The Hioh Cost Of LIVING.

The American people are not COM
planning about the high cost of the
products grown on the farm. but they
do think it is unfair to enable trusts
to charge two prices for the necessi-

ing man has to buy has almost dou-
bled in price in the past ten years
and his wages have not increased in
proportion. The blessings of prosper
ity are not shared by the rank and

There is no evidence to show that
Robin Hood was ever anything more
than a mere creation Of the popular
Imagination Of the time. Robin Hood
was the creation of the nascent
democracy Of the age. which took that
way Of voicing its Indignation at the
high-handed way In which the privl-
legged classes were depressing the
masses of the people. Robin Hood
was the personification OF the wild
justice which waylaid and robbed the
