High Prices VS.. Low Prices

Of High Prices--lhhy Are They setter

inss OF the world. as represented By
savings deposits. '.
Now, II high prices are such a bad
Thing for the people Of this country,
how does It happen that they are the
most prosperous people in the worlde
Now it seems that some people are
not satisfied with this state OF facts,
but want cheaper flour. These people
point to the fact that if the duty OF
81 per barrel was removed we could
get our flour from Canada for that
much less, likewise il the duty on
wheat was removed the Mineapolia
mills could grind the cheap Canadian
wheat. They would not have to buy
that raised at home. Would that be
best for our Fl:ckertail farmers?
Senator McCumber in speaking
against the drawback provisions OF
the tariff bill, as they relate to farm
products, particularly wheat, sad:
"A determined effort is being made
by the milling interests to have the
duty on wheat removed, the pretext
being that they were unable to get
home grown wheat sufficient to run
their mills; now as a matter OF fact,
the mills do not have sufficient capac-
ity to grind the wheat that is raised
at home. The whole purpose of this
agitation Is to have removed tn pro-
teccfve duty that enables the farmera
Of my state to earn living. Should
the protective duty on farm products
be removed, it would cause such de-
cline in prices that it would cause tho
ruin Of the farming industry, the
greatest single business and on the.
prosperity of which the entire coun-
try depends"

; Do low prices for farm products
and manufactured goods give the best
economic, results to q country? Do
tho people as q whole fare better in
low priced countries than do the
people IN q country of high prices?
BY what standard shall we deter
mine whether the people in one coun-
try are more prosperous than they
are in any other?
Do the deposits in the banks for
savings, give us a guide in solving the
problem as to whether we as a nation
are enjoying better financial condi-
tions tnan the people OF other

During the past-ten years there has
been a general advance in commodity
prices the world over. Countries
where labor conditions are such that
20 cents was considered fair days
wages, have been effected.
It is generally admitted that prices
are higher IN this country than else
where in the world. And the wealth
of the American is the subject of
talk and envy, among people OF for
eign nations. During the past ten
years foreign born people to the num-
Der of 10,e0O.OoO have left their homes
in low priced countries and eagerly
availed themselves of the opportunity
to live under Uncle Sans flag anG
pay high prices for everything they
eat and wear. Why do they do it?

three the thirteenth of next month,

Harmon, a trained nurse. is sixty-three
years younger than hef husband,
whom she met when she was sent
from the Presbyterian hospital to care
for his sister-in-law two years ago.
The wife will inherit his entire for
tune, as there we're no children from
his first marriage.
Tenahy has the greatest sensation
in its history, although village tongues
have been wagging ever since Miss
Harmon was retained as permanent
nurse In the Lyle household.
The marriage was almost an elope-
ment, for the pair went by automobile
to Yonkers to have the knot tied, with
out saying a word to anybody. Once
there they lost no time in seeking the
Office OF the city clerk, where they
asked for a marriage license.
The clerk smilingly recorded Lyle's
confession that he was ninety-three.
