Declining Price Risks
The federal trade commission announces that ft 1 A A Al m A J A A

can Business men, wiin a new to getting a composite view of various plans now being tried to stabilize business." says the Indianapolis News.
"The extremely uncertain fluctuations of prices have naturally forced business men to abandon the customs of normal times, and resort to something which allows for the possibility of heavy losses. The trend of all such plans is toward elimination of the gambling feature of post-war business activities. "The effect of wide deviations from the norinal prices of raw material is felt with increasing .force all the way to the consume. The manufacturer must protect himself against loss due to a sudden increase in the price of his raw material and labor. He can not be expected to run much risk, especially in view of the alarming .shortage of all manufactured commodities. The wholesaler or 'jobber who is forced to pay the manufacturers' risk cost naturally protects his own business, thus adding another risk cost. The alternative is some such plan as the federal trade commission hopes to establish by a review of its use by business men who have proved its worth in certain lines. N "The government's belief that a guaranty against loss by reason of declining prices will
tend to lower prices is well sustained by common knowledge of the part which fright plays in a nervous market. With that element removed, production on the scale demanded by the needs of the country, will be expedited, and there will be less reluctance to recognize the necessity for
a downward revision of prices. The snag in this process is wages, which will only come down with lower levels in commodities. Even with the wage factor unchanged, however, there is a distinct field for a stabilizing plan which will eliminate the gambling feature in many lines of business which in normal times avoid any suspicion of speculation." The Wise Selection of Gifts Sufficient time has elapsed since Christmas to allow a worth-while study of judgment in holiday gifts to the children. In every home, certain articles have either been broken or cast into the oblivion of dark corners, while other gifts are cherished, used hourly, and taken to bed at night by their juvenile possessors. All normal people like to help make Christmas a supremely happy occasion for the little folks, and they also like to select gifts which are best calculated to give lasting pleasure and benefit. In the rush of the last few weeks of shopping, all of us are apt to stray into doubtful ventures in selection, and in our desperation, buy things that are quite likely to fail of the mark. Now is the time for laboratory tests, and note-taking for reference eleven months hence. Does little Jack toss his picture books aside, and give his time to blocks and erector toys? Does Mary prefer toy tea sets, and dolls, and tin kitchens to the score of varieties of other things that are offered her? Then remember about it. Take a look around the home, note the gifts which didn't fit, and then be guided in your plans for next Christmas. You will thus be able to give more pleasure, and avoiding wasting money on the wrong things.
THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK A NEW-YEAR SUQQESTIQN FOR A BOY A boy of eighteen wrote m a letter the other day that made me very happy. He said that the simple, every-day suggestions were the things that helped him most, and to keep writing them. Here is a very old one but it will never be too old to use Always do your best. Never In my lifetime have I come In contact with so many people who are trying to get by and on by doing only as little as they have to. So that recently when I engaged an office boy in my place and asked him what salary he expected, I was almost taken off my feet when he said: "I leave that to you I want the Job!" I have been watching that boy and I note that he always seems to be doing his best Always do your best. , It sounds trite, I know. But there isn't a sounder rule of work or of service. You will never regret the toil of your hands or of your head, if you always do your best. And each new task will grow more Interesting and fascinating. Always do your best. Some other chap may get more money than you do, but unless he always does his best, you will pass him in the race. I love the work of the ancients for they worked for the pure fun and pride of producing lasting and beautiful things. As you grow in years, you will get more fully the greatness behind what they had in mind when they worked. . Always do your best. Never waver. Keep a clean mind and heart. Think of the Interests of other people and always keep doing your BEST!

Dinner Stories
Topic, Sunday, January -4 "I believe In God." John 14: 1, 8-10; Mark 9: 17-24, 11: 22. Consecration meeting. In these times we cannot very well be neutral. Either we believe in God or we do not. During the war men's loyalty was often challenged. "Are you for us or against us?" And men were required to give answer definite and conclusive. It should be so with us. You are supposed to be a Christian. Suppose you were to be stopped suddenly on the street, and asked by Bonieone who had a right to ask of you; "Do you beUeve in God?" How vvouldyou answer? If In the affirmative, would it be emphatic and carry conviction? It ia not enough to believe in God. These are days when men want reasons, (not excuses). And when we state our belief in God, be nbla to give our reason's for that belief. Believe in God. Believo In tho commonplace things. Hate Pomp and Show. Don't envy those who have more of this world's goods than you have. Happiness is not bought, it is r state of mind. Don't disappoint your maker. If you do not do the work He marked out for you that work will never be done, for each man has his task. Make God glad. Points from pens of prophets "Sir,

"Mother," said George, as he presented his office chum, who had come to spend Saturday afternoon with him, "this Is my friend, Mr. Specknoodle." Now it happened that the lady who Is the heroine of this veracious history was rather deaf. "I'm Borry," she said, with her hand to her ear, "but I didn't quite catch the name." "My friend, Mr. Specknoodle!" shouted George. "I'm sorry." said his mother, "but I can't hear it distinctly." "Specknoodle!" George fairly bellowed. "I'm afraid it's no vise." said the old lady, as she sadly shook her head. "It sounds Just like Specknoodle to me." Then George said something else, and her hardness of hearing came in useful. "Germany's camouflage republicanism," said Rear Admiral Taylor, "reminds me of a beggar. "This beggar had been blind, but one day he hustled up to a patron, looked him in the eye and demanded alms. " 'Why.' said the patron, "have you recovered your sight?' "The beggar nodded. " You see,' he exclaimed, 'my dog died, and, not having time to train another, I had to become deaf and dumb.' "

George Tappan. living near Greenwood, has 120 fall pigs, that promise to bring the highest prices when they are old enough for the market. In order to keep his pigs contented, Tappan has installed a coal heating stove in the hog house. The pigs caro little about the chilly winter air, but are as lively as rats inside their improvised "parlor."

m Made Special Trip to Muncie To Tell About What the Great Medicine Did For Himself and Get More For A Neighbor. Could Not Sleep For That Itching, Terrifying Eczema; Two Bottles of Dreco Removed Every Trace of It. Mr. James Ratcliff, n prosperous farmer near Redkey. Grant Co., Ind., twenty miles from Muncie, gives the following signed statement for the benefit of the public. "I made a special trip to Muncie today to tell about what this new medicine Dreco did for me and to get some for a neighbor of mine. This Dreco has almost saved my life. For years I've suffered from eczema. I'd itch and scratch all night long; sometimes I'd get clean out of bed and sit in a chair, for there was no rest for me. "My stomach was a:so out of order, and my food did me no good but to bloat me up with sour gas. I was very bilious and my entire system seemed run down. "I've taken two bottles of Dreco, and I want to say that even the red spots on my body where the eczema used to be are gone. I sleep all night long in peace; no more itching, scratching; no more sitting up in chairs, as before. My stomach digests my food without causing gas to form; my liver has been cleaned off; in fact, I'm in fjne shape again and I give all the credit to Dreco, tho great root and herb remedy." The blood has to be cleared of poisons to get rid of eczema. N better medicine for this can be obtained than Dreco, which is made of the juices of roots, herbs, barks and leaves, which act on the vital organs and tone them up. Mr. Powers, the well known Dreco expert, has headquarters at Thistlethwaite's drug store, to meet the local public and explain the merits of this great remedy. See him today. Adv.
