TO DENY FEDERAL
 HELP TO FARMERS
tBy United PressD

Washington, Dec 3.-Secretary ot the Treasury Houston was today in vited to appear before the house and senate committees on agriculture for joint hearing on legislation demanded by farmers to improve market and credit conditions.
 While the committees propose to en- list the aid of the secretary of the treasury in devising and placing in operation the speediest and most eff fective means of aiding the farmer, senators and representative will op- pose any measure involving direct use of government funds for their assist ance. Members of both committees that such use of federal funds and re- sources would be considered as class legislation and would meet with vigor- ous opposition.
 An expressed objection to use of federal funds for relief of the farm ing population is the fear of compli- cations which undoubtedly would fol- low when industrial and business lead CTS generally asked the same remedial action.

FOOD PRICES ARE TUMBLING
Prices of Many Articles for Daily
Life All Coming Down

! The high cost of living has been
pretty badly used during the past few
months. To realize just how rough
! has been the treatment accorded the
high cost of living one must compare
present retail prices of staple food
stuffs with the prices which prevailed
several months ago.
| When one compares these prices
and sees that potatoes, for instance,
are selling at a third of what they
did six months ago and that sugar is
| but a little more than third of what
! it was at the highest peak and that
-four has fallen off a fourth it is
realized that the slump is no myth.
/ Prices of groceries, staple food
stuffs and meats are reaching some
where normal levels. Not pre-war
/ levels perhaps, but far below what
they were last winter and for months
previous.
| Today, high grade flour can be had
for $3.15 a sack, perhaps less, COM
/ pared with S4.25, the retail price dur
/ ing the high price era. Potatoes,
another standby in the food line, to-
day are retailing at So and less a
/ DIS dS dlISl pu d buolici
/ in the year.
| Sugar, which people were buying
at $33 a hundred pounds last winter
| can now be had by the 100-pound
sack as low as S13.25. Not only
that, but it is plentiful.
Tuesday bread was offered at 1Sc
per loaf, two loaves for 25c. AT
noon at other places bread was sell
ing at loo per loaf.

AFTER SUFFRAGE, WHAT?

Now that equal suffrage has been
secured, what next? We mean, what
are the women going to do? For
| two generations they have earnestly
worked for the ballot, and for several
years have had one of the most ex-
| tensive, most thoroughly equipped
and most efficient organizations ever
created, directed toward that end.
Now the end has been attained; the
immediate object of the campaign
has been secured in the ratification
of the Ninteenth Amendment. What
is to be done with this superb organ
| ization. Is the great machine to be
strapped? Is the army to be dis
banded?
We should certainly hope not.
There is apparent much diversity OF
opinion and inclination, and there
is divergence of action. But the
disposition of the organization and
its leaders in many places affords
ground for confidence that it will
not be abandoned nor permitted TO
lapse. 1t is perceived that while the
battle for suffrage has indeed been
won, the objects for which suffrage
was desired have not yet been attain
ed.
Now 1t is obvious that they have
not yet gained their real end. They
have not yet done with the ballot
what they want to do with it. They
lave simply obtained the tools; the
actual work is yet to be done. Ana

while it may not be-though it may
be-more arduous than the work of
winning the franchise has been, it is
certainly much more complex, ana
will be much more prolonged. The
one has taken fifty or sixty years,
and is done for all time. The other
will take not fifty or sixty years,
but all the time for the doing of it, at
least as long as the nation exists.
For it is to be both subjective and
objective. Women voters are to
serve their own interests, and they
are also to serve the community and
the state by securing a higher stan
dard of citizenship and Of govern
ment. That is the suprema purpose.
To accomplish such a purpose, pre-
paration and organization are essen
tial. they are all the NOSE essential
because of the confessed lack O pre-
paredness of most women. We are
told. they themselves tell Us, that
they are not convesant with politics
and with public business. But they
need to be. If they are going to I'M
prove political and public life by their
participation, they must become &C
quainted with it, with its ways ard
means, with its virtues and vices
And this information can obviously
be best obtained, if indeed we may
not say that it can only be obtained,
through concerted and organized
action
We should hope, therefore, that
the superb organization which the
women have formed for the purpose
of securing equal suffrage will he
maintained in full integrity and ac-
tivity for the purpose of teaching
them how most profitably and eff
GENTLY to exercise the right which
they have won.

IMPORTANT MEETING IN VIOLA
TOWNSHIP

On Friday, October Is, at 2:30 D.
m, a representative body of men and
women met at the consolidated school
in Viola township for the purpose of
organizing Parent-Teachers Asso-
| citation
Meetings will be held on the first
Friday night in each month and will
be of an educational nature with oc-
casionally an entertainment feature.
A different program committee will
have charge of each meeting giving
width to the movement. Glasses in
Civics, Physical Culture, Parliamen-
tary Law, Physiology and School
Sanitation may develop.
Mrs. Orville Buckner was chosen
President with Mrs. John Durbin as
vice president and as this is to be a
real Parent-Teachers association one
of the teachers, Miss Capper, vas
chosen to act as Secretary on the Ex-
ecutive Committee.
With this splendid corps of officers
| the organization can proceed to do
things for the community that have
never been done before. But these
officers must have the loyal support
of every parent in the township in
order to accomplish all that they
should.
The live schools throughout the
state are advertised by their strong
p. T. AS
The spirit that has led Viola to be
first in the county to organize a con-
solidated school must also promote
the best interests of the P. T. A.
Such an organization can be of great
benefit in a community, not alone to
parent and teacher, but to the pupil
as we'll
One of the main reasons for the
organization is for the development
of real com immunity spirit.

FEWER FAILURES IN 1919 THAN
SINCE YEAR 1881. VS.

Washington. d. C!-With fewer COM
mercial reverses intthe United States
than in any year since 1881. when the
total number Of firms in business was
less than half the number now in ex-
istence, the 1919 insolvency statement
has contributed largely to an annual
statistical exhibit that has had no par
allel. says the Washington Stars finan.
cial expert. The Industrial and mer-
camille repression Of the early part OF
last year, which was a time for read.
justment, uncertainty and hesitation,
was not sufficiently severe or protract-
ed to make itself manifest in the fail
ure comparisons and only 6,451 de-
faults were reported to r. G. Dun 4
Co. during the twelve months recently
ended.
The significance Of this showing is
demonstrated by the fact that in 1918,
when the returns were considered
highly favorable, there were 1882 in
solvencies and the $113,291,23 of LA
bilities Of 1919 not only contrast sharp
ly with the $l63, o19,979 Of the year i'm
mediately preceding, but are the small
est since 1905. 1t thus appears that last
year, Instead of disclosing the raise in
the commercial mortality, which many
people had expected, brought further
reduction of 1854 per cent in number of
failures, and contraction OF sos per
cent in the Indebtedness, while the inn
provement over the early years of the
war era is, of course, far more strik-
ing.
