XMAS TREES GAIN
WELL KNOWN H. e. OF L
D---n the kaiser.

D--n the kaiser.
The festive Christmas tree, which
in days gone by has sold at fairly
reasonable figure, has joined most
everything else and is going skywari.
Prices of 1918 trees in many cases
are 100 per cent higher than they
were year ago and even a small
tree now costs in the neighborhood Of
$3.50 and $500 A twin city church
which always has large tree, was
forced to pay $40 for the evergreen
this year--tan unheard of price.
There are various reasons for this
condition, but the principal ones ad
vanced by a dealer in trees are these
They are very, very scarce, due to
a shortage of labor, in the forest
shortage of cars for shipment and
slowness Of freight. The advance in
labor. freight, war tax on freight, ad
vance Of carriage, etc, all have con
tributed to the increased prices"
And on top of 1t all the trees are
hard to get.
