There are several reasons why
merchants are slashing their prices
One is that the value of the dollar
is going up again and people are ex-
pecting more for 1t. Many have
curtailed their expenditures even on
necessities, and are accommodating
cash. AT the same time they are
growing wary, too wary, from a bust
ness point of view, for a merchant
must provide goods for a steady
week-in7week-out trade, and fits and
starts in buying do him no particu-
lar good. If people buy much one
month and nothing the next, he first
runs short Of goods and then has
too much on hand. This forces him
to sacrifice sales and retrenchment.
But just at the present time there
Ae dfhef reasons for sales. Winter
Saraesed on 80 long that the usual
spring sales are only now dues In
order to be on the safe side mer-
chants usually provide too much Of
'biie o.. another line Of goods.
And then consider the psychology
Of the mass. Right now an imagined
reaction Is holding the purse strings
tight, If it lasted very long we
should see another period of over
buying. 1t is the merchants duty
to. steady the market as much as
possible He is throwing goods on
sale at reduced prices to reawaken
the public's buying instincts.
The strange thing is that these
movements of the markets are ma.
tion-wide over night. No communi-
cation seems necessary. The effects
of thought along the same line show
up everywhere simultaneously. We
have had clothing sales in Black
foot for several weeks.
F. The wild buying last year, the fan
cied reaction in March, the real re-
action in May, and the approaching
normal, all these movements of the
public mind have been closely stud
led by merchants and in most cases
discovered in advance and met
squarely. The merchant is public
buyer. He must be a prophet and
provide for the most likely future
demand. When he has the goods
he must sell them.
There appears to be one fallacy
among manufacturers and big job
bers, and that was that Europe's
wild demand for American goods
would play up well against Ameri-
cans wild desire for more goods.
They planned according to this sup
posed competition, but the bottom
fell out when Europe refused to take
part in the game.
Europeans are conservative. They
said. We'll go without rather than
pay exorbitant prices" This gare
us all bunch, and we reacted some
what. Now the manufacturers find
themselves with large supplies of
raw materials. Reports say that
wool and cotton are both overabun-
dant in-this country.

Canadian Black and Russian

A marriage was arranged" In Lon

The result is the first hybrid black
brown bear cubs ever born in the zoo

They are a rich mahogany compro-

the news comes word that the ugliest
beast in the world, the Matamata tur-
tie, another emigrant from the new
world, has been on a hunger strike ever
since his arrival in London. At home
he gets his food In a nasty, treach-
erous way. He has a shell which looks
like a lump Of rock on which weed
grows freely. He keeps quiet and
looks like a pleasant stone for fish
to rest under. Round his jaws are a
number Of long Jumps which look like
desirable worms. These are his
ground bait, and even If the Matamata
be asleep a nibble rouses him to snap
up a meal.

Blind, Deaf and ArmIess as Re-
suit of Injuries Received

LOVE SOFTENS "EXIlE"
French Soldier Believed to Be Most
Unfortunate Being in All History
Scientists Were Debating
Painless Death.

Paris.-Blind, deaf and with both
arms amputated as the result Of in
juries received in action during the
war, the young French veteran, Emile
Tilloloy, considered the most unfor-
tunate being in all history, has found
a refuge from his tribulations in the
love of a little peasant girl, Jeanne
Delavoine, his boyhood sweetheart.
Their engagement has been an
nounced and the marriage is to take
place early in the spring.
The announcement has set at rest
the minds Of leading French moral
lists and philosophers who had been
debating If the ending of Tilloloy's
trials by euthanasia would not be
justified.
Debate Painless Death.
Had society any right to demand for
the sake of a moral precedent, the
continued Calvary of this modern Job?
Would it be an humane and enlight-
ened act to put an end to his horri-
BILE sentence by quick and painless
death?
These were the disturbing ques-
lions asked by French metaphysi-
clans.
On July "a, 1915, Tilloloy was
wounded in both arms and the face
by a bursting shell. The defamation
broke both ear drums.
Expert surgery and tender care
saved his life, but he left the mill
tary hospital a year later deprived of
the three senses Of sight, touch and
hearing, able only to taste and smell.
Taps Only Language.
He was taken to his own home, in
the little hamlet of Canaples, Depart
ment of the Somme, and placed I'M
der care of his mother and two Sis
tiers.
A primitive system of taps on his
body for ives" and "no' constituted
his only means of receiving messages.
Upon Tilloloy's return to his home
Jeanne became a daily visitor, taking
her turn at sitting beside him and
tending his needs. She identified her
self by three short taps.

manner IN room up stairs in the

were sick IN bed at the time. In the

fifteen bushels of beans stored and
the floor had burned so as to let the
beans fall through the ceiling before
the fire was discovered. The house
together with practically all its con
tents and all the family wearing ap

loss is estimated at $4,000, and there

Our little town has made some for
ward strides during the past year and
we would have shown even q greater
growth during the year just closed
had all conditions been ia vOrable, but
we are still confronted with the ap.
parent inactivity or opposition OF the
Wood Townsite Company, whose lots
in this town are in such condition, on
account OF back taxes, that they eth
er will not or do not care to give pros
pective purchasers good deed to a
lot. 1t is hard for people of this town
20 understand the present policy of
the Townsite Company. 1t appears
as though they are playing a game OF
speculation at the expense Of the peo-
pie of this town and the taxpayers OF
this county. The Townsite Company,
as we have stated before in these col.
umns, has paid no taxes on their town
lots In Wood since the year 1913, and
while they have been importuned to
pay their taxes and get their lots In
shape, they refuse to take any action,
They have apparently adopted the
runious "watchful waiting policy,
II the railroad should be built to
Wood within year or two, or before
the people wake up and take some
drastic action themselves; they would
probably pay thei' back taxes, and
fatten their pockets by selling thu
