him. the merchant would be fdolish
to complain of the transaction.
It might be admitted that many re-
sailers make more profit on sales now
than they did three years ago. Why
should they not Everybody else Is
making more money. so; why should
the retail Clothing rnerchant be de-
MED his participation in. the general
prosperity? It cdsts him more, much
more. to live than it did three years
ago. How il. he;$to meet this In
creased expense >uniess he makes
more profits? This problem for the
retailer might be solved In part by a
greater volume of sales. but 1t is the
universal testimony that the tn
creased sales Of merchandise, as ex-
pressed In dollars and cents are due
to the. higher prices prevailing more
than. it is to the greater number Of
articles sold. 90 -.
At any rate, a retail merchant is
confronted by higher expenses in his
business all around, in addition to the
higher scale Of living made necessary
for his family by the present stand
ard of prices, and under such circura-
stances, there Is hardly anything he
can do except try to increase his
profits. If he doesn't, where will he
be? ~ q. 80 -
As for the manufacturer. it should
not be forgotten that, the clothing i'm
dustry is perhaps the most highly
competitive industry In the United
states today. Not even the most
populistic Representatives. in Congress
has ever charged that there was q
clothing trust The truth is that the
several Thousand manufacturers Of
clothing in the couHtry compete with
each other on almost every hand for
the patronage Of the merchants who
buy their product and sell 1t to the
consumer, and under . condition Of
free and untrammeled- competition
like this, it IL rather dinicult to see
how any but natural laws Of supply
and demand could govern this indus
try. 80 @,, -,.t.
Manufacturers have been confront
ed by, extraordinarily vexations and
difiicult situations in the way of la
bor costs, raw materials, transporta-
tiou, and other basic operating con-
ditions, to such an extent that it has
been next to- impossible to accurately
figure costs for any great length Of
time ahead. Several makers have
lost large. sums through making de-
liveries Of their goods at prices at
which orders were taken. while costs
In the interim mounted 80 much that
they could not turn out the clothing
at the prices named without loss.
Others. no doubt. have taken into ac-
count every possible contingency. and
made their prices; accordingiy, but
why attach blame to them for this,
especially, as they have no means Of
forcing their product upon dealers.
but must sell 1t In a free and open
market. in competition with other
manufacturers? -, =
All and all. the charge of profiteer-
ing against the, clothing industry has
an exceedingly slender basis Of truth,
IL indeed it has any at all. It would
appear that certain interests, who are
making q great outcry. more, 1t, 10
suspected, for the notice which it will
attract to themselves than for any
other purpose. will not get very far
nor prove very much along this line.

Unseun Advice.

The Department of Agriculture
makes this valuable contribution r to
the efforts toward reducing the cost
Of living: 1t advises the American
farmer to reduce his winter wheat
acreage Is per cent. from what it was
last year. his spring wheat acreage
by - per cent. and his rye acreage
by the same amount! When the
world Is crying for bread, when every
economist urges increased production
as the only remedy really effective for
restoring the economic balance upset
by the war, when the government
price fixed for wheat keeps up not
only wheat but also corn, rye, oats
and other grains. thereby holding up
the prices Of meat; eggs. butter. and
poultry. this department has the
temerity to advocate reduction of
grain acreage!
A proposal SO lacking in economic
wisdom OF the simplest sort must
have some other reason for being.
When the government price was fixed
it was understood to be an induce
ment to the farmers to plant more
wheat, to win the war. Even though
the war !, against Germany has
stopped, the war against famine has
not. and the war against high prices
has only ofaciaily begun. Why farm
ers should now be aathoritatively ad-
vised to reduce acreage is a puzzle. %
OF course there are advantages to
some people in maintaing high prices.

has had a strenuous career. Several

mediately after its capture it was
taken by the French Salvage Depart

months on the pier at Brest waiting
shipment to Boston. Arrived at Bos-

town Arsenal. where although ad-
dressed to Gov. Mccall, it remained
until Gen. Edwards again rescued it.
Hardly had 1t been set up on the
common when the Connecticut men
put in a claim for it, saying 1t had
really been captured by one of the
New Haven companies, B Co. Of the
1929. SO warm became the contro-

an excuse for claiming they had per-
