( i : ? .f] j (Richard Spillane in the Philadelphia J Public Ledger.) . j( j We may see higher prices for vaI />nmmndities. but the signs are ] many thai: the tide has turned in the! cost of living. Less than a month , ago demand far exceeded supply in j J everything, or at least so it seemed.;' Now many characters of goods are.1 offered in quantity, in many instan-! ces at a surprising reduction in price and in some cases at a sacrifice. j; Don't get the idea that the sharp change in position that is marked by j the seller seeking the buyer instead ] of the buyer seeking the seller indi- , - * mi cates that goods are pienuim. nn=y are not. There is a shortage of near- ; ly everything. It is not so pro- 1 nounced as some months ago, but it . persists. It has been accentuated heretofore by not a few speculators in raw materials and some manufac- < turers who have not played fair with ] the public, and by sortie avaricious i I commission men who have gambled ] ! in goods, holding them off the markets < | in order to get unconscionable j profits. i | Correction has come rather sudden- 3 fon+Av woe a Hrnn in exnorts < IIV vy 11 i.av/wi *t MM M ?- ?r ... x to Europe, owing to the disorganiza- ton of exchange. Another and larger i element has been the steady develop- j ment of a determination of many j j persons to limit purchases to urgent | needs and retrench wherever possi-j ble. The third and greatest influence 11 i has been the drastic conduct of the j< * ? -? TUn Anmn. ! ] oanKS an curuuimg crcuit. xnc *,****??*-1 I lative effect of the three has had a j smashing effect on prices. J.' : The "banks had to act. The situa-; ! tion was too hectic and unsafe. Credit ' is the life blood of business, but credit j was over-extended and money reser- , ves very low. In the tightening of the money j * lines the good and the bad have suf- J fered, the bad, it is to be hoped, the most. | Concerns that have not been able > to have their loans extended have had to fincl buyers in a hunry for ^ their gooffs. The men holding raw materials and the manufacturers i holding finished stuff and the com- ^ mission men keeping stocks "in suspension" have had to hustle for someone to buy from them. And the retailer, in the fact of a falling market, has had to hasten to dispose of his stock of high-priced goods. Sooner or later this thing was bound to happen, but no one expect-j ed it to come as sharply and dramat-1 ically. It struck the whole country j at once. Such feverishness and wild-; ness and price-kiting as have charac-, terized the last year or two could not; last. j But there will be a recurrence un- j less labor and the consuming pubh'c; exhibit common sense. There is aj shortage. Don't imagine that one, sharp decline in one major line cl furnishings means that the trouble is over or in the way of being over absolutely. It is a palliative, and as such is most welcome, but it is onlyi a palliative* The only cure is in pro- v duction. Continued economy will r help, help greatly. But prices will t rise again and possibly go much j higher unless extravagance is curbed y and production is increased. And production will not be in- v creased greatly unless better direc- I tion is given to labor. The decreased ( c production, exclusive of that caused j ? by strikes, has not been due an&r more| t to slackness on the part of the worker than to l?.ck of direction by or in- r competence in the management fro n I ; the boss down to the minor foreman. U This is not a theory, but a fact, demonstrated by analysis the country T nvpr. 1 Bring living1 costs down and you'll have fewer strikes, perhaps. At least you'll remove one of the \ stock excuses for strikes. r t President; De on the imporl Records: Ex Uptown C PURELY PERSONAL. rhe Movements of Many People, Newberrians, and Those Who Visit Newberry.

WORLD SET BACK, SAYS HERO POET V. * ', 7 Martial Glory Hold*vNo Appeal to Siegfried Sassoon. New York Sun. ' Siegfried Sassoon, best known of the younger English poets, who arrived here recently on the? Rotterdam for a lecture tour, is not a misanthrope, he asserts. In politics he is "extremely radical," he says, and although he fought in France and Palestine with the British army throughout the entire war, receiving two wounds and the plaudits of his, - * i countrymen for tne ot> monms ux sexvice, he finds nothing in martial glory but a camouflage to screen what he calls the unutterable brutality of war and its entire lack of justification. Sassoon looks more the athlete than the poet. He is 34 years old, stands six feet two inches and weighs about 175 pounds. He suffered shell shock in 1917, and faced the Hindenburg onslaught in March, 1918, when he was with the Seventy-fourth * < tt_ CllVlSlOn 01 Xlttlg s mmy. , 'Old Order Changeth. The old order has passed for Sassoon. He can write no epigrams on the things of nature, no odes to the erreat out of doors that made him a big figure in English literature before the war. His whole viewpoint has been changed, he declares, and all he can write of now is the "flesh and blood," which the great conflict has ushered in as the only theme for poetic inspiration. "This is a period of transition for rce," he said at the Hotel Seville, in liscussing the latest volume of joems, entitled "Counter Attacks," ;vhich has been described as among ;he "truest of human documents writer about the war." "Formerly I rould write my verse in its abbreviated, epigrammatic style on my thumb lail, so to speak. Having passed .hrough the war, I find that Walt Whitman is my ideal and I can find expression only for the big things and j n a big way. "The war has made the world safe j or democracy," he repeated; "it has lad a retrograding effect, at Ie?st hronghont Europe, and civilization s to ?oeak Hi " wonare corf ; a Shop. * j has been hurled back into a grosser materialism than it ever knew before. I will not be able to write for several years?until I can get my-bearings."' Hardy Leads Poet?. Thomas Hardy, author of "Tess o Mm TViTTrh^rviilAK." i? the zreatesfc living English poet, says Mr. Sas-\ soon. Hardy is now 80 years old and* has gone from prose to verse, he said* but the high regard in which Hardy is held was recently attested by the presentation to him of an autographic volume of verses by Kipling, Chesterton, Bridges and other bards. Mr. Sassoon made the presentation. Sassoon is literary editor of the London Daily Herald, a labor organ, ^ and while he refused to discuss theLloyd George policies, he said he had taken an active part in the last election against the premier. During hiastay in America a volume of poems which he wrote in the trenches "Picture Show," will be issued by a New York publishing house. Licking Germs Off Pottage Stamps. Bridgeport Post. Some folks don't lick postage I * because they taste Hire slue and others because they have heard" : that there's germs on them. But most in Imste cive them a lick j m o i and let it go at that. ' , The Medical Times put two investigators at work on the subject some months ago and their report is jusfc out. They obtained stamps from j fifty different places, mostly business offices. Some were kept-exposed on ! the desks, some in boxes in desk ! drawers and some were carefully r locked in cash registers. No matter! jthe degree of exposure didn't count, i In every instance the 'guni on the 1 back contained deadly disease germs. The investigators found the bacilli of typhoid, diphtheria/ pneumoniasskin diseases and blood diseases. Not a few, but many on the back of every stamp. In twenty cases, the colonies germs were too numerous to count, j Of course, as the Medical Times! points out, if thesfe germswere virulent to everybody, - great! epidemics would result* so widespread is the* practice of licking stamps. Neverthei less, it is probable that many people * have been stncsen m mis w?y wuw were physically in a condition to be receptive to the disease bacilli. Few _ /know whether they are in such condition, hence it is just as well tomoisten the stamp some other way than with the well-kiown tongue. \ Subscribe to The Herald and News, $2.00 a year.
