REPLACEMENT COST GOVERNS

Attorney General Palmer rcncws
the suggestion which has been made
heretofore that as one means for
combating the high cost of living
there should be stamped upon articles
Of merchandise offered for sale at
retail, tho price at which they left
the hands of the producer. The
only field in which that method
would be productive of any useful
results whatever is in the handling
Of a. very small line of articles Of mer-
chandtsc which are Of such a cI1arac-
ter that they are handled rapidly. and
remain only a very short time in the
hands of any one distributor between
the time of their manufacture and
that Of their fna1 sale. On all other
classes Of goods tho plan would cre-
ate irritation and confusion without
producing the slightest benefit
Mr.. Palmer's suggestion seems to
bo based on the theory that it Is the
cost price of goods which ought to
govern the retail sale price. It is true
that prices ought to belbased on cost,
and except where the price is purely
artificial. they are based on cost. But
in many lines of trade it is the cost
Of replacement rather than the ac-
ttla1 cost which governs the selling
price. This plan is not only just but
1T is the only just plan. The retailer
must necessarily carry considerable
stock of goods in order to meet the
demands of his trade. He buys fol-
days, for weeks. or for months in ad-
vance depending on the character OF
goods and the conditions Of his trade
After he has placed an order the
prices may advance or decline. It'll

CHRISTMAS.

CHRISTMAS.
When Christmas comes I'd like to be
Old Santa Claus and travel far
To all my friends, and trim a. tree
For them no matter where they are.
I'd like to give my heart full swing
To shape it's wishes into deeds
And do for everyone the thing
His happiness most sorely needs
When Christmas comes I'd like to fill
The lives of all with joy and peace:
I'd like to go where men arc i'll
And quickly make their sufferings
cease. ID, -.,.'
Id like to smooth the troubled brow
OF every trace of inward care
And press the burrows out somehow
And leave but love and laughter
there.
I'd like to help the youth to climb
And bring the sailor home from sea,
To write in deeds this feeble rhyme
And be the man I'd like to be.
Had 1 the'power for just one night
The wants of others to attend,
I'd change all grief into delight
And carry peace to every friend.
But since I have no magic gift
To change what is Of grief or care
Or from their weary hearts to lift
The weight of woe which may be
there,
can but pray that God above
Shall guard my friends from day
to day
And bless them with his boundless
love
And keep them safe along life's way.

FARMERS BUYERS
 OF AUTOMOBILES
By HOLLAND.

New York. September 11.-(SpeciaD Manufacturers of automobiles are re- porting new conditions which are cer- tainly peculiar and without any pre- cendent. For some years salesman ship has been carefully taught by the automobile manufacturers or their re- presentatives and the country has been almost flooded with skilled men who solicited orders for automobiles. For the present at least this is no longer necessary. Statesmen are not any long
 CT busy for there is practically no need of them, at least in some parts of the country. This is reported to be noticeable the condition in the West and in the Far West. Heretofore the salesmen have approached the farmers seeking to persuade them to buy this or that automobile. Now the farmers are seeking automobiles and are com municating directly with the agents or the managers of branch houses Thereby comes an incidental revelation of the fact that the farmers are plen- tifully supplied with funds and one of the first uses to which they put their surplus money, or part of it, is in the purchase of an auto. Sometimes they buy cars for pleasure or for family purposes alone, but already they are showing a strong disposition to buy tractors and automobiles which are to be used for farm purposes.
 In fact so great is the demand for automobiles that much difficulty is met in securing contracts for the deliv- cry of machines some weeks or months

 'sYou cant miss the village" he said And if you hear car coming, jumpi into the bushes and hide"
 Even as he spoke the man climbed back behind the wheel and with a jery he swung the car around and with little wave of his hand he whirled away in the direction from which they had just come. "I didn't even thank him!'' Jane gasped. But the next instant she real ized that she had no time for vain re- grets and turning suddenly from the highway she started along the dusty read, keeping close, to the overhanding bushes.
