ment. The good the library is doing is not affected
by wars. famines nor panics Its wealth is available
to the poorest without price A multitude can testify
to the benefit they have derived from its aid. 1t is
especially helpful to students of the college who need

each evening when other sources of information are
closed

day of the library, which the seventeenth day Of
October. The ceremony Of its dedication was most
impressive and was witnessed by two thousand peo-
pie. 1t has been just as useful as was expected by
its enthusiastic founders and the move to show APP
probation of its usefulness should be backed by all
the people 1t is today just what Dr. Middleton called
it six years ago-a priceless asset.
Prof. Howard r. briggs. now national figure in
education, gave the dedicatory sermon and Mayhem

HENRY FORD GETS BACK TO NORMAL

ENRY FORD has lowered the price of his cars
i i and tractors to practically the pre-war level
He did it without threat of indictment and with
out waiting for market conditions to force him to the
cut. For this the New York Sun-Herald calls him
great merchant. The we-known ultimate consumer
will wish heartily that there were some great mer-
chants like him handling Shoes clothing -four sugar
and all the necessities that now cost so much more
than in the good old days. Henry Fords act is bound
to make it harder for the big corporations of the
country to get away with their varied and sometimes
illogical for present prices of their products
1t may not be supposed that we favor slump in
prices that would close the factories and shut down
the mines of the nation. We need to get back to
normal. then what the nation most needs is stability
The consumer needs the assurance that prices will
not rocket The producer needs assurance that prc-
es will not drop. Then industry can plan for the
future and wage agreements can be made that will
not have to be adjusted every six months to meet
new conditions We need the resurrection of that
dependable pre-war slogan. Business as usual"
