COMPETITION
The price of plywood has drop
ped to $75 a thousand from the
recent peak of $88 and there is
talk that some mills cannot con
tinue in the business.
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

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,
