London has flashed the news all over, the world that the price of wives has increased in Central Africa from four spearhead to eight for a fine young woman sixteen hands ;high, and in the cattle district from four cows to eight. A fact to smile over "' '' But hold. In our land of love and free choice in matrimony, 1ias there- not been an even greater advance in the expenditure nccessarv for the maintenance of a wife?-Is it not true that in this, the natural mating season, the hopes of cort :jugat bliss so dear to many well matched young .pairs are thwarted or postponed because of the high cost of living? :', , Doubtless so. Marriage, in the cities at any rate! is not the simple. affair it once was, finan cially considered. In years past, when a young woman married with the expectation of being a frugal housekeeper for her husband his cook, maid, washwoman, sewing girl and money-saver, as well as companion and wife both entered matrimony prepared and expecting to do with out many conveniences and luxuries until to gether they might earn and save enough to buy a home and enjoy the fruits of their Own self denial. It was a working agreement thlcn .for; both husband and wife. ' We dare say it is the same now, in many in stances. But not in all. Young women are -tiot quite so willing now to give up comfortable homes and undertake to control their futures by economy and hard work. Many of them look upon matrimony chiefly as a release from care and financial responsibility, and will not consider it upon other than comforting assur ances of abundant pin money, servants, fine clothing, excellent living quarters, and social pleasures, i nere s a reason. 1 . Our young people, many of them, have been trained in the expectation of "living easy" on the results of the labor and self-denial of their parents. Too many parents, perhaps, are deny ing themselves comforts in order that their children may enjoy unearned pleasures;, and thereby robbing their sons and . daughters of . manly and wpmanly ambition and independence. ;The young man and woman who step front 1i ,n . n 4 U a 1.1... fM, on1 ilti.- A t ' U iivniv ii iiit- iiuiwu aim nuai, aim iijiip Atic altar and church to the world of work domestic for the woman, money-earning for the man determined to win success by their own- efforts, stand a far better chance of happy and useful lives, than the pampered darlings of indulgent parents, who start life's most important duties impeded with the money somebody else has earned. What must be the effect on the morale of a newly wedded pair to be "kept" by. the earnings of others? There's another reason.' Many young women, admitted to business opportunities, have tasted the joys of self-support and independence, and learned to love them. They hesitate to throw them over and trust everything to a man. Many of them have seen the selfishness of men in their homes; have watched their mothers bend under household burdens; can visualize tnemseives in the same unhappy circumstances in the future. They shrink from that possibility. And in many prosperous families the daughter sees her father pocketing all the property and resources the . mother's care has assisted in earning, as if it were his own to have and hold forever. , - I. (. '11 U-'llll . Pi VUIUVIIIJ.UIV) .v, ... there's many a husband, if he were just to his wife, who would turn over to her One full half of his property and permit her to spend or save its income as she saw fit, and dispose of it by will as her conscience might dictate. But that's another story. The President Should Worry. Th nresirlenr w an hiisv last summer with - - - - j - - - Hs Leagne of Nations, so interested in the com fort and prosperity of Europe, that he had no time to buy the 1920 Cuban sugar crop, offered at 6M cents a pound. Twice the sugar equaliza tion board urged Mr. Wilson to act, but he wouldn't and didn't. However, sixty days later he permitted his attorney general to agree to a price of 17 and 18 cents a pound for Louisiana sugar, and naturally Cuban sugar advanced. Did the president refuse to assure the people Cuban sugar based on a price of 6Y2 cents be cause he wanted the southern cane planters to catch up with the cotton planters in their profits? Whatever that great brain had in its potato side, its decision is now costing the people a billion dollars a year extra for "sweetening" on an 18H-cent basis. But what is that compared with the sacred Article X of the covenant? Why Sugar is Going Higher." y An admission by Attorney General A" Mitchell Palmer throws a bit of light on the sugar situation. He owns up that he told the sugar planters of Louisiana that 17 to 18 cents a pound would not be considered an "unfair" minimum price for their output. This only about five times the pre-war price for unrefined sugar. It is three times what the president might have secured the Cuban crop for in October last. It is more than twice what te Louisiana planters expected at the time of the, harvest last year. However, it is in a broad way illustrative of the "fair" price procedure of the democratic attorney general, who has been looking for votes in the San Francisco convention, while pretending to protect the ceoole from extortion by profiteers. Mr. Palmer's course is in perfect harmony with that of his party on this point. Promises cost noth ing when the maker has no notion of carrying them out. However, proceedings-have been started down south against a Greek restaurant Weeper who charged 50 cents or a club sand wich. ' ' ' "Made in America" May-Day. The first day of May is to have a new sig nificance this year, to be attended by some ceremonies that vary "quite materially from those which, have characterized it in the past. Imported" from Europe along with some other .things -that might have been - dispensed with. came, the idea of .making' the opening' day of May a' terror to all peacefully inclined people by a display of the red flag. Followers , of that emblem give it varying significance, but all their explanations turn to one end, that it is the destruction of governments and society as they, exist. Whether to be brought about by evolution peaceful or revolution horrent, they intend to overturn things, to put the present top at the bottom and the bottom at the top, and to disturb all that lies between. Most leaders of this "reform" have agreed with the Na poleonic dictum, that "you can not make an omelette without breaking eggs." It is one of the ironies of life that the May Day celebration, once a source of joy and de light to the young folks, who danced 01: the common around the May pole, while their .elders sipped the newly-tapped strong beer, should have been devoted to such a grim purpose as the red flag suggests. Yet that is typical of the movement back of which lurks the anarchist, scarcely troubling to hide his presence, stead fastly bent on destroying all that is in the form of law and order, because his warped mind and distorted vision sees no good in anything, not -even his own grotesque and fantastic dreams. America 011 tomorrow will present the world a spectacle of an American-made May Day cele bration. Millions of earnest, honest, hard working men and women, boys and girls, all devoted to the high ideals and sound principles of Our government, will march the streets of our cities, a living proof that the spirit of Liberty lives, did Glory will wave over them, proud of the army of peace as it ever was of thai of war, and the cheers that go up will be a benediction on that flag and the country it represents. Our land, our homes, arc safe, while Americans can march as they will march on Saturday. Decreasing Bank Deposits. '.-.On February 28 the private deposits in the naftiOnal banks of the country were approxi mately J56OO,OO0,OOO less than they were on De cember .31 two months previous. j' This big shrinkage, in the minds of financial economists.1 marks the beginning of a long decline in-bank' deposits, which doubled during six years because of enormous war profits. Many depositors, owing ta strikes, decrease in business, unrest and other post-bellum influ ences such as speculation and high living costs, have been tapping their bank accounts to tide themselves over. But people who go to bank with their money dislike to have it get away. For that reason, there is now a slowing up of purchases and a turning toward econom;-, by bank dep6sitors at least. The happy-go-lucky spenders arc still scat tering their earnings. Not so the prudent, who know the value of a nest egg. They are ceas ing to buy unnecessaries and practicing thrift. After a while the spenders will be doing so, not because they want to, but because they have to. With this change, prices of commodi ties will be marked down instead of up little by little, probably until the dollar regains - its former purchasing power. Then a maid worth five a week will not get fifteen. An inefficient workman who loafs on his job will not get eight or ten a day. People will get along without help that does not give a fair return for wages maybe! 'At any rate, the big decline in bank deposits has real significance as a sign that the period of retrenchment has set in at last. Reviving. Our Merchant Marine. A bill has been prepared by the senate com mittee as a substitute for that passed by the house which proposes to restore the American merchant marine, and to maintain it as an American institution. It goes .back to the prac tice that prevailed before the war in connection with the coast-wise trade, requiring that all vessels engaged in that traffic be American owned. , One of the chiefest counts against the present democratic administration is that, under the guise of war emergency, i sought to break down this protection to the great domestic water-bo'rne commerce by admitting foreign built and owned bottoms to it on equal terms with American. The new bill goes a little fur ther and provides that 75 per cent of the capital stock of shipping concerns operating under American register must be owned by Ameri cans. Other advantages are that special rates will be permitted for rail-and-water freight, with discriminating tonnage duties against foreign commerce. These are practical and effective methods for building up and conserving the shipping industry. Such a law, continuing the great authority of the Shipping board in con trol, if administered with ordinary wisdom and prudence, .should So foster the newly created merchant marine of America, giving it life and energy to attain a vigorous growth, that an other generation will see almost the total of America's overseas or external commerce car ried on American bottoms. It is a matter of dollars and cents, of profit and loss, but, just as the iron and steel, the tin and other great manufacturing and Commercial enterprises were built up under protection of our tariff laws, so should it be possible to develop the shipping. "Jimham" Lewis is picking candidates for the republican party, overlooking the fact that his own crowd is in considerable of a quandary. Or is he merely playing safe? The American Legion is going after mem bers. If the boys carry on as they did against the Raiser, the drive already is a success. . Working prisoners on highway construction is' not an experiment, and Nebraska can well afford to adopt the practice. One thing we like about the present Mexican revolution is that so far the battles have been conversational. A parade of the Cowan heirs will be next in order.

The big metropolitan newspapers rind no end of sport in criticisingr and making fun of the letters written to the country newspapers from neighboring villages and wayside country places. They seem to think it is all foolishness. Yet the country editor can find as much to amuse him in the Sun day editions of the big sheets. It is amus ing to learn that at a reception of the 400 Miss Jones wore a gown of white satin and iridescent sequins and Miss Brown was rigged out in a ravishing toilet of apricot chiffon taffeta with silver-lace. When you read in the country newspaper that farmer Jones has built a hew barn you learn that something substantial has been done to bet- " ter conditions. The doings of farmer Brown are of more importance than the much ad vertised frivolities of tho so-called "400," many of whom never did a day's work in their life or had a sensible idea In their heads.

So when a man of eminence is due in Omaiia and we must meet his advent with the suitable eclat, we send him an official host who elegantly greets and need it be appended that his name is Mr. Dietz? For Dietz has been abroad upon this tracked and traveled earth, has mingled with a lot of folks of prominence and worth, with notables and nobles both of heritage and pep. They have no gaits so fancy that he ever loses step. So when we set him in the front to shed the needed light, we feel assured that everything is very strictly right. And Dietz's place is properly and fitly to the fore. To sit in B or further back" would be for him a bore.

Next subject: A. R.. Guiou, . ; . . . "LIVE IN THE PRESENT." A high railroad official, a man with an unusually well trained, well poised, keen mind, had a mild stroke of apoplexy. ; He accepted this as a warning and when he returned to work after traveling several months he had' workid"out a business prin ciple. Thereafter he cleaned up his desk every day. Wluyi he left his desk each night every item of busi ness coming over his desk that day had either been disposed of or else had been put in such shape that a successor might take up the work without interruption the next morn ing. This plan worked so well In the conduct of his business ho decided to apply it to his personal life, and, starting with a poised, well trained mlhd, he succeeded easily. He closed every battle, every struggle, every light. The ledger having been bal anced for the day, he carried over rro .animosities, hatreds, angers, jeal ousies, envies, grudges, scores to the following day. ( Ho foiiKht hard, hut he took his successes and his failures as they came, never grouching outwardly or inwardly after the day's work was over. For one thing, this policy cured him of Insofntiia. It kept him mentally fit. It kept him from mix ing his emotional with' his intellec tual processes, vity promoted poise and equanimity. It added to the pleasure of living.- H lost him some battles, but it wonfor'him more than enViugh to compensate. Osier called this living one day at a time "the freshest, the oldest,-and the usefulest of all the hygiohic rules of life," and he Jived according to his, belief. i Prof. W. HBurnham of Clark uni versity wpuld ' have " parents and teachers train , all; children to close their accounts each I day. He says, while most adults are too set in their ways to acquire -fhi'. capacity, chil dren can be" trained to, it. Naturally they live in-'the present. . . AV'ith them -a disposition' to carry over resentments Into the morrow is more or less artWicial. -Quite as help ful are Prof. Burnham's suggestions as to the., use of successes in the training ,of children. When Briggs cartoons' what a baby is thinking about he frequently hits off the thought that tho baby con sciously or unconsciously is realizing satisfaction :fTom an end accomp lished. -..'Right up through infancy and chiliVsood one of. the greatest stimuli is accomplishing results. matching realities with mental images success, i Instead of giving one prize to the student attaining tho highest success. Burnham likes better the scout plan of giving a reward to every child reaching a certain level of accom plishment. He would have praise im mediately bestowed for each praise worthy act. But this policy can be catriad ia the point when it produces selfishness, lack of ability to valua oneself as compared' with others, egotism, and ego mania. Therefore, there is needed the antitoxin of fail ures. Especially Is this antitoxin needed during adolescence. Failure itself can he made the basis of the very best of training.' aside from its use in properly regulated doses as an antidot.o' for success. It can be used to beget initiative, determination, persistence, courage; as well" as an alytical planning. To illustrate this point he uses the old story of two mice that had fallen into a jar of milk. Ope cried "Help! When You Speak of 'Profiteers' You Don't Mean US because our prices, since the war, have ad vanced about 25, whereas we are paying all the way from 100 to 1500 per cent more for labor and materials. - we treat you fairly.

The other cried "Hustle! .Hustle:" and jumped up and down vigorously until he had crawled upon a pat of butter and went to sleep. He even goes bo far as to find pos sibilities of training in worry. How ever, he draws the line at the chronic useless worrier. When you analyze the sense in which the word worrier Is used by Prof. Burnham and by the outlook as quoted by Burnham, you find they have in mind tho prop, eily cautious and tho fairly logically forehanded rather than the worriers.

The greased hands were in eaeed In gloves. These treatments were given nightly for some time. In the early winter of 191!) the disease returned, but was promptly cured by the means described. Exctt'lxcu May Help. A. Xi. R. writes: "What is the cause of what is commonly known as 'chicken breast' and how may it bo corrected?" REPi,Y. Chicken breast is a deformity of the chest which results from rickets. It is duo to a deformity of the ribs and therefore not much change in the shape of the chest can bo ef fected. However, exercises which develop the heavy muscles of tho back and neck are of service. Such exercises as rowing, work on parallel bars, work on ladders, and climbing Bhould prove helpful.
