THE SHRINKING DOLLAR.
There is a story told of a ne
gro who caught a catfish. The
fishing was poor and the fish
when caught seemed to be quite
a fish, but when night came and
the fish was brought out before
his hungry family it seemed to
be so small until the negro de
clared that his catfish “had
swunk til it was all mouth.”
We might say the same thing
about the dollar. It will pur
chase only half now of what it
would in 1912. 'It would pur
chase only half then of what it
would have done fifteen years
prior to that date. These high
prices for what we sell make for
us Only a “fool’s paradise,” for
we must pay equally as high
prices for what we buy. The
seller is trying to keep up high
prices, and when he becomes a
buyer he tries to pull prices
down. He is trying to lift him
self by his bootstraps. The
lowering of prices will take care
of themselves. In the meantime
the sate thing to do is to live on
what you raise, and be thrifty
in saving yourself useless ex
penditures.
who wish to secure this $60 must

THE SOLDIER’S VIEWPOINT.
While our own boys have been
passing through the varied ex
periences which have made up
this great war we home folks
have been sitting still. They
have seen the World move, while
we do not know’ except from the
papers that the world has moved
at all. We might as well face
the fact that our boys will come
back to us changed. They have
been completely uprooted from
the life they lived. They .have
passed through experiences "of
, which we know nothing. Sol
diers they are, while civilians
we have remained. The family,
church, or community that ex
pects these soldiers to drop back
at once into their own grooves
in life will be sadly mistaken.
The returned soldier who ex
pects others to see everything
* from his army standpoint will
be equally mistaken.
f Compromise and mutual ad
justments are the only roads to
progress. Both the soldier and
\ ’ ,
civilian should see that it ‘is
only by discarding the nonessen
tials and by bringing together
the best of each that we can get
the full benefits of the war. The
soldier will find in • civil stan
dards jusFthose softening influ
ences to bnhance the value of his
military experience and train
ing. The civilian will find in the
honesty and selflessness of the
soldier just the tonic that-Js
needed by our flabby moral stan
dard
L
war he was known as “the slack
er,” or man who wouldn’t pull
his part on the rope to win the
victory. He was willing for the
other fellow to do his part of the
w’ork. In his excoaqp to get
away from the birthright of true
manhood he is sometimes called
the “artful dodger.’!. Again be
is willing to support his idleness
by the labor of wife, children, or
parents, and uguin he is a drone
who lives upon the rich stores of
honey laid up by his ancestors.
Down at heart when all the
clothing has been stripped away
he is merely a loafer. Some
times it is a case of the feminine
persuasion, whose sole aim in
life is to commit matrimony
upon some unsophisticated man
whose fortune is large enough to
enafble-her tacontinue loafing..
We sympathize very keenly
with the men who have recently
been discharged from the army.
They must adjust themselves to
their new surroundings. They
have won and richly deserve
their weW earned rest. If, how
ever, they have been the genuine
soldiers they are believed to
have been they will not rest so
long a time as to lay themselves
liable to the charge of loafing.
The needs for labor are too nu-
merous amf-pressing to admit of
too much rest. The man who
will do any work that he finds at
hand will rise to that work which
best suits his taste and ability.
Some of the officers in the Con
federate army became section
hands before they rose to become
the chief engineers of American
railways. Among the returned
soldiers from the 371st or negro
regiment are some 'who are tak

ano for his father’s farm. One
was arrayed in a Sam Browne
belt and a shrapnel helmet, and
was having the time of his life
with a host of, admirers „ from
the dusky maidens. Another
was “busily engaged in a lumber
yard. When the latter was
drafted he worked until night
before he repotted in Barnw’ell
the next morning. As soon as
he w’as discharged he pame back
to his old job again.- It will re

IIOUOR HOLOCAUST IN DETROIT.
A dispatch from Detroit states
that that city, which lias been
legally dry for some time, w«s
recently subjected to a perfect
deluge of whiskey as a result of
a decision of the Supreme Court
of the State of Michigan de-«
daring that the “search and
.seizure” sections of tbe State
bone dry law are invalid. Within
a few hours after the court’s
decision was announced, a tre
mendous amount of liquor was
carried by private individuals,
in bundles, suitcases, etc., and
by street cars, automobiles, and
other vehicles, from Toledo and
other Ohio points to Detroit. It
is said that the Dixie Highway,
the main tborougtfare lietween
Toledo and Detroit, was literally
jammed with automobiles laden
with liquor and that, during
this wild rush for whiskey a
number of men were killed aqd
more than sixty automobiles
smashed.
