Vvhy Living Is High.
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

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.

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!
