HIGH COST OF LIVING EASY TO
REMEDY
At last we have a proposal that
promises to bring down the high cost
of living like a thermometer dropping
in a Texas norther.
A wooden shoe dealer, who care
fully conceals his name, advises men
to use wooden shoes and to present
their wives with them, at $1.25 a pair.
They are said to meet all the require
ments of shoes and to be much more
effective than the parental slipper.
Merely abandoning $20 shoes of
leather for $1.25 wooden shoes will
not end the reign of that cruel ty
rant, H. C. L., but the sabot dealer’s
suggestion points unerringly the way
we can if we really are in earnest
about freeing ourselves from the yoke
of this ruthless despot.
After we have adopted wooden shoes
we can put on celluloid collars. This,
however, may be of doubtful use, for
celluloid is inflammable and the in
surance companies might increase our
rates.
The central thought to be grasped
by the economical man is this—we
have been living too well. The high
cost of living is simply the cost of
high living.
How easily we got rid of that costly
machine—the saloon. All that is nec
essary now to reduce living costs is
to eschew other luxuries.
msieau oi wearing sira,w uais wear
cabbage leaves tied under the chin.
If your wife objects hand her the
wooden shoe.
Why wear neckties at all?
There was a man in Kansas a few
years ago named Jerry Simpson—a
mighty statesman—who didn’t wear
socks even in winter. Why not imi
tate our elder statesmen?
It is all very clear that we can re
duce the high cost of living if we
want to.
We closed our saloons, it is true,
but we went right over to the drug
store and paid more for our soft
drinks, and the government imposed
a luxury tax. Of course, ice cream
sodas, ginger ale, root beer and all
the rest of the seductive beverages
are luxuries. Cut them out. Drink
water. If you can stand it, drink
buttermilk, which does not carry the
war tax.
Everybody uses ice. Cut it out.
Nearly everybody eats meat. Cut
it out.
Nearly everybody eats something.
Cut it out—or most of it. They say
that in Russia millions of people have
cut out eating almost altogether.
Don’t go to theaters, circuses,
movies, baseball games or prize fights.
If you go to church, don’t drop any
thing into the collection plate.
Don’t buy books or magazines or
newspapers. If you must read, read
only weekly newspapers.
But how shall we beat the coal man?
Aye, there’s the problem.
We have offered many cures for the
high cost of living. Others will read
ily suggest themselves to the intelli
gent reader.
But there is one sure cure. If you
don’t want living to cost so much, stop
living.

Cordova’s new $200,000 federal
building again looms up in the dis
tance, and this time the “sleeper” has
been ruthlessly awakened by our local
Chamber of Commerce and Delegate
Grigsby. If we keep hammering away
at this public improvement Uncle Sain
may eventually cut the purse string
and allow a flow of the surplus gold
coin in the treasury to drift Cordova
ward.
Forty pounds of amalgam from a
hundred-ton run of quartz that was
put through a little stamp mill in
the Fairbanks district arrived at Fair
banks a short time ago. Although
the amalgam was not assayed, the
owners were well satisfied with the re
sults of the run.
TWO AMERICAN GIRLS
ARE DECORATED WITH
FRENCH WAR CROSS
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY OF
OCCUPATION, June 27 (Correspond
ence of Associated Press).—Miss Cora
Van Norden of New York city, a Sal
vation Army welfare worker with the
First division, and Miss Gertrude Ely
of Bryn Mawr, Penn., in charge of Y.
M. C. A. activities with the Eighteenth
infantry, were decorated recently with
the Croix de Guerre by General An
drieu, commander of a French infan
try division, on behalf of the French
government. The ceremonies took
place at Montabaur, near the edge of
the bridgehead headquarters of the
First division.
General Andrieu also presented the
cross of a Chevalier of the Legion of
Honor to Colonel William F. Harrel
of the Sixteenth infantry, to Colonel
A. Hunt of the Eighteenth infantry,
and to Sergeant Michael B. Ellis of
he Twenty-eighth infantry.
After the presentations had been
made, following the French custom,
General Andrieu kissed the American
officers on the cheek, but when the
general stepped in front of Miss Ely
and Miss Van Norden the officer ap
peared perplexed as to the proper pro
cedure after a decoration had been
presented to a woman.
Major General E. F. McGlachlin,
commander of the First division,
quickly went to his aid. Witnesses
of the ceremony say General Mc
Glachlin kissed the young women on
both cheeks, after the French custom.
Miss Van Norden and Miss Ely are
the first and only women welfare
workers with the First division to re
ceive the Croix de Guerre.
