ture of gradual and peaceful read
justments rather than financial
disorders and economic calamities.
To confuse the calamity howlers
one needs only to call attention to
the fact that for two years since
the signing of the armistice they
have been constantly proclaiming
the approach of riot, revolution
and Red terror, and still their day
seems as far distant as ever.
The price tendency is downward.
There are several things which pro-
mote this situation. Production is
catching up with demand. Labor
is in some instances developing its
old-time efficiency. Consumers
are growing somewhat less extra
VACANT and are considering the cost
more than was for a time the case
with the high wage class and the
newly rich. Manufacturers are in
Ginning toward smaller profits.
Profiteering is being wiped out.
Three billion bushels of corn, eight
hundred thousand bushels of wheat
and other cereals in proportion
mean a lower tendency in grain
prices.

What About Prices

The newspapers incline to seize
upon every slight reduction in
prices anywhere along the line of
necessities, as an indication of a
break or even of a collapse. in the
high cost of living. Perhaps this
is in line with the tendency on the
part of the sensational press es-
pecially, to make much of little if
that little seems adaptable to the
wishes of the writer Of the scare
stuff.
There are some conditions that
lead easily frightened men to fear
a panic. Such men make bugaboos
of labor unrest, Bolshevism, Euro
pean wars and tight money condi-
tions. There are always plenty of
people ready to prophesy panics,
but real panics, like most of the
troubles we fear. and worry about.
seldom come to pass. In our esti-
there is no reason for be-
coming panicky or for fearing real
ly serious conditions. There is no
foundation for any belief that con-
ditions will get beyond control.
That there will be changes is
true, but they will be in the ma

Ripe Olives
Made Safe

Since the publicity given some
months ago to the poisoning of
several people through eating ripe
olives there has been hesitancy
on the part of dealers to push their
sale. California realized the ser.
iousness of the situation and in
August adopted a state law that
is designed to remove all future
danger from this source. Investi-
cations by the government proved
that the poisoning was due to the
fact that the olives were not prop.

HABITS.

Which shoe do you lace first in
the morning?
We are the creatures of habit;
it is hard to make any change in
our accustomed routine.
Try to shift lacing to the other
foot and see how awkward it ap-
pears.
What our environment repeats
over and over becomes rooted in
our consciousness. Every day
some impressions-some habits =
become indelibly marked in our
minds, to be, perhaps, translated
into conduct.
For this reason we must be toll

Some of our habits doubtless
are bewilderihg to the Chinese.
The great task is to keep bad

propagate like thistles, and there
must be constant wedding to keep

carry their own reward.

in our apple show a box Of fine
