The latest street talk is that some

Price Readjustn,ent
Remains at Standsfill I

Price readjustment is at a stand
still. with the products Of the farm
left at a disastrous disadvantage in
relative purchasing power. the Min
nesota Farm Bureau federation says
in q statement analyzing the trend
of prices.
The statement was based on the
wholesale price index prepared by
the federal bureau OF labor statistics.
and data gathered by the research
department of the national farm bu-
reau organization.
Reconstruction is falling to recon-
struct the purchasing power OF the
farmers products" the farm bureau
declared. The record for commodity
prices since April indicates that the
decline In prices has almost spent
itself. although comparison OF
level in September and October
shows that the farm product and food
groups. including many commodities

1.-THE prices OF the necessities OF
life appear to be marking time. with
the great agricultural population still
under a handicap so serious that its
buying power is not recovering. 1t
must recover before the real revival
OF industry and business can take
place."
The firm bureau statement quoted
figures OF the bureau Of labor statis-
tics to show that since June. 1921, the
average price level Of all commodities
has risen. instead Of declining.
Taking the 1913 price level as 100.
the level In June. 1921 stood at las.
having declined from l77 since jan
uary. But In October. the level had
risen again to $50. This development
might be taken rs an Indication that
the price level can be expected 70 re-
main considerably above the 1913
level
"Thc farm products group. MS list.
ed by the federal bureau OF labor sta.
tistics. was three points lower IN Oc-
tober than II was In September. and
the food group had declined four
points. fuel and lighting had gone up

Farm products. food and metals
were the only commodity groups
whose price level was lower than the
general price average for NIL commod.
tiles IN October. the statement con
tinued. pointing out that farm pro-
duets stood at the foot OF the list. 81

The NelU Year

| The New Year opens with all at.
mosphere brighter and lighter than
was experienced during the greater
portion of the year Just closed. While
money is not much easier than dur
the past several months, there is
more confidence among the people,
and without confidence very little can
be accomplished. Individually conf.
dence means character. In bust.
ness way it means credit. A man
without character has no credit, and
without credit he gets nowhere in
business.
Lack Of confidence was in large
measure responsible for the bad con.
ditions OF 1891. This condition reach.
ed from the individual to the biggest
concerns in the country, and is the
heritage of the war. The new year
opens with confidence partially re-
stored and business on the upgrade.
with gradually increasing speed
While its momentom depends largely
on big business, those in all walks of
life can aid materially by putting a
shoulder to the wheel of progress.
Physiology ii a wonderful thing.
The frame Of mind has a great deal
to do with us. Like begets like. II
the sun shines brighter to us. We
radiate sunshine. II we go about
burdened with gloom. We pass it
along.
There appears no question that 1922
will be better than 1921. though prob
ably may not be as brisk as during
the war. but as we stated recently,
who wants war prosperity with all
its attendant horror and anxiety? It
hit us all. whether we had sons and
daughters in the service or not. When
we stop and think. the awfulness of
those days overshadows all the pros.
perity OF those times. Would you
sacrifice son or daughter for a
chance to make money? Not II you

Those conditions were forced upon
us in the days we now look back to
and speak Of as prosperous ones.
They were prosperous when measured
in dollars. but bring horror to all who
consider how and why they were
prosperous.
The New Year Is time for reso.
lutions. Let us resolve to look on
the bright side. BY SO doing every
thing will lie brighter. We are crea-
lures OF our own making and largely
victims Of our own circumstances.
AS we see things. SO they are mainly
with us. II we do right we will see
brighter days. II we see brighter
days. others will. There is happi-
ness and confidence in the rays Of

Maybe, when you get near the rail-

is mere whim. Your judgment IS
not speaking. In such case, wait for
your sober second thought.
Remember that a fast train can
run quarter a mile from the whistling
post to the crossing in fifteen seconds.
Do you know just exactly how far
you can make your car 20 IN one
fourth of a minute? Most of Us fail
to do our best in an emergency,
Do you admire the man who tries to
to beat train over Il crossing, when
he has his family or friends in the car
with him, depending upon him for pro-
lection? If such a man were to run
his business so carelessly as that, the
balance would show up on the wrong

High Cost Of Living

Washington, d. c.. Aug. 14.-For
several years the average American
family has been fighting and seeking
to cyade the encroachments of the high
cost of living, has been economizing
and pursuing the elusive bargain sale,
mending, cleaning, patching and hop
ing for better days, when dollar
might be expected to buy dollars
worth of food or clothing. Some ma
terial decreases have aroused hope
which the pending tariff bill is des-
tined to utterly destroy. The cost OF
living, which has been somewhat re
tuced, is about to take a turn upward.
In the things we eat this will hardly
be noticed, for the producer of things
which grow out of the ground will get
no more for his products by reason
of the tariff, but in all Of the manufac-

Tobacco Market
About All Over

The tobacco in Montgomery and
surrounding counties has practical
lv all been delivered, the receipts at
the local market being very light for
the past few days, with all indica-
tons that this market will be closed
the last of this week, although no
authoritative notice has been re-
ceived to this effect.
To date the local market has re-
ceived 4,91S,935 pounds. on which
a total advance of $336,919.34, or
an average of $7.46 per hundred,
has been made. The growers are all
well pleased with the advances made
and the money put into circulation
has helped local business materially.
Most of the money received was
used in paving debts and borrowed
money and when the growers re-
ceive their final settlement, much of
which will be "velvet," business is
expected to increase materially.
