He was well pas', three scov" years
and ten, and when, a lew months after
burying his second wife, he to k unto
himself a third only about half his
own i.ce, it created a furore in the
iiinall Southern town in which he re
sided, lieing a pillar in his church,
a meeting was called to look into the
matter.
"Urother Ilankston," began one of
tat? elders, rfter a tactful upproaeh
of the subject by another member,
"don't you think you were in rather
much of a hurry in this last matri
monial venture?"
The old man arose and jjave the
gathering a sweeping look. "Hrethren,
most assuredly 1 was in a hurry. You
mus t remember 1 am seventy-odd
ycai j old. and I have j be in a hurry
wi.h anything I want to do now."

A comprehensive investigation shows ,
that the total cost of living for the 1
country as a whole has fallen 20.03,7 1
s'nee the peak in July, 1 92J, but in.
November, 1921 was C3rJ higher than
in July, 1914. Cost of shelter and;
fuel and light is shown to have in-j
rreased; food, clothing and sundries
decreased, since the peak.
