According to r?cent statistics living
costs in the United States are dropping;
It la claimed that they have decreased
some four or five per cent,
but. frankly, to the cltlaen it does no'
thus 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 bouse
hold expenses for the oast 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 always
ccnsidered 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
tbeprice demanded for a handy man'
work around the garden the other
day, and none could be obtained less
than 4G cents an hour. This for unskilled
labor, that was bringing 15
wins previous io me war. wnat 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 eatir? his cabbage, beetles
are riddling his cucumbers and
moles are undermining his beans?
bnt he's going to have 1 good or
of radish seed.

SUMMER READING.
It isn't often that we call a man'i
attention to the fact that he owes i
to himself and the community ii
which he lives to have his name upof
the subscription list of his home-towi
paper. But yesterday we suggester
It to one gentleman and he replied
"It's getting 'round to where It's to<
infernal hot to read."
There Is a <man whose conversation
then, is only interesting in cool wea
ther. For it' Ts only when a mai
reads that he can talk in an interest
ing way. And there is also a mar
who falls to "understand that the ol<
world if still whirling along at a rap
id rate In hot weather the stu^e a;
In the cooler 'months, an<l that i
he expects to keep up with it he wil
have to read "summer news" just ?h<
same as that dished out bv hfcm homi
newspaper in the fall.
But the fact of the matter ia thi
home paper is a home institution, ant
as such is entitled to support twelvi
months in the year. It would be i
fine community if we quit going t<
church and kept our children out o
Sunday school just because the housi
of worship is not as comfortable ii

THE WIRES LEAD HOME.
By August 1 all wires, telephor
and telegraph, will have returned i
their owners, and the doxology wi
be sung by 100,000,000 people.
The attempt of Government contr
of public utilities has been a dism
failure. Absolutely correct in theor
it has fallen down completely in pra
tice, and very naturally men are asl
' ing the question "why?" The answi
is plain. W*W are not yet ready f<
this step. As a people, we have n
i yet arrived at that point where 01
t representatives are efficient or hone
i enough ho handle the public prope
, ty. As a war-time mAisure, possib
. the taklnsr over of the wires nnri nth
I public utilities was justified, but ne
; er was a case more conclusively pro
, en than this one of the utter inabili
of the Government to run prlvu
enterprises.
Absolute failure has been the rest

It's a pretty fast world, but we n
tice that burglar-proof safes are st

o
Remeimber, that even if you cai
do anything else you can at least he
things a little bit by keeping out
a the other fellow's way.
J The fact that there were 1,400 mi
dri%lng salaries as a result of t
peace conference comes pretty ne
explaining why they were stringii
it out.
If any man in Cheraw feels unccv
fortable during the next few wee
