To the Editor of the Telegraph:
In this mornings Patriot on front
page a piece appeared called why
Housewives Go Mad or Why Po-
tatoes Rot"
l think that the Patriot is all
wrong as to the reason why Harris
burg people go mad. My theory is
that if we did not have a disturb
ance-maker like the Patriot in Har-
risburg we would all be better off
businessmen and the public in gen.
eral. The Patriot does not consider
the fact that very nearly every
grocer laid in potatoes last fall when
he paid from S1.25 to $1.50 per
bushel for potatoes. The farmer held
his potatoes back expecting to get
even a higher price for potatoes this
spring than he did last spring. but
he got fooled. Now he has to get rid
of them at a very low figure before
they rot. Why does the Patriot al
ways hit at the grocer? 1t seems
to me that they might publish prices
on clothing such as they did recently
on cash and carry groceries. We
must all wear clothes and look at
the price of clothing to-day. I would
like to see this published.
Respectfully,
ONE OF THE HILL GROCERS.
