CORN AND PORK

Inc Qownward plunge or corn
and pork in the provision markets
i proof enough that 50 far as
these commodities were concerned
the high prices have borne no re-
lA6on to the costs of production.
Those prices were purely speeu-
lative.
Further it has been shown that,
in spite Of loud assertion. the price
Of corn was not fixed upon the
price OF wheat. The government
Is not the least likely to repudiate
its guaranteed wheat price TO the
farmers nor is II likely TO pay the
guaranteed price to the farmers
and let the markets fix the prices
% the consumer. Director Barnes
OF the Grain Corporation reports
that conditions warrant a higher
price for wheat in the open mar
kcts than that now maintained by
the government. And meanwhile,
though wheat is at an unchanging
price level. corn moves down
ward in great leaps.
Whatever may come OF the ex-
plosion over the high costs of
living, the public Is the gamer by
one thing, namely, that the argll-
nents and explanations for high
corn and pork, 50 vigorously put
forth these last few months, are
no longer worth the wind OF
speaking them.

Uncle Sam Taxes Peaches and

Uncle Sam is playing no fayorltes
as between friend wife and friend hus- +
band, in the matter of collecting
enough pennies to keep the govern
ment going and pay the war debt.
When friend wife starts. in to fuss
nm for an afternoon at bridge she is
going to pay little something extra
for the privilege just the same as

the druggist pill place cancelled
stamp on the package and call for an
extra cent for the tablets and two
cents for the powder. "Cest Ia
guerre," and Uncle Sam has placed a
stamp tax on almost everything in the
i drug store from castor oil to the
daintiest toilet waters, amounting to
i / cent on a purchase price OF 20
cents or fraction thereof.
The law, along with the soft drink
law went into effect last THURSDAY
and many people have been puzzled
because the druggist stuck stamps
: on their purchases and asked for pen

and includes all patent medicines ane
practically everything in the line o.
toilet articles except soap.
AS with other taxes Uncle Sam In
sists that the purchaser must pay
in addition to the selling price OF tn
: article. The druggist is not permit
