REGULATING FOOD PRICES.

will consider pins to take active hand in the mat.
Ter # regulating the price of foor sufs in this eoun-
ryprobaby is bit premature. When this announcement
does come in such way to indicate that business il.
meant there will be loud howl But it the only way
in which the high Of living problem will ever be at.
tackled in effective manner.
Prices for Of the most important staples like bread
potatoes and meats are cheaper on both sides of
the line Of trenches which run through Belgium and North
en France than they in this country The explana-
ton is that the stern hand Of authority has put the food
Speculation out Of business.
Washington dispatches say that the administration has
been assured by experts that way in which the govern
ment may control food prices be devised and also that
there will be trouble on the score of its legality Il is
easy to believe that The common law sanctions admin
atve acts of the far reaching character along that
line. There has been any difficulty making COM
mon law stand on the federal statutes.
And far the mddeman and the cold storage man,
who responsible for large percentage of the food
price exacon are concerned, they deserve no sympathy
and their legal standing is decidedly shaky They must
take what they get when they caught running up the
prices simply because they find themselves control Of an
unexpected monopoly because of general shortage of
supplies The greedy always have TO suffer in ono way or

LOCAL PROSPERITY.

USINESS is better in Fairmont than it was year

how much better. The statements of the two national
banks which were made for the condition of business

bon of the trend.
The deposits of these two banks show an increase
Of over 100000 since November 10. 1915. which was
the date for the call of the comptroller of the currency
last year. In the twelve months the total resources Of the
banks increased almost s450,000.
