You, like everyone else in the country, are wondering: FIRST—When business gets going good again how will times compare with the gr boom of 19197 ECOND—What standard of living lies in store for the average American? On every hand you hear people saying, “I guess we can’t expect times ever to get as good a Developments in the iron and steel industry suggest that this may be view. For instance: ain as they were during the silkshirt days of the war boom.” the wrong During March the country produced 2,034,794 tons of pig iron, or roughly four-fifths as much as in March, 1913, which was a typical month of normal “good times.” Before the war it was customary for pig iron output to increase 1,000,000 tons a year to take care of the normal growth of the country’s needs. On this basis, if the climb had gentinued normally and there badn't been a war, pig iron pro @uction in March, 1922, would have been 3,225,000 tons, which ‘compares with 3,090,243 tons pro ‘duced in March, 1919, during the In other words, pig iron out ‘put during the war boom was' ne Jarger than the normal, nateral growth. Pig iron production, by the way, is one of the two barom- eters of general business. The other is wheat. How about the future standard ‘of living? Nearly everyone has Jearned from bitter experience that pricgs and dollars have very Tittle to do with it, The real ‘Standard of living is the amount ef commodities you are able to buy with your moncy. Furthermore, America can buy only propertion to what it Ef the farmers raise 106,000,000 Dushels of wheat a year, there's ‘only ome bushel for cach of us. “Bat we have three bushels apiece Af they raise 318,000,000 bushels. Similarly, if the men who make produce 106,000,000 cars « there's a car for cach of us. Gress 1,960,000 cars are produced im @ year there's only a car for ach 100 persons. The fature standard of living “will depend largely on how much we Americans produce—hbow hard we work. To pay the interest on our na- thonal debt would take yearty only enethirtysecond of the American people's total income in 1913. The “burden, unless pyramided by prof. Hteers, is not big enough to sub- tract materiafly from the future standard living. The miner has no knowledge to- day whether or not he will work tomorrow. He must wait the dlow- fing of the whiatle es @ signal for “work.” There have been numer, ous occasions when the whistle Blew “work” im the evening and the morn- fing, that, when the miner had got- ten up at 4 o'clock in the morning and prepared himself and his bw et for work, and walked a distance of from one to siz miles to the mine, he discovered that the rail- yoad company had failed to furnish empty cars, hence he was required to return home. This is not an wn- meual occurrence. This has been i known to’ occur as often as four and five times per week, and month after month cach year, when the mine was presumed to be working. —Representative Ricketts (R.), mgad lit It ts not eed: for man to be alone. —Genesis 4:18 Would we codify the laws that Bhould reign in households, and whose daily transgression annoys and mortifics us, and degrades our Household Wife, we must learn to @dorn every day with sacrifices Good manners are made up of petty sacrifices. cqurage love are made up of the same Jewels.

What shall we do presidents? with our ox The question is, generally speak ing, academi® since the expres idents have answervd the ques tien for themselves. Particular ly has this been the case with Woodrow Wilson. He has elected retirement from public affairs and from the public view—at least until he shall have repaired the shattered health which bis payment for his service to his country and his countrymen. It would seem to be a decision with which po person could quar. rel It has been a wholehearted decision, as proved by the patient determination with whieh be has refrained from participation in national and world events against constant entreaties aod maneuvers designed to draw him in. And since It is a course that should command only sympathy and admiration, is it not due him that he be sflowed, in peace, to pursue it?

The tone and temper of most of the present scribbling sbout this latest ineiflent reminds one, so far as its authors are com cerned, of the golice nm that “s murderer revisits the scone of his crime.” We cannot, of course, all be hand- some, And it's hard for us all to be good ; We ere sure now and then to be lonesome And we don't always do as we should.
