mislead into investing in a stock be-
ing sold in this county under the
name of Investors Syndicate. He al
Teges that a long list of purported
Ellis County investors was shown him,
among other names, those of Lou
Kraus, Gus Riedel, and Hi Joy, with
amounts of five to ten thousand dol
lars opposite the names, representing
the investment stock claimed to be
taken by each. All three of the
farmers named insist that they have
bought no such stock and Mr.. Lou
Kraus and Hi Joy have each. filed re-
quest that publicity be given to the
fact that they have not so invested,
and that they do not want anybody
to invest on the basis OF such repre-

Why wouldn't it be well for the

rur GERMANS GUESS WRONG AGAIN.

The German attempt to drag in the United
States to mediate the Preparations question was
expected by those who have closely followed
the course of German diplomacy since the YER
sailles treaty was signed.
That President Harding and Secretary Hughes
promptlyr refused this honor must be as pleas
ing to Americans generally as it is disillusioning
TO the Germans.
The role of mediator between our Allies, who
are trying to collect their just debts, and the
late common enemy. from whom they are try
ing to collect, would put this country in a ques-
tionable, not to say ridiculous. position.
The fact that the Germans have made such
4 request at this time shows that they are just
az wrong in their judgment of American psy-
chology as they were in 1917 when they adop-
ted a course that forced US into the war and
made certain their own defeat.
America has an equal interest with every
other nation in the settlement Of the reparations
question.
Until that settlement is made, and Germany
In good faith begins to pay what she owes, there
can he no real start toward European rehabili-
tation and stability.
The bill that has been presented to Germany
represents but a fraction of the actual damage
she caused the Allies, especially France. 1t Is
stimated that the French share OF what Ger
many is asked to pay is about IS per cent. OF
her damages.
The most valuable contribution that Ameri-
ca can make to the situation is to give moral
support to her former Allies in their determi-
nation to make Germany pay.
That seems to be the policy of the Har-
ding administration up to now and there is
every reason to believe that this policy reflects
the sentiment of the great majority Of the
the American people.

WAGES AND COST OF LIVING

.-rhe administration does not expect labor to
do It all. There must be further reductions IN
the cost Of living that will enable the working
man to accept a reduced wage"
This paragraph, quoted from the Washington
correspondence Of Fl. B. Hunt, one Of the most
reliable of Washington writer's, goes to the very
heart of the big problem now pressing for solu-
ton.
That problem is to nnd a new level where
wages and cost of living can meet with reason
able equity to all concerned.
That the administration realizes that there
is far too great discrepancy between the pro-
duction and retail sales costs of those things
which the workingman must buy, is q good sign.
We suspect that Mr.. Hoover is largely re-
sponsible for this administration point OF view.
1t is probably unfair to the retailer to charge
all of this discrepancy to him. He represents
but a part of the machinery of distribution.
Between him and the original manufacturer
are BROKERS, jobbers, wholesalers and whatnot,
all performing more or less useful functions. the
cost and profit of which are finally translated
into terms Of price to the retailer.
On top OF this, the retailer is entitled to a fair
profit.
What the workingman, or any other con-
sumner, is Interested in Is what he pays to the
retailer.
This is the figure that must be taken into ac-
count when cost of living. In its relation to
wages, is being considered.
There is no doubt that much Of the recent
talk about reduced cost of living is based upon
decreased prices received by the manufacturer
and farmer.
Some of this great decrease has been reflected
in retail prices, but not enough to stimulate
buying to the extent that it must be stimulated
before there can be a return Of real prosperity.
