PRICES .WD PROSPERITY "Keep the Wheels Moving" is (loo \dvice of Shoe Men (Prom the Root and Shoe Recon Boston, Mass.) The debt of the United States i 1914 was $1,000,000,000. It is no' $35,000,000,000. The interest on our present debt i $1,000,000,000, or more than the cour try's total debt before the war. It cost $1,000,000,000 to run th government before the war. Now i costs $5,000,000,000. This is the price of the war and i must be paid bv taxation, which mus be shared by all. Labor and wages are twice or mor kigher than before the war. Goods which we all use cost mor to us because of high wages, taxa tion and war inflation of values. Inflation has been ana stm is dc ing "squeezed out". This has reduce the cost of merchandise. We stil have high standards of labor cost and taxation. No one must expect that food, mer ehandise, rents, etc., will go back t 1914 prices, and wages, salaries, in oomes remain where they are. Prices this winter are down to be< rock, as they are based on lowe material costs and inflation has bee; taken out. Whether these lower prices hol< for long or not depends?on every body. You, I us and we. If people hold back in buyinj thinking prices will go lower, price -i - J will nse instead. Making a lot of goods is the onl; ray for them to be cheap. If workers are not employed the; "> have no money to spend. If workers a > not employed good becomes scarce and prices rise. Our real problem is that of em ployment for everybody. Employment means money kep circulating all over the country. I mil G?T?

TUNE, Jc I means more goods at lower prices. i j Every one 01 us must do our share in keeping the country going. | Hold hard to your job. Work bother and harder. We must all spend our money wisely. We must replace J. extravagence with thrift. Your business and your income will shrink if we allow unemployment to become general. Example: Thirty-five thousand men out of work in Detroit don't mean is cheaper automobiles because they are not producing automobi'cs. It does mean 35,000 families without money . to spend for clothing, shot's, fuel, food and rent. A department store recently "laid ^ off" 1,000 employes. That doson't help business, or reduce prices, but iKnnt cop nnn Iasr .1 week in money to spend. The startirg of a vicious circle. Cotton and wollen mills idle all summer and fall means thousands cut of work with no money to spend. And (j hundreds of thousands of yards less II of cloth that would have been cheaper. Keep up the payroll. Keep the wheels moving. Let us create and produce and lower prices normally through industry, thrift and hard work. Keep money circulating. j Help keep up the payroll.

Will Run Foul of Easter The unusually early Eeaster in 1921 seems to be one of the tilings which the retailers who are holding hack in placing spring orders rave not taken into account. In the case of shoes retailers, for instance, it appears that not a great deal is to be done until after the annual meeting of the rotaileis in Milwaukee about the middle of January. If orders are r.ot placed before that time, it was said yesterday," i* will be impossible for the goods to be delivered in full time for the retailers to'do their regular Easter business. Stocks of leather and ether materials in the hands of the manufacturers are said to be light and thev are doing very litt'e buying, if any. "on faith." The consequence is that it will take them about thirty days to assemble their raw materials and at least another thirty days to "^t " shoes out. This, dating from January 15, would allow just eleven days in which to get the goods to the retailer and the latter to sell them, as Easter comes on March 27.?-New York Times. o GREENVILLE GETS CONVENTION South Carolina Automotive Trades Association Elects New Officers Columbia, Dec. 10.?The 1921 convention of the South Carolina Automotive Association fvill be held in Greenville, decision to the effect being reached by the convention in Columbia today.
