A SWAT FOR COST OFLIyING

It's a long road without a turn, in
deed. Since the beginning of the
European war prices of almost every
thing on sale in this country has ad
va1ced, and the advances have been
a. triouted generally to the conflict on
the other side of the Atlantic. But
along comes the news of prospects of
an actual decrease in the price ,,f one
commodity, and wonderful to relate,
on account of this same war. You
don't believe it? Well, it's so. never
theless. The price of canned lobsUer
may hit the toboggaH. Some time ago
the French government placed an en-
barge on the Importation of canned
lobster into France. Fully one-fourth
of Nova Scotia's canned lobster pack,
AMI it's a big one, has been going TIC
France. The Canadian lobster can
ners are looking to the United States
to absorb this portion of their output
that France has been taking. But they
fear that this cannot be done without
materially lowering present prices.
Too bad for the Canadian lobster men,
isn't it? But think of the joy that
cheaper canned lobster will bring to
the multitudes in these United states.
