0NE-PRTCE PLAN
 FOR SEASON
Problem of Adjustment Put Up
 to Industry.

FsEYsYHAT the solution to the prob H lem of adjusting business KSEYAM conditions Is a function
 4A which industry itself mast
 undertake is reflected in the avalanche of replies received to a let ter recently sent out by the Lakewood Engineering Company, Cleveland, a reproduction Of a few of which are shown herewith.
 Believing that price is a most pc tent factor. this company announced its decision to make price periods of not less than six months, with a view of bringing about a common under standing between the producer or manufacturer and his consumer, and a definite establishment of confidence between the two.
 New Price Revolution.
 Irving Fisher, professor of political economy of Yale University, has writ ten an article which was presented to tbe governors and mayors confer ence at the White House in Washing ton. in which he said, Business men should face the facts. To talk rev erertIy of 1913-1914 prices is to speak a dead language today. The buyers of the country, since the ar1rishce, have made an unexampled attack upon prices through their waiting attitude, and yet price receSsions have been i2- significant"
 It is interesting to observe that many manufacturers think that prices must come down, including the price of labor, but they are ready to dem onstrate to you that their own prices cannot come down, nor can they pay lower wages. Almost everything they buy somehow costs twice as much as before the war and their labor is twice as dear. They cannot pay their labor if labor is to meet the increased cost of living. As a matter of fact when we investigate any individual one of the so called high prices we are likely to find that the individual price is not high, that it is not high relatively to the rest. Everyone seems to have lost the sense of value.
 In the review of history conditions before and subsequent to Q war, there is not one instance where prices have receded to a pre-war level. The dev- astations of this war have affected the United States less industrially than any other nation participating. Ire mendous demands created by the war have expanded production with conse-

a record of all Its transa ctions. Upon receipt of the farmers complaint the manufacturer looked up the previous sale to which the farmer referred. He found that such a sale had been made and that the farmer paid for the buggy not in money but with a ship ment of wheat. The manufacturer then replied to the farmer. giving q
 complete record of the transaction and he made this proposition: ''If you will ship to me for your new buggy the same amount of wheat you shipped

 It Is fact that the products of the farm can today be exchanged for be- tween 15 and 30 per cent more of manufactured articles than ever be- fore.
 In the face of prosperous conditions obtaining in the retail stores of the country, the situation is somewhat diff ficuIt to analyze On the other hand, these merchants are not replenishing their supplies, manufacturers are not buying their raw materials, foreign buyers in this country are holding back the orders which they came to place, awaiting a settlement of condi- tions, in the belief that there may be some recession in prices.
 Action Necessary.
 The only economic solution for the problem of unemployment tbe only way to obviate further unemployment is to overcome the present inertia by bringing into activity the enormous potential buying power, which we all know exists.
 Judging from replies to the suggest ed lone price for the season plan," industry itself intends to overcome this inertia The replies come from every conceivable industry and from every state in the Union and they were 9o.4 in favor of doing for them selves without waiting for someone else to set the pace.
 It Is the purpose of the National Prosperity Campaign. an organization with its headquarters at the ComIno- dore Hotel in New York, supported by members of industries. to further this spirit through the trade and business press of the country.
 The only way for business to have people know what Is good for busi- ness Is to take the people into its conn- dence and get them thinking and net ing on those things which are good for business on the theory and good sense that whatever is good for business is good for the people as whole and that whatever Is good for the people Is also good for business.

GERMAN FAMILY LOSSES

Berlin, Aug. 21.-(Correspondence
OF the Associated Press. s.)-Belated
news of the losses incurred by German
families and organizations military
and civilian, as it is verified, is be-
ing placed in the newspapers in the
form of obituaries
The Baron Won Wagenheim family
recalls it's dead in great black
bordered advertisement in which are
named twenty-five members of the
family have fallen for the Fatherland,
all except two of them officers.
Similarly the family of Baron Won
Puttkamer, little known in Germany
and not as large d family as the
Wagenheim announces the loss of
nineteen members, ranging from non
commissioned officers 70 lieutenant
colonel.
Individual regiments, divisions and
naval units ,are daily letting their in
dividual losses be known, and. they
make a formidable appearance, and at
test, to the bitter. severity Of the war
In this connection it is interesting
to note estimate of the ministry Of
finance about the cost Of the war to
Germany. 1t amounts to about $36-
5OO,O0O,O0O, according to the peace
time rate Of exchange.
