KINNEY & TRUAX GROCERY Quality First THE NEW PRICE LEVEL Many people who keep hoping that prices will drop to somewhere near their pre-war level base this hope on the fact that our currency system t present is highly inflated. This Inflation is bound to stop soon, they argue. Then, with lees money and credit available, the price of nearly everything will go down accordingly. Now, our currency Is certainly In flated, admits 'Prof. Irving Fisher of Tale. But he does not agree that there is going to be any let-up. The government tried to force a deflation after the Civil war. he recalls, by re ducing the quantity of greenbacks in circulation; depression ensued im mediately, and congress had to for bid any further reduction. "Against any considerable reduc tion in bank credit," he says, "we shall find the whole business com munity in arms." And without such reduction there can be no general tall In' prices. There is a world-wide cause, too, operating to maintain and even to continue swelling the general volume of credit. Deposit banking, he points out, has increased greatly-durlng the war, in response to government de mands in all the warring countries, and it will increase vastly hereafter. Money goes out of circulation and out of unprofitable hiding places in to bank vaults, and there becomes a 'basis for new circulating credits. Even the Chinese and the people of India are learning. This' new habit rwill lead to a great currency expan sion. "It is as if a new source of gold supply had been discovered.". Nobody then need talk hopefully of the prices of 1913 and 1914. it is futile to try to bring them back, asserts Mr. Fisher. Buyers have been trying it, with insiginiflcant re sults. There is a new high price level, maintains this expert, and it will prove to be stubborn reality. The clever business man, he says, is not the one who waits to buy raw ma terials or manufactured articles he needs, but the one who accepts the The professors testimony gives strong support to the "buy now movement whih is being launched by some of the enthusiasts over the country, yet it will be hard to con vince the majority of the American public that present inflated prices are not going to come down; and In their tumble they will bring down the wage scale. Actual values are bound to find their level. The lark of landing places need not continue a hindrance to the develop ment of peace-time flying here. In Massachusetts & group of veteran aviators back from the war recently appeared before the legislative com mittee on roads and bridges and urg ed the passage of a law providing for the creation of Just such needed sta tions. They pointed out the fact that when all the men are back there will be several hundred airplane pilots in the state, a considerable number of whom will no doubt be interested in the further develop ment of aviation. In Washington a move has already been made in this direction. The Northwest Aircraft Company has leased a gold links near Spokane. The company intends to maintain a landing place there for airplanes, with free parking privileges for pas senger, mall or express planes. Perhaps the most businesslike ef fort to promote commercial aviation is that made by the United Aircraft Engineering Company which has al ready purchased 400 planes from the Canadian government This com pany also owns aviation fields, re pair depots and general equipment sufficient for the operation of pas senger and freight line between To ronto and Hamilton, Ont. pictures are or can be shown, shall show them.

Americans and British at tacked from the west side the vil lage of Bolshoia Ozera Sunday, while the. Russians, Americans and British attacked from the east, but they were pnable to advance beyond the line of enemy machine guns. They fought waist deep in the soft snow In the forests. The Bolshevlkl are intrenching and reinforcing their positions. The weather Is extremely cold. 'PERSONAL LIBERTY" HIT BY PARK SUPERINTENDENT PEACE AVIATION ASSURED The chief thing which blocks prl vate and commercial iise of the air plane in this country seems to be the lack of suitable landing places Statesmen abroad are traveling, to and from Important meetings through the air, and the practice seems so commonplace that It creates scarcely any comment. EVERYONE SHOULD SEE THEM Any community wishing to, can see the war movies taken by the gov ernment. The only necessary equipment is some sore of projection lantern of which there is a type to suit any lighting arrangement from the oil lamps of the country school to the electric devices of the most modern college. Millions of dollars have been spent taking the pictures and they show on the screen all that the homestay- ing American longed to see. Cantonment and soldier commun ity life are pictured, the building of villages for war work, which grew up like mushrooms over night. Ship building, great engineering feats at home and abroad; transportation of men and supplies; .hospital scenes, and finally, our armies in action on the field. Believing that everybody la the United States should see these pic tures both as matters of deepest pub lic Interest and because of their great educational value, the govern ment is urging that every commun ity having a place where moving Kansas City, Mo., Mar. 26.
