WHY PRICES STAY HIGH

wages remained high, and any CO., operation and storage. both of which the farmer lacked, they were able to keep up their prices to a great extent
 But the farmers form about 40 per cent of the buying public. Having very little money, this large section of the buying public bought very lit tie Manufacturers of farm imple- ments immediately felt the pinch. Their sales in many cases fell off more than half. Other manufacturing lines also felt it. As a result factory employees were thrown out of work. Unemployment set in. It affected millions So the buying public was still further reduced, demand declin- ed still more, the cost of every re taiing operation rose and the retailer with his high prices was less than ever in a position to reduce them-
 It is a statement which is easy to understand, but hard to remedy. If a bushel of potatoes would buy a pair of shoes in 1913, but it takes two bushels of potatoes to buy a pair of shoes now, then the potato growers can only buy half as many shoes now as in 1918 One result is that employees of shoe factories will be thrown out of jobs. Then they can't buy any shoes, either
 Really, the farmer. if at all tntelh- gent, is in an enViable position. He at least can eat. It is only the farm CT who raises nothing but one money crop who now suffers-the man who raises only tobacco, or cotton, for ex- ample. The farmer who produces hogs and chickens and keeps dairy cattle and raises potatoes and beans and other vegetables, need go to market for very little of his food. He is vast Iy better off than that eX-shoe fac tory employee. for example.
 Business will never pick up until the farmer once more is able to buy a pair of shoes with bushel of po- tatoes. That can be accomplished either by giving the farmer more or the shoemaker less. The diagnosis Is easy, but the only remedy seems to be a slow process of readjustment-

EDISON CO|MPAN
 MAKING SURVEYS
 IN TIE COLORADO

I. G. Coockroft, hydrographer for the Edison Electric company. arrived Saturday from Lees Ferry, where the company has made application to the federal power commission and the water commissioner of Arizona for a power site It is now engaged in preliminary work to save time in the event of the granting of the permit
 This work consists of the survey of the hiGhline and measurements of the river, flow in the latter, the United States geological survey co. operating. The weather bureau also has established an evaporation sta ton at that point There are five parties in the field along the Colo rado. the Green and the San Juan rivers. The surveying is nearly fin ished but the gathering of the rest of the data will run over into next year.
 It is estimated that this work will furnish power equal to one-fourth of all the water power now in use in the United States; that it will hold enough water to irrigate 2,225,o00 acres. The dam will have a height of betwen 400 and 500 feet and will back up the water in Green river for 200 miles. making all the stretch navigable.
 It is believed that the lake thus created together with the roads that will be built in consequence of con struction, win open to the world this beautiful interest ng but hitherto al- most unknown region.

PROF. JOHN A. HARRIS 49,.
TO TEACH IN CITY
WILL BE WITH THE FACULTY OF
THE COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL e.,
... FOR ANOTHER TERM. @ T..

Prof John A. Harris, for several
years head of the commercial depart
ment of the Central County High
School, will be member of the facul-
ty OF that institution next year. The
statement made in The Herald of yes.
terday with respect to vacancies in the
faculty for next year was an error so
far as Prof. Harris Is concerned. The
latter has since the close of school
had under advisement several very
flattering offers that pay much more
than he receives here and he has CIV
ZEN them consideration, but the crafty
ing announcement is authorized today
that he will be with the faculty for an
other term. "
q Prof Harris is not only one of the
most capable instructors that ever
taught in Columbia but he is one Of
the most liked men in the city. He is
exceedingly popular with the students
and has the happy faculty of inspir
lug them to make their best efforts.
He is largely responsible for the very
remarkable strides made by the COM
mercial department
