Clerk Arthur L. Woodruff because of the fact that his office does not come before the voters of the town at this years election.
 Election to this office occurs only every two years and MT Woodruff was elected last year He has held the post of town clerk for the past 1o years and during this time he has gained the respect and confidence of the townspe ople because of the eff cient methods employed in the con- duct of his office and the courteous manner with which all who have occasion to deal with him are treated.
 Mr. Woodruff has long been asso- ciated with the business of the town, having served for many years as sec retary of the local school board, which post he was force to resign some time ago because of the great amount Of work required by his present office.
 No Further Announcements
 It is not known whether any Of the retiring members Of the school board would seek reelection to their posts at the coming election. There seems to be some uncertainty IS to just whose terms are to expire this year Due to several resignations which have become effective since the last election the personnel of the school board has been kept up by the appointments of replacement members.
 No one seems quite certain whether these appointed members are to serve the uneXpired terms of the original members or whether the place are to be declared vacant and their successors named at the com ing election.

PRICE CUTTING HALTS
BUSINESS REVIVAL
Manufacturers Show Sell Nothing
Under Production Costs, Steel
Head Says.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


CLEVELAND, August 2.-Failure of
American manufacturers to study their
costs of production and base their prices
thereon is major factor in the slow
return of normal business this year,
according to E. j. Kulas, president Of
the Otis Steel Co.
Industry is in the throes of a price,
cutting war which has carried prices in
many lines under production costs,
Kulas declares He believes that some
measure of stability or recovery may
shortly be expected.
I'm the steel industry, and q good
many others, buyers are hunting for
bargains, and sellers are cutting into
or below the profit line to produce
them" says the manufacturer in the
current issue of Printers Ink. 1.-THE
special price and the private deal
which is public property few hours
after it is made-are being substituted
for published daily quotations and bust
ness in the open.
Stability and confidence naturally
give way to fluctuations and distrust
and the orderly flow of commerce that
looks always to expansion is halted by
hit-or-miss system in which restric-
ton becomes inevitable.
Undoubtedly the desire of the buyer
to get low prices is the first link in the
chain of events that leads to unprofita-
BILE business, but there should be a line
below which the seller will not go. In
order to establish such a line, however
the vendor must know his costs instead
of guessing at them"
