PRICE RAISING HABIT

A provision dealer speaking few
days ago about the cost Of living
situation, gave some illustrations.
Among them was the case of lettuce.
A small bunch for which he said a
year or two ago he would be getting
five cents now is selling for IL cents.
The retailer was getting no more
profit than he did formerly.
So far as he could see, it was not
costing the grower Of that lettuce any
perhaps a small fraction more for
coal. Possibly he had had to advance
his labor costs little. But theetotal
advance could only be small pro-
portion of the advance in price. He
simply had been smart enough to
see that higher prices can be had on
everything. Some one is making a
lot Of money.
Z It. used to be thought that condi-
tons like these are cured by the in
exorable laws of supply and demand.
If prices keep up, lot more people
are going to be drawn into the truck

Of time for new equipment to be
created, farm land to be made profit

suffering and privation are caused,
while producers and dealers tack on
fancy figures.
The money makers should keep in
mind the old fable about killing the
goose that lays the golden eggs. If
exorbitant prices are asked, there will
be drastic state and government regu-
Ia tiOpS of prices Also there will he
such a rush Of people into the food

become Improbable.
Of course the farmer has his side
of the controversy. For years he was

could he get profitable prices. That
is another story to be considered later
But let him beware of asking prices
that will over-stimulate competition

staatiy killed, Monday evening at s
O'Clock, on the headland in front of

Gallato had knocked off work in his
field and walked toward his house
with Phillippi Vezo, neighbor.
Vezo states that upon reaching his
home he left Gallato, who continued
on toward his house, short distance
further. Soon after Vezo entered his
house, he heard a shot and going out
into the road saw Gallato stagger a
few steps and fall. He died within a
few minutes.
The authorities were notified, and
upon examination Of the body it was
found that Gallato had received q
