Some stat1stician figures that $25O,- 100000 every year Is being diverted from the local merchants of this coun- try to the mail order concerns in the great cities.
 How much of that MONUMENTAL MOUND OF MONEY goes out of this continuity?
 Every dollar so spent helps to SWELL THE HEAP in the city that has no use for us except to get our GOOD MONEY.
 Every dollar mailed away helps to STRANGLE ENTERPRISE AND SCUTTLE PROSPERITY right here at home.
 When you strangle your neighbor you strangle yourself.

Letters From The People
CAUSE OF HIGH PRICES

Editor Call: The professors of eco
nomic science of all the great univer-
stiles agree that the increase in the
been the most effective cause in in
creasing the prices of the necessities of
life. Being something of a student of
such matters, the writer would add
word to what has already been said. 1t
seems to me that it might be correct to
say that the increase in the volume of
money has added a certain percentage
of increase of price to all commodities.
For example (but not stated as math-
ematiea1 fact), let us assume that all
prices have been increased so per cent
as compared with the prices of, say, 20
years ago. Accepting this for argu-
ment's sake, we find that some prices
have increased very much more than
so per cent, while others have not in
creased that much. This variation in
dfcates that other influences, aside from
the increase in the volume of money,
have been at work. For instance, the
price of wheat has increased much
more than SO per cent. This being the
fact, we must look about for other
causes.
Economic writer's everywhere agree
that wheat eating is extending and it
is figured that we are now nearing the
point where the wheat eaters demands
will exceed the wheat product of all
the wheat lands Of the world
Another thing: The railroads of the
United States are now hauling wheat
and other products to the sea board for
shipment abroad at one-half to one
third the rate of times of low prices.
Thus the domestic price of wheat can
not well go below the Liverpool mar
ket, with transportation costs added.
Examination of the prices of beef in
dicates that it has risen only about so
per cent, while wheat and corn have
risen 100 per cent. AS indicated, so
per cent of this rise in the price of
meat is due to the increased volume of
money. Then comes the question, rs
the remainder of the increase due to
natural or artificial causes-to in
creased use, or to trust made artificial
prices?"
The best way to determine this is TO
examine into the profits of the packers.
Statistics show that when the packers
sell dollars worth of the products of
their business they make on the aver
age about 3 cents. If this entire profit
were wiped out; If the packers were to
sell at cost, the reduction would not
amount to cent a pound on their prod
ucts. From this it will be seen that
the packers are not getting the in
crease in the price of meats.

Hobbies of a Clergyman

1t is we'll known that many clergy
throughout the country take an inter-
est in bell ringing. One of the most
famous campanologists of our time.
Rev. F. E. Robinson, until lately vicar
of Drayton. has just died at woking-
ham, says the Church Family newspa-
per.
The clergyman was a man of re-
markable energy, and in addition to
faithfully discharging his spiritual a. Z
ties he took up a number of hobbies.
He was an enthusiastic gardener and
an expert wood carver, some exquisite
examples of his work being placed in
Drayton church.
1t was as bell ringer he was chiefly
known. He used TO trudge all over the
country ringing bells. and in August,
1905, he rang his thousandth peal at
Drayton. He rang bells in over 800
towers, his first peal as a clergyman
being rung at St. Matthew's, Beth
nalgTeen in 1859.
The clergyman continued his bell
ringing efforts until 1908. at the con-
clusion of which year he had brought
the record UP to 1926 peals.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., Berkeley. What is
the much talked of and written about lmburger
cheese composed off,
1t is generally made from whole
milk, bslt sometimes skinned or partly
SKINNED milk is utilized. 1t is also
made with rennet in the usual way,
the milk being set at a rather high
temperature from 92 to 100 degrees
Fahrenheit. The curd is broken in
pieces the size of hens egg and al
lowed to settle in the bottom of the
kettle. 1t is then scooped out and
put into rectangular perforated boxes,
arranged on a table so they may drain
away. The molds are carefully turned
until the whey has nearly ceased rum
ming and the cheeses keep their form
Parsley, tarragon and onions, all
mashed to pulp, are usually mixed
with the curds before molding. The
cheeses are turned frequently at first
and then at longer intervals, till at the
end of several hours they may be
taken from the molds. They are then
salted by rubbing on the edge and fiat
sides for three or four days. They are
piled first in single layers, then two,
three or four deep, so that the absorp-
tion may be uniform. They are then
cured In a cool, we'll ventilated cellar
on shelves covered with fresh straw.
There the sailing is repeated and the
cheeses frequently turned, until at the
end of three or four months they are
ripe With the ripening they begin to
soften, the rind becoming first yellow,
then reddish yellow, while. the texture
of the cheese itself is soft and waxy.
The cheese is then wrapped in tin foil
to conceal its peculiar odor.
