A gohd deal of light"is being thrown on the school teacher and the salary attached to the teaching job by the newspapers of the country these days, and the more the question is discuss ed the more absurd and impossible boeomoR the 'public’s attitude towards the payment of those employed in this fundamental work. It is very evident The yiiuinr-feUow who wants -to- roll up a fortune, must first learn to roll up his sleeves. Your neighbors can’t bridle your tongue, so you had better take care of it. HIGH PRICES AND HIGH WAGES High prices, both for labor and commodities, are generally re garded as one of the penalties of war. and the return of prices to a lower level lias been looked for ward to as one of the blessings which would follow the declara tion of peace. Up to the present time changes have been insignifi- eaat and competent authorities are of the opinion that pre-war prices will never return. Dr. Irv ing Fisher, professor of political economy in Yale University, makes the following statement upon the subject: “Business men should face the facts. To talk reverently of 1913-14 prices is to speak a (lead language today. The buyers of the country, since the armistice, have made an unex ampled attack upon prices through their waiting attitude, and yet price recessions have been insiirnificant. The reason is that we are on a new high-priee level, which will he found a stubborn reality. Business men are going to find out that the clever man is not the man who waits, but the one who finds out the price facts and acts accordingly.’’ High prices and high wages are not to be deplored after they have become fixed. The hardships en tailed come in conjunction with the period of adjustment, and dur ing this period some branches of business and some industries suf fer. Recognizing the necessity and permanence of high wages every business man should adjust bis business accordingly, so that there may he both a margin of profit for himself and increased wages for those who are in his employ. In most cases the reason why high prices fall so heavily up on the salaried man is that the business man has been sjpw to add a wage increase to the price of that which he has to sell. Whep all adjustments are properly made high prices will mean no greater hardship than low prices. 4*rrm—ntt hhji Itst.i of tjm sit Button'TttUf the teaefiers in tliis couatry/tiave been teaehing just for the love^of the work.

Hyrald, ury of Being a School Teacher in Georgia. ’ ’ “An imaginary budget for the per sonal expenses of the teacher, who received 4fl,000 a year, is reproduced. “ ‘Her room costs her $5 a week/ according to the budget. ‘It is not a large room. The location,is near the school, so she has no ear fare. Surely that is not extravagant. She gets breakfast and supper in the house for $7 a week, and. her lunches cost her 2o cents a day. She decides to reckon expenses by the year, allowing no ex tra for vacation outings, which might be classed as extravagance. Her laun dry is 75 cents a week and. when she washes out things in her room she does it on the “Q. T.,“ as the boarding house* keeper objects. Total to date, $2(10 for rent: $456.25 for food and $30 for laundry. “ ‘She allows herself four letters a week, which means $6.25 for postage. While she lives within walking dis tance of her school, she rides to church, ajid three other times a week at the least. This amounts to $20.80, and does not provide for visits even to the suburbs. ‘All her clothes are inexpensive— she hesitates at the word cheap.

This year she bought a st her $1, and she allows $5 for toilet articles, soap, hairpins, nets and all other small articles, including sew ing materials with which to- “make over” her obi clothes to-go another season. This makes her total for clothes $r&6.50, with a resulting outfit which is far from satisfactory. Compulsory teachers’ insurance brings the total to $988.79. “‘She has $M.21 left, with which She must .pay that dentist’s bill which is looming before her, and all luxuries.

Four- fifths of the- film is devoted to actual battle scenes which were taken on the western front in France* during some of the fiercest lighting, and the filming of these battle scenes cost the lives of three camera men.

A new schedule of telephone exchange rates becomes effective in Clinton May 1st., by direction of the Operat ing Board of the United States Telegraph and Telephone Administration, acting under the order of the Postmaster General of the United States. . - • As you know, all of the lines and property of this company are in the possession, control and are being op erated by the United States." The new rates are necessary in order that additional revenue may be secured by the government to meet the increase [operating expenses. The causes which make greater telephone revenue necessary are due to the new condition* and the new price levels introduced by the war For Sale—Good male, milk eovr. pigs seven weeks old, sho»ts 50 to 80 lbs.

More than two ytfirs ago the Company foresaw that the telephone system would be operated at a loss unless the rates could be adjusted to meet the increasing costs of all elements entering into the production of service. A similar rate adjustment would have been unavoidable un der private control and the new rate schedule is practi cally the same we would have sought in 1918 if the govern ment had not taken possession of our property. As stated by the Postmaster General, the owners of the telephone system do not benefit in any way from rate changes. Practically all of the increased operating ex penses which require this additional revenue are due to increased wages paid to employes to enable them to meet the new conditions of life in the present day. It is neither practicable nor desirable to reduce wages, and so far as wages are concerned we believe that portion of the increased operating expenses to be per manent. The new rate schedule is fair and reasonable and the percentage of increased revenue which it will produce Ts much lower than the increased cost of other services and commodities of a similar character. . * ^ * Complete detailed information about the new rates may be obtained at the managers office.
