Richmond and High Prices

u lCHMOND would like to know why it has
IN become one of the most costly cities in
the United States in which TO live. Patient.
patriotic and long suffering. il has refused 10
become unduly excited by the ever-increasing
cost OF those things which are necessary TO q,
mere existence. but now the burden has piled
up so heavily that patience is no longer Il
virtue. and ii demands an explanation. Here
tofore Richmonds people practically without
question have accepted the now stcreotyped
excuse that il is ION account OF the war"
Convinced of the truth OF that badly over
worked bromide, they still would have no
plant TO make. but the point has been
reached where that no longer explains or eX-
cuscs. From this time forward it is going to
take more than plausible phrases to satisfy
minds perturbed by constant nattening Of
pockethooks. II is going TO take figures am
ply supported and buttrcssed up by facts to
make Richmond househOldcrs believe that
somewhere along the line between them
selves and the producers there is not proiteer
ing and that they are mol paying the price
of somebody's rapacty.
On the face OF it, there seems to exist no
Legitimate reason why Richmond. in the very
heart OF vast fertile and productive region
which is helping to provide the world with
food. should be called upon to pay prices for
subsistence higher than those paid by other
communities less favoraby situated both as
to territory and means OF easy transportation.
That something somewhere is radically wrong
has become too apparent to be ignored longer,
and the machinery which controls the citys
supplies and the prices it must pay must be
repaired, il found defective, or. If il be found
necessary. replaced entirely
Attention has been called to the seemingly
e1orbitant prices TO which milk used by Rich
mond consumers has been raised The dis
proportlonate figures are further accentuated
by the comparison with prices charged for
milk by the Valley producers and delivered
by them TO Newport News jobbers. Similar
comparisons with many other cities likewise
are to the disfavor OF Richmond. The new
schedule is in effect here, and as yet the food
administration. whose approval was neces-
sary to the increased prices. has not made
an explanation to the people. who are so
vitality affected OF why that approval was so
readily forthcoming nor have the dairy in
terests deigned to justify the increases fur
Their than the statement that the added
revenues would 60 to the dairy farmers

or, at the best, remaining stationary.
These things are vital to Richmond for
they are costing its people many thousands
OF dollars each week. Perhaps there is
necessity for such conditions. II so. all the
consumers ask is to be told fully and frankly
Will the food administration heed their de-
mand. which daily becomes more insistent?

The Elusive

The Elusive.
Love is elusive creature.
Fitting brightly in the distance
Fashionns each larinE feature,
Challenging the hearts resistance;
Reckoning, the laughing folly
Bidding us be gay and jolly.
Slipping, through the roses skipping
Framed in lowered vines. she prancee
In and out the hedges nipping
Queen OF all the Maids dances
Why we follow, no one knows
But we run. where folly goes!
And at last. when We have caught her.
When she yields TO ou.. embraces,
When we triumph who have sought her
In her thousand hiding places
the sriefs we'll be enduring
