That is rough on the mills that can’t compete and on their em ployees. It could have been ex pected. Those who cannot stay in any business except when prices are extraordinarily high are al ways the ones to lose out first— and who can say but it is the pro per way to run an economy? In Sherman county’s business the same thing will happen some day. Wheat will drop in price and t/hose who can barely stay in bu siness at $2 wheat will be doing something else or learning some new rules of economies. The ones who will remain will lx? those who have been raising wheait for $1.25 and feeling happy about the profits. High prices are dangerous for they lead to extravagance; too much credit, careless manage ment. And when prices are high they’ll naturally go down Just as they will probably go up when they are low. Wle have had extremely high •prices in much of our national qponomy for so long that compe tition should soon serve to crowd out the Inefficient operators. It Is said that General Motors could sell cars cheaper If It wasn’t for becoming fatal competition for other car makers. That condition can’t last long either. Although It isn’t always appar ent we do have a competitive cap italistic system In this country and such a system works to elim inate the Inefficient producer. That is why we invent new things —to stay in the competition; that Is why we produce so plentifully and abundantly. It’s because tlhe devil kikes the hindmost. And It's no business of government to in terfere. It may seem odd but historical societies are not composed of his torians any more than an Audu- hon society is composed of birds. It Is enough to lie Interested in history and not an expert. Most of those who attend the meeting of the Sherman County Historical society and who will attend the 1956 meeting on June 10 have an interest in local history. Some are Interested in meeting friends, and the picnic is a good place for that; some like to eat, and «he picnic is a good place for that, too. The wisdom that elders (have, come from observation of man kind and nature throughout their lives. Youths could obtain wisdom more quickly by the same process but youths have a do-it-yourself complex tlhat they have to get over lK‘fore learning that one can learn about traps without nibbling the cheese. Sherman county has an inter esting history and the old timers who will sit under the trees at DeMoss Springs park a week from Sunday will recall a lot of it as they tell airout “a time when”. Times have changed. Sure, they have. And times are changing, so fast that he who stops to con gratulate himself on being mod ern must not delay long lest he become ohPfashoned. Customs and manners revolve so fast and recur so often that he wiho Is old- fashioned will lx? In style again quicker than the moderns. There will be a few there who can remember when the tall hunchgrass waved on every hill and trails ran up the ridges to mark t)he way from one stockman cabin to another; who will remem ber a rough ixiard schoolhouse, a homestead shan k near a rosebush hidden spring.
