IS COST OF LIT1N6 DECREASING?
According to recent statistics living
costs in the United States are drop- a
ping; it is claimed that they have de- t<
creased some four or Ave per cent, a
but, frankly, to the citizen it does no tl
thus appear. Judging by the prices p
we are paying prices are not lower, il
On the contrary, we note an actual "
rise In some lines and a stationary li
condition in most, while a few?a
very few show a small decrease. tl
We have kept close tab of our house tl
hold expenses for the past two r
months, and they are rising instead li
of falling. The quality we are using *
Is not better; nor is the quantity v,
more?only the price total mounts, it
We should like to know what are the ii
experiences of others. Are their ex- h
perlences similar to ours? Do they h
note any decrease? s
The question very naturally arises n
why .is this condition? Why is it that
prices do not drop, and drop consider- h
ably? We common people have al- a
ways ccnsidered that with the return "
of the men from abroad; with the f
filling up of the depleted labor ranks, c
wages and commodities would drop, ?
but even wages appear to retain their o
position. Fifty cents pere hour was s
theprice demanded for a handy man' *
work around the garden the other d
day, and none could be obtained less t
than 45 cent* an hour. This for un
skilled labor, that wa9 bringing 15 t
rents previous to the war. What is
it holding things up? Will the drop *
come and come with a flop? Is it a 8
case of "someone putting muscilage 8
on the wheels." or what is preventing '
a get-back to ordinary prices and or- 1
dinary conditions?
A Detroit girl is missing from t
home and in describing her to the h
newspaper reporters the mother said e
she had a birthmark Just below the
right knee. Keep an eye out for l^r.

SUMMER READING.
It isn't often that we call a man's
ttentlon to the fact that he owes il
> himself and the community in
rhich he lives to have his name upjor
lie subscrlntlon list of his home-town
aper. But yesterday we suggested
: to one gentleman-and he replied:
It'a getting 'round to where it's to<
afernal hot to read."
There is a iman whose conversation
hen, is only interesting in cool weaker.
For it is only when a mar
eads that he can talk in an interest
rig way. And there is also a mar
rho fails to understand that the ok
rorld is still whirling along at a rap
1 rate in hot weather the sa>"e ai
the cooler months, an<l that i
ie expects to keep up with it he wil
iave to read "summer news" just th<
ame as that dished out by him honu
lewspaper in the fall.
But the fact of the matter is th<
tome paper is a home institution, ant
,s such is entitled to support twelvi
nonths in the year. It would be i
Ine community if we quit going t*
hurch and kept our children out o:
lunday school just because the hous<
>f worship is not as comfortable ir
ummer as it is in winter. Ant
v'ouldn't it be bad judgment to qui
loing business with the banks througl
he 8umimer months, or to buy U|
mough groceries in the early sprinf
o last until cold weather?
The man who argues that it is tot
">t?any day in the year?to reat
ind keep himself posted on affairi
ibout him is on a par with the olt
ossil who once told us that "he tool
nore papers than he could read."
The wail of the Huns appears t<
>e due to the fact that they nevei
mew a square deal had so man]
harp edges.
As one Cheraw man said the othei
ay. when you And an autoist whc
aes his horn too much you'll alsc
ind a man who uses his mouth to<
luch.
Villa was reported to hove lost i
eg three years ago but nobody hai

THE WIHES LEAD HOME.
By August 1 all wires, telephone
and telegraph, will have returned to
their owners, and the doxology will
be sung by 100,000,000 people.
The attempt of Government control
of public utilities has been a disma'
failure. Absolutely correct in theory,
it has fallen down completely in practice,
and very naturally men are asl<
ing the question "why?" The answer
is plain. W% 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 measure, possibly
the taking over of the wires and othe;
public utilities was justified, but never
was a case more conclusively prov
, en than this one of the utter inabilit
of the Government to run pri\u*
enterprises.
Absolute failure has her n the result
i Welcome 1iome, oh wires. Now lets
have the railroads as soon as possible
i A dollar in Cheraw is worth 10(1
j cents, the same as everywhere else,
. but it will only buy about thirty cents
J worth of grub here. Wonder if it i:
f the same way everywhere?
i We have also noticed that rubber
; heels are getting to be almost a
common in this country as rubber
; necks.
5 Something has gone out of the life
1 of a <man when he no longer haB a
* long summer school vacation to looli
* fdrward to.
A grass widow is generally one who
is looking for "green fields and
pastures new."
One 6f the hardest things we hnve
to fathom in looking at some grrden?
j in and around Cheraw is to tell whi<
, is the vegetable and which is tin
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.
r
It's a pretty fast world, but we notice
that burglar-proof safe's are still
. being robbed while fire-proof build(
ings burn up every day.

t Remember, that even If you can't
do anything else you can at least heir
things a little bit by keeping out ol

drawing salaries as a result of the
peace conference comes pretty neai
explaining why they were stringinj
it out.
If any man in Cheraw feels unctyn
fortable during the next few week:
but fails to have the usual dark-browi
taste in his mouth he should be wise
eonugh to keep his feelings strictl;
to himself.
