tion day ia Lewes. and when the polls
opened this afternoon there were in
dications of a contest involving the

lished on the beach 'front.' one being
owned by Lewes residents, while NJ
Lcwes residents are in the other Coz
pany Both pay big dividend returns
and It is said they will pay fifty per
cent. on the investment Recently
New York syndicate applied for lease
of sou feet of beach front for fish
factory site II. c. Sickler heads thi
syndicate. They offer to pay $1,000

FARMER GETS LESS, BUT
He Has to Pay More for What he
Doesn't Raise.

The U. s. Department of Agriculture
has just announced that notwithstand-
ing the increased cost OF living among
the people as a whole there was a
greater decline In the prices paid to
farmers from Aug. l to Sept. this
year than there was last year.
The average farm prices of the i'm.
portant crops (corn, wheat, oats, bar
ley, rye, flaxseed, potatoes, tobacco,
cotton and hay, which represent
about three-fourths of the value of all
the country's crops) declined 7 per
cent. during the month, while In that
time last year they declined in price
only "A per cent, and during the last
four years the decline in price aver
aged 3.S per cent. The average OF
farm prices on Sept 1 was 2S per
cent. lower than on that date last
year.
Prices paid to farmers on Sept. /
this year, with comparison OF prices
paid on the same date last year, fol-
low:

TRUTH ABOUT THE TRUST
Expected Economics from Combina-
ton" Do Not MateriaIize.
(Louis D. Brandeis in Colller's.)

(Louis ID. Brandeis in Colller's.)
Leaders Of the new Third Term
party argue that Industrial monopo-
lies should be legallzed, lest we lose
the efficiency of large-scale production
and distribution No argument could
be more misleading.
1t may be safely asserted that in
America there is no line OF business
In which all or most concerns or
plants must be concentrated In order
to attain the size of greatest eff
cheney. For while business may be
too small to be efficient, efficiency does
not grow indefinitely with increasing
size. What the most efficient size is
can be learned definitely only by ex-
perience. The unit of greatest eff
cheney Is reached when the disadvan-
tages OF size counterbalance the ad-
vantages. The unit Of greatest eff
cheney is exceeded when the disad-
vantages of size outweigh the advan-
tages. The history of American trusts
makes this clear That history shows:
First-No conspicuous American
trust owes its existence to the desire
for increased efficiency. Expected
economies from combination" figure
largely in promoters prospectuses;
but they have never been compel
ing motive in the formation of any
trust. On the contrary, the purpose of
combining has often been to curb eff
cheney or even to preserve ineffl-
cheney, thus frustrating the natural
law of the survival of the fittest.
Second-No conspicuously profita-
BILE trust owes its profits largely to
superior efficiency Some trusts have
been very efficient as have some in
dependent concerns; but conspicuous
profits have been secured mainly
through control OF the market
through the power of monopoly to fix
prices-through this exercise of the
taxing power
Third-No conspicuous trust has
been efficient enough to maintain long
as against the Independents its pro
portion OF the business OF the country
without continuing to buy up, from
time to time, its successful competi.

Thslr Proper place.

The folks who are perpetually pro-
testing that their consciences are
clear and that they have nothing for
which to reproach themselves are gen
orally in a bad way, for the probabll-
ity Is that their much.vaunted CON
sciences have stopped working and
are of no further use. Such people
never allow that they are in the
wrong; their favorite sentence is, Il
told you sol" and their proper place
is on a desert island with thick.
skinned turtles for boon companions.
