For many weeks we have been studying the high cost of itving. We have been delving into the history of the fig ures of that era when exes were 20 fents a doen, butter 30 cents @ pound and flour $6 a barrel.

JAPS WANT U. S. OUT OF SIBERIA ‘Ruthless Aggrandizement Is |Halted by Americans There | SAN FRANCISCO, Oct American soldiers In Siberia are tiv ing well in a climate very #imilar to that of your Northern states, and are better equipped than any other troops I have ever seen.” In these words Charles FE for two years manager in Viadi of the now abolished Amer fean Committee on Public Informa on and former lieutenant in the Russian army, disparaged the de Pressing stories brought home by American soldiers from Siberia on ry returning transport “But.” he continued, upon his re cent arrival here, “the Japanese are encouraging diesatiafaction in the American ranks because they want} Krants vostok Chas. Edw. Avant] to see the United States withdraw from Siberia and leave it to them. “The Americans irk certain Jap anese interests in Siberia for the sim. ple reason that they will not counte- hance their methods of "house clean ing’ in anticipation of an influx of their countrymen. Japan in afraid of America and dares not apply her usual methods while American troops are quarted in Siberia.” Krantz pointg’ out that the/ Americans were supplied with food clothes and practically every creature comfort by the quartermaster corps, and were not for anything, save milk a vegetables, which are there abundance. “They have more money than the average citizen, best quarters in all Russia to spend and the aggrandizement on they are fighting Bolshevism! Three jentire Russian, villages have been destroyed by the Japanese with fire and sword, and with that for an ex- cuse!” | | LONDON, Oct.

At Cherry's you may gratify your desire for the very finest and most fashionable of apparel, no matter how little ready cash you may have at the time A few dollars at time of selection secures the garments, and the pur- chase may be completed tn small monthly ‘payments alto Style Shop, 207 )Bldg., over Pig'n Whistle.

Today --SAYS ROGER | We have found that many facturers are misrepresenting their) goods, selling shoddy © wool and paper for leather, We have fqund that clerks, street car condgetors } and other employes handling money are becoming literally highway rob | bers and that stealing is becoming almost @ fad. Make False Promises We have found political candi-| | dates willing to promise anything to get elected, while government and | city officials are willing to say that | black tm white to hold their jobs. | Senators and Congrésamen no) longer ask whether « thing ts right © wrong, but whether it is proposed by a Republican or a Democrat. We | have found labor notoriously bad | without any more desire to render | service for the wages received than have the employers to help out their | customers. All Want to Slack The attitude of both employers and wage we ore seems to be to do an little as pomible and get as much as possible, The idea of rendering useful day's work for a useful day's pay or of giving @ useful day's pay for a useful day's work seems to be lost sight of. ae no longer k themselves whether” thing ts jrigpt or wrong, but are content to/ ask themselves whether or not] something will satisfy their desires If & person wants a thing that! seems to be a sufficient reason that} they should have it. Of course all | this is very grrong and harmful. ‘These are a few of the things whieh we have found.

WOMAN IS DROWNED TRYING TO SAVE PURSE) ‘LONDON, Oct, 25,—Attempting to recover a bag which had slipped from her hand as she was crossing the gang plank to board a steamer bound for Ireland, Mrs. R. Newton fell between Hollywood pier and the vessel and was drowned before the would-be rescuers could take her from the water, NOW PLAYING Ashamed to Look Herself in the Face! It was night! The house fairly reeked of ancestors. The youthful little “widow,” in her nightie, was prowling among the heirlooms. She was an impostor. She was also in love.
