Locating the Trouble.

professor who gathers statistics
for the agricultural department witt
one hand and evolves theories from
them with the other has announced
that it is not the high price Of things
that causes distress, but the fact that
the common people will be satisfied
with nothing short of the best to take
home to their loved ones.
That is an encouraging sign. When
the man who works hard for S1.1o a
day insists on bringing home seal
skin sack and porterhouse steak in
the same night we may assume that
the world is growing better if not
wiser
1t might not be considered good bust
ness judgment for the boy who earns
Sc week to purchase an automobile,
but still, you know. boys will be boys,
and perhaps he could get as much fun
out of that as anything else for which
he might spend his money. We believe
the professor is on the wrong track.
The best is none too good for the man
who can get 1t.

oats TO raise in price at the beginning
of next week. Predictions made by
local dealers say that both will in
crease in value at least two To three
cents on the bushel, caused by the
number of farmers who are disinclin-
ed to haul their products to market.
The grocery market is offering
many choice edibles at the present
time. Strawberries at 45 cents per

all kinds of not house and southern

SneciaI Correspondence of The Star
FREDERICKSBURG, Va, April 20, 1907.
The city council had rather stormy ses-
sion Thursday night, during which Chair
man Cole of the finance committee threat
ened to resign. The trouble arose over a
letter submitted by the gas committee from
the Kenmore Shoe Company, in which
rsouest was made for larger mains into the
factory. The gas committee was authorized
IN give immediate relief at a cost not to
exceed $500. The same committee presented
q petition from property holders along the
NATIONAL boulevard asking that gas mains
ne extended the length of the road. At this
,oint Col Cole made an emphatic state
ment TO the council that the city could not
extend gas mains because of lack of money.
Mr. Warden produced a report from the
finance committee and, after deducting re-
cent expenditures. showed balance of over
SIG 600 lying idle in the treasury. Col Cole
tried to explain matters and the contro-
yersy was at its height when Councilman
Bradley Ventured a question which drew
the chairman's wrath upon his own head.
The committee was authorized to secure
estimates and report at a called meeting.
II is estimated the work will cost about

government will soon inaugurate extensive
