There is no doubt but what the scar.
city of certain articles of commerce is
the cause of the high prices that are
asked for certain commodities and that
prices will continue to rise 80 long as the
European war lasts. Certain necessary
products are not to be had at any price
and we shall be compelled to adjust our
selves to present conditions. One is led
to believe that part of the talk about
the necessity of charging more for many
of the necessares of life is fictitious.
People are taking advantage Of the high
price cry and are using it for their own
benefit The story is told Of a merchant
in the early days charging five cents for
a sewing needle. When the customer
asked him if he did not think that was
a high price for a needle he retorted by
reminding him Of the freight charges.
We may be compelled to pay the price
for things we must have but by denying
ourselves of articles We can get along
without just as well prices will soon 90
back to their normal level. The prac-
tice of certain economics will not hurt
anyone. Brookings Register.

BRITAIN PREPARING
FOR HIGHER BREAD

Wheat Imports Expected to

LONDON, Sept. 9.-Never perhaps In
the worlds history has forthcoming
harvest been so eagerly and anxiously
looked forward to. Though an abundant
crop can make no such material differ
ence to Britain's prospects as is the
case in Germany. bourtiful crop
would certainly ease. the situation, for
the price OF bread may mean tho diff

Dearcr bread brings with II demands

At present instead of falling the price

Higher Prices Indicated.
Some experts consider that the price
10 likely to rise. One of the leading
grain dealers in the country. pointing
to this conclusion, said: what must be
borne In mind Is that, so far as Great
Britain. France. Italy. and Spain are
concerned. the wheat crops of Germany,
Austria Hungary. and Russia do not
count during the war. They are Off the
hap. Sc long as the Dardanelles are
closed we, cannot import wheat from
Russia. We have thus to consider,
from our, own point Of view not the
worlds wheat crop. but the crop avail
able for this country and for the other
importing countries Of Europe. The
outlook does not appear to me to be
very satisfactory. am inclined. on
the contrary. to regard II as serious.
American Crop Small.
Last year there was an unusually
large wheat crop in the United States.
which compensated us for the lack of
wheat supplies from Russia. But this
year the American crop is not abnormal.
It is estimated at about 655. 00O, 900 BUSH
els, compared with about 1000 .0O0. 900
bushels last year. We need as much
wheat as last year; indeed. We need
more. without an unusually large crop
in the United States we have nothing
to compensate for the absence Of wheat
from Russia.
