The Clinton News Record, 1920-9-30, Page 3IIIGH COST OF LIVING APPEARS ON DOWN GRADE IlttINITED STATES • Two of Largest Mail Order F inns in the World Announce 1Reduction-Authorities Believe Peak of * Rices Has Been Passed, A, despatch from Now York sepia- 13asinese MU aro wondering if Herne?' Ford started somethingo Ming down Prices, or whether ho made his cola- brated oslashinge announcement at • the Most dramatic time. Reports gathered here indieate that a good many more articlebesides Ford mo- tor ears aro coming down. , General belief that the peak of high prices has been passed and that the direction of the curve is now down- ward was expreseed jy businesemen M many cities of this country. The H. H. Franklin Manufacturing Co„ makers of the Franklin autenn bile, was the first of Mr, Ford's com- petitors to follow his lead, and ea- nounced cuts in the priee of its cars from 17 to 21: per cent. Two of the largest mail order hous- es in the world, Sears, Roebuck & Co., and Montgomery, Ward & Co., both of Chicago, announced substantial reduc- tions in• many lines of merchandise. "The list included men's and women's clothing, shoes, furniture and a few staple •foodstuffs. How soon the consumer might ex - peat to benefit directly and the high cost of living cut to the average rat- zen was a matter of speculation. There was a general agreement that the con- sumer would benefit eventually, but could not expect to get the full ad- vantage the wholesale reductions at eine, The consumer was expected to bene - lit first in lower prices for clothing and other manufactures of textiles, as the reductions ain the textile trades have been more marked than in any other. Lower clothing prices are not looked for until next spring. In other manufactured textile goods farther retaif reduction may be looked fot, earlier, Despatches from the larger cities of the country showed that substantial retail price reduction's had taken place or were expected, the teadency toward lower prices having been in effect in some cities for several menthe, be- cause of an increasing tendency on the part of the public to refuse to buy anything but necessities. Many Former Russian Nobles • Work to Earn Living A despatch from Palle says: -Many aif the Russian nobility who fled from Bolshevism to France now meet its ohlef -requirement, that all must work With their hands that they may eat. The rdster of deposed royalty is long, but every few days there comes -to public knowledge the situation of another Russian person of prominence whom adairsity has not conquered. A large dairy farm haw been estab- lished near Paris by Count Pain Tgna- tieff, where members of that family and some of their noble friends are reconstructing another fortune. The Duke of Leuchtenberg-Beanhar- . nais is -farming near Tours. The Prince Lyszezynski is a bank, clerk. Princesa ldestchercky and a number ef others are commercializing tbeir, knowledge of art, doing interior de- corating. Prince Goudacheff, once Russian Ambaseader to Spoilt, is a farmer. Gen. Nicolajeff drives a truck and many Russian officers are me; chattier, and some are taxicab chauf- feurs. PREMIER'S APPEAL • REJECTED. BY MINERS Government Proposals for In- dependent Tribunal Are Turned Down. A despatch from .London says: - Premier Lloyd George made another appeal on Thursday to the miners to accept the Government's proposal and refer the question of an increase in wages to an -independent tribunal, or, as an alternative, to meet the owners and agree upon a scheme increasing' the output, which the Government be- lieves would give the miners more wages than they are' demanding. • But the Premier's appeal was futile. The miners insisted that their de- mands for a two shillings increase should be granted immediately, and ptissed a resolution refusing to with- draw the strike notices, which expire Saturday. Thus, unless the Government re- lents within the next -forty-eight hours the miners will, after the last shift on Saturday, lay down heir tools, and the mines will be idle Monday. At a meeting of the miners' repre- sentatives during. the day, Robert Smillie reported on the position taken up by the Premier and his offer. Ile said the committee could not recom- mend the acceptance of either of the Government's proposals. A lengthy discussion ensued as to whether the Government's proposal to submit the question of wages to an impartial tri- bunal shouldbe referred back to the districts and a vote taken. Mr. Smillie, as president, submitted a resolution to doll -tie; but 'en a 'card vote it was decided that nothing had happened that required such reference back. Telegrams were sent to the various districts, calling on all -work- ers necessary for the maintenance of the pumping and coking plants and other machinery and the .care of the horses to continue working until fur- ther notice. Princess Mary Lures Scots t - to "Swimming Match." A despatch from Salmeral, Scot- land, says: -Princess Mary tore Scot- tish hearts this week. • She hooed" for a side show blatantly la- belled "Swimming Match," and from each of scores of sporting Scots this inexorable Princess extracted a three- pence before she would let them in. They entered the show and saw a two - foot tub of water in which bobbed en ordinary lucifer blown hither and you by Capt. Ramsay and John Stirton, The exit from this• led to Prince George's booth, where that amiable young man extracted from each Scot another threepence before permitting them to leave. However, before they left he let them sit in the Queen's musical chair. " 'Twas- grand, but when ye break o saxpeuce-bang!" said one of the victims. America Expec led to Make • Up German Crop Shortage A despatch from Berlin says: -Two fallen tons of breadetuffs must bo impo-rted by Germany, chiefly from America, as- the 1920 crop will be con- eiderebly 'short of the country'a re- quirements, says an announcement by the president of the Imperial al -min Department. The ryo crop has been a disappoint- ment and thisyear'e harvest of bread- stuffis calculated to yield only 7,000,- 000 tons, while land devoted to bread- stuff production has diminished more than 7 per cent. ..„ New President of France Premier _Alexandre Millerand, who succeeds M.

' Deliveries of German Coal Proceeding Satisfactorily A despatch from Paris saysf-Coal, coke- and lignite to the total al 1,975,- 000 tons was despatched by Germany to France, Italy, Belgium and Luxem- bourg during the month of August, ac- cording to official information leaned by the Reparation Commission. Your. fifths of the amount was allocated to France and about equal shares of the remainder to Italy and Belgium, ex - pt for 90,000 tons, which went to Luxembonrg. Sixty-three por cent, of the fuel des- patched was coal, 29 per cent. coke and the remaining 8 per cent. lignite. A detailed Programme for the de- ltvery of 2,000,000 tons of fuel during September, in accord-ara-0 with the Spa ametecol, has been fixed, and de- liveries are proceeding satisfactorily. Right Royal Welcome for Empire's Ambassador A despatch from London says ;-The Daily Sketch is 'promoting a plan for a civic welcome to the Prince Of Wales when he returns home. It an - flounces that the King has approved the scheme and that the matter is now being pressed with the Government. Local authorities in London are en• thusiasticsily taking up the proposal, and plans are going forward. They will bo qualified only by a coal strike. The Daily Sketch says it is not to be thought that the "Bnipire Ambassa- dor should return without a right royal welcome." 111 DELEGATES To THE NINTH CONGRESS OF CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE OF THE EMPIRE IN TORONTO Group of the British delegates taken on lawn at Queen's Hotel, Toaento.

A despatch from Ottawa says; -Sia far Ele Officials of the Department of Railways have been informed, the Movement of grain over the 'railway lines on the prairies is progressing satisfactorily, There le known to be an immense demand fot wheat cars now that thrashing.is well wider way, this demand arising from the fact that all the farmers who have finished their thrashing are attempting -to get their grain down to the head of the lakes before the cloee_of navigalon, }Tow - ever, every effort was made before the opening of the grain movement to marshal a supply of grain cars at Western points, and there are, it is thought, still considerable cars on hand. It is pointed out, however, that complaints of car shortage on any of the various lines serving the wheat - growing districts would be handled by the Canadian Railway Association, and these matters would not come be- fore the Railway Department to any extent: SIX CONSTABLES KILLED IN MOTOR CAR Houses Fired and Civilians Shot Dead Near Lahinch, A despatch from Dublin says: -An official report issued at Dublin Castle on Thursday evening shows that the attack Wednesday on a motor lorry containing six policemen near Lahinch was more serious than previously an- nounced.

Only one-third of the world's potem tial food -producing area is under culta vation, and the crops raised on that third, thanks to agrieultural science, increase yearly . Only about three quarters- of Cana- da is. explored. Of this area, totalling 1,401,000,000 acres, only 34,000,00a acres of its 440,000,000 arable acres are ander cultivation. The United States has only some 400 million of its 935 million acres of arable land under cultivation, yet it raises, among other things, one-sixth ol the world's corn supply. The farms of America raise lees than half as much wheat to the acre as those of England, yet even with her pres-eut stardard she could raise enough corn to meet the needs of Europe on the land that is now lying unused. Ramie, produces only ten bushels to the acre of cern, but when science has access to other untold millions of -acres, and brings their capacity up to the standard of our own farms, then, she atone will be able to supply the world's cereal needs, with the excep- tion of maize and rice. Len than a third of the world's population gets- what we should call ing capabilities of the, from our point Mg capabilities of the, fro our paint a view, underfed continents of Asia and Africa, will compare very well with either Europe or America. The average meat consumption of the world is thirty-nine pounds a head, yet both the Australian and the American eat nearer 180 pounds. per head, and the Englishman is not far behind with about 120 pounds. It is evident, then, that we can tighten our belts a. hole or two yet without running any undue risk of starvation. :..
