"A recent press dispatch stated
that 10000 Germans had left the

PRICES AND VALUES

One Of the results Of the changed
cost of living in the past few years
has been confusion Of prices with
values by those who try to measure
the values Of commodities today with
those Of decade ago. An anecdotr
illustrative of the point is told in n
recent circular letter by a lumber in
dustry.
A Missouri farmer, as the story
runs, kicked because his dealer offered
him for 500 the same kind of buggy
that his father bought 20 years ago
for $50. The merchant, upon investi-
cation, found that the father paid for
his vehicle with 800 ubshels of corn.
Whereupon he offered to give his Gus
toner in exchange for 300 bushels IT
corn the following articles:
One 500 buggy, one SIS wagon, one
$50 suit of clothes, one 500 dress for
his wife, one SO dress for his baby.
one S. crib for his baby, one SO box
of cigars, $40 worth Of sugar, SIC
worth Of tea, 500 worth Of gasoline
SIS worth of lubricating oil.
The farmer refused the offer, paid
$50 for his buggy and departed sat
isfed.

SYDNEY, Australia, May.-"Aus- traItan soldiers are the most willing of all the soldiers have seen to sacrifice themselves to get the wound ed under cover" recently declared Major General James T. Logge, in spector general of the commonwealth forces. "Thero is never any lack of men to carry the wounded, how eyer hot the fire they have to go through. There will always be men missing, notwithstanding all the searches over No Mans Land but people can rest assured that wherey CT the Australians are fighting if it is possible for wounded man to be got in he will be got in"
 In the fighting that ragged around Mouquot Farm, General Logge said, three wounded Australians were found in shell hole near a German trench. They had been there nine days. The least seriously wounded of the trio had attended to the wounds of the other two, and by crawling about at night and searching for water bot ties and food on corpses had kept his comrades alive.
 General Logge commanded an Aus tralian division in France until early this year.
