district
the labor record of every congressman
seeking ro election. in order that not
only the members of tho federation but
all other voters may know where the
candidate stands. Then the local labor
mon will decide for themselves whether
they wish to support the candidate or
not.
This is a perfectly legitimate course
It is pursued by the equal suffragists.
by the prohibitionistS and by all other
interests. Indeed it is pursued by the

TIME meaning Of the teachers retire
i mcnt law will be clarified as result
of the suit for reinstatement n nrrsi-
dent of the Central High School begun
by DR.. Robert Ellis Thompson.
He has been retired by H. Board
of Public Education. His attorney is
understood to hold that the state re-
tirement board must act affirmativclr
before teacher who has reached the
age limit is separated from his position.
The retirement board has not acted in
the case Of Doctor Thompson. II is
also held that the retirement act is un
constitutional. as it is class legislation.
The purpose Of the act is TO insure
greater efficiency in the conduct Of the
schools and also to provide for the old
age of teachers who have reached soy
enty wears. The desirabiIity of valid
act TO accomplish these ends Is ad
mittcd. 1t Is important that there
should be a judicial Interpretation OF

nent for the guidance of the school au

MUNICIPAL TAxlS

TINE high cost of automobiles for city
l. officials has led to an experiment
begun in New York this week which
deserves tn" attention of Mayor Moore.
The city has bought lot of automo-
bilcS that are be run as taxiCabS.
Instead of providing a car and a Chauf
frur for each official who thinks he
needs ono. it has arranged that when
the services Of car are required the
official will telephone To the dispatcher
on the stand adjoining the municipal
building. \ car will then await him
at the entrance of the building. lie
will enter it, 60 about his business and
return. when tho ear will bc free for the
use of the next man.

save large sum every year while in no
