MUCH BEING SOLD.

One of Grenada's leading merchants showed us some of his
invoices on clothing, shoes and Stetson hats a few days ago, all
of which he has had on his list of "cut price" articles; In many
cases, the goods were being sold at One-half original prices, or
at a loss from 20 to 35 per cent to the merchant. We make this
statement because there is more or less skeptcism about wheth-
er goods are really being sold at a loss and because we think it
due both the public and the merchants. 3
No doubt what applies to the goods above mentioned as to
prices runs through the whole list of other articles; in fact, we
think we are in a position to say that many things have been
sold at less than half-price of what they first cost the mer-
chants. And in using the words from 20 to 35 per cent" above
no account is taken of freight and store rent, light, water, fuel
and clerk hire. So then, if there be any who are not satisfied
unless they can buy at less than what it costs the merchants,
these have had ample reason to be satisfied during the last
three months.
Another thing: If we are to accept as facts what we read in
many trade journals and what some of our economists tell us,
we need not expect prices to continue downward. One of the
main reasons assigned for prices not going still further down.
ward in time for the spring trade is the price of labor. 1t ap-
pears that the manufacturers have been unable thus far to get
but a slight decrease, in many cases none, in labor and labor is
the biggest cost item in manufacturing. In this connection, too,
it is we'll to remember that we only within the past few days or
weeks have seen the published statements as to dividends of
many New England manufacturers, which leaves the lesson
with US that it is the manufacturer who has been doing the dig
ging, good and deep, of the public. In some cases, the profits
ran up over 100 per cent.
The home merchant is our %neighbor. The home merchant
is our friend, and we are sure that the public as a whole wants
to be fair in all things.

his sad refrain and say, like the old
man who is said to have nailed a

derwriting it with words, "them's

richness and a vain of humor about
the toast to Water" at the Arkan-

readers will no doubt enjoy:
"A Tribute To Water"
Colonel Bob Make was once called
to respond to the toast, water" at

ougEly expressed his sentiments in
the following:
Water is the purest and best Of
all the things that God created. l
have seen it glisten in tiny tear drops
on tn sleeping lids of infancy; l have
een it triclle down the blushing
cheeks of youth, and go in rushing
torrents down the wriukled cheeks
Of age. have seen it in tiny dew
drops OIL the blades of grass and
leaves OF trees, flashing like polish
ed diamonds when the sun bursts in
resplendent glory over the eastern
hills. | have sean it trickle down
the mountain sides in tiny rivulets
with the music of liquid silver strik-
ing the beds of diamonds. 1 have
seen it in the rushing river ripping
over pebbly bottoms, purling about
jutting stones, roaring over precipi-
tous falls in its mad rush to join the
mighty father of waters. l have
seen it go in it's slow and majestic
sweep to join the ocean,. Ard l have
seen it in the mighty ocean on whose
broad bosom float the battle fleets of
all nations, and the commerce of the
world. But, gentlemen, 1 want to
say to you now, that rs a beverage,
it is a damn failure"

UKULELE MEANS
Jumping FLEA

Richard Walton Tully, author of
"The~ Bird of Paradise" the success
full Hawaiian drama, which to
the Grenada Opera House Wednes-
day, January 26th. sheds some in
teresing and authentic light upon the
ukulele which is now so closely con-
nected with music that it has become
a fad all over the country and it is
sc tuneful and melodious that the
American public can't do without it.
Il hate to admit it" says Mr.. Tul-
ly, but the word ukulele from the
Hawaiian language into the English
has most unromatic and distinctly in
appropriate bearing upon music.
When the first Portuguese immi-
grants came to Hawaii in the early
eighties they brought a small sized
guitar. AS their instruments wore
out they making new ones and acct
IDENTIFY discovered that the beautiful
kao wood which grows only in the
Hawaiian Islands was peculiarly
suited for the construction of their
tiny little guitars. The native
Hawaiians took the instruments Gag
ely and induced the Portuguese
makers to make the guitars even
smaller so as to be 4 convenient
thing to carry around.
"The manner in which the instru-
mcnt is played-being held close to
the chest-and with the fingers Of the
right hand sweeping the strings with
great rapidity, caused the little in
strument to jump, particularly if the
tune was q zeal lively one, such as
the islanders like. This jumping
suggested the iLea of a flea and the
motives, therefore, jokingly gave the
little guitar the na-1e of 'ukulele',
which literally means 'the jumping
flea"

"BLIZZARD" MOST
DIFFICULT ROLE
Hard For Able-B odied Man To Act
The Part Of A Legiess
Criminal.

Stage hands, Gamers men and all
the actors engaged in making the
new Goldwyn Picture "The Penalty
unconsciously breathe a sigh of relief
| when Lon Chancey, who plays the
part of "Blizzard," gets out of har-
ness.
The term, in this case, has more
than ordinary meaning. In playing
the part of the mad man of the
underworld Chancey has stepped into
one of the most difficult parts ever
attempted in motion pictures.
Although a strong able bodied
mamie has to play the part of a
man without legs!
In Gouverneur Morris famous
story the chief character is a bril-
liant man whose legs were amputat-
ed at the knees when he was a little
boy. To get a man without legs who
was also an accomplished actor was
a difficult task. Finally Chancey vol
.%unteered for the part. Every day he
gets into a harness which straps the
lower part of his legs to his back,
thus enabling him to walk about on
his knees and giving the effect of a
legless man. The strain of holding
the position is so great and danger
of stopping the circulation so immi-
nent that the actor cannot keep the
harness on for more than twelve
minutes at q time. On the screen,
however, he is a wonderful imitation
of the character made famous by Mr..
Morris.
Chancey first came into promi-
nence as "a delineatOr of cripples in
'"The Miracle Man." where he ap-
peared as the distorted thief, who
faxed his injuries, in order to get
aims.
"The Penalty" is n of the Emil
nent Authors series, being produced
by the Goldwyn Pictures corporation
of New York. 1t is to be shown at
Opera House next Thursday.

ECHOES CHARLIE
BOUSHE'S SENTIMENTS.

Charlie BouShe is one CIR; las
well known characters whom e, cry
body likes. He d~eservedly has lots
of friends. History records,-of
course there are none about Grenada
whose memory runs back that far
that in the days Of the old fashion
ed square dance, which before the
close up dance, the bunny hug and
Shimmy-she-wobble superseded
''swinE n and all promenade"
Charlie BOushe used to fiddle and
the bow to charm and S0othe with
a cl%eVerness that would have done
credit to q highly trained artist. 1t
was sur enough music he made. The
melody of his fiddle and bow echoes
forth in his habits and dealings with
his FRIENDS and neigIbors.
He was reared a few miles west OF
Grenada and now resides upon the
same hill top where he first saw the
light Of day. His father and mother
CROSSED over the river" a number
of years ago, but he is blessed with
having a good sister, Miss Addie, to
look after the home and to, as near
ly as possible, take the place of his
mother. There is something akin to
the sublime in seeing brothers and
sisters live together in love and har-
mony. It is not only a tribute to
them but better still a tribute to the
lives and memories of father and
mother. This brother and sister
show forth most happily their rever-
ence for their parents and the exhi-
bition of that heaven-bcrn regard
that always begets interest and ad-
miration.
But what the writer started out
to comment on in this article is the
humor sometimes displayed by Mr..
BOushe as he reverts to some of the
days That are now numbered with
the things that are not. While Mr..
Boushe recognizes that when Bac-
chus held sway up and down the land
and many enjoyed his e~xuberance,
there were thousands out of that
many who were ~shipwrecked and
drowned beneath the waves of the
wine that overlooked the cup. His
mind, as well perhaps of that of
mary others, frequently reverts to
those days; thuc it was that he
CHANGED to find in and old scrap
book recently which his sister or
mother had no doubt gathered to-
gether, the clipping that appears be-
low and which no doubt echoes his
sentiments as well as those of scores
of his friends. One can hardly fail
to feel a sort of sympathy for those
whom Mr.. Boushe's article appeals
to. Mr.. Boushe did the Editor of
this paper the Kindness to bring the
scrap book article to him for publ
cation, a fact which accounts for it's
appearance n til ese Columns.
In publishing the article, there is
no desiae or attempt to harrow the
