WE LIVE & SOMETIMES LEARN

A year ego II was generally stated
that prices could not drop for from
three to fve years. Every producer
and every workman had it figured
out on paper to show that. his par
ticular product or his particular
wages could not be reduced; war
prices were to continue for an In
definite period. II anything drop
ped, the Other fellow" mqst make
the first concession
Our whole system Of production,
including manufacturing, labor and
distribution, had been placed ON
fase basis due to prices established
on a. non-competitive basis under
which service rendered or value de-
livered, for the dollar received was
of secondary Importance.
The producer OF the raw material
raised the price of his products, the
factories raised the price Of mard-
factured article. the workman raised
his wages, all prices were inassased d
60 meet the increased cost OF opera
tion, and about this timethe circle
was completed back to the producer,
and he made another raise and the
game was startedayover. This pro-
cess was continued until tho card
house of inflated -fsxass had reached
its peak.
Instead of coming down from y /.
rickety structure to- a safe, fey, = A !.
tion, everyone tried to cling to ,he
top and shove his neighbor on fret
The laboring man says ,yT can1
reduce my wages up.eil the cost of
living comes down.. The producer
says; Il can't cut my prices until
wages comep1 down.,
To relieve the situation, Old Man
Economic Law@stepped ins and .kic-
ked the bottom out Of the card
house andslet the structure of fnfia
ted prices and wages down in a
heap, and that's about the way
things stand today.
The wise obss are getting up and
have already shaken the dust on OF

THREE RINGS AND RAINFALL

Some 20 years ago Prof, p A.
Douglass began studying the history
of climates as disclosed by the an
nual rings of trees growing in var
ious parts of the world. He dis
covered first by comparison, with
Weather records that kthei thickness
of these rings varied with the yearly
rainfall. He argued that the .rela-
lion would hold good for all periods
and that fluctuations of rainfall for
OF yeHrs could be deter
mined by studying tree sections. The
giant sequoias of California furnish
records extending over period of
Sooo years and more. In report

JUDGE LINDSEY PAYS FINE.

After controversy which mas
Iastedmore than five years in the
Denver courts, Judge Ben Lindsey re-
Gently paid a fine of $500 and COSTS
The case involved boy who was
arrested and charged with some
crime by the criminal court he
was handed over to Judge Lindsey
of the juvenile court, to whom the
boy told the whole story. The up
per court demanded to know what
the boy said and on the judges re-
fusal to divulge the secret, fined him
for contempt of court. On paying
the fine Judge Lindsey said he
thought it unfair to betray the
confidence OF a cnild'' and added
that he had no regrets for the long
fight to vindicate the principle in
volyed, even if by absurd law the
courts compel such betrayal" Many
friends were eager to pay the nne
for him. and many organizations
raised funds for the same purpose,
all of which the judge refused, pre-
ferring to pay himself.
