Here's The Remedy For High Living
Cost

The agitation for reduction In the
cost of living necessities turns quite
naturally to Congress, and the agita
tors, with childish simplicity, seem tt
expect that all Congress will have to
do will he to enact new law, afte!
which we can all be happy and llvs
cheaply. observes the Wadena (Minn
Pioneer Journal.
History shows that such expecta
tions are i'll founded. 1t is extremely
doubtful ii there is any legislator
which can be adopted which will prove
a cure-all. Only one suggestion mas
been made to date which might an
swer the question and that was a pre-
posal to restrict the money circulation
of the county The bad feature OF sucf
a remedy, however, is that 1t woul-
undoubtedly result in money panic.
That the evil can be cured is be
yond a doubt. But the remedy is no.
easy to apply. n ~. 40, - y ~
y The consumers themselves hold tbs
kew to the situation and it merely re
mains for them to organize and apply
the cure, which is to reduce living ex-
penses by buying less and SAVING
more money.
For instance, we are told that pro-
fiteers have cornered the coffee mar
ket and intend pushing the prices up
to point where the consumer will bH
asked to pay three prices for coffee
To enact a law which would put those
men behind the bars promptly would
he difficult matter and the taxpayers
would be out the expense of the litiga-
ton and their board. On the other
hand. IL the people should organize
consumers league, composed of mem
beers who will agree to abstain from
the use of coffee until the prOfitecrs
are broken IN pocketbooks and spirit
there would be no doubt about the
effectiveness of the remedy. At the
same time members of the league
would be saving money.
The late James j. Hill had 1t right
when he said 1t was not the high cost
OF living, but the scost of high living
that was the curse of the American
people. Nothing is too good nor toe
expensive for the average citizen. In
Minnesota, for instance, one out Of
every ten Of the population is the pos
SCISSOR Of an automobile. In Wadena
county the average is almost one out
Of every seven. And 1t costs money
to own and operate machine. The
women and girls try hard to keep up
with the fashions, which are fixed by
. coterie Of manufacturers who sec
to It that styles change not less than
twice year. High shoes for women
cost from $12 to $25 per pair. And
NO woman feels quite right unless her
feet are shod with high shoes.
Nor are the men any better: They
buy what their fancy dictates and the
price is only something to be grumb
led at.
So the real remedy is to buy less OF
the expensive things. This would de
crease the cost Of living appreciably
and We believe It would not result IN
any decrease of awes, either.

I for one, am sick of it. You have found fault with everybody and everything, basing your charges on groundless assumptions.

Untiring in her zeal for humanity, the Countess plunged into the work of raising funds for the res cue work.
 In the midst of the outburst of pity in Geneva for the victims of the fight ing in Italy the eloquent clergyman Merle d'Aubigne made his splendid ap- peal.
 "Who will minister to these poor Soldiers?" this divine demanded. "WhO will bind up their wounds? Who will speak the name of the Saviour to them? Will there be no cup of water from our country? Our land can be neutral while their wounds are being made. and should she not be all the more so when it is time to heal them On those plains are French, Germans and Italians who are suffering and dy- Yng.

Paris, June 12.-Marshal Foch and Gen. WeEgand had two conferences yesterday with Premier Clemenceau at which they discussed the immediate resumption of hostilites and con- certed advance by the Allies, says Marcel Hutin in the Echo de Paris.
 The general opinion is, the writer adds, that Count von BroclSdorff- Rantzau has committed himself too far to be able to sign the treaty. It is also believed that the Scheidemann ministry will be swept away to make room for a ministry of moderate inde pendent socialists which will be joined by Matthias Erzberger, chairman of the German armistice committee. This ministry, it is declared will be disposed to accept the Allied conditions which it will do about July 1.
