WOMAN’S CLUB ACTIVITIES.
The O’Neill Woman’s Club held
their general meeting on Wednesday
afternoon at the club room.
After the transaction of the busi
ness Mrs. Suhr, critic, read a very
instructive paper on the use and mis
use of the six troublesome verbs, lay
vl lie, sit and set, raise and rise.
Also many other common words, or
words in the most common use, which
are so often misused. Mrs. Suhr’s
talks, which are a feature of the gen
eral meeting, are most helpful to the
women of the club, and those who miss
these meetings are missing instruct
ion which is very helpful to any wo
man.
The next important feature of the
meeting was the parlimentary drill, in
which Mrs. Miles acted as chairman,
and Mrs. Swigart as secretary. Those
participating in this drill were, Mes
darr.es Gilligan, Miles, Cowperthwaite,
Curtis, Gillespie, Bowen, Malone,
Swigart, Haffner, Hunter, Pettijohn
and Wise.
Mrs. Gilligan read an explanatory
article on the present situation in the
political word, urging all women to
not only vote but to help get out the
vote. This was no oniy instructive,
but a great help to all women who do
net have ti v.e. in the stress of house
hold duties, to read the newspapers at
length, and inform themselves in all
the details of the present situation.
The meeting closed with the singing
of the Club song, America the Beau
tiful led by Mrs. Reardon.
The fifth Wednesday in the month,
October 29th, will be utilized by the
Literary and Art department.

Cost of operating the railroads during Government
control increased abnormally. This has now been sub
stantially deceased under private management.
Hourly and daily rates of pay for railway employes
are yet higher than they were during Government
Control.
Beginning with January, 1922, the Interstate Com
merce commission has made several reductions in freight
rates until fully one-half of the advance in freight rates
made in 1920 has been wiped out.
Rates are still about forty per cent higher than be
fore the war.
None of this increase in rates goes to the owners of
the railroads. The net return to the owners is less than
it was before the war, and this notwithstanding the fact
that more than two billion dollars have been invested by
the railroads since 1917.
All of the increases in rates, both freight and pas
senger, express and other service, have gone and are
going to pay higher wages, higher taxes, and higher costs
of materials and supplies.

The Truth About Deflation
A federal reserve board, creature of the last democratic
administration, took nearly two billions of dollars out of circu
lation. That was deflation.
The farmer was forced, without notice, to dump his crops
upon a flooded market. That was deflation.
Prices went down and down as a result of a too-rapid
deflation—wheat dropped to sixty cents a bushel and com to
thirty-eight cents.
These things happened before the republican party as
sumed control of the government’s machinery in March, 1921.
The first mention of deflation is found in President Wil
son’s message to congress on August 8, 1919.
Deflation was hurled upon the farmer in December, 1919,
more than a year after the signing of the armistice. Members
of the federal reserve board which threw the bomb were all
democrats appointed by President Wilson.
On January 16, 1920, the federal reserve board issued no
tice that loans m/ust be reduced.
On January 23, 1920, the federal reserve banks raised dis
count rates to six per cent.
Senator Owen, democrat from Oklahoma, charged that
this policy caused a depreciation of liberty bonds from eight
to fifteen per cent, and a loss of $3,000,000,000 to millions of
liberty bond holders in the United States.
This same federal reserve board insisted that member
banks of the federal reserve system dispose of their liberty
bond holdings at prevailing market prices.
Deflation and restriction of credits took place before the
republican national convention met in June, 1920. The policy
of deflation was a part of the democratic program and an
accomplished fact before the republican party came into power
on March 4, 1921. »
The democratic administration in 1918 urged the farmers to
extend their credit and raise bumper crops.
The Nebraska farmers heeded the call. Labor was high.
Materials were high. Seed was high. Everything was high
and a too rapid deflation struck the farmer squarely between
the eyes and came with the harvest of the most expensive crops
in the world’s history.
Deflation was the issue two years ago in the senatorial
contest in Nebraska between R. B. Howell and Gilbert M.
Hitchcock. Mr. Howell was elected by a majority of 75,000.
That was one answer of the people to the question of .who was
responsible for deflation.
Now a word about inflation. The farmer was discrimi
nated against during that period under the democratic admin
istration. In 1917, on the day before the price of wheat 'was
fixed at $2.20, it was selling on the open market at $2.78, a loss
of 58 cents on every bushel to the grower. Wheat was not per
mitted the freedom of other commodities and the farmers of
Nebraska lost millions.
Cotton, chief commodity of the democratic solid south,
was given all the freedom in the world. No attempt was made
by the democratic administration to fix a price limit there.
