18 COST OF LI VINO DECREASING?
According to recent statistics living
costs in the United States are drop
ping; it Is claimed that they have decreased
some four or Ave per cent,
hut. frankly, to the citizen it does no
tbiui 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
hold 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 always
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
ir 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

dinary 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 h^r.
One war gardener declares that th<
worms are eating his cabbage, beetles
are riddling his cucumbers and
moles are undermining his beans?

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
U ~ !!..?? a. _ a *-1
nuitu iic uvea iu uuve iiih name upon
the subscription list of his home-town 1
paper. But yesteiday we suggested 1
it to one gentleman and he replied: <
"It's getting "round to where it's too *
infernal hot to read." 1
There is a tnian whose conversation, '
then, is only interesting in cool weather.
For it is only when a man
reads that he can talk in an Interest. '
ing way. And there is also a man
who fails to understand that the old '
world is still whirling along at a rapid
rate in hot weather the save as
in the cooler months, au>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 him 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
Sunday school just because the house
of worship is not as comfortable in
summer as it is in winter. And
wouldn't it be b?d 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 on a par with the old
fossil who once told us that "he took
more papers than he could read."
The wail 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

And a man who uses his mouth too
.much.
Villa was reported to hove lost a
leg three years ago but nobody has
been able bo far to gfet 'near enough to
him to corroborate the report.

THE WIRES LEAD HOME.
By August 1 all wires, telephone
nd telegraph, will have returned to
heir owners, and the doxology will
e sung by 100,000,000 people.
The attempt of Government control
public utilities has been a disnia'
allure. Absolutely correct in theory,
t has fallen down completely in prac
ice, and very naturally men are using
the question "why?" The answer
s plain. Wh are not yet ready for
his step. As a people, we have no*
ret arrived at that point where ou
representatives are efficient or honest
enough ho handle the public proper
ty. As a war-tUne measure, possibly
the taking over of the wires and other
public utilities was justified, but never
was a case more conclusively proven
than this one of the utter inabilit
of the Government to run p:i\_'
enterprises.
Absolute failure has hern the result
Welcome "home, oh wires. Now lets
have the railroads as soon as possible
A dollar In Cheraw is worth 100
cents, the same as everywhere else,
but it will only buy about thirty centsworth
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 <man 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 6f the hardest things we have
to fathom in looking at some g miens
in and around Cheraw is to tell whl?
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.
Remetmber, 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 tact that there were 1.4Q0 wen
drawing salaries 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 strict1>
to himself.
