Waiting On George.

Let George reduce prices list.
l want a few more pickings."
That is the attitude of the av-
erage man in business today,
nearly three years after the ar
mistice.
1t is the reason why we are in
the midst of a period of abnor.
NAL business depression.
1t is the reason why six million
of our men are out of employ
ment.
1t is a condition which neither
congress nor the government ap-
pear able to correct.
1t is the attitude of the dog in
the manger.
This Country is made up of
producers, transporters, whole
salers, retailers and consumers.
The consumer wants to see d
reduction in the price of every
commodity except that which he
himself produces and offers for
sale. On the latter he clings to
his high prices.
Railroad officials want to force
a reduction in wages and saia-
ries upon their employees, but
do we not see desire on the part
of any of these high officials to
make a corresponding reduction
in freight rates or their own
swollen salaries?
The manufacturer clings ten,
aciously to the last penny of his
profits, yet he is strong for re-
ducing the cost of raw materials
he buys and for cutting the wa
ges Of his employees.
The retailer is keen on pulling
down prices in the wholesale
markets, yet he losses no sleel
in his efforts to his own.
The salaried man, those in thu
professions and the wage earne
are just yearning for an oppor
tunity to buy their food, cloth
ing and all of their other neces
sites for less money, but they
resist even the suggestion of {
curtailment of their own in
comes.
In fact, none Of US are ex
empt, speaking as a class. W.
are all tarred with the SANE
brush.
We are perfectly willing, ever
anxious, to have George do TIT
cutting and slashing of prices
but when it comes to hitting the
toboggan ourselves we simply
can't see it. Therefore, no one
sees it except under the com
pulsion of necessity.
Every fellow wants to continue
selling the product of his hands
of his brains at high price; but
most of US have concluded thai
we will shut down on spending

CIVIC ITEMS

Last Wednesday, March 10TH, was
a Red Letter Day in Belington, About
% men and boys, marshaled by Rev.
Radabaugh, Rev. Griffin and H. A. Nc
Coy, and armed with hatchets, axes.
rakes, etc, proceeded to the banks of
the river where they commenced a
general cleaning up of the under
brush, trash, garbage, etc, which had
accumulated there. The work pro-
gressed rapidly and by o'clock the
banks bore quite different appear
ance. The amount of tin-cans, wire,
garbage and all sorts of trash which
was destroyed, was indeed amazingg,
for it hardly seemed possible that our
citizens would use the river banks for
public dumping ground. 1t is to be
hoped that hereafter the banks will
be kept free of refuse, so that not
only Ourselves, but travellers passing
through en- the trains will have view
of clean, we'll kept, grassy river
banks, instead of sight hardly wor-
thy of any self respecting town.
Thursday and Friday, number of
the men returned to finish up the work
and Belington can feel proud of her
much improved river banks.
Proptly at o'clock, several of the
Civic League ladies served an appel
izing lunch to the workers in Luzad-
er's Ice-Cream parlor. Mr.. Luzadsr
having offered the League the use of
this spacious room for this purpose.
A vote of thanks should be given to
the men and boys who labored SO
willingly to clean up the unsightly
banks; to Mr.. Luzader for his gener-
osity; to Mrs. Beckner for making the
huge pot of coffe and keeping it hot
until serving time, and to the numer-
Gus ladies who SO kindly responded to
the call for sandwiches, salad, slaw
and cake.
This kind of cooperation will not
only make the Civic League a genuine
success in our town, but Will help to
make Belington one of the cleanest
and most beautiful town in the State.
