THE HIGH GOST OF LIV-
IX G.
It is tin' hiufh cost of loafing
rather than the high cost of living
that troubles America today, is the
opinion expressed in a recent issue
of the “Corn ^xehange,” the
monthly magaine ofnhe Corn Ex
change Xational Board of Phila
delphia. The paiper s^ys that the
country is producing less per hour,
per man. than before the war al*
though the rate of consumption is
greater. This being true, priees
continue to advance and further
advances may in' expected until an
economic balance is effected be
tween production and consumption.
The solution of the" problem as
indicated bv President Wilson,
* *
Governor Harding of the Federal
Reserve Board, and others is to in
crease production and reduce ex
penditures.
Investigation by a large manu
facturing plant at Philadelphia,
says “Corn Exchange”, recently
showed that under identical cir
cumstances the production per man
per hour was one-half more before
the war although wages have been
doubled. Another investigation
which covered several states and
which was reported in the same pa
per showed that while the average
wage per man increased 240 per
cent, the production j>er man, per
hour, had decreased 62 per cent.
“The man who loafs on the jo*),”
Says the paper above Jiamed. -^no
matter what division of society he
belongs to deliberately elects to sur
render his claim to be an honest
fnan, for he is pretending to do
something that he knows he is not
doing. This lowering of the mor&l
standard of the people of the na
tion * * * menaces the stability of
the state.”

The paper concludes: “Let us be
honest with ourselves by recogniz
ing the high duty of working at
maximum speed at whatever task
circumstances bring to its. The
loafer is father of the liar, and the
liar is father of the traitor to all
that we hold dear in America. It
is the worker who has always won,
{.he shirker who has always lost.
Let us stop talking about the high
cost of living. Let us put d stop
to the high eostrof loafing.”
MORAL—DON T BORROW.
A man who was too stingy to
subscribe for his home paper sent
his little boy to borrow the copy
taken by a neighbor. In his haste
the boy ran over a $4 stand of bees
and in ten minutes looked like a
warty summer squash. His father
ran to his ^assistance, and failing
to notice the barb wird fence, ran
into that, cutting a hole ip
anatomy and ruining a $5 pair of
trousers. The old cow took advan
tage of the gap in the fence and
got into the corn field and killed
herself eating green corn. Hearing
a racket, the wife ran out, upset a
