Marriage, which has been the

wilderness. II is still the beginning

High Prices and Unrest


The high cost of living is creating
great unrest in many countries. Co.'S
ditions are becoming especially
grave in Germany, Austria Hungary
and France. German officials are
beco ming very anxious for the con
ing winter and especially for the cleo
ton Of the new Reichstsg which
will occur in January. Judging from
the by.elections recently held the So
cialists Radicals will carry every
thing before them.
A wireless message 10 the New
York Times OF October 80, says that
vast portion OF the population OF
Germany is hcngry and that food
already selling at unbeasd Of prices
is growing more and mole difficult
to obtain. Mass meetings are held
to ask for the repeal of duties on
food stuffs. In some instances, COM
panies and large firms, aud even the
Government itself, have met the in
creased RECRUITMENT oiliving BY grant
ing their employees bonuses in the
shape of half a months extra salary.
Similar conditions exist in most
other countries of Europe, as well
as in our own country. Because OF
the drought of last summer, that
prevailed in this and most European
countries. there is great shortage
of vegetables and forage crops and
food stuffs are higher than ever be-
fore and are expected to advance
much more before next sPrisg.
Ii has become evident that there
is a great disparity between the
prices received BY the producers and
those paid by consumers. This
means that there are too mAny mid
dle.men, too many grocers, butch
ers, druggists. etc. Too maHy live
ia cities and are living without re
turning full value to society, The

ten the evolutionary change il the
distribution of products thas, APP
parently has been long delayed. We
see no chance of improved industrial
conditions until the prices of food
lecline.
Cooperation is the Remedy
High authorizes, from President
Taft down, have said that to make
the cost OF living less burdensome
the concumer and producer must be
brought closer together.
Elimination OF the middemen asd
cooperation among both producers
aud consumers have been suggested
as ways to the end of ecoHonical
