SERVICE BIG ITEM
IN COST OF LIVING


WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Service
costs absorb 4S cents Of every dollar
which the consumer pays for agricul-
tural products, according to Repre-
sentative Sidney Anderson, chairman
of the joint commission of agricult-
ural inquiry, which has been making
an intensive study of agricultural
problems. The investigatio discloses
the fact that 81 cents of the consum-
er's dollar represents the cost of pro-
ducing the commodity which he pur-
chases, IA cents represents the profits
to the various interests which ham
die the commodity, and 40 cents rep
resents the cost of handling, or SER
vice. This includes such items as
packing and grading Of goods, trans
portatiOn, insurance, terminal and
warehousing charges, advertising on
the part of the retailer, or whatever
agency disposes Of the goods, rents,
wages and overhead charges. Over
head charges could again be subdi-
vided into such charges as cost of
local delivery, cost of bookkeeping
and credit system (which includes
losses ON charge accounts), tele-
phones, etc.
When the commission took up this
phase of it's work there was no COM
pilation of reliable data from which
an accurate idea of distributive pro-
cesses could be obtained. To get an
accurate knowledge Of the entire re-
lation Of costs of distribution to
prices paid to the producer and prices
paid by the consumer, the commission
set up machinery Of it's own which
engaged in extensive research upon
this subject. The commission feels
that it probably has more informa-
tion, and the information it has is
more nearly correct, than anything
which has heretofore been presented
The tremendous disproportionate cost
of distribution, which includes cost
of all the instrumentalities and serv
ices which intervene between the or
iginal purchaser and the ultimat'
consumer, is the logical and inevita
BILE result of the complexity of mod
ern civilization and the concentration
of population in cities. The com
mission hopes to begin making par
ii al reports of it's findings to tn
Congress about November 15l 1T
complete report must be filed no
later than January 1, next.
The commission conducting the in
vestigation says people complain o
too many middlemen-an opinion i
which the commission is disposed t
concur, with the proviso that if sue
is the case, it is the fault of the buy
ing public. as no middleman can ex
| ist without customers who are will
ing to pay the price he charges fo
the service he renders, be that servic
necessary or unnecessary, valuable Q
valueless.
The commission is disposed to tn
| view that there can not be much rt
duction in cost of commodities to tt
consumer until the consumer display
a willingness to get along with les
service. Legislation can not remed
this factor, because what is unnece
sary and superfluOus in the way
service in one community may
quite necessary in another commuit
and what is an exorbitant charge f
service in one community may be
very reasonable charge in anoth'
Moreover, legislative bodies have
power to prescribe the number
middlemen who may handle an ar
Gle or arbitrarily fix a charge whi
they may make for their services.

CITIZENS DUTY TO OBEY Law.


There are too many laws, Of course.
Many of them are unnecessary, some
are vexatious and some are even vic
ious.
But it is the duty Of every citizen
to obey the law so long as it is on the
statute books. There is no other safe
course.
1t is perfectly proper to insist that
a law is wrong, and to work for its
repeal, but it is never safe to viO-
late any law.
When we begin to violate any law,
wecreate disrespect for all other
laws, and when our laws fall into
disrepute our civilization ends.
Ours is government Of law. We
cannot have government without laws
and obedience to the laws. Without
this, life and property are not safe.
1t is, therefore, the duty of every
citizen to obey the la whimself and
to insist upon obedience to the law by
all others.
A good citizen will not only obey
the law himself, but he will assist in
the enforcement of the law upon and
for others.-Cody (Wyo.) Herald.

The first church was part of

The first revival that probably
made Methodism a fixture IN New
Castle. occurred In 1897. under the

here. about 1861. and through the
liberality of Thomas Tasker, presi-
dent Of the company and also
local preacher in the church. the
present church building was erected
in 1853, at which time the name or
Nazareth was dropped and the now
church odihce was drdicated the

during the past sixty years I'm 1876
the large Sunday school rooms were
added TO the rear of the present
edihce. A new parsonage was pur-
chased opposite the church a few
years ago and the interior Of the
church was greatly improved and
