My friend Williams, the stage manager. told me the best places in which to stand. 1 At times I was within a few feet of | Post. at others in the wings or looking | through the library window I was in the , midst of the fog scene. and it was more realistic from the back side than from | out front. I had a curious feeling at times when standing where I could not see the act, yet hearing the familiar words. I can truthfully say that I got r ore pleasure in watching the play, as it did when I saw it from a box.
 
 The thing that struck me about Post was the serious way in which he con ducted himself. I lost sight of the fact that I was watching famous actor ir 1 studying a man whose whole mind and | heart was in the characters he was DOT l traying. It did not seem like acting. but more like living. In his entrances and his exits 1 never saw him smile or speak lightly to any of the other actors He seemed like one obsessed with the drama in which he was not so much a character delineator as a human soul tossed ant | buffeted.
 I'll say one thing-the physical part o1 taking dual role is most exacting, and the way Post had 10 rush through tn. play took both mental and physica stamina At the end I went to his bo, ] and thanked him for the pleasure ne gay, me. and he was gracious in his apprecia ton of the stories I had written abou him. I haven't told you the stage SC erets. you say. And what's more. an not going to do it.

It was just what I wanted to do, and so back we went, in total darkness. It was at a time when the stage manager and his helpers were at supper, but we found a houseman who switched on a light for us, and so I had a good oppor- tunity to see withs what manifold care Chilcote's library and Loders lodgings had been arranged. I thought I knew a little bit about the minute attention given by some great actor-producers to stage properties, but I never dreamed that was to witness such attention to details as I was carefully examining.

Museum OF New Mexico, when the lat
ter spent several hours in the Eagle

American industry, thus giving to Eu-
ropeans hundreds of millions in cred
is for American exports. Foreign
countries bought almost eight billion
dollars worth of American goods last
year, and the indications are that pur-
chases this year will be quite as heavy
possibly two billion dollars heavier
This means that Europe is going to
continue to bid against us for our prod
ucts, Much of that bidding will be for
raw materials, of course, with which
to supply European factories, but a
greater percentage will be for manu-
featured products.
Mr.. Meeker says, and truly, that
prices, because of the refinancing OF
Europe to enable Europeans to buy in
this country, will go higher this year
than last and that wages will continue
high.
He also points out with truth in
every word that if prices should be
reduced in the next seven years to the
level that obtained in 1913, the last
year before the war began in Europe,
the suffering, as a result of the reduc-
ton, would be ten-fold greater than
has been the suffering since 1918 be-
cause of the advance in prices.
Fools are clamOring for a curtail-
ment of the currency. That is the last
thing that should occur. 1t would
bring about an era of falling prices be-
cause people would not have the
money with which to buy, That would
mean, he says, depression, business
failures and unemployment.
There is but one way that lower
prices can he brought abodt without
disaster, namely. increased production.
If men engaged in production will
work harder during the hours of labor
or will work faithfully during longer
hours, there will be a reduction of the
high cost of living and everybody will
be the gamer therefrOm.

WATER POWER RESOURCES.

for the development Of the water
power resources of the country. 1t Is
estimated that OO,OO0.0 900 horse pow
err is available, with an annual value
of $1,000, 100000. That so much ener-

verted into electric power, is going TO

the necessity of shutting down on ac-
count of lack of fuel wherewith TO

Bank Increases CAPITAL stock.

Wednesday afternoon a meeting OF
the stockholders of the Columbus
State bank was held In the offices of
the bank in Columbus and a "melon'
OF 10 per cent and a surplus of SO, 500
was divided among the stockholders.
In addition to this. announcement
was made which is of moment to the
financial interests of the city. 1t
was the authorization by the stock
holders to increase the capital stock
of the Columbus State bank from,
the present capitalization of $4,000
to $4,000. Legally this will permit
of increased individual loans. #S
1t was a Joyous occasion all
around, proving the ability of the pres
ent officers to properly conduct sue
cessful banking business in Columbus
and 1t proved the confidence of the
stockholders in their own Judgment in
having purchased shares in the Column
bus state.
The officials were roundly con-
graduated by the stockholders for
their efficient anagement of the
banks affairs for 1919 and with the
authorized increased capitalization
predictions of a prosperous year in
1920 were freely made.-Columbus

EASE MAKES HIGH COSTS.

Reaction from the stimulus which
the war gave to production was to be
expected. 1t was realized. But the war
! ended more than year ago, Is it not
time for the pendulum to swing the
other way? BY now everybody should
be sufficiently recovered from the ia
tigues of forced effort to put forth the
maximum of normal endeavor. If they
did current restlessness would swiftly
come to an end.
Complaints about the high cost of
living would cease with reduction
of costs. There is a vast amount of
work to do. There are enormous
numbers of workmen employed. The
trouble is too many Of them are work
ing indifferently, waste lilly They
and all others have to pay the excess
sive bill thus rolled up.
In contributing to a canvass of the
national industrial condition, w. w.
Atterbury, vice president of the Penn
sylvania railroad, gives some illumi-
mating figures. AS reported by the
New York Sun. he says:
THE Pennsylvania railroad has in
its employ lessee persons as against
147,71S before we went into the war
or an increase of IA per cent. At the
same time the traffic units fell from
1880, 100000 to 5,000,000,000, or a
reduction of II per cent in the bust
ness. Fourteen per cent more men did
II per cent less work Or, expressing
IN, -
men in 1919 to do the work of 100 men
in 1917. ..-
During the early part of 1917 We
were on a ten-hour basis. During
1919 we have been on an eight-hour
basis. A 20 per cent reduction In time
alone, had we worked with exactly the
same effort that we did in 1917, would
have moved in an eighth hour day 91,-
S45 units. AS matter of fact there
were covered only S9,308 units"
In shop work, as records show, Mr..
Atterbury says that, due to the reduc-
ton Of the daily hours of employ
ment, and the abolition of piece
work, production has been reduced so
that output per man is now only so
per cent of what it was in 1917. an
other words, it takes ten men to do
the work six men did before the war
1t is a fair assumption that Mr. At
terbury cites no isolated instances,
There is ample effort that reduced
effort is general. The consequences
are unacceptable. From them the.coun
try suffers today. 1t will continue to
to, .tn,, NF mir
on the part of the workers And the
latter will have to hear their just pro
portion of the burden.

Nu-Mex We'll looks Fine.

After the delays that have sorely
tried the patience of the drillers and
the management, the Nu-MeX well is
going down in good shape. Drilling in
new country where the formation is
unknown always is difficult and no
one who has not actually had expert
ence in such matters appreciates the
worries and trials of the men who put
down the first we'll.
Chief Driller Rebold is smiling for
the first time in many weeks, He has
overcome the difficulties that have re-
tarded progress and he now has the
casing set on bottom and will resume

A GOVERNMENT EMPLOYE WHO
HAS BRAINS.

Royal Meeker. commissioner of la
Dor statistics and head of the bureau
which collects information on the
trend Of prices, appears to be a man
of real brains--a sort of man not
often found in any branch of govern
ment service He has done real serv-
ice to the country, has issued a state
ment which will do much toward stop
ping efforts to bring about reduction
of the high cost of living by produc-
ing hard times.
Mr.. Meeker says the people who are
kicking about high prices have not
thought much about the results of fall
ing prices. Here is the way he sums
up the situation:
1.-THE prices we kicked about in 1913
have come to be regarded as ideal
Untold distress has been caused by the
rapid price increases of the past four
years. The sufferings already endured
by the people through rising prices
will be multiplied ten fold il prices
drop within the next seven years TO
the 1913 level. A period of falling
prices is always time of business de-
preston failures and unemployment"
The only period of low prices this
country has had for a long time was
in 1898 and during the four or five
years of depression which followed,
During the alleged panic of 1907
money was scarce but prices generally
continued high.
But as MIR. Meeker points out, we
are starting out TO assist Europe with
credits. Our government has already
loaned Americap manufacturers sew
enteen million dollars to enable them
to sell goods 10 Europe on longtime
credit II is indicated that such cred
its will be extended to all branches Of
