statement, lust wait and you'll see"
This is the first time in the history

The Legionaries played good ball
and then defeat was largely due to
errors made in the iniield and their
inability to meet the slanting de-
liveries of Old Man Frye. Miller re-
ceived a good game and the undi-

proved the ability Of the manage

we do not realize is that prices have been as high three times before, at intervals of about 50 years and that between the peaks each time. they have touched levels as low as in 1896. While earlier statistics have not been compiled. there is data enough to suggest that this same swing from high prices to low prices and back again, over long periods, might be traced far back into history.
 Prices turned at the same old peak in 1920. It is exactly in accord with past experience that there should be q short upward reaction. at this time, from the first sharp decline of last year. But, 1t would be against our economic history if prices did not show a long, slow trend towards a level that more nearly equalizes the ] buying power of agriculture with tha

 "As prices of goods go down, the value of money goes up. That's only saying the same thing backward. Then everyone who holds q contract agree ing to pay him stipulated amount of money every year, like rent, or the interest on bond. has something that is worth more, year after year. This holds now just as the opposite was true from 1914 to, 1920. Then these same long-term bonds lost value because prices were rising sharply.
