Who's to blame tor high prices?

Henry White got tired Of living in a flat and decided to 90 to the sub

the job
This started Henry on an investigation of the causes Of prevailing high
prices and he tried to track the mystery down.
The contractor blamed most Of the increase in his quotations, 9 J, higher

to the lumber man. "High wages" he was told, "added to high stumpage
costs and increased freight charges" The hardware man. and the cement

Arriving at home Henry was met by his wife who said: Henry, i

Henry saw a great light. 8"low, I have it," he exclaimed. "The farm

have to pay it to save the crops. Fertilizer costs twice rs much as it used

times l feel like giving up, letting the farm go to groan, and look for one
Of those office jobs" - Y8 @@a
And St the circle goes around. Henry has decided to build the bunga-
low at $4,000 and let the economists fight out the causes for high prices
The above shows how useless it is to delay necessary buy
ing or building because of prices-in fact delay only adds to
the difficulty.
The thing to do is-go ahead, buy wisely but buy what you
need.
Build what you need to make your place more profitable
or valuable.

Viscountess Astor Looks Like
Winner for Seat In House

(BY STANLEY SMITH,

S)-The most uii1quie political cam.
paign IN the history of England
wound UP here today with Viscount-
ess Asto;, who Is a candidate for her
husbands seat in commons, confident
Of success, but still pleading for
votes. The balloting will take place
tomorrow. Premier Lloyd George was
unable to come to Plymouth to assist
the fair American candidate, but sent
Mrs. Lloyd George, who has been de-
livering prohibition speeches in Scot
land.
Mrs. Lloyd George added a new
element to the final stage of the
electioneering, not only on account
OF the political prestige of her hus-
band, but because of her recent
activities in behalf of the "drys."
Her coming brought out strange
contrast, as she is as calm and mare
thorough as the viscountess Is girlish
and vivacious.
If Ramsay Macdonald and Philip
Snowden (pacifists) had had their
way, you would have been doing the
goosestep on the banks of the River
Hoe today" cried Viscountess Astor
In one of her final speeches to an
audience comprised of many ex- sol :
diers.
One man in the audience attempted
to heckle the candidate, and she
turned upon him, exclaiming:
Take that cigarette out of your
mouth IL you are talking to me-"
A gray-haired mans shouted at a
laborer heckler:
Il was wounded twice at the front
and l am as years of age"
Now, that Is the sort of man
want to represent in parliament" said
the viscountess, in triumph.
Persons sympathetic with the indie
pendent labor party followed the can.
didate from meeting to meeting, bu
failed to disconcert her. After on
fussilade of questions she exclaimed
The firing parties came out II
punches. 1t is a pity they did not US,
more ammunition in the trenches in
stead of saving it for me-"
In reply to some jibes at her wealth
she flung back:
What is the use of having a pal
ace IL you have no time to sit in it

! ing God and Christianity, practising
it. / want to see the snobs and hum
bugs and hypocrites wiped out"
