FIXING PRICES

President Wilson with authority
invested by congress and on recon-
mendation of the trade commission.
has liked prices that effect reductions
OF from 40 to 10 per cent on different
grades anc kinds of steel. Similarly
he has fixed prices for coal and other
commodities that have greatly reduc-
ed the cost to the consumer, all for
the furtherance of the war aims of
the nation.
with government regulation of
prices during war time 1T is inevita Bile
that, when peace returns, there shall
be demand by the people for gov
ernment regulation of prices in peace.
Having been shown that producers,
lobbers, wholesalers and middlemen
OF all sorts have been taking extOr-
tionale prices the people will not un-
protestingly submit to a return of
ante bellum conditions.
At an investigation of coal prices
charged by Missouri dealers a st.
Louis coal man, asked how he insti-
fed taking profit of over 100 per
cent answered.: because we can
get it," That has been the attitude
OF every retailer and wholesaler
They have charged exorbitant prices
because we can get it, but having
been convicted of extortion by evil
dence collected and published by the
trade commission, it is not likely
that the public will tamely submit to
again being the victim of unscrup-
uluous profteering.
No right minded man will deny to a
producer, a jobber. a wholesaler or 9
retailer fair profit. Having built up
our chain of commercial process
through years and having found it
fairly capable of results, although
overly cumbersome, we are not now
seeking to d,smante the structure
nor to remodel it for something as
yet untried in the way of production
and distribution. But one thing is
certain-there must be revision of
business morals. Business has
shown itself devoid of conscience.
Government regulation OF prices dur
ing war has pointed fair adjust
ment and solution of mounting liv-
ing costs can justly be continued af-
ter peace has come.

AMERICAS MERCHANT FLEET

Within little more than year

its merchant marine to more than
1000 ships, aggregating more than
5000 900 tons, placing this country
we'll towards the top OF the list Of
maritime nations, a position it should
have taken long ago. This lnforma-
tion is contained in the announce
ment by the shipping board OF the
goVernwent's shipbullding program,

WAR GARDENS

This is the time of year when the
superior person who spent the sum
mer playing golf or autoing instead
of cuitivating IA war garden will! tell
you. "No, | didn't have garden this
summer. IN tell you why. | figure
| can make more money by spending
at other work the time it would take
me TO care for garden ="
His argument against war garden
is, in his own mind, unanswera BILE,
Actually is it anything but puncture-
proof. 1t is undoubtedly true that
the man of average brains can make
more money at his trade or profess
sion by deVoting similar amount of
time to it rather than to gardening
But it is on that very fact that his
argument. breaks down, because al
though he could make more money
with that time he doesn't do it--he
wastes the time and so has neither
the money nor the garden.
The early morning or the early
evening hours are usually the ones
devoted TO the garden. BY spending
an hour before breakfast or an hour
after supper in the garden truly mar.
Ve!ous results are obtained. But
there is not one in ten thousand of
those boastfully superior persons
who spend that hour before break.
fast or after supper at their superior
trade of making more money. Ask
any of them how much overtime they
worked during the summer to make
up fer their lack of a garden and you
won't find one in whole city.
Another fallacy Of their argument
is this: The man who, by the contri-
button of no matter how valuable
time, has cultivated a garden and
grown a peck of potatoes or bushei
of turnips or half dozen cabbages
has reduced the food shortage of the
world at this most crucial time in 81
way that no expenditure of energy in
other lines could do He has added
to the world 6 treasure beyond reck-
oning in casual dallars and cents. lie
has proiited himself with that much
more foodsttt1s, and incidentally
made that much more available for
others less fortunate. He has added
to human life, which is aud always
will be more valuable than human
time and human effort. But more
than all these, Ile has made himself a
benefactor to his kind and has proved
himself of real unselGsh usefulness.

LIFE IN THE TRENCHES

A CANADIAN soldier inValided home
informed 3 newspaper man, who in
tervieWed him on how he managed TO
endure lite in the trenches, that the
ability to endure the hardships is in
the Way you take it. The fellow who
broods aud thinks aud worries goes
to pieces. The one that takes it as
it comes, without worrying over what
has happened or what may happen
stands the gaff."
Ther is much philosophy, although
he wonld probably not call it so, in
what the young Canadian offers as
his explanation why some men stand
war better than others 1t is a phil
osophy that can be applied 10 every
day life with great advantage.
THE fellow who broods and thinks
and wefries goes to pieces" Isn't
that true of every day life? Recall
among your list of friends the man
or woman who is given TO worrying.
They are a bundle of nerves, all on
edge, fearful of what the next mo-
ment may bring. undecided what to
do next lest it have dire consequences.
They live in the past filled with re-
grets and dread the future, The most
insignificant Incidents are to them
full of portent and they are forever
recalling what might have been if
thus. and so had been different, un-
til they are usually burden TO them
selves and bore to others.
Worry never did a bit of good since
the world began and if the world
exists TOR a hundred million years
more worry will not change its course
nor better it. 1t is but useless ex-
penGitore of energy, which accom-
pllshes nothing.
AS between the man who worries
and the fataist who accepts all that
comes with equanimity, even refus-
ing to exert himself physically to
avert calamity, the fatalist is much
to be preferred, He is a much hap
pier, more optimistic person and far
more enjoyable company The man
who is afraid to ride au automobile
lest something so wrong with the
steering gear does not get much
pleasure out of life. But more than
that he prevents others from tiudinq

WRITE TO THE SOLDIERS BOYS

The lad at the army camp is UNDER
going an entirely new experience.
He is all the time practically under
orders, he isn't going about just
he pleases, he isn't hollering Hello
Bill, to every other fellow he meets,
because he don't know many by their
first names yet. He sleeps on a cot,
he eats from tin dish, and most Of
the eats are put on that dish all at
once, his meals are not served in
courses and he washes his own dishes
and the change from the things he
has been accustomed to may make
him little dissatisfied. Hadn't you
