IT COSTS MORE TO LIVE.
Prices Higher fa 19M Tfan fa 1909.
' Washington, July 10.—The
, high cost of living is no myth.
An Investigation by the bureau of
labor of the prices of 257 commod
ities during . 1910, shows the
wholesale prices in that year were
| 4 per cent, higher than in 1909,
and 1.6 per cent, above the aver
' age of 1907, which was the year
of highest prices since 1890. In
• view of the Canadian reciprocity
discussion an interesting item in
the bureau report shows that the
, wholesale price of farm products
. was 7.5 per cent, higher in 1910
than in 1909.
i Wholesale prices in 1910 were
( 19.1 per cent, higherthan in 1900;
46.7 per cent, higher than 1897,
which was the year of lowest
prices between 1890 and 1910;
16.6 per cent, higher than 1890
and 31.6 per cent, higher than the
• average high prices between 1890
and 1899.
The highest prices in this de
cade were reached in October,
» 1907, when a general decline be
gan which continued until Aug
ust, IMB. A rise then set in and
there wen monthly increases
without a break up to March,
1910, when wholesale prices
' reached the highest point in 20
yean. They were then 21.1 per
cent, higher than the average of
' 1900, 49.2 per cent, 'higher than
the yearly average of 1897, aud
33.8 per cent, higher than the
average price of ten yean between
1890 and 1899.
Then followed a slight decline,
and from June to December, 1910,
prices remained nearly level and
at the close of the calendar year
. 1910, they were still 30 per cent."
( higher than the ten year average
I between 1890 and 1900, and 45.4
t per cent, higher than the record
> set by the low price year of 1897.

-1 Real Manhood and True Worth Be
ing Recognized.
f ,
. MarahYlllc Home.
One of tho most encouraging '
r signs of the (lay is that real man-
j hood and true worth is coiniug to
th« front—that the world is learn- ;
ing to trust and honor a man for
what he is, rather than for what
denominational creed he happens
to belong to or what achooi of
partisan politics he associates i
himself with. Character aud
ability are the only true testa of
j any person. The others are non- i
p essentials. It is a dangerous 1
r thing to giva a man or woman a
9 position of trnst simply because
1 he or she holds certain political
views or is identified with a par
ticular religious denomination.
Yet there are people so narrow
aud little and "swunk up" that
they are willing to sacrifico those
traits of character aud marks of
ability.that would fit a' person for
a big responsibility for tho sake
of denominationaiism or political
® references. Such an one is a
menace to a town or community
o and isn't fit to have anything to
0 do with electing or employing a
8 person to fill a public ofilce or po- .
1 sition. Don't understand us to
y be arguing against church work. ,
We believe in that good and |
strong, bnt it is the little ideas |
that "we are the whole thing"—
■- that Phariseeical feeling—that we
p are arguiug against, and this
, writer thinks mighty little of it,
too. 1

Do Something for Your Town.
Maxton Scottish Chief.
One man cannot make a town.
The newspaper cannot do it. But
one man on a newspaper with the
help of the wide-awake mou of the
place all pulling together, can
make a wide difference in the
place. Eveiy man who succeeds
iu a town is a help to it. The
more money he makes, if he
spends it, the better for the com
munity. Tho larger business he
builds up, the more he advertises,
and hence the more attention he
brings to the town. A man can
not build up an honorable busi
ness in the town without helping
the country. The interest of one
Is the Interest of all.
No town will become a busi
ness center so long as its business
men rely upon a few merchants
to make the effort to bring trade
to the town. Too often the men
in a few lines of trade an about
the only ones that reach out for
oustom. Other merchAttta will
wait until these men have in
duced the people to come to town
and conteut themselves with trade
that naturally drifts to their
place.
A public spirited man should
ask himself if ho is doing his part
in attracting people to town to
trade.
