PROSPERITY AND HIGH
PRICES NOT RELATED

Washington, April % Capital
News Service. THE Associated Ad-
vertising Clubs of the World is an
international organization represent
ing the best and most progressive ele-
ment in modern business. Its presi-
dent, Mr.. Charles Henry Macintosh,
says that the relation of prosperity
and high prices is fictitious, and that
ii is perfectly possible for the coun-
try as a whole to be extremely
prosperous in an era of low prices.
"If high prices meant prosperity,
Russia would be the most prosperous
country in the world today" said Mr..
Macintosh. "Yet in Russia, where it
costs two thousand rubles TO mail
letter first class, men starve who
have money but no food TO buy with
it,"
Economists in the government
service point out that the height or
lowness of a price cannot be mea-
sured in terms of money, unless the
worth of the monetary unit is also
made a part of the measurement.
Thus, a German mark, once worth
about twenty cents, is now worth
a fraction of a cent. An object once
to be bought for one mark now costs
two hundred marks. yet the value Of
the object and its relative price is
the same. Only when price increas-
es faster than the value of the pur-
chasing unit sinks can absolute price
be said to rise Disparity in price of
goods and price of money is frequent
ly caused by too rapid rise or fall of
commodity prices, which is the fun
damental underlying Mr.. Maclntosh's
warning that those who expect the
return of war time prices or ex-
pect the lower limit of the price de-
cline within a few months are mis-
guided optimists and speak certain
ly without intelligent knowledge of
the facts of history"

might be accomplished in the COM
munity to which every Christ loving
citizen owes first and faithful ale
glance. We are in nowise dispos-
ed to be at all personal, or to be so
considered, as If that should be the
case we might lose some Of our
best friends. Then too, the criticism,
II taken as such, might be hurled
back our way, but by way Of advance
acknowledgement we plead guilty of
having too large a share In just those
things, but the beam in our own eye
does not wholly prevent our seeing
the mote in the optic of the other
fellow. This we do not say for apollo
gy, but by way of confession.

May tnirtietn, memorial day, the
day set apart and observed in almost
every nook and corner of the United
States for ommemorating the MEM
DRY and decorating the graves Of
those fallen during that bloody period
of 61-65, ought to teach us all
lesson unforgetable between the dates
as the years go by Rather We should
say that the actions and attitude OF
the grand old men now living and
of those who took a part in the events
that tore and bled and divided this
Country even to households, and have
since responded to the last busle call,
should give to us the lesson. The
men who wore the blue and those
who were CARRIED in the gray have set
an example of getting. together, pull
ling for the same common ends,
making the Nation worth while and
residing together in perfect unity, un-
surpassed in all history. If we, the
taught each other through four long,
bloody years, not infrequently one
in the gore of his brother, for prin-
ciples deemed sacred and unquestion-
ably right, were to hold out the hand
of charity, display the same traits OF
brotherly love, often as it seems TO
c4a is
frequently displayed by blood broth
ers, what might We not do? 1t has
been our observation that the blue
and the gray nave even grown clan
ish. What if Churches, the differ
ent denominations, the various IsmE,
all of WHOM profess to be following
the Lowly Nazarene (and they are)
should get together, work and move
forward in solid mass with the same
exhibition Of bFotherly love and adj
miration as is displayed by the fast
fading veterans of the war OF the
States? The answer can be but one,
that is, that the Country, through
Christian endeaVoT, would be captur-
ed for righteousness and Christian
Religion and the Devil whipped to a
FRAGILE in less than no time, so to
speak. Too much, in fact more
hold-aloOfness has recently been dis
played in this section than ever be-
fore noted, at least in our day. One
person, in numerous. instances, with
a pail of ice water can dampen, chill
and maybe drown, more individuals
who would like to be travelling the
trail that leads out of the bog, and fen
and foul mOrass than a half dozen
other parties can rescue in twice the
length of time. A load sufficient in
weight TO tax the capacity of all the
workers cannot be carried to the
goal when a portion of the laborers
are not only bearing down but kick
ing obstacles in the path of those
willing TO carry. If the bucket bril-
gade, the old-water-heavers, could
only hear the plea. of the Master to
east their rusty pals in the junk heap

WITH REFERENCE
TO THE DOG LAW

Frankfort. Ky, April IL, 1922.
Mr.. G. A. Ralph, Sheriff
Ohio County,
Hartford, Kentucky.
Dear Sir:-As sheriff of your
county l am sending you a copy of
the Dog Law and wish TO call your
especial attention to Sections II, IS,
10 and 20 and 80 thereof. AS the
enforcement of this law is in the
hands of the local officers in each
county, We are writing to ask that
you give this matter your close and
prompt attention and see that all
owners take out licenses for their
dogs. Owners not licensing their
dogs should be brought into court
and show cause why they have not
so licensed them
Sections IS and 10 give specific
instructions to the sheriff stipulat-
ing that it is their duty TO go upon
the premises to ascertain if any dogs
are owned or harbored by parties
falling to take out licenses on same.
We would like to hear from you and
know what progress has been made
in this matter.
Very truly yours,

1t will be seen from the above that
the state officers will require the
county officers TO enforce the dog
law. The people must therefore get
their dog tags if they have not done
so.
