Lewis C. Russell, Petrs. At torney. A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK. The unaided intellect is incap able of understanding all of the immense problems which are pre sented at a single glance on the world horizon. Under such circum stances, if 1 had not believed in the providence of God I should have felt myself lost in indeci sions.—From President Wilson’s Response to the French Protestant Delegation, January 27, 1919. The woods are full of swindlers trying to get people to exchange their money or Liberty Bonds for all kinds of stock in oil wells, gold mines, fertilizer companies, and every imaginable sort of proposi- tion. It’s a mighty safe rule to in vest your money at home in some thing you know something about. Unless you have money to throw away, 8 per cent and safety is bet ter than a gamble on any far-away concern. The bigger the profits promised on a proposition the greater the prospects that you will lose all you put into it.— Exchange EXAMINATION NOTICE.

There were many who believed that the signing of the armistice would he immediately followed by falling prices. Seven months have passed, and there have been no material price changes; in fact, not a few commodities are now selling at prices higher than at any time during the war. Slowly the economic world is coming to see that high prices have not been due so much to a scarcity of materials as to a cheap ened currency. Enormous loans have been floated, inflation has followed in consequence, and mon ey has become plentiful and cheap. Cheap and plentiful money has simply meant high-priced commodities, because as the dollar has cheapened everything it buys has proportionately risen in price. A bushel of wheat, a pound of cot ton or wool or tobacco will buy about as much in commodities as in 1914; but it will exchange for two or three times as many dol lars, because dollars are cheap. Another phase of the price pro blem is seen in the wage scale. Wages for labor have risen great ly, but probably no more on ail average than have commodity prices. In other words, the labor er’s daily wage, on an average, will today buy no more commodi ties than it did five years ago, though in dollars it may buy two or three limes as much. Certainly, then, wages should not he mater ially lowered until commodity prices fall, and it is hard to see Imw commodity prices can fall, until we have lower prices for the labor that helps create them. It is also pretty generally conceded that wages for common labor were in many eases too low before the war, notable examples of this be ing seen in the cotton producers and sawmill workers of the South. In the ease of the cotton grower, his wife and children, wages, be cause of low-priced cotton, were generally pitifully inadequate; and since a pound of cotton today will buy little if any more than hi pre-w ar times, wages of cotton producers are still relatively low. With these facts in mind, we do not look for materially lower prices in the near future. It will be years before the enormous debts of the world are paid; this uill mean that currency deflation Mill proceed very slowly, and this in turn Mill mean that prices Mill fall very slowly. The farmer or other person who does not buy what be needs, expecting material ly lower prices in the near future, is likely to he disappointed.—The Progressive Farmer. GAINESVILLE MIDLAND RAILROAD.
