Concentration
I'd ID Washington Herald:

Editor The Washington Herald
VIII Ella Wheeler Wilcox ever cease
recommending the efficacy Of "concentra-
tion?" This sweet poetess has had such
frequent recurrence to that idea in her
newspaper essays within the past half
dozen years as to tire US when we now
read for about the one hundredth and
forty-ninth time her advice to "concen-
trate," written with the emphasis and
zeal she employed when she first advised
us on that score. We have long realized
the potency OF concentration" as a fac
tor in achievement, and Mrs. Wilcox is
right, Of course. But. please, we are sus-
ceptible and We are surfelted, and ex-
cuse her from further repetition Of her
homily on that faculty. However. we
will have some more OF those poems OF
passion" please, II the heart Of one
grown old in years can vibrate that chord
again-some in the strain Of Not Quite

Cause of High Prices.

Editor The Washington Herald:
For the past year complaints have been
made against the exorbitant prices people
have been compelled 10 pay for living
material. Committees were appointed by
Congress TO investigate the matter and
ascertain the causes and fix the respon-
sibility. Thousands OF dollars were ex-
pended. reports and interviews we're pub
nshed, and a vast amount OF theorizing
was INDUCED. but all without practical
results. High rates and complaints con-
tinue-
A case OF real merit has Just come to
my attention. 1t was mentioned by a
prominent real estate man OF undoubted
integrity. and is vouched for by him as
real and having occurred within the last
few days. II illustrates the secret OF
this whole affair, and shows what the
Master said is true. viz: "Ye cannot
serve God and mammon." Realizing the
truth OF this declaration. people have
ceased TO serve God and are giving their
undivided loyalty 70 'mammon." In
other words. their whole zeal and efforts
are devoted 70 the getting OF the al
mighty dollar"
But TO the story A farmer in one Of
the nearby counties Of Maryland raised
a large crop Of cantaloupes. His whole
effort was concentrated in producing a
fine yield. He finally sent his product to
a commission merchant in Washington,
expecting TO reap a handsome margin.
Imagine his surprise and modification
on receiving a notice from the merchant
that the market was overstocked and the
melons could not be sold. A remittance
was received by the farmer at the rate
Of cent apiece. less the charges.
Not content with the returns. the
farmer sent to the store a special agent
20 investigate The man found the same
melons for which I cent. less expenses.
was paid and inquired their price.
Single melons. Is cents. or, II taken by
the quantity, 121s cents apiece"
This is the case. The outrage IS not
chargeable TO the tariff OF a depleted
currency, but is a specimen OF dishonesty
and robbery. pure and simple. That is
the simple explanation.
