PRICE CUTTER.

In this day OF agitati on against the
legitimate retailer and the various
remedies that have arisen to lower the
cost OF living, it occurs to the writer
that the only solution looking to reduc-
ing the cost of living, is to induce
the average consumer to discontinue
aping the rich, or in other words, to
lower his standard of living, each class
living within their means.
OF the various theories and prac-
tees which have been advanced to
lower the living cost, it seems to US
that the most harmful, fruitless and
unjust, is the price cutter. In all lines
OF business and on all occasions the
price cutter is business demoralizer
and does more harm to the world than
good, because such a business man
cannot long exist. When the price
cutter is forced out of business by his
own system of doing business. the
consuming public must naturally lool
to and 60 to the conservative man who
knows that profit in business is ne
cessary. The result Is, the elemen
which patronlzed the price cutter
imaglnes that exorbitant prices are
demanded by the man who continued
The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1912-01-12

on his way doing legitimate business
at reasonable profit.
The price cutter will probably al.
ways be among the trade, and busl-
ness men generally feel sorry for him
knowing what his fate will be in the
end. Sometimes the price cutter dis.
covers his mistake before it is too late,
and thus saves himself from sure fin,
ancial ruin. But what about the man
who cuts prices without fear of ''going
broke? Such man is dangerous
enemy to legitimate business, and
what are merchants going to do with
him?
What will we call man who en-.
cages in business for few days and
slashes prices right and left? He
knows he is not in the business to
make living and is in no way de.
pendent upont he success of his en-.
beavers to feed and care for his
family. He does not procure stock
from which to make anything, aud
the question naturally arises what is
his object? 1t is blessing to bust.
ness men and communities generally
that there are few men of this stripe.
Suppose, for instance, every man
who had money and the inclination,
were to engage in business for few
days with certain amount of stock
to dispose of at prices that could not
be met by men engaged in business
out of which they are trying to make
a living. What would be the out
come? To say nothing of the effect
on legitimate business. would it really
lower the cost of living permanently
or would it be only temporary?
Is there any excuse tor the idle rict
to compete with the man who is tryins
to makean honest living out of hi
business simply because he has thu

JUST ONE.

If one extra potato we're added to
each plant grown in the United States
the actual increase in the annual yield
of the crop would amount to $1,000,
600 bushels. The figure is given in

Their Improvement" dy Prof. F. B.
Linfeld of the Montana agricultural
college, and published by the Inter
national Dry-Farming Congress in its
annual handbook.
"If one extra kernel we're added to
each head of oats, barley, wheat or
ear of corn" saws Prof. Linheld, "we
would have of oats, 20,O00,OO0 bushels
extra; of barley, Is. 00C, OO0,bushels ex'
ira; of wheat 100000 bushels ex

for all time, this slight increase in the

DEATHBED SCENES.

And the Question OF ProIonslng Life to
Its Utmost Limit.
Even the lengthening Of mans life
by q day may make death easier BY
giving him the opportunity Of soothing
q guilty conscience. Of signing will.
Of redressing an injustice. of healing
breach Of friendship the memory OF
which might imbitter another life. of
saying farewell to son or daughter
who had come in haste from a great
distance Any one who has seen death
beds knows how anxieties Of this sort
may darken the last hours and how
their removal may reconcile the suffer
err to death. 1t seems to US that this
talk Of the right to die and the wrong
doing of doctors in seeking to prolong
life that Is hanging by thread
springs from the unwholesome senti-
mentalism and the inevitable accom-
paniment of seltishness which are
among the unhappy notes Of the pres
ent time.
To the older writer's the death agony
was the final struggle Of the soul leav-
ing the body. and by a confusion Of
thought due to the acquired meaning
Of the word 1t has come TO he general
| ly believed that the parting of the spir-
itual from the material part of man Is
painful. Those whose lot it has been
to stand at many deathbeds know that
this is not the case. Sir William Osler
says that he has careful records Of
about 600 deathbeds, studied particu-
larly with reference to the modes of
dying and the sensations Of the dying.
OF these ninety suffered bodily pain or
distress Of ono sort or another, eleven
showed mental apprehension, two pos
