GETTING BUSINESS. How- to pet prices down where people can and will buy is the big problem now. Trying to figure it out in turning hair gray on heads of manufacturer.-!, salesmen, retailers and economists. Here's how ths problem was solved by the owner of a coal mine in Ohio: This mine ha a capacity of G00 tons a day meaning', on full-time, It produces that much. Sales fell to 7 5 tons a day. To Ret more orders, tho mine owner hid to shade prices. It kei t him awake nights. Looking over his records, the mine owner found that the labor cost and overhead charpros in a ten of coal varied with tho number of tons mined daily. L.ike this: Output I'ibor Overhead Daily ot-t Charges 75 tons $2.00 a ton $.S0 a ton 100-ton.s $1.65 a ton $.45 a ton 120 tons $1.50 a ton $.30 a ton 200 tons $1.30 aton $.22aton .100 ton $1.25 a ton $.15 aton Overhead charges (salaries, rent, lighting, etc.) remain practically unchanged, whether the mine produces -one ton or 300 tons daily. So. the more the production, the less the portion of overhead that has to be charged to each ton. Labor costs eimilarly vary, because of employes who have to be on tho job whether coal diggers number 10 or 50. The mine owner decided: "Instead of basins my price on $2 a ton labor charges when output Is 75 tons a day, I'm going- to base it on a labor-charge of $1.23 a ton. "That will enable me to cut my price 75 cents a ton, which should be sufficient Inducement to fret me orders for 300 tons of coal a day, which would justify my lower price." The result is that this coal mine now is selling 300 tons of coal dally, instead of 75 tons. That gives 225 tons a day better business, with customary profit margin on each ton. "Like finding- money in the street!" Pays the mine owner. "And yet, it's the principle of the 5-and-10 cent stores 'big turnover or volume of business, at small profit on each sale, the whole adding up into a good profit.' Ja this a general solution?'

DECADENT OR DIFFERENT? If you believe the report of .scenes in a great New York hotel as the old year passed and the new year came in. the women in the great dining room went from table to table, kissing- the men with a somewhat Indiscriminate abandon. These were not outcast or ostracized women. Their husbands were with them, participating- in the revels. They came from homes of wealth, for the affair was one in which only those of more than ordinary means could afford to visit. Is the present day decadent or simply different? There was a time, not so very lonir ago, when klsse were criminal, even in the cloistered privacy of the home. In the days of Charles II, the penalty for kissing was a public whipping of both man and woman, and in one of the reported cases of that early day. a man named Harding received 4 0 lashes for kissing a lady whom he had invited to a venison supper. Chivalry of the day limited the punishment of the lady who was kissed to CO etrokof. Even a scanty 20 years ago Miss Emma Marshall paid a fine of $10 in a New Jersey court because she had permitted her sweetheart to kiss her in the dimly lighted hallway of her home, much to the scandalous indignation of the women of the neighborhood. The kiss has been a hlsiory maker in every age, from the time that Antony FuccunVbed to the cLresses of cleopatra to the present day of revelry. They have been the price of death, and a summons to high feats of courage. They have toppled thrones and decimated villages for it was a kis.s of a sailor, from a Ipague ridden phip. that wiped out the villege of Candalo in Florida in an early day. It wa.s the kiss of a duchess in 1743 that brought enlistments for her son's regiment and those who kissed and rrtirched away were shortly killed. Times and customs change and with them a different viewpoint on many of the acts of life. Instead of a criminal act, to be punished by the lash, the kiss has now become the common salute of the exuberant. Reformers may lament the changing viewpoint. Age will rail against innovations. Yesterday may condemn the day which is here, just as today will condemn the action of tomorrow. Perhaps the answer is that the age is neither decadent nor different,, but simply human and that there are kLs-se? and kis. s. and the search of youth ever the dream of Iord I'yron when he wrote: Away with your fictions of flimsy romance Those tissues of falsehood which folly has wove! Give me the mild learn of the soul-breathing glance Or the rapture that dwells on the first kiss of k-ve.

"HIN; OFT THE. OM RING in Tin: new." Editor News-Times: Tho close of the old year and the opening of the new, doubtless brings to your inin.i as to mine, tho question of constructive, cooperative and helpful -orvice. "What kind of a citizen was I during the past year and what kind of a citizen am I going to be this year? Iid I ever by word, act or deed help the old administration? Am 1 poing to do all in my power to help the new administration. .South P.end starts off with its new administration that is republican n politics and Mi.hawaka starts off with one that is democratic. From a political point of view we consider it nn even break and make up our minds that we are going to start the new year right by eliminating politics and as a citizen of the county, cooperate and help both administrations. If you agree with me In this.. the perhaps you will agree that the first important thing for us to do is to eliminate our own personal s liishness and think of others. It's true that the other fellow may not give us credit for the effort but that does not do him any good and if you are square with your conscience and ari doing all you can to help, you win.

The administration needs us, it seeks the good will and the cooperation of every citizen and if we ne?p tho administration we help ourselves If it fuceetds, we get the benefit of it and if it fails, we lose. The burden of responsibility rests upon every citizen of the county and not upon the administrative heads alone. 1322 is g-olng to be the best year in life to you and to me. What we get out of it will largely depend upon what we put into it. It's start right and stay right. Eliminate personal selfishness, square up our conscience with a firm desire to con. tribute constructive, cooperative and helpful service each day by a kind word, of sympathy and hope anj good-will, or perhaps wo '-ay b? more fortunate to contribute some helpful constructive deed that will lighten the burden and open the way for better service. The old year was full of opportunities, tiie new year will have even greater if we look for them, we can lind them daily and if we first learn the value ami the happinesv that comes to us. with each opportunity to help others, we will never fail to mbrace each opportunity and hunt them -up-1-Start with the new administration and join with me in the expression of good-will.

Yet what would the home be like If you Had all of its endless tasks to do? Would it be home if she were not there. Erave and gentle and fond and true? Could you so fragrant a meal prepare? Could you the numberless duties do? What were the home that you love so much. Lacking her presence and gracious touch ? She is the spirit of all that's fair.
