About "StvIe."

To comprehend the real ugliness of "style" we have only to study out of date fashion plates. Women them selves say How could we have made such guys of ourselves" The answer is, 1t was "the style" and everybody did 1t. One of human natures idiosyn- crasies is sensitiveness. We may not value the opinion of the person who smiles or sneers at our dress, may know ourselves the superior in intei- lect and position, but we resent or feel hurt by the tacit criticism. Thus we pay tribute to convention as estab- nshed by "style."

acre of anthracite there are 4,000,-
900 acres of land that do not contain
anthracite. This geologic fact places
great monopoly power in the hands
of every anthracite owner. Add to
this the successful business ventures
that have eliminated in the concen-
tration of the anthracite acres under
the control of very small group of
in terests, and the monopoly picture
is complete.
Monopoly underlies the present
day form of economic life. Private
ownership of productive processes is
monopoly, and almost the entire pro-
ductive machine, in the United States
is in private hands. Against these
serried ranks of monopoly interests,
interests, and the monopoly picture
ent Congress, the prosecutions pro-
posed by the present Attorney Gen
eral and the speeches of the Presi-
dent are as ineffective as the beat
ing of hail against the rugged breast
works of the Palisades.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1919-08-29

sents the monopoly power that at
taches to the ownership of resource,
limited in amount and generally de-
sired by the community.
The owner of the 5000 acre tract
may decide not to sell his land. In
stead, he may make stipulation that
for each ton of coal dug from the
mine he is to receive 10 cents. From
that time on, and as long as the
property is producing coal, this own
er of 20-cent hunting lands will be
receiving a handsome income from
the mining of coal. The owner, for
no reason other than his ownership,
is able to share in the products of the
land to which he holds title.
Wherever there are two pieces of
land wanted by three men, the owner
of each piece of land will be able to
command a price for his land.
Anthracite land owners have mo-
nopoly power because they own the
anthracite land. The continent is so
arranged geologically that for every

a year. From this $1,000 he deducts
interest and taxes. The remainder is
monopoly profits.
All returns, which come from land,
because of it's location or because of
it's natural fertility in soil, minerals,
or other resources ,are monopoly re-
turns. Much of the return on anthra-
cite coal falls in this class.
The supply of anthracite coal in
the United States is very limited.
The demand for it is widespread.
The owner of anthracite coal land
can set price that will represent
the difference between competitive
conditions and the consolidated own
ership of the anthracite coal field.
So absolute is the monopoly powe.
that is inherent in the ownership of
natural resource, limited in supply
that the owner of piece of anthra-
cite coal land may receive, for his
bare ownership, a price in proportion
to the amount of coal that his land
contains. This is true without any
reference to the conditions unGer
which the land was obtained.
Thus, for example, a man has gono
into the mountains and bought
tract of cleared land. The timber
has been cut off; the hills are rugged
and precipitous; the valleys narrow
and unfertile. Some day the land will
be reforeSted. Meanwhile it lies fal-
low, prey to the periodic forest
fires that sweep off the underground
and prevent the development of a
good growth of timber. This land
sells for 20 cents an acre.
The owner feels that he has a bar
gain-$1, 900 for 5000 acres of land.
He builds hunting lodge, posts "No
trespassing" signs, and spends few
days winter and summer hunting and
fishing.
A geologist, in making a survey of
the region, discovers anthracite on
the tract. The land has not changed
in its makeup for a million years,
and yet, no sooner is the discovery
of this coal made known than the
owner of the hunting lodge is asking
500 an acre for the land that was
cheap at 20 cents only yesterday.
What is the explanation Under
this land there lies a vein of coal.
People want it. They are willing to
pay well for it, and the land owner,
because he is the owner, is able to
sell for $500,000 a tract that cost him
81 1000 The difference in value repre-

MONOPOLY

Enthusiastic politicians who are
advocating the reduction of living
costs by means of criminal prosecu-
tions, statutes, and corporation Ii
censes should get down their eco
ncmic textbooks, dust them, and eX-
anime the sections that deal with the
question of monopoly. A little study
and reflection should easily convince
them that what is wanted, at the
present time in the United States,
is not new shingles or new rain
spout, but a complete overhauling
and replacing of beams, struts and
girders.
Monopoly power is the power to
fix prices above cost or competitive
level. Any advantage that enables
"a person to put prices above the COM
petitive basis, is monopoly ad-
vantage, or as it sometimes is called,
a special privilege.
The private ownership of natures
stores-fertile land, timber, coal, ore,
water-power-i the greatest single
monopoly with which society must
deal Were there enough land for
everyone, and some to spare, land
ownership would not be a monopoly.
Other natural gifts like air and sun
shine exist in such quantities that all
people have an ample supply Of them.
Could air or sunlight be privately
owned and limited in amount, they
would afford monopoly power as
great as that Of land.
The monopoly of air and sunshine
has proved impossible hitherto, but
land can be fenced in. Unlike air
and sunshine, there is no difficulty
in fixing the boundaries of land
ownership.
The monopoly power of land own
ership may be seen in a growing city.
Near the commercial center lies a
vacant lot. Each year the owner of
that lot learns, from the assessors
books and from the sales of neigh
boring properties, that his land has
increased $100 in value. His taxes
and the interest on his investment
are but $50 year, so that the rise
in value gives him clear $50 mono
poly profit One day a storekeeper
offers to rent this lot for twenty
years, and put a store on it. The
owner consents, and for the granting
of that privilege, he receives $1,000

Keep Your Hair
and Scalp Clean

If you want good healthy growth
Of hair care should be used in keep
ing the scalp clean, free of dirt, dust
and dandruff Do not use cheap
soaps or shampoos that contain too
much alkali as they are liable to dry
the scalp and make the hair too brit
tie. For steady use the best thing
is kremola, liquid which you can
secure at almost any drug store. 1t is
very cheap as four ounce bottle
will be sufficient to last family for
several months.
To cleanse the hair and scalp
thoroughly simply moisten the hair
with water and rub in the kremola
One or two teaspoonfuls will make a
rich, creamy lather and it is very
easily rinsed. The hair dries quickly
and evenly and leaves it fine, bright,
fluffy and easy to care for.-Adv.

MIKE 0'D0WD, REAL
FIGHTER, IS HERE
Only Ring Champion to Get to
France Meets Latzo at the
National Tonight
K. O.'ED Mccoy FOR TITLE
BY LOUIS ii. JAFFE

Michael O'Dowd, sergeant engineers,
L. s. A., A. f.. F., hOnorably dis
charged. will make his first appearance
before a Brothcrly Love audience since
he carefully camphored awar his suit of
khaki after returning from the Big Bat
tie over there. O'Dowd is to show his
middleweight championship wares to-
A. A. with Steve Latzo. of Hazleton,
as the party of the second part.
O'Dowd, who halls from st. Paul, is
real fighter. He has proved this be
yond shadow of doubt in the twenty
four foot battlefield, and the 1rishman
made it unanimous when he pushed
aside his midaleweight diadem, jumped
into soldicry garb and went overseas
to help knock the crown from the brow
of the strafng 'Gott nit uns' kaiser,
the bull, now defunct
Mike Boxing Well
While Mike was in France he boxed
very little; in fact, the champion took
part in only two or three exhibitions.
This Law off during the war however.
apparently failed to slow him up. In
one of his very first bouts on his return
to the land of the free and the home of
thc brave O'Dowd met Jack BrittOn,
welter king. And Mike beat the clever,
foxy, shifty Britton, who several months
previously had been given victory over
Benny Leonard here.
While Mike is a middleweight and
Jack is a welterweight. there was very
| little difference in weight, as Ol)owd
really is a small man for the 13S- pound
class. For his bout with Brltton, when
was staged at Jersey City, Mike
weighed in at 154 pounds. That night
it was said that Britton scaled l4e
pounds.
X. O.'s Mccoy for Title
O'Dowd won the middleweight cham
pionship by knocking out Al Mccoy
Of Brooklyn. in six rounds in New York
November IA, 1917 The latter was
familiarly referred to as the "Chees'
Champion, because he showed bu'
mediocre class after putting George
Chip to sleep in one round with
punch. said to be a tluke, April IA
after several others had faled in tn,
attempt - including Chip - experts
throughout the country were unani
nous in the belief that the change il
the championship would be an incen
tive for a lot more interest in tn,
middleweight division.
But. it was snort time afte
O'Dowd had dethroned Mccoy that h
became one of millions to 60 afte
Wiihelm's crown. Mike was the onl,
boxing champion who got into th'
worlds war with both feet; be was tn
lone title holder to get to France
Hence, aspiring middleweights had to b
rontented until "finis" was written a
the conclusion of La Crosse Guerre
And now that it has been all owe
over there. O'Dowd again has his hand
gloved for competition against any an
all who dispute his reign on the 1853
pound throne.
There isn't much class, that is froI
a clever point of view, to O'Dowd'
boxing, but he is fighter. And b
usually makes the other guy fight
whether he wants to or not,
