One strong inducements favor of handling and

But like to keep from the repair question if

This is simple analysis and it is true
Some machines simply tear themselves pieces

ANOTHER REASON FOR HIGH PRICES.

WHEN the supply of any commodity doesn't meet the
W demand, even a child knows that an advanced price
will be in evidence. But a girl down east has found another
reason for high costs of food, in which supply and demand
didn't enter into the question.
Thi, girl picked a bushel Of peaches in her fathers or
chard, She sold the peache, to a local shipper for 81 20.
She wrote a note asking the consumer Of the peache, 10
write her how much he paid for them, and placed the note
among the peaches.
In a few day, the expected letter arrived, The con
,umer paid S. for the bushel OF peaches, showing thai, some
one along the line made a profit of $3.50.
Evidently too many middlemen had a shot at tina, basket
of peaches. But the food administrator, with the assist
ance of the various committee. throughout the states, will
soon reach the perplexing marketing question and wei
see less Of abnormal profits that represent the toll taken
by those who didn't produce the food, but who are skiliuI
in earning a living in handling food products.

.Saue the Waste and Win the War;
ONE PRICE THAT CAN'T ADVANCE.

DIVE cents obtains q ride on local street cars. Prices
Of oil other things may advance, but the street car
d6e remains at . nickel, now and forever. 1t IS an
seuneed by Mr.. Shsrtel, general manager. OF the com
pany. that high prices exist all along the line with the
trolley line company, with no opportunity, like other III
~sttutions, Of increasing rates to meet the increased cost
4 operating.
Since the company is about to raise the wage, of EN-
D1oyes and since Il is known that prices of metals and
oAer materials are higher than in the past, at first glance
h might appear that the street car company faced a per
pjexity by reason of inability to raise its passenger rates
fso Q nickel to some amount that would bring in more
revenue.
While the company cannot raise its rates II can raise
h REVENUE. The one way to get more revenue is to
hal more passengers. OF course, it is assumed that the
traffic experts Of the company have worked out all the
Details so that every possible nickel lands in the strong
bex Of the railway company.
But no street car company in the world has yet devel-
open q perfect service. Many cities boast of their local
traffic systems, Oklahoma City among the rest, and so far
- our company is concerned there are a lot Of nice things
which can be said about it.
The people wish to see the company prosper. And the
Dsopie hope that the service can be made so nearly per
fa that more nickels will be invited to drop into the
hands Of the uniformed men on the rear platforms.
One citizen says fhat formerly he rode on street cars,

sanding room in the front Of the cars.
Anether man who formerly rode regularly to a suburb

eafee. He became dissatisfied with riding home At night
without being able ever to get q seat
Every one knows that street car arrangements have
6Vube through most every minute Of the day. And all
bmow that there are times when human ingenuity can't
provide a seat for every railway passenger, except when
reservations are made, which isn't possible with street
miiway systems.
So, since the company cannot raise its rates, the only
ehanee Of increasing its receipts to meet increased operat-
II expenses is to haul more people. II the company can de-
Wee . method TO improve the service, which is excellent
q many Of It's lines, the people will quickly respond with
more niekels to encourage the company in maintaining its
tnes and In extending the system. Better service is the
only element which will cause more people to ride and
provide more gross earnings for the company. Whenever
he company can make its service of such a nature tina,
~ people will not only ride but will take the time to
hdsce others to ride, the %company's revenue should bound

HOW'S THAT OIL WELL?

ONE we'll known citizen me, another well known citizen
- and propoundcd this "How's that oil well1" And
the reply was to the effect that indications pointed to the
drill reaching sand next week.
Then the inquistor went along the principal highway
lie asked other men how their oil wells were getting along
From the answers received. every one that was queried
had some kind of an oil investment, either production, lease
or shares in an oil corporation.
But along toward sunset the busy questioner asked an
old man about oil. The answer was startling The man
had no oil investment, he had no production; he owned
no leases; his name did not appear on any certificates of
stock.
Here was an interesting situation. The curious man
who had asked questions all day <ong suddenly felt hi,
heart throb; he had a vision. He would Immediately
hunt up all the oil promoters and all the stock statesmen
and sell the name and address OF the one man who didn't
have any oil investments,
He turned to 20. Then he had another thought. He
would again ask the non investor, to make sure that he
had not misunder stood.
Again he addressed the old man did understand
you to say you had no oil Investments p 81 have none"
answered the old man.
Whirling on his toes, the interrogation started to go. He
paused. A thought struck him. SAY" said he to the old
man, 81 forgot something do you happen to have any zinc
Investments" And the reply was: oh, yes, | have some
rinc leases and some shares in several zinc corporations"

The tendency at present is to put too
much material into cycling skirts. 1t
looks extremely ugly even when the
skirt is an equally divided one, to see
the continual iluttcr going on. But no
amount of talking will persuade the
fashionable dressmakcr to stint her
stuff to the regulation two and three
quarter yards round. She will attempt
the impossible feat of making the cy-
cling dress conform to the fashion Of
an up-to-datc walking dress, unmind-
iul of the fact that the cycling dress
should be short and rather scant.

HOT WINDS.

A LITTLE while ago it looked as
~ though we'd have a harves:
great; the corn was standing.
green, uncooked, in shining fields, in
many a state. The farmers, grieved by
barren years, beheld the prospect with
a smile. This year" they thought,
the golden ears will bring us in \
goodly pile" And then, as from a
dragons mouth, there came a blazing.
blighting breath, a fried wind sizzling
from the south, and all the corn was
done to death. Don't talk of grief till
you have seen your harvest wilt be-
meath the eye; till you've beheld the
walls of green change in a day to dun,
and die. The long hard hours in sun
and rain, the heat and burden OF the
day, the hope of a substantial gain, all
nullified and thrown away. In this sad
year of Seventeen, with all the world
in war employed, u%ncounted farmers
thus have seen their harvests and their
hopes destroyed. And yet the farmers,
brave and strong, make little moan, and
shed no tear; they say TO burned up
fields, $50 long Well hope for better
luck next year "
