and retail prices make up the rear guard both IN
advance and retreat
The one change IN the procession was with
labor. In prior periods of economic prosperity and
depression. bringing alternately high prices and
low prices, wages have been last to go up and
first to go down. For the first time world war
conditions and labor organization forced wage
scales to keep step up the ladder with prices, or
to go ahead Of them. In the reverse action wages
as a rule have followed not led. 1T was believed
that the war had fixed new basis for wage
scales. This that taking certain level, which
in Great Britain. was fixed after considerable
advance. wages should move on a sliding scale
with the cost of living. Also. for the first time,
organized labor recognized quantity production as
an element in wage fixing
If this system applied to the American
wage scale, the basis of the wages OF 1914,
and Of the average production per man in the
various crafts. the wages today should be O. per
cent more than of that date OF course this per-
eentage would vary in different cities as based
largely the principal items of rent building
materials, foods and fuel, where the spread OF
retail prices is greater than other items ac-
eording to locality But it seems fair basis at
least for negotiation and equable basis from
which organized labor can work.

"Sunday" and "the Sabbath"

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
It is insisted that Sunday laws
are necessary to the preservation Of
"the American Sabbath" That may
be true Of "the American Sabbath"
as a civil institution. but II is not
true of the Sabbath of the Lord.
Those who regard any day as unto
the Lord" will regard II whether II
is protected by the civil law or not.
1t is a we'll known fact that there
are in Washington and its suburbs
a bout 1900 Christian people who
observe. not Sunday, the first day
of the week, but Saturday. the sew
enth day, as holy unto the Lord.
Not only is this day without legal
protection, but in many respects 10
the busiest day of all the week.
That fact, however, does not deter
from its observance those who re-
gard IL as unto the Lord" Nor
does the noise and hustle OF a busy
city disturb their worship. They
ask no legal protection for the day
and neither do they expect any.
They are not disturbed. simply be-
cause they have not accustomed
themselves to think and to feel that
others should be compelled TO be-
lieve as they believe, to do as they
do, and to worship at the same
time and In the same manner as
they worship. As for the shows,
they receive but little patronage
from these people upon any day and
none at all upon their day of wor-
ship.
Their Sabbath law IL not a civil
statute Of the United States. but
the Fourth commandment of the
Deoalogue. framed and promulgated
by the God Of heaven. They ask
nothing more; they desire no other
law: they need no protection in
their observance OF the day. The
laws that protect all well-behaved
people are all they need; the stat
utes that safeguard the right OF

Reduction in Prices.

THE National Industrial Conference Board, of

seven years. The prices of 1914 are taken as the
base. hxd at 100 According to these tables food
prices were at their peak year ago in July stand
ing Wholesale at 2s8 and retail at ais. The cor
responding figures for July this year were 100

reached the peak price in the spring of 1920 at
500 wholesale and zoo retail The level now is
I8I and I64 of July.
The fuel wholesale peak was z7z last fall and
is now 1914 The prices of other articles entering
the cost of living list, were highest in November
1920 at 400 wholesale The highest cost of liy-
ing mark reached in July last year at 26z

County and State Fairs Cannot Pros
per Without the Help of the People
The season of fairs is at hand. Do
zens of fair associations are bending
efforts to the gathering together of
the best that their communities, coun-
ties or states possess. These associa-
tions are spending money more or less
Iavishly in order that the best may
be secured and exhibited. Fair officials
and fair enthusiasts are laying awake
at nights planning and planning how
to make their fair better than it ever
was before or better than that of some
other community. county br state.
But with all the above, there re-
mains one thing which is absolutely
essential in order that these fairs
might be successes. That thing is. "rhe
Moral Support of the People for Whom
the Fair is Being Held" without this

the fair enthusiasts may as well dis.
band and give up their fond hopes. The
people of a community, of a county. or
OF state have it in their power to de-
termine the success or failure of their
fair.
The fair has come to be regarded as
one of our leading institutions; an in
stitution which is essentially educa-
tionaL For that reason 1t behooves all
of us to support our fairs. Helm make
yours better. DO not help to make 1t
poorer by practicing the hands-off''
attitude. Go to your fair. Place some
thing you are interested in on exhibit
tion there. Contribute to the fund for
prizes. Encourage others to do ike

your benefit. for your familyis benefit,
and for your neighbor's benefit. Join
