THERE MUST BIZ aoops TO DIVIDE.

The noted economist employed by the
National City Bank Of New York City
to edit its bulletin upon financial sub
jects expounds q well established, tried
and true doctrine in finance when he
points out that labors return in
wages is enhanced more by the rein
vestment Of capital derived from in
dustry than it is from the enforced
demands Of labor unions Organized
labor can not keep wages up when en-
ployment Is slack. That Is notorious
On the other hand when capital Is re-
invested in new factories and new en-
terprises and new jobs are created the
new demand for labor boosts all wages.
Unorganized labor receives better pay
and wages in union shops rise above
the union scale because new shops are
bidding for the men
Says the economist:
There are no investments for capital
except in producing something for the
public market. and unless the pur-
chasing power Of the masses Of the
people Increased &c correspond with
the increased production, industry
would come to q standstill, and there
would be no use for new capital. There
Is an inevitable competition between
the new capital always coming on the
market and all the old investments.
So long as capital increases faster
than population, and faster than the
labor supply, there is bound to be
an increasing demand for labor
| which moves the wage-rate gradu-
ally upward; and at the same time
there Is going on an increase and

SOME CHANGE r

Council Bluffs Nonparel.1
Something Hike thirty-five years ago
back in the 'sos-a farmer living If
teen miles from Harlan hauled a load
of good corn to that town and had to
look around for a buyer at Is cents per
bushel. He used the proceeds to buy
a load of coal to take home on his re-
turn. 1t was a long, hard days trip
thirty miles with a load both ways.
On the way down and back the man
thought it all out. What's the use OF
all this drudgery, he asked himself.
And when the coal which he isAd
hauled out was consumed he didn't re-
peat the trip. He used the corn for
fuel and saved the drudgery of that
long trip. A load Of corn would last
longer as fuel than the coal 1t would

The cost Of high living is ailing the
nation far more than the high cost Of
living, according to trade reports from
the great textile Industries OF Philadel-
rhia, where most of the cloth Of the
country is made.
Local mems wear and dress goods
factories are still fighting the appar-
emily losing battle between production
and demand. While the market in the
lower priced goods is pretty well sat
isfied factories are still far behind the
call for the higher class Of materials
reads one market review.
Another reports that:
sumner for the very highest priced goods
Is very apparent. The finer textures
are in constant demand, while there
are many accumulations Of cheaper
goods in the hands Of the cutters. This
Is particularly true Of the coarser
grades of overcoatings. In the better
grades, however. clothing manufac-
turers can not get enough to meet the
call Of the retailers"
Thus it would seem that prices had
not yet gone high enough to cause peo-
pie to turn to the cheaper grades for
relief. The public, flush with its I'M
precedented wage, is buying the fancy
stuff at the fancy prices and If deal
or now and then Drofiteers a little 1t
is because the people are willing to buy
the best at his price,
What is true Of suitings for men
and dress goods for women is also true
Of silks. The trade news from the silk
manufacturer reads:
THE broad silk market still finds
itself up against q demand far exceed
ing the supply. This Is particularly
true Of the higher priced goods. Labor
troubles continue to hamper produc-
ton and the indications are that prices
will remain trim and high for an ap-
probable period"
Even in silks people will have the
highest priced stuff they can get.
Every man jack Of Us Is as good as his
neighbor II not . little bit better anc
as a nation we will buy the highest
priced stuff We can get because we
have the money. That's all there is to

We have the money We are going to de-

Lady Duck led the way into the for
