BIG COMMUNITY

ent committees to whom have been
assigned the work of arranging de-

ty picnic to be held at Lancaster on

ing their efforts.
People of both country and city will
join in making this an eventful occa-
sion.
Especially are the farmers urged to
be present. Splendid crop prospects,
which presage a bountiful harvest, has
engendered an optimistic complacency
for the future.
In view of this the farmers are in
vited to take the day off, fill the bas-
ket to the tOb, bring the family to this
city for day of relaxation.
The KiWaniS club, sponsors for the
community picnic, have not announced
the full program, but have given as
surance that the day will be filled with
events, both interesting and amusing.
Sports, music and speeches will fea-
ture on the program, with the picnic
dinner at noon as the piece deresist-
ance. Efforts are being made to en-
gage a speaker of prominence for this
day, and no doubt will be fully de-
cided upon in few days.
AS an earnest of their cooperation
business men of Lancaster signifed
their intention to close the shops on
that day.
The petition, which was circulated
among them some time last week, was
filled in short order, and, with their
signatures, follow:

business men of the city of Lancaster,

POTOSI VOTES
NEW BRIDGE AT
N ASSEYV LILLE
Electors 0. X. Plan to Build
175-FOOt Span Over
Grant River

Town of Potosi did some advanced
thinkink on last Tuesday, July IA,
at an election, voted an appropriation
for the building of the Masseyville
bridge over Grant river.
Only one vote was cast against the
project. The contract was let some
time ago, but it SO happened that the
appropriation had not been passed on
by the taxpayers-hence this special
election.
This will be one of the large bridges
of the county when completed. 1t will
have only one span, ITS feet long, and
will cost $29,400, for the structure
alone. The approaches will be extra.
Because of the large amount of drift
wood that comes down Grant river in
times of high water, it was thought by
the engineers that pier could not
be placed in the middle, hence it will
be a single span.

Magellans of Lancaster
Now on BillOWy Deep

Thinking possibly of what relief
from the limitless expanse of gray
ocean the sight of one lone tree would
present to the eye, or how the famil-
lar "honk" of an automobile would
tickle the ear like symphony, A. L.
Sherman, editor of the HERALD, and
Dick Sweeney, of this city, are now
five days out from Montreal, from
whence they embarked Friday for a
tour of Europe.
According to a letter from Mr.. Sher-
man, mailed at Quebec, and. which ap-
pears elsewhere in this issue of the
HERALD, they will land at Glasgow
next Saturday, Aug. 1, where they
will proceed on the contemplated itin-
erary of the continent.

Economics Govern
All Price Lists.

Economics, world supply and de-
mand. evolution in demand and use of
commodities, eventually sets the
price of every commodity Combina-
lions may combine, labor unions may
fix wage scales, government boards
may set selling schedules. and so on.
Sooner or later Old Man Supply and
Demand fixes the tariff. The law is
unacceptable.
A signal example is the loss of pas
senger business on the railroads and
the rise in the use of water vehicles,
privately owned and bus lines. Rail
road fares went to SO a mile, making
the cost of a hundred mile journey for
a family of five, $500. One can run
a motor car containing the same num-
Der of people, the same distance, for
about S4.00
The poorest business of all is no
business at all. Commissions may fix
prices, but the public does not have
to pay. Nearly always a way is found
around a price that seems excessive.
Rail executives understand the law
of economics. We confidently expect
a request from rail officials for per-
mission to set passenger prices on a
lower basis to meet competition. 1t
may so back to &c mile.
