AT the same time the wise words

INCOME FIGURES.

Most people in Phoebe are average
Americans. That being the case,
the income for each during 1918. ae-
eordin" to figures JUST given out
by Uncle Sam, was 1854 for each
member of the family. This rose TO
an average of 1929 in 1919. But
It was only $35S in actual buying
power on the basis of 1913 prices.
Many thought they were getting
rich during the war. Big salaries
were common, but in a majority of
cases they were spent as fast as the

TEACHING HISTORY.

We are looking over a history of
this country a few evenings ago, one
OF the kind taught In the schools
around Phoebe, and we were struck
with the fact that almost everything
in it touched on war. 1t started
with the discovery Of America, and
quickly led into the revolutionary
war; then into the civil war; the
Mexican war; the Spanish American
war--and the new ones will have
few chapters added to detail the
World War. And we wondered if it
wouldn't e a good idea for some one
to write new history aout the
things we are proud of that do not
depend on war for their interest.
Discoveries, and great celebrations,
and events of worldwide interest
that are not connected in any way
with bloodshed, such as the opera
ton of the first railway, the flying
of the first airplane and the like,
are numerous enough 10 make a
good sized book. Why wouldn't
they make a more readable history
than one which deals almost entire
ly with destruction
