The reason people are paying eight
cents for a small apple is not the
scarcity of the apples. but it is be-
cause those who have the apples
stored presume upon the credulity of
the people who walk up and pay
the eight cents for an APPLE rightly
worth even at war prices less than
onc-fourth the amount. If the people
will stop for one week the habit of
purchasing apples at exorbitant
prices and the holders find that the
people are not going to pay the price,
there will be plenty of apples on the
market. There are many other
things besides apples to which the
same truth applies.-Tennessean
