GOVERNMENT CAN'T STOP 1T,
Cost of Living in Canada Continues to
Soar.

/. OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. 2.-Despite gov
eminent efforts to reduce prices, the
cost of living in Canada continues to
soar. The high prices were cited as the
cause of unrest in every district, ae-
cording to Investigators of the recent
strikes throughout the dominion.
Government officials stated that the
high cost of necessities was responsible
for the dissatisfaction of thousands of
conservative workingmen. They also
asserted this subject gave radicals an
excuse for trying out more ambitious
schemes.
The average cost of % staple foods
in sixty cities in June was $13.72, as
compared with 1888 in May, official
statistics show. In June, 1914, the
average was $7.35.

COtt0nSeed
Meal

Information important to the farm
ers who are producing milk:
AS you of course know, the cotton
seed meal market during the past few
weeks has advanced to new high lev
els, which was brought about by heavy
buying on the part of both the domes-
tic and export trade, resulting in prac-
tical exhaustion of stocks. 1t is now al
most impossible to buy cotton seed meal
of any grade at any price. An occa-
sional small lot of So per cent meal
comes on the market at prices ranging
from $1,000 to $500 f. o. b. shipping
point and these lots without exception
are eagerly snapped up regardless OF
price. We doubt that there will be any
cotton seed meal left in the hands OF
the producers by the first of August.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 2.
WILL GET ONLY A STONE.

The American public is calling for
cheaper bread, cheaper shoes, cheaper
coal, cheaper ice and so on. Just at
present congress is flooded with resolu
tons and bills and the administration
itself is undertaking to cheaper the cost
of living. Just what they propose to
do is not clear but they are going to
do something-quite likely issue a re-
port. Some we'll fed, we'll dressed COM
mittees will sit. There will be some
heated talk in the form of questions
and answers but no one will acknowl-
edge they have anything to do with the
increased cost of living. The commit
tees will try to lay it on somebody who
controls the least votes and that some
body will give out statement that the
committee lies Meanwhile the public
will pay the price and demand more
pay. That is all the government inves-
LEGATIONS will amount to.
The Canadian government, the Eng
fish government and the French govern
ment have all tried to make the cost
of living government dictum and have
failed. The American government can
not hope to do better. The fact is value
of dollar as a medium of exchange is
determined by the law of supply and
demand, not by government statute
