1t is announced by Bradstreet's that

pound prices of thirty-one articles
used for food is the lowest in three
years and eight months. The figure is
$500. which compares with $3.50 the
previous week and s5.1s for the week
ending December a. 1919. 1t shows
2 loss of 3 per cent from the week be-
fore and of 2S.7 per cent from the like
week of last year. 1t has been said
that figures do not lie, but purchasers
OF food must face facts and the fact is
that only slight reduction in food
costs is apparent.

A LOSING FIGHT.

Wisconsin has been added to the
list of states which have failed to
maintain the right of state regulation
of railroad rates in the face OF orders
issued by the interstate commerce
commission. She has been ordered to
advance intrastate> rates to the inter-
state schedule by January Is. Kansas
still awaits her turn.
Upon the ground that it is obli-
gated ito exercise control over Antra-
state commerce so far as it affects
interstate commerce." the I. C. C. on
November 1S overruIed the New York
public service commission in the mat
ter of permitting railroads to increase
intrastate passenger, parlor car,
sleeping car fares, baggage charges
and rates on milk and cream trans
portation. Sixty-three railroads oper-
ating within the state were.according-
ly directed to establish intrastate rates
corresponding with the advanced in
terstate rates.
On November 26 similar action was
taken by the commission with regard
to Illinois intrastate fares. The COM
mission pointed out in the New York
case that the decisive factor was
whether the rates under considera-
ton injuriously affect Interstate com
merce," and said that there can be
no doubt of the power of congress to
devise and provide for carrying into
effect plan for assuring the nations
interstate railroads a fair return upon
the value of their property; and the
full control of congress in this matter
is not to be denied on the ground that
the carriers aggregate earnings are a
combining of interstate revenue and
interstate revenue"
Celebrating upon. this principle in
the Illinois case the commission
added:
This construction of the act cannot
| be said to be an encroachment or
states rights. The power to regulate
interstate commerce was granted con-
against commercial hosti1ities and re-
prisals between the various states
which overwhelmed the confederation
and threatened the commercial de-
| struction of some OF the states. The

Secretary Mohler of the state board
of agriculture reports that farmers
are1turning their hogs into their corn
fields because they are unable to get
their crops husked,. 1t would be in
teresting to know just how many
farmers are pursuing this course. 1t
is uncalled for. to say the least. Corn
husking can be prosecuted thru the
greater part of an ordinary Kansas
winter. There are few farmers who
raise so large a field of corn that they
could not husk it alone before spring
and thus save both the crop and the
money outlay for harvesting. The
man who turns his hogs into a field
of unhusked co In is poor farmer ana
does not deserve any sympathy. If
the farmer wifi crib his corn and hold
it he will get a price. 1t can be kept
much more cheaply than can wheat.
A rail pen and hay thatch will do
the business.

Continually, it is dinned into the
ears of the people that we must have
foreign markets in order to maintaia
prices AT the same time there is a
persistent demand in some quarters

We cannot have large exports unless

We cannot keep constantly selling to

Rules OF Etiquette.
By ROY x. MoULToN.

Do not discuss ancestry when dining
with the smart set. Ancestors are liza
BILE to happen in any family. There is
nothing TO be gained by bring up
delicate subject.
It is not necessary to tie yoHr nap
kin around your neck The waiter
who stands behind your chair in any
wealthy home, will do II for you.
A whole lot of grammar isn't neces-
sary, but some must be used. Don't
say, This is the best dinner Iehave
ever et," but instead say, This is the
best dinner I have ever eat"
References to the hosts cellar are
extremely out of order. If there isn't
anything on the table. there is no use
mentioning the cellar, because the host
has made up his mind that the lips
that touch liquor shall never touch
his, and will keep the key in his
pocket.
In the smart set do not inquire after
husbands or wives. If one of them
shows up at party alone, IT isn't nee
essary to ASK where the other is. He
or she is in Reno.
1t isn't safe to start discussion of

The idea of cooperation is still very

will be first who are now last-and
some last who are now first.
You who have counted the time OF
your employer as SO many minutes
and hours to get thru with, are going
to find that you are the one who has
lost And no matter where you go OF
what you do, you will remain the
poorer for the loss.
Promptness. loyalty, and sense OF
conscientious service is far more APP
