Takes Bride to Palace.
The young King and his morgan
sweethearts Alexander asserted
that he had a right to marry who
ever he pleased and took his bride
to the palace in Athens. This arous-
ed a storm of discussion which so
displeased his wife that in the early
mother and sister to live in Paris,

the following May 1t was an
nounced that the Greek constitu-
ton did not grant him permission
to enter upon the morganatic mar
riage and that action by the Greek
parliament would be necessary to
determine whether Mile. Manos
could become Queen of Greece or re-
main the Kings official consort.
Alexander's refusal to give up his
wife was said to have greatly wor

Cut County Salaries.

Clarion Clipper: Salaries at the
courthouse so down the first of Janu
AIRY, SO Il month in each Of the offices
The present salaries were fixed as wal
legisla ton, to offset the increased cost
of living. They were really made.
luate at the time they were fixed, but
the legislators did not wish to make
them permanent, so voted that they
should automatically lapse at the be
ginning of 1921, hoping, no doubt, that
Ivy that time the old conditions would
be restored.
However, the pre-war salaries are
really not attractive to office holders.
Men in the trades can frequetly re
ccive larger salaries and have less re.
sponsibility. 1t is likely that the next
session of the legislature will take this
question up again and restore either
present salaries or vote an increase be-
yond them.

Trade Review: While the consumer
ii rejoicing over many signs Of gen
eral recession in prices it will be well
for him to remember that in nearly all
lines retail dealers are now in tick
lish position.
It is an easy matter for Henry
Ford who controls both raw material
and the finished product to send tel
egram to all the agencies handling his
output to reduce prices 0ffhand, but
the retail merchant is in a very differ
ert situation. He has to constantly
maintain stock Of goods to meet the
day by day wants of his customers and
so his shelves are filled with articles
necessarily purchased when all costs
were at their peak. In many lines
orders had to be placed months in adj
vane He cannot drop prices abruptly
to coincide with manufacturing cuts
without dropping into bankruptcy.
The automobile owner who discOv-
crs that the resale price Of his car has
been reduced quarter or a third be-
tween noon and night can comfort him
self with the thought that his bus is
just as valuable to him for service as
ever hut the retail merchant has no
such consolation. He must sell and at
a margin that will enable him to con-
tinue in business as we'll as to buy
new stock at lowering prices.
1, There seems no doubt that the gen
Grail readjustment process is now un-
er,way. But the way to help it is not
t6H stop buying. The public can best
help the movement by buying sanely
md intclligently for its needs. because
It is not until present stocks can be
disposed Of without serious loss that
there can be general and permanent
reduction in prices. If that thought
is carried in mind there will be grad
ual and steady easing of costs without
violent dislocation or business wreck
ing. BY helping the dealer dispose of
his goods bought earlier we shall in
reality. be helping ourselves.
Of course we need not expect really
prcwar prices for long time, if ever.
The sweat shops have been abolished.
All workers are now receiving fairer
compensation than ever before. We
want to maintain that condition and
that fact in itself is bound to leave the
price recession at higher level than
in the old days with their lower stand
ard. of living. So do not ask the re-
taller to bear the burden unassisted
NOR look for price millennium over
night.
