Why The Goods We re
So High.

An old woman once asked in
dry goods store to be shown
some silk. A young clerk show
ed her some, saying; 1--WE can
do this for you at SLIGO a yard =
The woman asked for something
better, but the clerk replied
that they had nothing better.
Whereupon the proprietor came
for ward and said:
"Gou must excuse my assist
ant madam; he is new to the
business Here, madam, is
superior article, 81 90 yard.
If it were not for the fact that |
bought it some time ago we
should have to charge you 1915,
for, as you are doubtless aware,
owing to the recent epidemic
among the SllkWormS, the price
of silk has increased enormous.
ly OF late. The customer took
the silk. A few days later the
some old woman came in and
asked for some tape. The clerk
said glibly:
Here is some that we can let
you have at l6 cents the dozen
yards. Il it wasn't for the fact
that we have had it in stock
same time we should have to
charge 20 cents, for, as you are
doubtless aware, owing to the
recent epidemic among the tape
worms, the price of tape has
gone up enormously" 1t was

The Lumber Men.

Under the above head and in
reply TO the question. Is there
a lumber trust, the Fort Worth
Daily Record of Mon lay says:
A Houston lumberman tells
readers of today's Record that
there is not. He declares that
the association Is purely CO.
operative, mutua and advisory,
and he accounts for the steady
advances in lumber during sew
eral years past by showing the
great increase in demand with
out corresponding increase in
supply.
Advance in price does not
prove the existence OF a trust.
If it did every cotton farmer
could be convicted of conspira
cy, for prices have been profta-
bly, high for five years, with the
exception of the slump in Dec
1904. At the same time, the
public is warranted in suspect
ing a trust whenever a CONNER
cial commodity advances, es-
pecially when the producers
and handlers Of that commodity
are known to be compactly or
gained
1t does not require all the
mills TO constitute trust. A
half dozen strong mills may con-
stitute a trust and effectively
prevent competition, for the in
independent mills might indi-
vidually adopt the trusts prices
rather than invite its dis
pleasure.
The case is neither proved
nor disproved by the facts made
public. Since there are suspi-
clons and allega of lum
Der trust and since the members
of the lum bermen S association
so freely invite inquiry, it would
be well for the law officers of
the state to make careful inves
tigation of the associations
methods, and while they are at
it, they might inquire into the
local situations throughout the
state where there are charges Of
retail ordinations.
If there is no conspiracy, the
mbermen are entitled to &C
quittal from popular suspicion
and if some of them are igno
nantly violating the antitrust
law, il would be well for tn EN-
to know it.
From all the evidence present
ed, The Record is inclined to
think that present prices are
Canyon City news. (Canyon City, Tex.) 1903-1908, 1906-02-16

In the main, there is very little
difference in prices on staple ar.
ticles between retail dealers and
the catalogue houses. The differ
ence chiefly lies in the fact that
the catalogue houses not only 90
after the customer but keep after
him and the country retailer doesn't.

spent such an enjoyable time
while in your little city among rel
ativeS, and old friends from all
parts of the county, | cannot help
but give vent to my feelings.
The first thing of note which we
all feel proud OF is her superior
citizenship, many OF whom have
come into the country in the past
few years, whose acquaintance |
was glad to make while attending
court.
Not having visited your little vii
lage for quite awhile, living in the
extreme part of Randall County, |
was surprised to see the magnificent
growth taken on in way OF nice
cottages on the western streets,
extending seemed to me, three
fourths OF a mile. lined up with nice
residences and beautiful yards.
1t will be noticed and appreciated
by all hlgh-minded men and women
the steps you have taken in organ
ling Fore, try Association with
view of freeing your streets and
country homes Nothing will add
so much in beauty and making
happy homes, as the little amount
of money spent in this way. 1t is
acknowledged by all who come our
way from other countries, that we
have the richest land, the pureSt
water, as we'll as the finest atmOS-
phere in the world; with these
/ three essentials, and trees dotted
all over our streets and country
homes, what an inviting scene! |
was 50 glad to notice IN your paper
so soon after organizing, a
call for meeting on Tuesday
night following. This shows lite,
energy and pluck on the part of
your officers with a plucky set of
the old pioneers to stand by them.
That's right, be phiIanthropic.
Besides beauty there is CONNER
ciai side to the question.
Bulletin I58 f the Ohio expert
mental station gives full reports of
Black Locust groves fifteen years
old none of which had received
careful attention in the way of
pruning, cultivation, most of which
had been planted too closely, show
ed an average yield Of 2,777 posts
per acre, g per cent of which
were first class, valued at $238. %
per acre or $40 90 per acre each
year since the trees were planted.
Let US as citizens heed the in
junction of the Book of books and
adorn our homes. Inspire the chill
dren, setting apart few trees for
them, and soon they will have
grown to be men and women with
an eye for the beautiful and good.
