there's the recent case of Commercial

chance, Mr.. Veditz went down to
Madrid and saw the King about it.
Their talk lasted an hour and five
minutes. Interviews between Kings
and representatives of our foreign
services of course are sealed for all
time from public eyes and ears. In
substance it appears, however, that
the KING admitted that Welsh coal
had risen beyond all reason in price
and was getting very scarce in Spain.
He would be delighted to obtain
American coal on better terms-but
if ships brought coal from the U. s.
to Spain, couldn't they take something
else from Spain back to the United
States. Being a very business-like
young King, he was interested to know
where Spain would get off in the deal.
Spain raises oranges galore what
about selling Spanish oranges to
Americas teeming millions?
Thereupon, as the story is whisper
ed about, Mr.. Veditz very tactfully
submitted that more and better or
anges ARE raised in the U. S. A. than
anywhere else in the world and that
he was very regretfully forced to the
admission that, much as he desired
otherwise, there could be nothing do

A few strokes of the kingly pen
wiped out the transportation tax
and we are now selling coal to Spain
to beat the band.

LITCHFIELD COUNTY NEWS
Proposed Trolley Line

At the meeting of the TorriRgton
Chamber of Commerce Thursday
night, Guion Thompson of Waterbury,
representing the A. J. Patton Co., gave
an interesting talk on the plans for
construction of the trolley line from
Torrington to Waterbury, by way of
Litchf1eld. Bantam. Morris and Wa
tertown. The Litchfie1d County Co.
holds the charter for building this
road and out Of town capital has been
interested, which practically assures
it's construction. Mr.. Thompson said
the line would be % miles long and
would cost probably a million dollars
to build and equip. The estimated
earnings would be $4,000 annually.
The running time to Waterbury would
be one and one-ha1f hours, and the
fare to Waterbury will be 55 cents, to
rWatertown, As, and to Latchfield, 8
cents. The winter schedule would call
for the running of cars every hour,
with half-h curly cars in summer. The
estimated expense Of operation, aside
from interest on investment, is figured
at 16 cents a mile for each ear. A
unanimous vote endorsing the PROPOSE
ton was passed by the chamber.

THE HIGH WAR PRICES.

A farm supply dealer serving a
rural district was telling the other day
about advances in prices, and specu-
lating as to who were getting rich out
of it. He told as an illustration the
experience of his own concern with
dynamite. Before the war, they
bought it for 10 cents. Now they
paid 80 for the same article.
Early in the war, they had stocked
up heavily at 13 cents. They con-
tented themselves with advancing the
retail price to only 20 cents. They
felt justified in asking this. as in
many lines, they expected to meet
losses on depreciation of values after
the war.
This is a. typical illustration of how
the store located near home, depen-
dent on the nearby community,
tends to keep prices steady and keep
out of speculation. But there are
many firms who distribute goods over
a wide area, that would not question
a moment about putting their dyna-
mite up to 35 cents, even had they
had it on hand at old prices They
take advantage of all fluctuations.
Some big fortunes will result from the
war in this way.
The firm that protects its custom
ers may not be philanthropic, but
simply is looking at business in a big
ger way. Inc dealer ABOVE referred
to said, that by keeping the price of
dynamite fairly low, they pleased
their trade, and did one more thing
to build up a loyal patronage. Fur
thermore, had they jumped the price,
the result would have been to check
the use of dynamite. Farmers had
just begun to buy it extensively for
breaking up rough land, and a high
er price would have stopped this in
a large measure. He believed they
would sell more dynamite in five
years by keeping prices moderate.
But there are some business men
who don't see a point like that, Per-
haps it might apply even in the mat
ter of the present high cost of gaso-
line. It is a general rule that the
public does not like to buy articles
subject to large fluctuations, and that
where prices go up very high, SUBJ
stitutes are found.
