Here is what tiie LiuieJ S:a:e Council oi .National lJcteaic, com posed oi tae Uar, Aay, liitenoi. Agriculture, conic; ce ana Laoor Uw juiuiicii.s, vttiicn nas just maJe a caidui investigation ot die higti cos. ji nung, tinJs: iiiat tne .ations productive po ers have not teen tuny utilized since .lie armistice. ihat too tew goods, notably the necessities 01 lue, ha.e been pro duced, and that even some of these goods have been withheld from the market, and therefore from the peo ple. That the high cost of living is due in part to unavoidable war iaste and increase of money and credit. That there has been and is con siderable profiteering, intentional and unintentional. The Council believes that the remedies for the situation are: To produce more goods, and to produce them in proportion to the needs of the people. To stamp our profiteering and stop unnecessary hoarding. To enforce vigorously present laws and promptly to enact such further new laws as are necessary to prevent and punish profiteering and needless hoarding. To bring about better cooperation and method in distributing and mar keting goods. To keep both producer and con sumer fully informed as to wha; goods are needed and as to what sup plies are available, so that produc tion may anticipate the country's de mands. A few pointerson the present sit uation are also outlined: Goods and not money are the means of life. Better standards of living are impossible without pro ducing more goods. Man canno: consume what nas not been pro duced. At the war's end our Allies had desperate need of the essentials ot life. We have had to share our re- sources with them, but this drain vili ' : gradually lessen. In so far as our j shortage of goods is due to this cause we can well aftord to be patient. 1 It is just as essential that we have : patience with the economic situa-, EE tion here at home. 'I he process ot ; EE production requires time. If pro- j EE duction is rapidly increased, vastly , 'improved conditions will prevail in America when the results of present EE and tuture begin to appear. : EE Team work is imperative. It is EE just as essential between retailer, EE wholesaler and producer as it is be EE tween employer and employee. On. EE group of producers cln not wait on jj anotner group. The manufacturer, EE the farmer, the distributor must eacii immediately assume his part of the EE burden and enter upon his task. The EE N.ition cannot aRord curtailm.-.it f goods vital to the people. On American business rests a grave responsibility for efficient co operation in bringing about full and EE proportionate production. On Ameri- EE can labor rests an equally grave re- EE sponsibility to attain maximum pro- EE duction and maintain uninterrupted distribution of goods if labor itself E5 is not to suffer from further rises in the cost of living. EE The entire Nation producer, dis- EE tributor, and consumer alike should EE return to the unity that won the war. ' EE Group interests and undue personal EE gain must give way to the good ot J the whole country if the situation is EE to be squarely met. i EE Our common duty now, fully as EE much as in the war, is to work and EE save. In the words of the President ; EE in his address to the country on EE August 25, 1919, only "by increas-! ing production, and by rigid economy ' EE and saving on the part of the people, can we hope for large decreases in the burdensome cost of living which i weighs us down." Give Them A Chance, i The importance of sanitation of, rural schools has been made the sub-1 ject of extensive investigation by the V. S. ruMic Health Service. Thous ands, of persons, mostly school chil dren, were examined during the in vestigations. It v.as found that little considera tion has been given to sanitation in :he construction of the largest num ber of school buildings visited. Hither in location, heating, lighting, ir ventilation, seating of the pupils, 'oeation of blackboards, or sanitarv conveniences, they are inadequate. The necessity of extending to ru--al schools the same sanitary advan ces now enjoyed in urban schools is obvious. The health of the country children 5 just a? important to the nation as s the health of the city children. They should hive the sime educa ional opportunities and under, the inie healthful conditions. In some rural communities this is lot financially possible. The state and federal governments hould make up the deficiency, so hat no child is denied what any ither child receives, be that in fraction or sanitary schoal housing. i i i i ione Paper Resumes Publica tion. 1 The lone Independent, which stopped publication about a year igo, has resumed, this time under .he guidance of E. S. Ackerman, a nan of several years experience in .he publishing business. Mr. Ackerman says in his salu .atory, that he has not hitched his wagon to a star, but is content to stay on earth and give the best that is in him. The first issue of his pa per, which appeared last week, bears him out in that statement. The pa per, "born anew," is filled with news ind advertising and reflects credit jpon the business men of Ione as well as Mr. Ackerman. ; The Ga:ette-Times extends to Mr. Ackerman the right hand of fellow ship'. May his efforts be crowned with deserved success. Sport That Is Sport. Congressman Bland, of Indiana, said to his fellow legislators that small-town folks didn't have to set :he alarm clock ahead an hour "to let more time in the afterno'on for 3olf." He insisted that the folks in nis home town would rather pitch lorseshoes than play golf anyway. Now we have watched them play ng golf on courses owned mainly by iig city millionaires. Also we have seen more, or less (usually less) golf j played near smaller cities and towns. And we have tried our hand at knocking a little ball around a green golf course, but between you, us and the gate post, we would rather pitch horseshoes any day in the week than chase a golf ball about. ! No mere game of ball can equal the well placed "ringer" when one finally succeeds in twisting the horse shoe around the stake. That is achievement worth while. How any man can choose golf when he might be pitching horse- i shoes is beyond our ken. There is as much exercise in pitching hor'- Uhoes, more fun, and you can enga;;e in the sport in your own back yard whenever you feel like it. You don't i ' , have to chase miles away from home t to get started. And where golf balls are contin ually getting lost and increasing in price, some kind horse is always , '-ickin of a shoe going by the house and stakes are easily obtained. Take your golf. Give us the horse shoe! Something S.ived. A tvMic toM'lier, e''n a losson to a cart-lr pupil, v:is l-vmilng Impn tlent !!! t".

Quality In Printing A GREAT MANY Busi ness men are becoming just as particular about the kind and quality of printing they use as they are of the goods they sell or the clothes they wear. In fact they are demanding "Printing of Quality" and nothing pleases us more than to.be called upon by particular customers for "Quality Printing." Does your printing have the "Quality" trade mark?
