URGES MARINE
CABINET POST
Senator Jones Backs Sug.
gestion Made by Ship
ping Men.

A new government department,
headed by a cabinet member to be
known as Secretary Of Marine, has
been proposed by shipping men who
testified recently before. the Senate
Commerce Committee.
The proposal is being considered
by the committee. though 1t is not
expected that the matter will be
placed before the Senate for some
time. Senator Jones, of Washing
ton, chairman of the committee, ex-
pressed himself as in favor of the
plan.
II think that such an Office would
be a good thing" he said, "and
would tend to get people to think
ing in terms of ships and foreign
trade"
Senator Ransdell. of Louisiana,
said that he was impressed, but had
not yet reached a conclusion. One
plan, he said, was to copbine under
a new cabinet officer all transpor-
tation matters, whether by rail or
by water.
Advocates of the new cabinet post
say that a department of marine
is necessary il the American mer-
chant marine is to grow and be pro-
tected. The basis for the new de-
partment they say, exists already
in the Shipping Board.

Shipping Board Cancels
Rates; Vessels to Compete

Effective Immediately all Ship
ping Board tariffs are cancelled in
sofar as the public is concerned, II
was announced yesterday. Rates
hereafter may be obtained direct
from managing agents of Shipping
Board vessels. 1t was learned that
as a result of an agreement entered
into by about 116 operators of Ship
ping Board vessels rates will here
after be made in the various trades
by the operators, who work on a
prof1t-sharing basis.
It Is understood that competitive
conditions will govern the quoting
Of rates. To prevent a rate war
among operators It is believed that
the rates will be fixed from time to
time by the operators in a given
trade coming to an agreement as
the result of conferences.
Seasonal demands will have a big
effect in making rates, 1t was said.

or less. Small trees for forest
planting are quoted as low as one
cent apiece, while those suit
able for roadside planting are
listed for from twenty to fifty

proven worth at nominal cost,
thus encouraging the tree plant
ing idea. The increase in the
number who make use of the
State Nursery each year shows
its popularity and has necessitat-

"REMINISCENCES

The four stores 10 Marlboro, as l re-
member them when boy, were all of
the same architecture. style which
was peculiar to the age in which they
were built. They were a story and
half high with dormer windows and
with porches in front-typical country
stores of this part of the world. In
the early half of the last century, the
planters were liberal patrons of these
establishments, and many OF the pro
prietors succeeded in amassing COM
Portable fortunes. Free delivery was
something unknown in those days, and
the bows of each household ran errands
and made the small purchases. Stick
candy and ginger cakes, cut in the
shape of horse, brought as much de-
light to children then as ice cream
cones do to-day.
The stock of goods carried by the
old time country merchant was not of
great variety or of much elegance. Sta
pie groceries, plain cloths, ginghams
and cottons, and shoes of simple de-
sign, few hoes and plows usually con-
stituted the principal stock in trade.
Soon after the Civil War, however,
an enterprising citizen erected the large
store house, now the Gibbons Hall,
with sky-light for the central part

and on either side of this department
were the grocery and hardware stores.

The cut in the price of a popu-

shadows a cut in the price of steel
products, is not so important as
the drop in the price of wool,
the cut of 335 per cent in the
price of cotton goods by a con-
cern with an annual production
of 1000, 900 yards, the drop in
the price of corn to a figure not
reached since the pre-war period.
All are significant, particularly
to wage-earners. The question
is, how long can he continue to
demand the present scale of wag-
es while the cost of things wages
buy is on the decline? The for
tunate aspect of the situation is
that everybody has had a strik-
ing object-lesson in the fact that
high wages mean no betterment
in the standards of living if they
are accompanied by an increase
in the cost of commodities that
eats up the increased iwage. 1t
ought to be a conclusive demon
stration that lower wages will
mean no lowering of the actual
standard of living if the decrease
in the cost Of commodities keeps
pace with the ascending wage
scale. But 10 cne energetic and
