please all or O. large number. One Is
that it will be impossible to regulate
prices SO that all are the gamers by
the regulations. 1t is not to be ex
pected that in this age of materialisIn
men will voluntarily give up their
business interests without some kind
of a protest. There is too much sell
fishness in the human race to ex-
pect any such thing. Then again it
is not likely that the government
can adjust the prices SO that the peo-
pie can see that the prices fixed will
inure to the benefit of those in
terested.
Whether the proper course has
been taken in the regulation of prices
will be matter of debate and it is
to be hoped that there will be no
panic in any line of business at this
time. 1t must be conceded that at
the best it will be bad enough.
+ 1t is our opinion that the regula-
tion should have begun just where
the boosting of prices begun. Then
let the AK fall where it will as the
government should go down the line
untisl the last should be reached.
All in the west realize that the west
ern people did not start to boost
prices. 1t was the manufacturer and
the big concerns that jumped at the
opportunity to make big profits.
They forced the prices up and others
simply had to go up in order to do
business. In some instances there
were those who did not raise for
some reason or other. They have
been forced to lose money and some
are on the verge of ruin. 1t is not
because there is not as much money
in the country, for there is more
money in circulation at this partic-
ular time than there has been before
in years. 1t is because some are
caught in the trap and must suffer.
Generally speaking business is good
and will likely be good for some
time. There is plenty Of money cir
culating and il one can avoid the
pinch, he is liable to get thru the
adjustment of prices, he may con-
sider himself fortunate.

EFFECT OF WAR ON
PRICE OF LAND.

One Of the questions that is alb
sorbing large part of the thought
of the people of America is as to
the effect of the war on the price of
land. Previous to the war the land
in various parts of the country had
gone up about as far it was thought
it could go. 1t had about stopped
in its upward course. Many thought
that it was ready to go back. Others
thought that it would hold its own
and insisted that land would never
be lower in price. However, in GER
tain sections it did actually fall in
price. Generally speaking it was at
4 standstill.
When the war broke out in Europe
there became an increased demand
for farm crops. Many thought that
the demand for crops would force
up the price of land. 1t did not seem
to increase as it was thought that it
should. This fact has caused many
ground. For three years there has
been considerable talk of shortage
of crops from the farm. That talk
is still continued. Prices are up and
now il is evident that land must soon
go up.
There is just one drawback to the
farm and this will have much to do
it'll the value of land and perhaps
has been the chief cause of why
land has not gone up in price ac-
cordingly This is the problem of
farm help. So many young men
have been taken from all lines of busi
ness and farmers are as helpless as
are others.

THE SEYEREST TEST OF ALL.
Looking at the condition of af-
fairs in this country from a bust
ness point of view it must be frankly
admitted that the severest test the
people have had at least since the
civil war is the adjustment of them
selves to the regulations of the gov
ernment under the food adminstra-
tor. There We're those who thought
that Hoover could get away with
the job in short order and with the
complete satisfaction of all the var
ious classes in the various sections
of the country. As time passes and
the new rules and regulations begin
to interfere with the regular course
of business it is evident that not
many in this country are satisfied
1t is evident that it will be almost
impossible to regulate prices to
please any great majority of the
people.
There are different reasons why
the government can not be able to

SEEMS TO BE GENERAL AD-
VANCE

At no time during the history of
the present war has there been SO
much evidence of weakness on the
part of the central powers and so
much courage on the part of the al
lies. 1t is true, there has been much
talk and many reports that the allies
have been on the offensive for year
or more but even with all this talk
there has been a feeling that they
were not making any perceptible pro
gress against the German armies.
AS it now stands, il reports are to
be believed, the Italians, the French
and the English are all making ad-
vances on the Germans and Austians
Strip after strip of territory, though
in many instances small, have been
falling into the hands of the allies.
The Germans have been as usual
coming back with counter attacks
which seem to be weakening as the
months go by. If conditions continue
to prevail, ii is more than likely that
the peace talk will continue to grow
and that there soon will be a general
feeling that the war can not last
long. However, this government is
making preparations for long war
This, we believe is right. 1t is like
