THE ANSWER

Most of the great fnanciers seem in doubt
as to what is the cause of the unusually low
prices for all kinds of farm products at
present
All appear unwilling to risk positive NJ
alysis of the subject and hearing in mind that
fools rush in where angels fear to tread" the
Enterprise assumes all responsibility, and Of
fers the guess that it is due to a contraction
of the circulating medium, not enough money.
1t is stated on fair authority that there
is in circulation something over six billion
dollars, while the total bank deposits in the
United States amount to something like ten
times that amount.
If all the depostors in the entire country
would withdraw ten per cent of their deposits
on the same day and carry it around in their
vest pockets for day or so, there would not
be cent left in any bank, and the banks and
bankers would then be in about the same condi-
ton that the rest of us are in now.
Right here is where the subject gets too
deep for us to anaylze but we are absolutely
certain that our own trouble is due to lack
of circulating medium, or at least the medium
circulating about our place of business

Scripture /
Eclesiastes .:l-lO

A good name is better than precious
ointment; and the day of death than
the day Of ones birth.
II is better TO go to the house of
mourning, than to go TO the house OF
feasting; for that is the end of all
meh; and the living will lay it 10 his
heart.
Sorrow Is better than laughter; for
by the sadness of the countenance the
heart is made better.
The heart of the wise is In the
house Of mourning; but the heart OF
fools is in the house OF mirth.
It is better to Near the rebuke OF
the wise than for u man TO hear the
song of fools.
For as the cracking of thorns under
pot, so is the laughter of the fool;
this also is vanity.
Surely oppression maketh wise
man mad; and gift destruyeth the
heart.
Better is the end of thing than
the beginning thereof; and the pa.
tent In spirit is better than the proud
in spirit.
Be not hasty In thy spirit to he an
cry; for anger resteth In the bosom
OF fools.

A SUGGESTION RENEWED

Several days ago we brought before the
general public of Ardmore, the suggestion
that, with the rapid approach of Christmas
time, band of "Goodfellows" be organized
who will, OH Christmas eve, bring to the hearts
of all the little folks of the city, among those
who are the less favored by Fortune, joy and
gladness and happiness for at least few fleet
ing hours.
Thus far our suggestion has not been re-
ceived with loud acclaims or vociferous ap-
plause. In fact the applause and the cheering
and the hand-clappings have been most con-
spicuous through their absence, while the man.
ner in which the fellows who want to give
with their right hands without having their
left hands advised of the fact, are breaking
out into long and renewed silence, is simply
appalling.
We appeal to you again, however to join
the ancient brotherhood of Free and Accepted
Good Fellows.
We ask you to come in, and assure you
that the water is fine
We pledge you our word that the organi-
zation can be effected, and perfected, without
ostentation or display, and assure you that you
can buy dollies and candies and toys and shoes
and stockings and good things to eat for all
the worthy children of Ardmore whose faith
ers and mothers do not belong to the select
eleven hundred and forty-four without any
one knowing that you have concealed beneath
the folds of your silken shirtwaist, if you are
woman, or your broadcoth jacket, if you
are a man, heart which is broad enough
and deep enough, tender enough and true
enough to feel for all the kiddies of the town,
to beat with pleasure in being able to make
these little chaps happy and carefree ''just
for night"
Come, on Mr. Man and Mrs. Woman. Get
together and start the ball to rolling and have
an old fashioned Christmas tree, loaded down
with presents which Old Santa Claus sends
you, as members in good standing, of the
Ancient Free and Accepted Order of Good
Fellows.

INVERTED "NORMALCY"

INVERTED "NORMALCY"
For months and months the people of the
United States have been crying for a lowering
of the high cost of living.
From the fields of the farms, from the
workshops of the cities, crying aloud with one
voice, the men and women of this country have
been calling for return of pre-war prices.
And they are getting them, getting the
things for which they have asked, getting them
in allopathc doses, but getting them backwards,
getting them inverted, getting them wrong end
foremost, getting them with a kick in each
separate dose.
While it is so we'll established that it has
become automatic that prices have been too
high, return to normalcy can never be
brought about through seeking the reduction
of the price upon raw material before the
price of the finished article has been brought
to the proper level, while the primary reduc-
ton of wages paid the men and women who
hold salaried positions, spells suicide for retail
business.
When the bottom fell out of the price Of
cotton, of corn, of wheat, of livestock, in place
of aiding in bringing about return to normal
conditions, the ones who gerrymandered the
deal launched blow at the producer which,
like boomerang, seems destined to come back
and smite the hand which threw it, at the
same time landing a solar pleXus smash upon
the anatomy of the retailer
The same may be said of the manifest ef-
fort upon the part of employers all over the
country, to reduce the scale of wages paid to
the millions of employees in the multitudnous
lines of industry all over the country. With
the reduction to point below the cost Of
production, of the fruits of the husbandman's s
labors, accompanied by reduction of wages
and the laying off of tens of thousands Of
skilled and unskilled worlkmen, has come the
buyers strike" the strike which affects every
retail dealer in the United States.
In addition to all this it may be noted that
commissions, both the interstate and the bodies
of the several states, seem inclined to lend
hearkening ears to the pleas Of the different
corporations which bring up claims for in
creased rates for the services rendered the
public, that public which is already groaning
under the stress of reconstruction.
Thinking men and women, business men
and wage earnerS, the ones upon whose should
ers fall the burden of reconstruction, with
their own earning capacity lessened, with their
own incomes cut down in the name of high
living cost reduction, must know and realize
that serious blunders have been made that
still more serious blunders are being made.
Thinking men and women, in every walk of
life, must know that every time a freight
rate is increased that every time phone
rate is raised, that every time an express rate
is boosted, that every time a carrier service
corporation is given rate recassfication,
the cost of living to the ultimate consumer is
increased and the burdens weight added to in
place of being decreased.
Wholesalers and jobbers and distributors
may cut prices to the quick, but just as long

SHIPPING

WASHINGTON, D C.. Dec. -.
Members Of the British mission
which visited the United States in
1917 attempted to influence the poll
ces of the shipping board. William
Denman of San Francisco, first
chairman of the board, testified be
fore the special house committee in
Yestgatng the boards operations.
Denman indicated his insistence that
tho shipping board be free from Brit
ish influence had more to do with
his resignation as chairman OF the
board than any other thing
ID this connection the witness said
that il he could obtain the permis-
Si0a OF President Wilson for the
disclosure of certain phases" OF the
shipping board negotiations. "one OF
the sources of Interference with my
administration as head of the board
may be disclosed"
