that they could reduce their cost of
living a good bit. For instance,
bought this pair of shoes 1 am wear

yard where the rents are low. If I
had got the same shoe up on Penn
sylvania avenue, or F street, where the
more aristocratic do their buying,
would have paid IS or $3.50 for it. The

THE cost of milk has climbed
steadily during the last few years be-
cause the people insist on more style

to them. 1 am a practical dairyman

In the old days there were no bottles,
no pretty wagons, no tuberculin tests
to be paid for. The milk was deliv-
cred from door TO door by the man

large cans or buckets. Now the milk
man has a 5000 horse, a $3.50 or 5000
wagon, a S75 set of harness on the
horse, and stables and aseptic cans,

the barn in order to make room for

washington.-"Too much style is
responsible for the increased cost of
living" said Representative w. W.
Cocks. Of New York, friend and
neighbor CT ex-President Roosevelt.
Thirty or forty years ago we did
not eat less than We do now as some
people are trying to prove, but we put
on less style. Style is all right for
those that want it. l have no fault
to find with II at all, but l wish TO
remark that 1t comes high and must
be paid for. This increase in style,
dog, show, display. or whatever you
want to call it, extends from the top
TO the bottom of the scale Of life.
Now as an illustration, l have a
Pole working for me on my place

children. The other day I met the

place-on a weekday too, mind you

I am glad he feels that he can af-
ford all these things, but in the old
days they were not purchased by the
people Of limited means. The chill
dren. instead Of wearing patent
feathers, went barefoot in the sum-
mer and in the winter wore heavy,
serviceable cowhide shoes that would
last them for years. Only the very
well to do thought they could have
pianos. and a SIS or $40 stove was
good enough for almost anyone's

I went after my purchases. Now the
customer of the grocer or the butch
er or the baker insists on having his
pound Of butter, his mutton chops or
his loaf Of bread delivered at his
door. The dealer must charge for
his horse. his wagon, his harness. and
his deliveryman Someone must pay
the bill. and Of course 1t comes out OF
the goods-the customer that gets the
benefit of the extra service Is the one
that should stand for 1t, and he does

industry of comparatively recent origin, stir

character of a people in terms of music. What
this means to national personality what it holds

Why England Mourns.

The very evident restraint with which the
people of London received ex-President Roose-
welt again calls attention to difference exist
ing across seas, which we Of America might do
worse than to cultivate and emulate.
Ordinary taste would of course have pre-
vented in the welcome of a distinguished Ameri-
can coming in the capacity of special Ambassa-
dor to the funeral of the sovereign that charac-
ter of enthusiasm which would have followed
upon England's greeting had he appeared in his
usual capacity of world-heir of all human knowl-
edge and activity. AT the same time the silence
of the crowds, the quiet lifting Of hats in lieu
+ of cheers testified to something more sincere
than the mere promptings of good breeding.
1t is not the least of the ultimate glory of the
comon crowd that it is not well bred The Eng
lish commonalty is exceptionally not So With all
of their veneration for Lord the English peo-
pile have not only steadily preserved but steadily
enlarged the measure of their democracy. They
have not hesitated to cry out against Kings. T.
fight them, and to force them to their will.
And yet along with their independence, they
have retained a deep seated veneration for their
rulers personally, the popular representative
of the popular will. Their rulers are of their
own will and at their sufferance. Seemingly in
recognition of this fact, the English in all the
tumult of strenuous politics hold toward their
King spirit of national courtesy that is OF
the very essence of chivalry. And for a King
that is dead they mourn with unanimity and
sincerity that goes deeper and rings truer than
any pomp Of display. As the hush of voiceless
feeling settles upon bereaved household so in
England the passing Of King brings to the
nation the quiet contemplation of loss of that
