18 COST OFL1VINO DECREASING?
According to racant statistics living
costs in tha United States are dropping;
It Is claimed that they have de
creased some four or live per cent,
but. frankly, to the cltlsen it does no'
tbua appear. Judging by the prices
we are paying prices are not lower.
On the contrary, we note an actual
rise in some lines and a stationary
condition in most, while a few?a
very few show a small decrease.
We have kept close tab of our house
bold expenses for the past two
months, and they are rising instead
of falling. The quality we are using
Is not better; nor Is the quantity
more?only the price total mounts.
We should like to know what are the
experiences of others. Are "their experiences
similar to ours? Do they
note any decrease?
The question very naturally arises
why is this condition? Why is It that
prices do not drop, and drop considerably?
We common people have al
ways considered that with the return
of the men from abroad; with the
filling up of the depleted labor ranks,
wages and commodities would drop,
but even wages appear to retain their
position. Fifty cents pere hour was,
theprice demanded for a handy man' '
work around the garden the other
day, and none could be obtained less
than 45 cents an hour. This for unskilled
labor, that was bringing 15
cents previous to the war. What Is
It holding things up? Will the drop
come and come with a flop? Is it a
case of "someone putting muscilage
on the wheels," or what Is preventing
a get-back to ordinary prices and ordinary
conditions?
A Detroit girl Is missing from
home and in describing her to the
newspaper reporters the mother said
she had a birthmark just below the
right knee. Keep an eye out for her.
One war gardener declares that th>
worms are eating his cabbage, beetles
are riddling bis cucumbers and
moles are undermining bis beans?
but he's going to have ft good or
of radish seed.

SUMMER READING.
It isn't often that we call a man's
attention to the fact that he owes it
to himself and the community in
which he lives to have his name upon
the subscription list of his home-town
paper. But yesterday we suggested
it to one gentleman and he replied:
"It's getting 'round to where It's too
Infernal hot to read."
There is a anan whose conversation,
then, is only interesting in cool weather.
For it' Ts only when a man
reads that he can talk In an interest,
lng way. And there is also a man
who falls to "understand that the old
world if still whirling along at a rapid
rate In hot weather the sn>"e as
In the cooler-"months, an>l that If
he expects to keep up with it he will
have to read "summer news" just the
same as that dished out by hfcm home
newspaper in the fall.
But the fact of the matter is the
home paper is a home institution, and
as such is entitled to support twelve
months in the year. It would be a
fine community if we quit going to
church and kept our children out of i
Sunday school just because the house
of worship is not as comfortable in
summer as it is in winter. And
wouldn't it be bad judgment to quit
doing business with the banks through
the summer months, or to buy up
enough groceries in the early spring
to last until cold weather?
The man who argues that it is too
hot?any day in the year?to read
and keep himself posted on affairs
about him Is oh a par with the old
fossil who once told us that "he took
more papers than he could read."
The wall of the Huns appears to
be due to the fact that they never
knew a square deal had so many
sharp edges.
As one Cheraw man said the other
day, when you And an autolst who
uses his horn too much you'll also
And a man who uses his mouth too
.much.
Villa waa reported to hove lost a

By August 1 all wires, telephone bis
and telegraph, will have returned to P?c
their owners, and the doxology will
be sung by 100,000,000 people. c
The attempt of Government control big
of public utilities has been a disma 1)08
failure. Absolutely correct in theory, 'ba
It has fallen down completely in practice,
and very natu rally men are as I'
lng the question "why?" The answer
Is plain. "WW are not yet ready for
this step. As a people, we have no?
yet arrived at that point where ou
representatives are efficient or honest
enough ho handle the public proper
ty. As a war-time mAtsure, possibly
the taking over of the wires and other
puDiic uunues was jusunea, out never
wbb a case more conclusively prov
en than this one of the utter inabilit'
of the Government to run priv\!
j enterprises.
Absolute failure has hern the result
Welcome home, oh wires. Now lets
have the railroads as soon as possibl"
A dollar In Cheraw is worth 100
cents, the same as everywhere else,
but It will only buy about thirty cents
worth of grub here. Wonder if it i;
the same way everywhere?
We have also noticed that rubber
heels are getting to be almost a
common in this country as rubber
necks.
Something has gone out of the life
of a anan when he no longer has a
long summer school vacation to look
fdrward to.
A grass widow is generally one who ?
is looking for "green fields and
pastures new."
One of the hardest things we have
to fathom in lnnkinc at pninn oinlono
in and around Cheraw is to tell wlilc
is the vegetable and which is the
weed.
It's too bad the Italian delegate
didn't take his wife with him to the
peace conference. Then he'd have
had somebody in Paris who would
have agreed with him.
It's a pretty fast world, but we notice
that burglar-proof safes are still
being robbed while fire-proof buildings
burn up every day.
Remamber, that even if you can't
do anything else you can at least help
things a little bit by keeping out of
the other fellow's way.
The faaf X^at' there were 1,400 men
TlHWTrrfsalafteB as 'a result of the
peace conference comes pretty near
explaining why they were stringing
it out.
If any man in Cheraw feels uncomfortable
during the next few weeks
but fails to have the usual dark-brown
taste in his mouth he should be wisr
eonugh to keep his feelings stricth
to himself.
