ABOUT PRICES

The standard expression of advertisers a few years ago was Highest Quality at Lowest Prices.''
 Today they know and the public knows that such a claim is false and the expression is almost abandoned. The better quality product has always cost more than the inferior and al- ways will.

"The precedent Of its success In
choosing the right moment to join In
the Balkan imbroglio OF 1919 would
seem to have considerable influence
In prompting Roumania's waiting
policy in the present instance. This
country remained aloof in the first
Balkan war (1912). During the sec
ond war, when Bulgaria. Serbia and
Greece were fighting over the spoils
which had been wrested from the
Turks in the previous struggle, Rou-
mania again remained an unintercst-
ed hvstander until the closing days
OF the conflict; then It threw Its
weight with Greece and Serbia In
time to demand as its reward the
valuable strip of Bulgarian territory
lying north and east Of Il line drawn
between Turtukai and Baltchik, in
the Dobrudjn region, between the
Danube and the Black sea. Tho
prize added some 1900 square miles
to its area.
"If. as is reported. Russia has
promised the big Balkan state the
Importance province of Bossarabla,
which adjolns 1t on the northeast,
1900 square miles will be added to
Roumanian domains, together with
two and half million kindred peo-
pie. In addition to this tempting
spoil of diplomacy, II Is highly prob
able that the Roumanians will expect
BukOwina as their share OF the
'parings' in the event the Central
powers are defeated, for this Aus
trlar crown-land was part Of the
Roumanian province of Moldavia up

propriated by the larger nation.
Roumaninns still comprise large

As Shown by Facts Brought
Out by the National Geo.
graphic Society.


WASHINGTON. Sept. What
weight Roumania will throw into the
scales OF war in behalf OF the Entente
Allies is suggested in the following
war geography bulletin issued today
BY the National Geographic Society
on the resources Of this the largest
Of the Balkan nations:
with a field army Of 100000
men, thoroughly trained and fully
equipped, and with reserve force
Of at least 100000 additional fight
ing men, Roumania's late entrance
npon the great battlefield of Europe
will inevitably have great weight.
But OF equal or perhaps even greater
importance to the Allies would be the
fact that with this country's declara-
lion of war against the Central pow
ers its highways and its railway sys-
TENS could be used In moving an un-
limited number of Russian soldiers
10 the northern frontier of Bulgaria.
and the southeastern gateways into
Hungary.
"In the present struggle 1t has
been easier on many occasions to Sc
cure men for the fighting line than
10 control the facilities for transport
ing them and to find the necessary
food for them after their arrival in
the trenches. Roumania possesses
the means to solve in part both these
problems.
with an area about equal that Of
the state Of Arkansas. but with a
population nearly five times as great,
Roumania is essentially an agricul-
turai country. producing vastly more
wheat in 1915 than Bulgaria. Serbia
Greece and Montenegro combined.
Its crop last year (S9.000.000 bush
iels) equaled the joint production OF
,pur two fertile wheat states, Mime
..sota and Iowa. The yield OF barley.
'rorn, oats and rye is also large, and
Euring the two years of war the
country has waxed rich playing the
role of an Egyptian Joseph to starv-
Ing nations-the well-paying Central
powers.
Before the war the value of Rou-
mania's grain exports exceeded
800, 100000 annually, and second

was petroleum, valued at nearly 49,

sustained, such fees are TO be refund
