over it.
Yes, managing wife is easy, until
you get one.

A loud mouth makes a big noise
that soon dies out.
Few men are more important than
others think them.
Borrowing money is easy when you
have it to pay back.
Money never makes a man, but it
unmakes a lot of them.
The price of hard coal is out of
sight-and so is the coal.
You can often tell a wise man by
the things he doesn't say.
Yes, they call them airships. but II
takes gas to make them fly.
Some people never have to pay
bills. Nobody will trust them.

SHEEP FROM HOLY CROSS
FOREST TOP THE MARKETS

Some very intert sting records were
made by stockmer on both the Denver
and Kansas City markets this year
with sheep grown on the ranges within
the Holy Cross forest. r. A. Tawney
topped the Kansas City market on both
the 18th and 18th of October ,and his
closest competition on both days were
lambs also grown on the Holy Cross.
George Jenkins of New Castle topped
the Kansas City market on October 4
with a bunch of rs pound lambs from
the Marble section. Practically all of
the lambs this year were sold weigh.
ing rs to 80 pounds, remarkable
showing when it is remembered that
lambs grown in most other parts of
Colorado weigh around go pounds, or
70 pounds at the outside. The abund-
ance of good range, water supply and
the skill of the owners themselves in
handling the stock is amply attested
to by the showing made.
The sheep utilize the high country
which is unsuited for cattle, and there
is practically no friction between the
cattle interests and sheep interests
such as was the case in the early days.
Division lines are strictly adhered to
except where cattle and sheep utilize
the same range, which occurs on some
ranges. When it . considered that
The Glenwood post., 1922-12-07

only the roughest and most inaccessible
areas are used by Sheep the importance
to the public Of securing substantial
year after year utilization of the bene-
fit which is to be derived from these
areas, is fully apparent.

GERMANY LOST 1893 u.BoATs
Paid Dearly for Submarine Activities
Against Allies.

Against Allies.
Germany paid an enormous price
for the submarine warfare she waged
during the World war, according to
figures from the war archives Of the
German admiralty, recently. made
public. Out Of total of LOLA cas-
ualties among naval officers, excluding
marines and coast artillery, 518 per-
ished in submarines; SO more were
slain In aircraft battles and only four
out Of every ten naval officer casu-
alties met death in their element for
which they were originally trained.
The exact number Of submarines
lost during the war, before the feet
surrendered to the allies, was, accord
ing to official figures, exactly 100. The
commanders of 14O Of these vessels
perished with their ships, as Indicated
by the ominous dagger sign before
their names in the official lists.
The virtual certainty Of death for
all engaging in submarine warfare
hindered toward the end the activities
and enterprise Of German submarines
and made 1t increasingly difficult to
get crews to man those floating coffins.
The sZeppelins made but little better
record, as % out Of % rigid dirigibles
were lost during the war, proving YER
table death traps for their comman-
ders and the entire crews.

GOWN CREATOR SKATERS
ANCIENT PARIS TRADITION
Tries to Beat Hard Times by
Inviting Press Men to
Fashion Show.

That little world Of its own In Paris
which has to do exclusively with the
creation Of women's clothing has been
thrown into high state of excite
ment through the recent radical" de-
parture Of one Of its leading members
In inviting newspaper men to view his
spring and summer dresses. 81,
In doing so the dressmaker
smashed q tradition as old as the
Paris dressmaking business itself,
which has always boasteo Of the fact
that it needed no newspaper to assist
it to greatness.
The representatives Of the press
have been vigorously barred hereto
fore and many Of the big establish
ments whose names are well known to
American women have gone so far as
to demand q special passport with q
picture from all those who entered
their establishments Those few spe-
cial fashion writer's who have obtained
admission were made to believe they
had been highly honored.
Jean Patton, young Frenchman
with American ideas, decided recently
that his associates were wrong. He
therefore arranged a special party, in
vited all the best-known newspaper
men in :Paris-foreign and French
and revealed to them the secrets of
his art. Anyone was free to carry
away a careful description Of the
gowns displayed.
Patou's move has caused great dis
cussion in the Paris fashion world and
there Is much speculation as to wheth-
er 1t will force other dressmakers to
open their doors to the press. Many
well-known houses which have felt the
pinch Of recent hard times are won
dering whether they are wrong.

The general level Of living costs is
13 per cent below what 1t was year

of labor show.

sary amount of recreation, costs but

most all necessities has been going on

nothing in sight in the general eco
n0mic situation to indicate that the
low level has yet been reached. A

by month as the price statistics flow

ment, where the statisticians preside

Rentals Still, High.

Hental8 SttII dton.
A plus instead of a minus sign be-
fore the percentage Of change in the
cost Of housing shows that this is the
only major necessity which has failed
to follow the general downward trend
Of prices. In this connection, how
ever, the reports Of the labor depart.
ment are admitted to be not true re-
Election Of the actual conditions. This
is because the department received re-
ports on rents only on the basis Of the
receipts Of the first or original land
lords. No consideration is given to the
receipts Of persons who sublet to other
tenants the apartments and homes
which they furnished, bur which they
now no longer occupy.
Rentals charged in subleases are
known to have experienced a deep de-
cline. But the labor department has
no record Of the subleasing system.
Many persons who formerly received
from 500 to $3.50 month for apart
ments which they had sublet are now
getting but half that sum In many
cities.
In one or two cities rents and build
ing prices have fallen into the proper
tions that obtained before the great
war, according to reports to the Fed
eral Reserve board. Boston Is one such
city. This, although not yet reflected
to great extent in the rentals re-
ceived by the. original landlords or
owners, nevertheless indicates that
soon the original rent level will begin
decline as well as the level of rents
received under subleases.
The problem of high rents is begin
ming to solve itself as building opera
tions increase throughout the country,
officials say.
Decline in Food Prices.
The figures for the decline in prices
cited above are percentages Of de-
crease. The change in the actual
prices of given commodities also is
recorded, in part, in the labor depart
ment files. Sirloin steak, for instance
year ago cost on the average 4O1t
cents pound, according to the rec.
ords which cover prices charged in
more than sixty cities. The same steak,
or pound Of 1t, today averages but 35.3
cents retail. This is a decline Of near
ly IL per cent In year. j
A year ago pound Of flour cost e.7
cents when an average was taken for
all the principal cities Of the country.
The same flour now costs an average
of 40 cents. rs
Changes in the actual prices Of some
principal foods, as averaged by the
labor department, are shown in the
following table:
