seems no leisure for the many things we
would enjoy. We hurry even in our pleas

seems to me we lose, in our hurry, much that

The Higher Cost

The comic song writer who parod
led the much talked Of higher cost
of things attempts to make light Of
a very serious matter. He says:
THE high cost of living
Is only a joke
It's the high cost of loving
That's keeping me broke"
True, the cost of loving may come
high. but man nor maid ever counts
such cost. In business life. however.
the seriousness of modern prices is
very impressive-and it is no joke.
The public would be surprised, as
publishers and printers have been, to
know OF the increased cost and un.
certainties connected with so com.
mon a commodity as paper. station.
airy, binding material, inks. etc-in
fact all of the material used in pro.
ducing newspapers and printed mat.
ter. The prices of this class of goods
have been raised from so to lbs per
cent, and travelling men now only
accept orders subject to daily price
change of their wholesale houses.
Other business men are having the
same experience in lines of staple
goods that had held very close to a
regular price for many years.
And there is no desire on the part
of the honest dealer to take advan.
tage of customers in an increased
price of goods. He simply has tc
protect himself against the increased
cost of the articles he handles.
