having to do with agriculture. He
was strongly endorsed by all or the
agricultural interests OF the great
Northwest.
George G. Jewett secretary and
director, has had more than 6 years
experience in the banking and farm
loan business, and is intimately ac-
quainted with the financial needs of
farmers in the Spokane Federal Land
bank district. He is man of strong
executive ability and has been most
successful in private business ven
lures.
George NJ. Dreher, treasurer and
director, had l 3 years experience in
the banking business at Spokane,
leaving that business to enter the in
surance and real estate business. He
IS thoroughly familiar with land
values and is an expert accountant.
A. W. Cauthorn director, is peculi-
arly fitted to serve the Spokane Fed
eral Land bank by reason of his prac-
teal experience as a banker and as
the editor of farm paper Mr.
Cauthorn is manager of the farm edi-

higher higher

This situation, on the other hand,
does not make plunging advisable or
desirable.
Another cause for INDIGESTION or
delay in buying is the msinforma-
ton emanating from many sources
in regard to qualities of merchandise
and the variations in the price of
a given article.
For instance, one line of under
wear that was purchased last year
at (say) 1928 may now be quoted
at $1,000, while another line also
quoted last year at $S.25 may now
be Sl2. The seller of the $10.50
article may invariably claim that he
is giving exactly the same value; but
this cannot be true. In the case of
the cheaper article there has been
cheapening of the garment, while
the quality of the one at the higher
price has remained unchanged.
There is lot of such manipula-
tons and misstatements going on,
but the saying that "one gets only
what one pays for" is as true now as
ever Far-sighted manufacturers
wholesalers and retailers, for the
safeguarding of their reputation and
business will stick to the old quail
tiles regardless of advances. The
consumer who receives full value for
his dollar is not the one to change
his dealer when he wants more

uation. For the benefit of our read
ers we shall here present a number
of facts and figures, so that mer-
chants may visualize the actual diff
ference in the cost of most of the
items entering into the manufacture
of knit goods
We shall not specifically refer to
the increases in the price of oil, fuel,
bleaches, dyestuffs. buttons needles,
machinery and parts, nails, cases,
rent, lighting and numerous other
items, all of which play their part in
the added cost. 1t is not possible,
moreover, to give the exact differ
ence in the cost of all the separate
counts. kinds and grades of yarn;
however, in all of these the percent
age OF increase is approximately the
same throughout

Decrease in Production

One very large and important item
which has not here been taken into
account is the decreased production.
This has been due to various causes.
and has increased the overhead by
approximately 30 per cent. Another
is needles, which have advanced 300
per cent and are almost impossible
to procure at that. OF the other un-
enumerated items the increases have
been all the way from 25 per cent
to 1000 per cent and more.
December has been selected as
the month for quotations because
that was the month in which manu-
facturers placed contracts for sup
plies. Since December, 1916, there
have been further increases, averag-
ing not less than 10 per cent, over
the above quotations.
The figures will prove extremely
valuable as tending to remove the
impression which prevails in many
quarters that the trade is being asked
to pay unwarranted prices for knit
goods.
Because of this impression a GER
tain proportion of buyers defer their
purchases in the expectation that
prices will be lowered. 1t can be
definitely and positively stated, how
ever, that there is no possible chance

FAST DRIVING

Nearly every day some accident
happens that is largely due to fast
driving at dangerous points. From
this fact it would seem that automo-
bile drivers would use extraordinary
care in the city and country in max
ing turns on corners. The simple fact
that a turn from one road to another
is going to be made, a driver should
use caution in making the corner at
a slow rate of speed If this was
followed strictly by all drivers there
would be no accident at such places
Most drivers are careless in this resi-
pect. Since Baker street has been ma
cadamized there is tendancy by most
drivers to travel up and down this hill
too rapidly. At different times the
writer, who travels up and down this
hill daily, has noticed several close
calls that would have proven disas-
trous had they occurred.
The accident which happened Sun
day afternoon with the cars of F. X.
Linderman and c. G. Ecklund might
have proven quite serious. As it was
the damage was done simply to the
two cars. Who was to blame we are
unable to state as we did not witness
the accident. Perhaps one driver was
wholly to blame and again they may
both have been to blame. One thing
Is true that Mr.. Ecklund showed ex-
cellent judgment in running his car
into the Huntington garage building
and thereby avoided a head-on COLI

Gov. Phillips Straddling

In another column of this issue we
are publishing by request a report on
the address of R. P. Hutton, Supt. of
the Wisconsin Anti-Saloon League, in
which he makes clear Gov. Phillips
position on the dry and war situation.
If Gov. Phillips expects to be candi-
date for reelection the coming year,
he can get pretty good idea of how
the temperance people look upon his
administration the past two years. He
may be able to pull the necessary
strings to secure the denomination
by his party but if he succeeds in the
denomination it's doubtful, whether
he can secure the election. His re-
election will be bitterly opposed by
many of his own party. A new nomin-
alton by the Republicans will streng-
then the party at the coming election
while his nomination for third term
will make the results doubtful.

We notice by the Stevens Point
Journal that on account of the short
age of help and the big crop of pota-
toes in Portage County, the citizens
called mass meeting for the purpose
of providing means to help the farm
ers dig their crop of potatoes. There
is some talk of closing the schools for
week, or more, and have the stud
ents and teachers help harvest the
crop, the helpers to be paid according
to the work they do. We wonder if
the conditions in Portage County are
true in Wood County.
