TO Live, Statistics SHOW.

Washington, Sept. 25. Food, shell
ter, clothing and other necessities and
hundreds of comforts and luxuries now
are within the reach of residents Of
the United States at far lower costs
than in any country in the world. This
is shown for the first time in history
in data collected by the Federal Re-
serve Board and now available for
publication. America has always been
the land Of high wages and high prices
Wages throughout the United
States despite the wholesale reduc-
tions still are higher than anywhere
else in the world. Prices of virtually
all commodities at the same time are
record low levels in this country COM
pared with the European nations.
The general level Of wholesale
prices through the United States is
approximately Al per cent above the
level of the pre-war periods But in
other countries wholesale levels, ac-
cording to reports to the Federal Re-
serve Board, are as follows:
Italy 400 per cent above the pre-
war period; United Kingdom 100 per
cent; France 232 per cent; Germany
1857 per cent; Sweden Ill per cent;

is NOT A CANDIDATE
DR.. Chapman Repudiates Statement
That His Wife Wishes Postoffice.

A letter from DR.. A. L. Chapman
denies positively that his wife will be
candidate for the Hesmanville post
office, announcement of which appear
ed in the Reveille last week in a spe-
cial from Hermanville. DR.. Chapman
says:
Il notice in this weeks issue Of the
Reveille you have my wife's name as
one of the applicants for the postof-
flee at Hermanville. | don't know
who could have given you the informa-
tion, but want to assure you chat it
is mistake. Neither she nor have
ever thought Of asking for the office.
There are many reasons why she
would not have the office, foremost of
which is /. am able to make a living
for us both, and she does not have to
ask for the office; besides her health
would not permit her taking the Of
flee. Please make this correction in
next weeks issue
The Reveille's correspondent must
have been misinformed by some one
who simply supposed that Mrs. Chap
man would be a candidate. 1t is a
very easy matter for a newsgatherer
to be ed astray, even by well-meaning
people. No one knows this better than
a newspaper man.

HOME LIFE.

The best Of life should be and is for
most people the home life. Those
persons who are unfortunate enough
not to have experienced the truth Of
this fact have not known what is best
in life. If a man looking back over
the years finds that his greatest sat-
isfaction and happiness has come from
associations and experiences outside his
own family circle, it is a bleak and
desolate career that he surveys, how
ever successful it may seem to others.
The talks and walks that a boy has
with his father and a girl with her
mother, the games that the family
play together, the jokes that TO an
outsider perhaps would have little
flavor, even the quarrels, ending as
they do in reconciliations that make
the affections more warm than they
had been before-are there any better
experiences and memories than these
for anyoneg
Some people fear that the value Of
home life is less appreciated now than
it used to be. They thinq that auto
mobiles and jazz and movies and mag
azine fiction tend to make people rest
less, discontented with the quiet Of
fiOAAieg uloIDultlJcN ENtu Will bitil
homes. We think that there is not
much reason to be apprehensive. The
love Of home and family is the most
deep-seated instinct in the race.
Amusements and excitements that
prevent or diminish the manifestation
Of that instint can have only tenn
porary fascination. AS for the auto
mobile, it is for most persons a con-
venience that helps to enrich the fam
| lily life-though sometimes perhaps it
| impoverishes the family. The Aneri-
can people are too sound ct heart to
become careless and eallous toward
the family tie,
It is on the home life that our civ
ilization Is built. If the home life de-
Gays, our civilization will crumble. In
the home life Of every family the
members are responsible not only tC
one another butto the nation for the
maintenance IL a high standard. In
spite Of the prevalence Of fiction that
presents domestic unhappiness as itl
theme, we believe that by far thI
greater number Of Americans NEE
! the responsibilities and rejoicge in thl
happiness Of their home life.--Youth'i
/ Companion.

shipments.
Weak lines which have shown their
inability to flive" under the rate
schedules profitable to stronger roads,
would, under the plan, be attached to
systems more advahtageously situ-
ated, but it was announced that in ev-
cry case efforts were made to MAIN
tain the individuality Of existing
strong sytems.
Hearings will be called soon by the
commission to discuss the proposed
consolidation. Since under the law
no plan can be adopted which has not
been given the approval of the indi-
vidual lines affected, as well as that
of the commission, it was expected
that discussion would be prolonged
and that a number of notifications
from the plan made public today
would be suggested.

memberment of existing lines and sys-
tems,D the commissions announce
ment said. This tentative plan fol-
lows the line Of consultations worked
out under the direction of the inter-
state commerce commission by Prof.
William C. Ripley of Harvard Col
lege, but some changes were made and
alternative proposed.
Professors Ripley's report, issued
with the commission plan. suggested
that the consolidation. il decided upon,
could be brought about without sales
of properties, through the exchange
of securities between the corporations
participating in mergers.

Ex-PREsIDENT IMPROVING
Mr.. Wilson Has Been I'll for Two
Years.

Washington, Sept. Woodrow
Wilson fell sick man two ears ago
today Since hen he has passed under
the shadow Of death and out Of the
White House.
Thousands Of Americans Of what
ever political faith recalled the anni-
versary Of the beginning Of the form
er presidents illness and wondered
what he was doing. Although he no
longer figures in the daily headlines
as he used to, Mr.. Wilson still is
enewsv. Therefore it seems appropri-
ate on this occasion to tell the latest
news about him.
Mr.. Wilson, besides following the
ways of a retired gentleman with a
lively interest in the worlds affairs,
lives by the eight-hour day, which he
once told Congress was "adjudged by
the thought and experience Of recent
years a thing upon which society is
justified in insisting as in the interest
of health, efficiency and contentment."
He aims to have eight hours for sleep,
eight hours for work and eight hours
for relaxation and keeps to the sched-
ule pretty fairly.

THE PEACE TREATY
Senator Williams and Others to Fight
Ratification.

Washington, Sept. 26.-Senate war
fare over the German peace treaty
was resumed today and informal can
vases Of Republican and Democratic
leaders were said to show about a
dozen senators in opposition--three Of
them Republicans.
A notable accession today to the OPP
position ranks was Senator Williams,
Mississippi, veteran Democrat mem
ber of the foreign relations committee.
Although he had declared himself pre-
viously in favor of ratification, SEN
ator Williams announced to the Sem
ate that he had decided finally to vote
against it, because "desertion Of the
Allies was involved"
Deploring a policy Of national iso-
lation, Senator Williams said that at
first Sin moments of pessimism," he
had been inclined to support the new
treaties. Later, he said, had come
feelings of disgust and desperation"
and he had concluded finally to OPP
pose ratification because will not
be party to any agreement that
leaves out our Allies and associates of
the war and our boys and the other
boys who died on the fields of BATTLE
The new treaties, Senator Williams
said, constituted San ignominious and
inglorious postscript to American
war history. He also said they lacked
American guarantees of the German
cessions Of territory to France and
Belgium. France, said the Missis-
sippi senator, could not agree to dis
armament without assurance of safety
against Germany. He said 'the world
would disarm tomorrow" if the three
power treaty between the United
States, Great Britain and France for
military aid to France against Ger
man aggression should be put into
force.
