DENIES GROCERS HAVE TRUST
Harry Fischer, Secretary of the Asso-
citation, Explains Prices.
ADMITS THEY ARE VERY HIGH
Puts All the Blame on the Numerous
MiddIemea who Handle the
Goods Before the GrOcerE
Get Them.

In regard TO the report emanating from
Des Moines that Omaha prices on food
stuffs were considerably lower than in
Des Moines on account of the absence OF
a grocers' trust. and 10 the story coming
from a local independent dealer here who
says that prices here are just as high IN
the majority Of stores as they are in Des
Moines, and that there Is a grocers' as
ISOLATION here which has q mutual agree
ment to hold UP prices on all commodities.
Harry Fischer. secretary OF the Omaha
Retail Grocers' association. says that both
reports were absolutely without founda-
ton.
Prices here are high, but 1t is not be-
cause of a grocers' trust, but because Of
the high prices made the smaller groeers
by commission men. gardeners and whole
salers," said Mr.. Fischer. Instead Of
grocers in Omaha making money hand over
fist, 1 will venture TO say that there are
at least fifty grocers in Omaha who would
gladly get out OF the business II they could
do so without loss.
Large concerns here who run grocery
stores in connection with other depart
ments, can afford to undersell other gro
Gerry stores. because it attracts business TO
other departments. where. what should
ordinarily be realized on groceries is more
than made up on clothing. etc.
Groceries and provisions are In most
cases perishable commodities. and the
dealer must figure TO a great extent on
this as well as rent, his own wages, at
least a per cent profit on his money in
vested, depreciation in his wagons, etc.
Then there Is the customer who always
handles everything in the store. TO the
damage of the thing handled. and the
customer who runs up a bill and moves
out OF town All of these things help to
boost the price of goods in a grocery store,
and II a grocer buys q crate OF cherries
for s. he must sell them for at least SIS
even II he is getting what seems 10 be a
% per cent profit. In order TO break even.
In nine cases out OF ten. in Omaha or any
other city, the smaller grocers scarcely
make enough 70 exist on. and the longer
they are in the business, the worse off
they get
Reports have It that there has been
a large vegetable crop this year. This is
untrue. The vegetable crop from the part
OF the country where much is raised, is
almost entirely purchased by some big
shipping association every year. which
peddles II out all over the country to
grocers and wholesalers. BY the time the
growers. the shippers and the wholesalers
profits are added TO the original cost Of
the commodity. there Is nothing else left
for the grocer TO do but TO add his mite
TO II and sell IT the best he can. 1t is the
middlemen who make the profits
Department stores make lower prices
than most grocers can for the reason
gave, and also because as they have I'M
limited capital, they buy in great lots and
save money IN this way"

of several of that party who affirm that

Speaking on the matter today one Of the
leading democrats asserted that the Met

make matters more complex, would tend
to take votes away from me three an

dates. In addition he would get practically
ali Of the dry votes In the democratic
column and votes that naturally would go
to the other men. The remainder of the
vote would be. so divided that none, I be-
lieve. would have sufficient votes to over
come Metcalfe's lead"
Other democrats assert that the patching
up Of recent fractional differences might
preclude Metcalfe's candidacy and his en-
trance into the race would tend 20 let down
the bars which were put up Tuesday at
the Fremont convention.

1t would be a difficult task indeed to
epitomize in one type the kind of woman
that women like. For, not only do the
needs of different individuals vary, but a
woman's choice of friends changes with the
phases of her own development. There are
in woman's nature, two distinct elements,
one or the other of which is apt at some
time, TO determine the sort of friend she
chooses. These are the dependent or i'm
mature, and the protective or maternal.
Dependence belongs naturally to youth,
though it may exist later in unequal friend
