 YOU? SURE! YOU
 CAN PAY BILLS

Diplomacy hath it's triumphs no less than war. And diplomacy in Bridgeport Republican circles is struggling with this important ques- tion Has Mayor Wilson recognized the new town eomnaittee?"
 The case is as follows. In the last campaign a booklet was printed by the Intertype Printing Company of 300 State street, Frank w. Smith, manager. There is an unpaid bal ance, regarding which MT. Smith wrote to the mayor, Shall I take this up with MT. Leonard, the new Republican Town chairman.

 The town committee is of the opinion that they have been recog- nized, if not for purposes of receiv- ing patronage, at least for the pur- pose of paying the bills.

O'Reilly, tried nine times, and he was wrong every tme- This was permitted, through a defect in the rules, which are now amended so that one person may not guess more than once on one profile.

Sharp Decline In
 Prices Is Coming

Production will not be affected and buying will be stimulated by the de- cline in prices, he indicated. The fact that the first cuts came from the manufacturers has strengthened the belief that lower prices will become more general.
 A drop in woolen goods, clothing and shoe prices is forecast for the inn mediate future. With costs in two of the largest industries already at hand, other industries will follow is the claim made by the secretary
 Failure of the Federal Reserve Board to extend credit for the storing of foodstuffs is expected to bring down prices in the sale of the crops from the present harvest.

Washington, Sept. A - A general decline in comm odity prices was fore cast today by Secretary of Commerce Alexander as result of the an- nouncement of price reductions by Henry Ford. the Franklin Automobile Company, and New England cotton goods manufacturers.
 Alexander believes that the sharp cut made in these commodities is only a forerunner to general decline in prices.
 "The people of the United States have the money and are willing to spend it. but they have reached the place where they are demanding full k lue for the money they spend,'' the Nretary declared.
