Production and The
High Cost Of Living

The prospect of every Anne ,,cln !
having a fair share of the things ne
cessary to sustain life and make it
worth living. depends in part upJn
the speed and quantity in which those
things are produced. II we were able
for a certain length of time TO do
vote the whole of our productive
powers to making useful things aud
nothing else. their cost would be re-
duced, in spite OF the Vaccinations
OF the profiteer, to price Witch
would enable everyone to have all
required.
1t is obvious that the wage earn
er of the country constitute the cl EFF
market to which producers must loC!
for the purchase of the goods pro-
duced. In the main. II is necessary
that we produce for ourselves AMI
for others such things as we require
such as food, shelter and clothing.
If a sufiiciency OF such things were
produced, their prices would fall to
a level where all might obtain what
their necessities demanded.
The cheaper these things become.
the less they take up the wages of
the workers, the more money is freed
for the purchase OF other things and
demand is created for fresh commo-
dities. This demand furnishes furth-
err employment and additional wages.
So this cycle continues to revoive in
definitely around production. BY in
creasing production the cost OF living
not only Is decreased but employ
ment Is augmented and money Is lib
Grated to command less necessary
things.
II we do adopt every means OF in
creasing output. II we do not abolish
waste and diminish unnecessary ex-
penditure, we must gradually impov-
erish ourselves as a nation. Unless
we give larger share of our nation
al effort to production OF necessities
and save on Injuries that more capt.
tai may be released for plants and
machinery for further production.
conditions will be produced which
will tend to lower the general STAN
dard of life OF the wage earners in
spite of higher nominal wages.
But, If we are prepared to work
hard, to spend wisely. TO save regu-
larly, to cut down waste and extra
vagance and invest securely. shorter

working hours will become possible
wages will be really and not nomin-
ally higher and prosperity will be our
national portion.
One OF the greatest aids to the fur
thcrance OF this program is consist
ent and regular investment in gov
eminent savings securities, War Saw
ings Stamps, Tariff Stamps, Savings
Certificates and Liberty Bonds offer
opportunity for the putting aside OF
any sum of money no matter show
great or how small They are safe
they bear high interest and invest
ment in them means new capital, new
opportunity and new prosperity for
the people OF the nation.

THE HIGH PRICE OF

Silver at more than double the

The high price stimulates prud0r~
