Preparations for launching a reign

committee, at the Chamber of Com

does not mean that everyone has been
guilty of extravaganza. but it is evil
dent to the most casual observer that
there has been a tremendous reaction
from the economy practiced during
war time. An era of reasona BILE buy
ing will assist in making a great
change in present economic conditions,
it Is declared. and each person must
constitute themselves a committee of
one to supervise their own buying in
the most conscientious manner. This
the club women intend in no wise as
q boycott on any merchant.
At the meeting of the club officers
with the fair price committee many
speakers told their experiences in the
buying field, and advanced sound sug-
gestions for the reduction of living
costs. Mrs. w. A. McCarter. presi-
dent of the Woman'si club. declared

sense must be exercised, she de-
must share in it's application
Mrs. D. W. Mulvane voiced similar
sentiments. I am not here" she de-
clared. Ito state or even suggest that
anyone is profiteering. but rather to
suggest that present conditions are
largely brought about by the rules of
supply and demand. If prices are too
high on articles by reason of the scar

lack OF, or insufficient production. let
us buy less Of them until the supply
catches up with the demand"
