SMITH, PRopr. Telephone 177 -:- -:- Plattsmouth, Neb. THE COST OF LIVING A year and six months after the signing of the armistice America finds itself facing an accelerated upward movement in prices. It has been a per iod of almost constant rise. Every month for a year has been takeu f jr the peak month. Yet just now a fresh upward movement begins which takes on the appearance of a stam pede. Flour, coal, building mater ials, clothing, sugar nearly every thing takes a fresh upward leap Nothing of importance comes down. The whole country has been em ployed during this year and a ?ai. An idle man is idle wilfully. Pro duction is a little higher than be fore the war. Exportation, as a re sult of the exchange situation, is limited. There is no acute shortage of goods. The watering of the na tion's money stocks can account for a great increase in prices over pre war times. But the continued rise, especially the present increases, are not explained by known natural caus es. Last August a sudden popular re sentment over persistent price in creases put the politicians in a panii:. The president addressed congress on the subject. - Congress made onic circles. The attorney general buzzed about noisly. Governors and fair price commissions took notice. The coal strike came on to call attention to other things and the anti-high price mood passed. Prices cairn 1? held their own and better. Look close and you see now the beginning of what promises to be a more belligerent mood of the people than was shown even last year. There is one peculiarly ominous man ifestation. Your proud American loves to buy things without asking the price. He would feel humilfhted to be caught objecting to any price however high, as he makes hi. pur chases. Americans take pride in playing the pacifist, when their pock etbooks are attacked. This supi.:e America just now shows signs of balkiness. However crude the meth od, the overall clubs, and the "cheap cut" weeks show a new spirit. The most docile people on the fac2 of the earth shows signs of revolt. This is likely to mean that no mat -ter how beautifully the conventions, write their platforms, the one poli- NEBRASKA ii Itistoi tcLMia rtf on v armiint this year i iv, a a ioouv v. "--rf (will be the h.c. 1. That is pretty 'sure to be the case if the present price movement continues into the summer and fall. What will the politicians do then? These prices have arisen underv a democratic administration. Th ls- ! sue will be embarrassing for that party. But as yet the only plan o the republican congress which af fects the cost of living is a plan to raise the soldier bonus by a tax on retail sales, the direct effect of which will be further to increase the ist of living State Journal. THE .WOMAN AT THE BANK Fi:rseholderi is one of the er? many descripti'ves of man as diotln-riir-iiQd from voman. But there nr. si.:!? that he s los.rg this distil -tion. Som think they are, so far, v.";n.i observv? -('iat he is goinv; in '--jse it altog;Jitr. One of the economic phenomena of the present time is the large and rapid increase of the number of wo men depositors in the banks, as shown by banking reports. A wo man in charge of the woman's de partment of a Chicago bank says that women are proportionately saving more than men and that twice as many women are now saving money as before the war. Then she gives an instance showing that the ratio is much greater than this. Five years ago the number or women de positors at her bank was 215 and the amount of their credit was $300, 000. Today there are 1,700, with a total deposit of $1,000,000. This would seem to show at least that women are not more guilty than 111211 of the reckless expenditures every where which Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Lefingwell h;i just been telling the Academy of Political Science is one of the causes of high prices, and there are women in the banking business who are certain the bank ledgers demonstrate conclu sively that women are much more economical and thrifty than the men. The bank books at Springfield, 111., show that three out of every fo-n- new depositors are women. In th3 last three months 56 per cent of the new savings accounts opened in Den ver are in the names of women. One St. Louis bank says its number nf women depositors has increased 33'i per cent, another 7 per cent, another 20 per cent, and another 23 per cent. Where are the women getting the money? A Denver banker says "it simply means the husbands are giv ing their wives their wages." A Springfield banker says the high cost .of living has resulted in the wo men assuming charge of the weekly pay check, - and this gets support from a Milwaukee banker who says that half his depositors are women, and that half of the women deposit their husband's savings. It appears plain enough, too, that woman has become not only a con spicuous saver, but also a financier, for they are patronizing the trust companies. One-third of the depos itors of a Des Moines trust company are women, and women are begin ning to study investments. They are uniformly not in for any get-rich-quick schemes, but prefer small and certain profits to big dividends on speculative stocks. They put their money into 5 and 6 per cent gilt edge bonds. x The whole subject needs an analy sis which could not fail to be most interesting. Another woman mana ger of the woman's department of a Chicago bank, while appreciating the increased amounts that husbands are giving to their wives to be "salted down", is convinced that banking by women is much more significant than that would indicate and forecasts ev en a shifting of financial affairs from masculine to feminine hands. She attributes a large part of the saving by women to the increased activity of women, on their own account, in business and their signal success in their enterprises. She interprets it as a feature in woman's evolution and a further evidence of the shat tering of the old "clinging vine and oak" theory. Woman's business capacity is no secret to thousands of husbands, and almost any old husband will admit that his wife is- thriftier than him self. So we needn't fear any harm if finally the main bank will be for women and men's business will be done in a "men's department." World-Herald. :o: THEY DANCED WE PAY Says the Wall Street Journal: "The men, well paid as they were, well fed and well treated in a way to compare favorably with any other soldiers engaged, want money now, without caring whether the business of the country goes to ruin." Says the Des Moines Tribune: "If the boys will read those few sentences with intelligent under standing they will know all they will ever need to know about who pays. "When it was conscripting the youth of the nation for bloody sac rifice the Wall Street Journals were so patriotic they nearly burst. But when it comes to taking enough mon ey out of the war fortunes of the stay-at-homes to give these same boys a fair start in life again then the "Wall Street Journals are almost beside themselves. "If the American people ever con sent to let the swollen fortunes of the war get out of doing the fair thing by the boys who were con scripted and compelled to risk their lives to make these war fortunes pos sible, then the American people will have convicted themselves of every thing that can be charged against n militaristic people. For the whole theory of militarism is that the boys j of every generation are natural can non fodder that those in power may get more power. "The mere fact that money is pow er in America, while social position is power in Europe, does not change the nature of the equation." :o: DISPOSES DF LIGHT PLANT From Tuesday's Dally. Jess Warga. the agent of the Phelps Lighting plants for the farm and home has just disposed of a new and complete outfit to Will Meisin ger, who is having it installed in his home. A large number of the farm ers of this portion of the county have taken advantage of the opportunity of having their own light plant in stalled and being assured of all the modern conveniences at their home. AND STILL THEY COME From Tuesday's Daily. The supply of coyotes in Cass coun ty appears to be very great this year and there is hardly a day that the county clerk's office, does not receive t consignment of scalps for which a bounty of $: each is paid by the state.

CASTS HER FIRST VOTE AT NINETY YEARS OF AGE Much has been said recently about women-of advanced age casting their first ballot. Mrs. Eliza Hollenbeck. who is past 90 years of age had the proud distinction of casting her bal lot at the primary election on Tues day last week. She has reason to feel proud of living in a time when the women have become entitled to the right of equal suffrage and of having had the privilege of partici pating in the same.
