A GENTLE REMINDER.
By Charles P. Wilson,

JEFFERSON City, Mo.
As We journey thru this world,
oh, tits but a busy whirl;
1t is ofttimes ask'd of you,
To prove that you're true blue
Now can you faithfully reply?
That you always did comply,
With a word Of good advice,
To your neighbor, friend and wife.
Outlines we find obstacles stand,
Within the way of many a man;
So lend advice, a helping hand,
'Tis your duty, man to man
We all cannot enjoy the same,
Just do your stuff and bear no
blame;
The fellow that you help to rise,
May return a grand surprise.
A story sweet and nice to tell,
A world made safe wherein to dwell;
Your kindly deeds as you pass by,
Are numbered by the n on high
Then bread upon the water thrown,
And all the good seeds you have sown;
Will e'er return, l say to you,
And signify that you're true blue.

Columbus Solicitor De
clares Walter McClel-
Ian Fugitive

COLUMBUS, Nov. 19-Failing to
appear in Superior court yesterday
when his name was called, Judge G.
r.. Howard took forfeiture against
the $4,000 bond of Walter McClel-
Ian, charged with assault with intent
to commit a crime on a well known
young woman of Columbus during
last summer.
Solicitor Mclaughlin told the court
that Mcclellan was not a fugitive
from justice, and asked Judge How
ard to increase the bond to $25,000j
Richard Smith, taxicab driver,
who was indicted by the grand jury
some time ago along with Mcclellan
in connection with the same case, ap-
peared in court. but his case was
passed.
Solicitor Mclaughlin said the
state was ready and anxious to try
the case against Mcclellan. 1t was
somewhat of a surprise to the court
when the defendant failed to answer
Attorney George c. Palmer was
employed Wednesday to represent
McClellanI When asked concern
ing the failure of the defendant to
appear in court this mornin stated
he had nothing to say. He did say,
however, that the young man had
been out of the city, and he sup
posed that Mcclellan merely failed
to get back for some reason unknown
to him. The defendants father was
not present in the court room, eth
er. It was stated that he was at
home i'll and unable to be out OF the
house.
One night last summer Mcclellan
EMPLOYED Smith to drive him and the
Young woman to Howard's woods,
after they had attended picture
show down town. The young wo-
Ian at the time said she had been
ken to Howard's wood without her
consent, and that she had been mis-
treated by Mcclellan, that she ap-
pealed to Smith for help and he re-
fused to assist her in any way, but
drove off and left her in the woods
with Mcclellan. Smith denied that
the girl appealed to him at all, and
stated that she got out of the taxi
cab in the woods of her own free Will
and accord.
Later on in the night some sol
diers passing Howards' woods in an
automobile discovered the girl per-
fectly nude running down the road
screaming. Covering her with. some
of their clothes, they put her in the
car, caught Mcclellan on the road
and took the girl home and then de-
livered Mcclellan to the authorities
in Columbus, where he was locked up

Richard Smiths arrest followed
later on, and the two spent some
time in jail here At the time of the
arrest McClellan's father was IN
Florida on business, but returning
within a few days. arranged SlO,-
600 bond for his son. Smith also
made bond. ~c,
At the time of the arrest McC Ell
Ian admitted assaulting. the young
woman, but said he did so because
he loved her and was trying to force
her to marry him. They had neen
childhood playmates, and had gone
to school together. According TO
stories told at the time of the alleged
crime, Mcclellan and the girl had
been sweethearts for a long time, put
had had many "fusses," only to make
up again later on.

COST OF LIVING TODAY
R VIEW FOR WEEK}
Rock Bottom Prices Demanded

chain of restaurants has announced
reductions of from 10 to 28 per cent.
Many lines of fabrics and clothing
have registered sharp declines with
in the last two weeks.
Blue Denim Down,
Blue denim leaped to fame last
spring with the overall parades. Now
it is in the van of the low-price pro-
cession. Manufacturers are offer
ing it at a price making SO over
alls at retail possible. Shirts at 81
are another novelty promised. Hos
iery and underwear prices have been
cut from % to 33 per cent.
Announcements of cuts of from
33 to 40 per cent have been an
nounced by 19 large Rochester N. Y,
clothing makers. Large stocks OF
unsold and returned goods are re-
ported on hand. One manufacturer
of clothes predicts next springs
prices will be within 25 per cent of
pre-war levels.
Despite the adverse exchange
rates, latest export figures show that
Europe has been buying cotton free
est for the month since 1915. At
the same time consumption by Am
erican mills was the smallest in Oc-
tober since war began.
Causes of Declines.
Prices are falling because of un-
derdemand and not overproduction.
Prices were pushed so high during
theinflation that buyers either re-
belled or were unable to pay them.
In addition banking credit has been
temporarily exhausted. Money rates
are high and loan renewals diff
cult. AS a result business houses
have accumulations of goods. They
must make concessions to get cash
and pay their debts. Also, too much
faith was pinned in autumn trade
prospects and post-election boom.
1t is now realized that excessive
prices have gone not to return.
Sellers have abandoned as useless
the high-cost-of-production argument
to keep up prices. Instead, they
are endeavoring to bring down costs
for 1921. No general reduction in
wages have occurred. Chief econo-
mics will be effected through cheap
er raw material and fuel and increas-
ed efficiency of labor.
The decline of foreign exchanges
continues to be a matter for con-
Germ in the country. From Argen-
tina, Brazil and other South Ameri-
can countries American exporters
are receiving returned goods and un-
paid drafts. The European situation
also continues grave. In Cuba fl.
nancial conditions are growing more
involved as sugar prices continue to
decline.
