There'sl:a Difference in
Fabrics.
1t is possibleIyou have been told that
there is no difference in fabrics that
all dealers have to go to market and
make heir selection from thesame lines
To certain extent this is true, but
in some few cases it is not Anyone
who looks at the <ssPALMER GAR
MENT' will be impressed with the
different tone, the uncommonness, the
smartness of fabrics. Probably no one
goes to the trouble we do, to select
fabrics which show up to the best ad-
vantage in certain models. You cam
not realize what a difference fabric
makes, unless you see the models. We
extend you this privilege, whether or
not you buy.

BAD INFLUENCE IS CLAIMED

Berlin, Oct. 25.-Chess editors in
Germany declare that the game of
chess has been commercialized under
American influences and they claim a
striking illustration of this in the
match for the championship Of the
world that has just been arranged be-
tween DR.. Emanuel Lasker, who lived
some a in New York, and Akiba
R~ubinstein, the foremost player of
Russia.
According to the financial plans for
the match it is expected that the two
players will divide nearly $4,000 be-
tween them. DR.. Lasker Is now COR
responding with some of the principal
German chess clubs, soliciting their CO.
operation. He offers to have three
games played in the DOM of any club
that will contribute about 81, 500 in re-
turn for this honor.
German writer's contrast the Lasker-
Rubinstein match with the one played
at Paris in 1858 between Paul Morphy
and Adolf Anderson, the German
champion of that day. Anderson, who
was professor in a preparatory school
at Breslau, was willing to rush to
Paris during his brief Christmas holi-
days to play eleven games with Nor
ply, although there vas no money
staked on either side. On the other
hand, Lasker and Rubinstein will have
nearly a year to prepare for their great
struggle, and 1t will last for three
months.

GOODYEAR" WON
BALLOON RACE

Washington, Oct. 25.-"Col. Samuel
Reber, head Of the government signal
corps at Washington, and in charge or
the ~aeronautical department., predict
ed twelve hours before the official word
was received, that the balloon Good
a would win," said E. r Preston,
president of the Goodyear. Aero club,
OF his return from a visit to New York,
where he had interviewed the colonel.
HE is the best posted man on aero
nautics in the country" continued Mr..
Preston, "and when he predicts the
result of a race, Or in fact anything
pertaining to aeronautics, it Invariably
turns out that a
when Colonel Reber was informed
that the Goodyear was thought to be
lost, as it had been seen drifting out
to sea, he remarked that the boys
would win. He was familiar with the
air currents and knew that Epson was
equally as we'll posted. IF they keep
going said Colonel Reber. they will
will carry them safely back owe the
British isles He predicted they
would land somewhere in northern
England, which proved to be the case.
Colonel was more than enthused
when the glad news was received that
America had won the race. He could
not say enough for the scientific man
ner in. which Upson and Preston had
handled the balloon, and furthermore,
commended the Goodyear Tire & Rub
Der Co. on the excellent quality Of
workmanship and material that was
in the balloon. The gas tightness of
the fabric played an important part,
according to the colonel" ~.

ent economic situation. The great
masses Of city dwellers and those who
do not produce crops fare the worst.
They must buy the farmers wares at
top prices and their wages have not
kept abreast Of the increase in living.
The farmer, however, is getting on
the average "a per cent more for his
goods than he did ten years and
what he buys costs him only II per
cent more. These two facts, I believe,
are a more telling back to the farm
argument than all the commissions, re-
ports and addresses On the charms of
living on a farm. 1t is no wonder that
he is optimistic and prosperous"
DR.. Durand had a good word to say
for the much malinged middle-man. He
said that though there were cases in
which the middle-men were getting an
excess in most cases the increase Of
price had gone directly into the pock-
cts Of the producer. He gave grains
and meats as instances in which the
men between had been blamed for in
creases for which they were not re-
sponsible. Anyway, he said. reducing
the share of the middle-man would
never solve the problem.

HIGH COST OF
LIVING GOES UP

Minneapolis Tribune: Further in
crease in the high cost of living with

by E. Dana Durand, formerly director
Of the federal census. in an address
last night before the Minnesota Lii
brary association in session at the
university. DR.. Durand talked on
Population and Food Supply, drawing
his conclusions from the last census.
1t was his first public address since
joining the faculty of the Univerity
of Minnesota.
"Wage-earners and salaried work.
ers may expect a growing disparity
must buy with them," he said. "They
will likely find their compensation go
ing up less rapidly than the prices of
what they buy. The reason is an
overproduction Of gold and a remark
able advance In the cost Of agricul-
tural products.
1--WE can hope for no easy and SIM
pie solution Of the problem" he con
tinued. "It is too fundamental. But
an increase in crop acreage more la
borers on the farm and intensive
methods of agriculture will remedy
the most important factors in the
high cost of living. The principal fact
brought out by the recent census is
the disparity between agricultural
production and the increase in popu-
lation. Population has increased 81
per cent and crop production not
quite 10 per cent. Production is not
keeping pace with population, and If
that condition long continues we will

DR.. Durand. European countries pro-
duce twice as much to the acre as we
do. Denmark raises 40 bushels of
wheat to the acre and England SO
bushels, while our average is between
II and IA bushels. Minnesota. the best
wheat growing state, has a yield of
only a little more than II bushels to
the acre. We do not make practical
use of the advances in agricultural
science which are worked out by our
farm schools. Another factor in the
increase Of prices is the fact that the
average value Of American farms per
acre increased in ten years from SIS
to $32 an acre"
DR.. Durand quoted some interesting
census figures concerning the birth
rate. The increase, barring immigra-
ton, was IA per cent, rather less than
that Of Germany. Morality, however,
has decreased. Women are focking to
ten cities in greater numbers than
men and r in part responsible for
the increase of city population by 35
per cent, while the rural population.
increased only IL per cent. Contrary.
to general belief, said DR.. Durand,
marriages are made earlier now than
formerly.
