ADVANCING PRICES

There are many indications that the
country is in for another period of
advancing prices. Higher prices are
trade. The two conditions go hand in
hand. When prices are rising people
freely buy; when prices are falling,
nobody buys more than is necessary
to supply actual needs.
The Wollman Review finds no dis
position on the part of large consum-
ers to offer serious resistance to the
of steel rails were reported last week
at an advance OF SO a ton. In the
textile industry there. has been a sub
stantial rise in selling quotations, with
a large turnover. This is true in the
case of silk, wooden and cotton pro-
ducts. Instead of operating to check
demand, there is every evidence that
SO pronounced, and the prospects of
retail demand are so good that large
distributors have shown willingness to
do business at the higher levels.
I'VE feel" says the review, that
the fundamental factors in the gen
eral economic situation are working in
favor of a further sustained advance
in the general price level. The forces
likely 10 bring this about consist of
the probability of a further expansion
in production which will have to take
place along the line of higher costs
for fuel. materials and labor. These
are conditions that necessarily will
have to be reflected in prices. In
addition to this, we must consider
the fact that ample credit facilities
are available to take care of pur-
chases ona higher price plane"
1t seems, therefore, we are likely to
see further development in the process
of price advances, with the probability
that the larger credit accommoda-
tions called for will stimulate the up
ward movement. Recent declines in
quotations of Liberty Bonds are attri-
buted to sales by large banks and
corporations which have been called
upon for funds to finance the grad
ually expanding industrial develop
ment of the country. This release of
these securities shows that they are
not held for their tax-exempt feature,
when prospective profits in business
cause a demand for cash. I

MY HOPE

MY HOPE
This is my hope, that no friend shall call
And find me but selfish after all;
That never a kindly word shall die
On my lips unspoken as men go by;
That l shall not sit with the setting sun,
Counting the deeds which / might have
done.
This is my creed for the common day,
To play the man as l go my way,
To meet what comes with an upturned face
And bring to 4ly duty a touch of grHce,
To do what 1 must, and little more
To do what can till the day ts Ger.
To do what I can that will scatter cheer
And brighten the lives of my neigbbors
here;
To speak in kindness. and now and then
To serve the needs of my fellow men;
Never to sigh at the long days end
Over wasted chances to play the friend.
This is my hope, when the day shall close,
That may 60 to my nights repose
Glad with the thought that I've done my
best
And haven't failed In some simple test,
without regret at the setting sun
For some kindly deed which l could have
done.

THE NICE WOMAN

wonder why the most scathing
criticism you can offer on a woman is
to call her nice?
You might accuse her of half the
crimes on the calendar, and deal her
a less deadly blow than just to call
her a mice, little woman" There is
something snappy and poppy about a
lady bigamist that piques your curi-
osity about her; murderess is always
more or less a romantic figure; even
a shoplifter has something about her

Bat nobody breaks his neck to meet
the woman who is described as being

unseen, for you set her down as one
of the people who have no more thrills
to them than a boiled dinner. Good
and wholesome, and nourishing, but
nothing about her that tickles the
palate, and makes you want second
helping of her society.
A girl is even more damned by the
faint praise Of being called mice

ON SECOND THOUGHT
BY JAY u. HOUSE.
tFrom Philadelphia Public Ledgsr.)

Those who have written to resent
or eriticise the columns irreverence
for the Yale and Harvard football
teams stress the point that each IS
playing a hard schedule this year.
apparently somebody has ''kidded"
Yale and Harvard into taking a
chance. Since we seem to be the only
person who has had the remerity pub
lcly to Josh" either school, would it
be assuming too much If we claimed
the credit?
It has been pointed out in the con-
nection that Yale plays iowa this sea-
son. The schedule committee dis
played fine brand of perspicacity.
If Yale is going to play Iowa, this IS
the year to do it.

president from 1912 TO 1920 is not
well taken and does not apply. That,
our correspondent will recall was the
period of the monarchy. F
1t is true that Mr.. Gompers was
often referred to as president emeritus
from about 1918 on; but, strictly
speaking, there was no president dur
ing the, period to which reference is
made.

we could Influence the woman vote

taking in too much territory. We

where everything that was known to

common knowledge. All that was
ever claimed in that community was
that the cigarette produced insanity,
physical deterioration and decay,
! lingering disease and death.
And so we think the Rev. DIR. Straton
is too sweeping in his condemnation

against the cigarette, he must do 1t
within the bounds of reason.
