With the continuous drop in the coat of living. prices soon will be stabilized on a def lnitely lower level than tnce early In the war period, according to the national industrial conference board. "After the signing: of the armistic-e," sys the board, "the cost of food and clothing dropped, and In the spring of 1919, despite th continued rise of rents and prices of fuel, light and sundries, the total cost of jiving was lower than in the preceding Novem ber. A new upward movement ther. occurred. From March, 1919, to July, 1920, there was a continuous increase In the cost of everything making up the cost of living. "Since the summer of 1920 clothing and1 food prices have fallen rapidly. ind in the autumn this downward movement was followed by a decline In prices of coal and sundries. Rents, however, continued to rise. "Thus the peak of the rise since 1914 in the cost of living seams def initely to have been reached and passed. Since July, 1920, there has been a marked and fairly constant de cline from month to month. From July, 1920. to November, 1920, the decrease was 5.8 per cent; from No vember to March it was 12.6 per cent from March to May it was 1.8 per cent, making a total decrease of 19 per cent between July. 1920, and May 1931. Since March. 1921, there has been a slowing up In the rate of de cline, but the tendency Is still down ward. "Meats reached their highest cost In the summer of 1920, when 10 cents' worth (pre-war value) of sirloin cost 19 cents and 10 cents' worth of rib roast cost 18 cents. One dollar's worth of potatoes In 1913 would re quire $6.06 in June, 1920. Since July, 1920, the average cost of all food com bined has decreased 30.6 per cent, but on April 15, 1920. was 52 per cent above the pre-war level. Clothing prices rose higher than any other major item in the family budget and reached their peak of 277 per cent in March, 1920. From then the descent was sharp and rapid, un til in the spring of 1921 average prices were only 68 per cent higher than in the summer of 1914. "Although the advance in the price of shoes has been more annoying and more obvious than that of many other items, as a matter of fact prices for moderate grades of shoes never went so high relatively as prices of a num ber of other Items in the clothing budget."

Friends of Official Assert Saw-mill Men Peeved Because of Refusal to Pay Big Lumber Bills. EUGENE. Or.. June- 5. (Special.) One of the warmest election fights ever held in Lane county is that over the proposed recall of Mahlon H. Harlow, county commissioner. L. N. Roney, Eugene contractor and bridge builder, is the opposing candidate on the ballot. The recall petitions were circulated throughout the county under the di rection of E. J. Horton. a lumberman of Goldson, who, it is said by the friends of Commissioner Harlow, has a grudge against the county court and, Mr. Harlow in particular for failure to allow alleged excessive bills against the county for lumber and because the state highway from Eugene to the coast was not located over the "high pass" route, on which is located Mr. Horton's sawmill. Mr. Horton has the support in his fight against Harlow of a large num ber of persons in the western part of the county, which, it is said, has not received justice at the hands of the county court in expenditures of road money. On the other hand figures suhrnitted by an investigating com mittee from the grange showed that this portion of the county has re ceived more than its share of the money in proportion to the assessed valuation of property. In the recall petitions it was stated that Commissioner Harlow is stub born and dominates the actions of the other members of the court. ro hint of incompetence or dishonesty is heard from his enemies and on tha account his friends say" that the spirit of the recall law is being violated. They assert the law was not intended as a vehicle w'th which to vent any one's spite against a public official.

American farmers, two and a half million strong, have or ganlzed almost overnight and are today in the halls of congress de manding relief from their ailments and the right to modernize their busi ness affairs. They are, perhaps, the most power ful force in the presence of the na tional legislature. So swiftly, silently and effectively have they combined their energies that few persons even here are aware of their existence and fewer still have even an approximate notion of their strength.' Their representatives are working tirelessly and with almost certain prospects of success for the passage of a cluster of bills, the effect of which upon American economic life would be measured in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Farmer Thinks He's Sick. As the farmer sees himself, he la today, in the economic sense, the sickest of sick In America. With his women folks, his children, his other dependents and his hired help he makes up some 40.000,000 of people. He ha something to sell, all that America eats and much that it wears, and bis products have dropped Into an abysmal market. His purchasing power has been cut more than half within the last year and his needs, like those of other folks, have In creased. Because of his numbers and trou bles he regards his condition as the basic ailment of American commerce and industry. Through his organiza tions he Is seeking legislation which will bring him back to economic health, he believes. capper, or Kansas, In the senate. stands out today as the most skill ful and energetic of the farmers' champions. His name is on almost the farmers want legal authority, plain, specific and direct before they proceed. The bill seems certain of passage. Under its provisions they expect to unite in big co-operative societies for the purpose of short cut ting to the consumer, slicing down the tremendous spread between prices paid lor rruit, produce, grain and other products in the fields and the prices paid for the same products in the markets of the country. Applea Hot on Ground. Apples rot on the ground of New York and other farms In the sum mer and fall because the prices the farmers obtain are so low as not to justify picking the fruit and send ing It to markets. At the same time those apples are rotting, other apples, no better are every one of the half dozen or more important measures which the farm ers are pressing upon congress. foremost of these measures is the Capper-Volstead bill to authorize the formation of co-operative organiza tions of farmers and permit them to do business In interstate commerce It seems strange that such authority should have to be sought at this late date on the behalf of the nation's bread makers when almost every other line of business is so organized. But selling retail at five and ten cents each In eastern cities. The situation, the farmer holds. Is an economic sin. Milk sells in New York today at say 12 cents a auart aenvered; the farmer gets 6 or there abouts hardly enough to Justify his Keeping the cow, feeding her, paying labor to attend her and sending milk to market. That situation the farmer regards as an economic wrong. The price of tnese commodities and all others the farmer raises should be In all fairness. he holds, cheaper to the consumer and t the same time should yield the farmer at least enough to make an mnest profit on his investment and toil. Joint Committee Urged. Co-operative organizations some how, sometime, can brinir about a betterment of these conditions, the farmer believes, and that is the reason why he wants such organizations au thorized by federal law and account- ble to the federal department of ag riculture. Another measure the United Farm ers of America are pressing through congress is the bill creating a Joint committee to Investigate the relativ ity of agricultural prices to other commodities. That bill, too. is going through. It has passed the senate. and when the Joint committee of ten gets on the job the farmer believes there'll be news popping that will make most folks either red-headed or wild-eyed about some of the prices they are paying today for things not raised on the farm.
