ONE CAUSE OF HIGH COST.

The man who dwells in the city has
often himself to thank if he pays two
prices" for the things he eats. In the
old fashioned days when living was
cheaper people bought in larger guam
titles. Potatoes were bought at whole
sale and stored away in the cellar.
Other vegetables were bought by the
bushel and also stored where they
would keep.
Nowadays, however, most of the
goods consumed in the city are bought
in little dabs and the retailer who sells
them, and who has grown up in re-
Spouse to that demand for goods in
small quantities, must charge much
more for the small quantities than he
would ask for goods by the bushel. He
must hire a larger force of men, so to
the expense Of keeping delivery rigs
n be ready to deliver goods several
blocks at a few minutes notice. This
service costs money. If the mar who
deplores the high cost Of living wants
to try it, he can probably live a great
deal cheaper by buying his goods
wholesale n keeping them stored.
: Discussing this The MINNEAPOLIS
Tribune says:
In The Public Pulse a local market
master puts his finger upon one of the
chief aus Of irritation in buying
from the market gardener. 1T is
hardly fair" says he, ito pick out of a
bushel of cucumbers, tomatoes or mel
ons, a single dozen Of the very Choic-
est and fhpn 1Ynnpf IN Inv Thorn 1+ +ho,

not stop to consider the expense and
patient toll each dainty parcel repre-
sents, but the producer must keep this
important fact ever in mind, or 90
down to utter failure before the end
of the first crop year"
Here, in rather a homely way. we
have exposed one of the roots upon
which prices have been so high. VIC
are package buyers. We have organ
lied our trade in produce Upon an al
together new and generally more eX-
pensive plan. The market gardener
who completes with great cold storage
centers must meet the great shipper
with packages no less inviting and no
less expensive.
Plain 1t is that no creamery can pro-
vide three distinct wrappings for it's
butter and not make the customer nav
for them. That fruit cannot be pro-
tected by separate COVERINGS Of tissue,
vegetables trimmed and washed, meats
cleared of bone and gristle, unless
someone pays for the operation. In
what might be termed bulk commodf-
ties we keep no track of the size of
packages. Under our very noses thew
have grown steadily smaller and
smaller.
Regulation will eventually ston as
much Of this shrinkage as smacks of
fraud. But regulation is always Who'll

from he steady advance in prices cit
ed by the market master Until more Of

land, Charles A. Ballinger and the First
National bank of Bisbee, a corpora
ton, respondents. y
Defendant b sold certain land to
plaintiff or the crop contract plan.
Plaintiff assigned his contract to the
defendant bank as security for a $500
loan. Defendant 3 sold the land to
defendant E subject to the said con-
tract. E served notice Of forfeiture
for failure to deliver one-half of the
crops and to pay the taxes according
to said contract. Plaintiff brings this
action for specific performance, al
leging hat he has paid both the bank
and defendant E all hat he owes
them. Held:
/. That an examination of the evil
dence shows h a certain credits due
to plaintiff from defendant B were APP
piled by agreement Of parties upon
other Indebtedness, and that PLAINTIFF
has paid upon this contract only the
sum of sos {. Further foundsthat he had
failed to deliver any part of the crop
Of 1908, and had failed to pay the 1907
and 1908 taxes upon the land. Under
those circumstances he was in de-
fault.
2. Defendant B had repeatedly urg-

crop but the plaintiff had, through
promises and excuses, managed to de
Hay the actual delivery of the grain
until the following spring, at which
time notice of cancellation OF the con-
tract was served. After the service OF
said notice plaintiff did nothing to re-
lieve the default for thirty days or at
all, and has never deposited any sum
Whatever to cover said Indebtedness.
Held, that under the circumstances OF
this case, defendants have not, as a
matter Of law. waived their right to
cancel the contract.

II COST OF A

- III IN no other way, war sooner or
later must end because the ever grow
Ing burden Of it's cost will presently
become too great for the world TO
bear
Already it is sc great that millions
of half-fed people the world over
sroan under it. And it gets heavier
every day. The mere cost of 'prepar-
edness' without reckoning at all the
cost Of actual warfare in blood and
tears n gold, is a staggering item.
In the pamphlet series of the World
Peace foundation is a table containing
the total military charge for one wear
the latest for which statistics are
available, in each of the principal civ
1llzed countries Of the world. Great
Britain and the continent contribute
$l,682,271,0O0 to the total. The United
States contributes $3.50, 086, coo. Onlv
three nations exceed this fgure-Ger-
many with 1884 900, Great Britain
with $34I820,000 and Russia with
$319,770,000. The grand total is more
than two billions and a quarter-S2-
263,332,0 900.
Estimating at two thousand dollars
the annual producing capacity of the
average adult worker, this wretched
business absorbs. the total wealth nro-
duced by 1,131,6 66 of the worlds best
workers.
Other millions of men in their
years of greatest productive capacity
are taken out of productive industries
and their strength and intelligence de-
voted to idleness in uniform.
What for? To what end?
The most plausible excuse for it is
that the best assurance of peace is an
ample armament.
Yet 1t is true of the nations as it
is OF many individuals that the posses
sion of firearms is a constant tempta
ton to use them. And it is no more
civilized for nations to go armed to the
teeth than it would be for doctors and
lawyers and grocers and butchers to
go about with a s~ix-shooter in each
hip pocket and a bowie knife in each
boot--and it is no greater assurance
of peace. As David Starr Jordan put
it,, in his address in Fargo last SUNDAY
ssif no one is loaded no one will ex-
plode.''
Peace would be surer il this time of
armament did not cost the world a
dollar except for international polio

Hiram Bingham in The Atlantic:
Germany is getting around the Mon
roe doctrine, and is actually making
peaceful conquest of South America
which Will injure us just as much as
il We had allowed her to make a mil
itary conquest of the southern repub-
lies. She is winning South American
friendship. She has planted colonies,
one of which in southern Brazil, has
$50, 900 people in it, as large a popu-
lation as that of Vermont, and nearly
as large as that Of Montana. Ger
many is taking pains to educate her
young business men in the Spanish
language, and to send them out
equipped to capture Spanish American
trade. We have a saying that Trade
follows the flag. Germany has mag
steamers, flying the German
flag, giving fortnightly service to ev-
cry important port in South America
ports where the American flag is
practically eve seen. She has her
banks n business houses which have
branches in the interior cities. BY
their means she is able to keep track
Of American commerce, to know what
We are doing, and at what rates.
Laughing in her sleeve at the Monroe
doctrine as an a~ntiquated policy,
which only makes il easier for her to
do a safe business, Germany is en-
aged in the peaceful e~onquest3of Span
ish America.
