WEEKLY COURIER EN ED. DOANE, Publlohor JAOPER .... INDIANA Most of tis accept the weather with reservations.

Tho drop In rs Mnds the consumer writing with his basket. The Sick Man will evidently have to take up his lel and walk. There will be hish prices as long as customers Insist on paying them. Doctors have raised their prices, thus still further Increasing the vnlue of health. Turkey Ir reported stripped to Its hare hones. Down to Its drumsticks. as It were. "Dutch ti? Keep Ex-Kaiser In 200Acre Cage." nays a headline. Some cheese box! Not a few housekeepers need to learn that a cow Is not all sirloin and porterhouse. Some Frenchman wants to elevate the movies to the plane of the stage. What stage? The lengthening of the days brings to mind the daylight we soon may be able to save. Little Is known about the youth of Croesus, hut we suppose he was a bond messenger. The high cost of summer clothes meuns folks are going to spend more time in swimming. That Spanish Olympic games team should win some of the sprint event. If memory Is not at fault. After all, it Is a little funny that n war which has made everybody rich should have made all the nations poor. Meatless days In Paris again! Hut what's a meatless day or two now and then as long as the eggs and wine hold out? Announcements that prices are declining and the actual prices Illustrate the difference between a theory and a condition. A taxi can do very well on a little alcohol In the radiator, but corn whisky In the driver is too much for the steering goar. There is no cure for the man who just takes It for granted that there Is not a train coming vhen he reaches ri grade crossing. The prince of Monaco Is reported as having discovered a new variety of fish; maybe an American munitions millionaire sucker. That soldier who asks a divorce from the woman he married in France has just heard, maybe, that he went over there to fight for liberty. A pessimist Is a man who think that just because It Is announced that the government is to investigate high prices, something is not going to happen. After reading what happened to that aviator who mane an altitude of o(5,u20 feet we hate to think what Is going to happen to the man who Is rdiot to Mars. The Russian general Yudei?ltch. Is reported to have set out for Paris with Iiis private fortune of 100,000,000 Esthonian marks. If he decides to visit this country he may have about enough for a bed and breakfast. Unless the prune can do something to prove' that it has alcoholic potentialities. It must expect to be snubbed by the now proud and haughty raisin. A now process keeps food Indefinitely, says a report. Imagine the prices we'd have to pay if tho profiteers could hold It out as long as they pleased. Now It Is said that farm hands are forming unions. The backyard garden has been a fad. hut It may soon become a necessity If the person of average Income is still to eat." It Is possible that Clemeneeau and Foch will come to America next summer on a sight-seeing tour. The motto. ".See America first." may yet have some standing among European tourists. A Japanese army captain says thrift r.nd high prices are the two outstanding show points in his country at present, modestly hinting that living costs in Nippon make us look like bush leaguers. The consumer is beginning to suspect that most of the conventions calhtl by producers ostensibly to bring prices down In reality plot behind closed doors to keep them up. The government will urge consumers to buy articles of cheaper quality. P.ut that's what the consumers have been doing all the time. Isn't It? Iro ri:un and pretzels is the new rcr.iMnntimi. Save the pretzel. One of the I t tilings to say for it might be "it's In the soup." Try It there.
