That good oirl sun tiner time of

not conclusive of either. Of all the
investigations being conducted by
government agencies, this one as to
the cost of living will, undoubtedly
be watched by the people with most
interest.
FOLLOW ENID.
The citizens of Knld. Okla., prt
sen ted a unique situation the other
day in the funeral ceremony and
formal burial of "the knocker's ham-
mer."
This singular proceeding was
deemed expedient and imperative be-
cause local conditions had become
so stringent ihat the town as a
whole was suffering.
The town boosters decided that the
"old town was all right," but that
tht* constant use of the knocker's
hammer had brought forth a critical
situation. In conclave assembled
they decided that "the knocker must
go and the hammer be buried." The
mayor was therefore instructed to
designate a time and place and with
due ceremony proceed to inter the
strife-breeding instrument. The bur-
ial was gone through and now Enid
boasts of "no knockers and no ham-
mer."
Shawnee faces a similar situation
and aspect. The outlook is fraught
with dire results unless the hammer
Is buried and the wielder scoffed and
spurned. Sapulpa needs boosting and
Mayor Martin ought to be requested
to emulate the example of the mayor
of ESnld and act as Brave-digger to
the knocker's hammer.
Let Shawnee do as Enid has done.
Let ub get rid of thin eternal knock-
ing by burying the knocker's ham-
mer.
THE COST OK LIVING.
Experts at work under the direc-
tion of the department of agriculture
have reported the Increased cost in
some staples to be due, not to higher
prices being paid to the farmers,
and on the basis of this report, the
department of commerce and labor
has set experts to work to tind out
to what this Increase is due. So,
in all the series of investigations,
official and otherwise, and all th
speculation of economlsto, we seen
to be as far as ever from a satis-
factory explanation of the high cost
of living, says the Omaha Bee.
Surely by now the people have
learned enough about the problem of
the cost of living to know that It Is
a very Intricate problem and not one
for partisan speculation. It certain-
ly is not one for careless handling
by politicians. It would be Idle, for
instance, to ascribe political causes
for the recent rise in the price of
meat, when the main reason is ob-
vious in the poor condition of graz-
ing land of the west. Or, similarly,
as to the doubled price of potatoes,
which is due directly to a very poor
crop.
High and low prices, though, al-
ways have been and probably al-
ways will be, a relative proposition.
The man who sells wants high
prices, the man who buys, low. They
should not, therefore, unqualifiedly,
be held up as indications either of
very prosperous times or adversity.
They bear a relation to both, but are
DON'T YOtJ KNOW.
You don't know. You can't tell
You may be on the list. So don't
get gay. If the town was permitted,
by a ballot, to banish 10 of the most
undesirable citizens, we are dead
surt we would receive a whole lot
of votes. Did it evor occur to you
that your name might be on the list
When you are swiping your neigh-
bors are swiping you. You don't
know and you can't tell. There is
something good, something to ad-
mire in every man. No person is
wholly bad. Did you ever think of
that? You are not really much bet-
ter than those with whom you asso-
ciate. So, for fear the town will go
to voting and that you might, be in
eluded in the list of candidates to be
Invited to take your foot in hand
and get out, you should not be so
chipper in scalawaging others. Did
it ever occur to you that the gossip-
ing habit grows on you, just like
the whisky habit or tobacco habit?
Well, It does, and if you were told
that you were counted among the
biggest gossipers in town, you would
get mad and want to tight. Better
be kind to your neighbors. The town
will be here just the same, long
after you are forgotten. So, if you
wish people to speak kindly of you,
after you are dead, be <t man while
you are alive It pays. Exchange.
