AND HIGH
 COST OF LIVING ARE GOING DOWN
Increased Production II Necessary At Present
 Time.

Washington, D. C., May 25.--Prices and the high cost of living are on the downward trend, probably not to be halted in their orderly course until a point of stability or of some per manency is reached.
 This is the opinion of expert fnan- cfers and economists in and out of Congress. That the peak of the period of imitation has been passed and that the nation is now to experience d period of orderly deflation, is the belief of many students of economics.
 The call made upon the Federal Reserve banks by Governor Harding, of the Federal Reserve Board, for the curtailment of credits except for es- sential productions and the gospel preached by the governor and now
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-05-25

being spread broadcast over the na- ton by officers of the Reserve banks that the financial situation calls for sa sacrffces akin to those of war time and for increased production, in creased savings and lessened waste and consumption is having whole some effect.
 It is predicted that there wdl1 now be less speculation in the various markets, and that money held by spectators will be turned into the channels of commerce to relieve in part the strain upon the financial situation. To relieve this strain and provide for the production and move ment of crops is the problem of the banks, and finally the problem of the public, for through increased pro- duction and the practice of proper economy, the public can solve the diff faculties.
 It is in such a period as this that the value of the Federal Reserve System is shown. Through this sys- tenn, it is possible to keep a firm con trol of the financial situation and ap- ply the necessary remedies in time to avert anything in the nature of Q panic. Through the orderly process of deflation, as is predicted will re- suit if the public and the banks CO., operate with the Federal Reserve system, the least possible injury will be done to anyone. That the public and the banks are cooperating and will continue to do so in the plan for greater production and saving all ready is shown.
 Before the Federal Reserve System was established under the first Wilson administration, such a situation as now faces the country inevitably would have brought on a panic, with heavy disaster No close check then was possible on the financial situa- l ton. Imitation existed and prices i mounted until they toppled of the1r l own force, This financial system, controlled by Wall Street and operat- 1 ed for the profit of a few men con- | tinued through many years denying 1 which promises of reform were made i by the Republican party. Despite the i promises, that party did not make | good because the interests did not wish the system changed. Even now,

CHAMP CLARK'S SHIRTS.

Champ Clark likes shirts that have a small red stripe. Not long ago he went into the shop of a lead ing Washington haberdasher to buy a dress shirt. Selecting one he gave the clerk a ten dollar bill and while waiting for his change wandered around looking at the shirts display ed in showcases. But let the for mer speaker tell us about it:
 T found a fine shirt with small red stripes, and I like to wear that kind. During the war you could not get a shirt with red stripes which would not fade. I said to the clerk:
 What is the price of that shirt ?''
 ~ Three dollars
 "'Give me that and take it out o1 the ten.'
 When he came back with the change he did not have enough and I called his attention to it.
 "'Y ou are gouging me. What is that extra 30 cents for?'
 That replied the clerk, is the sales tax that you damned fools en. acted up there in Congress- "-The Nations Business

in the Republican Congress, in there are hints of going back to the old conditions, for through one investi- gation and another and one charge and then another, the way has been paved in the House and Senate so that a demand for revision of the Federal Reserve System and for a return to the old conditions undoubt- edly will be made if the Republicans are returned to complete power. In fact, just at this period, those who benefited through the old conditions, and benefited at the expense of the poor and middle classes and the working men, are chagrined because the Federal Reserve System makes a sta b1e fiscal system possible and pre- vents the control of the money mar ket and the credit of the country by 8 few men,

Appeal For Aid
Pastor Cf Free Methodist Church
Ask Contributions For Poor Of
City.

Having had two years experience
in Alexandria as pastor. in visiting
among the sick and suffering. find
a certain class of worthy people that
need financial aid. For instance
there are some families where the
only bread winner of the home has
been overtaken by disease and
not able to earn a cent for weeks
and months at time; You can readi-
ly see how important it is that they
receive financial assistance, in cases
where there is no income from any
other source.
We as church members have un-
dertaken to care for al. of this class
who are members of our church, but
we meet with so many that are not
members of our church that need
help. that the need is more than we
can supply without outside assis-
tance.
We are spre that there are num-
Der of citizens of Alexandria who
would be glad to help such worthy
cases. if they had the opportunity
and if they could be assured that
the money given would be wisely
distributed to those who were the
most worthy, who were in need, re-
gardless of name or faith. This we
are wiling to undertake by Gods
helm and your cooperation.
We propose to keep an account of
all receipts and disbursements and
this record will be subject to the ex-
animation Of any contributor or per-
son otherwise interested. If there
are any who wish to inquire
into any particular case and wish to
make gift to that case, they will
be given the privilege of making a
check payable to that particular
person and receipt will be secur-
ed from the one to whom the check
is @iven for the same.
We thank you in advance for your
kind consideration in this matter.
Please send all communications to
