'Trustee Old High Cost of Living has scored another victory In Columbia. Aftor resisting his encroachments for sev eral years, the! barbers have at last been forced to capitulate and at a "meeting last night the local fraterni ty unanimously agreed that from anil after Thursday, January 1, the price of a shajve in Columbia would be twenty cents I instead of fifteen cents.
