based on the deterioration OF service.
Today Il 10 matter Of common knowl-
edge that our railroads are handling
less business than a year ago; that,
despite the falling off In traffic. the
pay rolls are larger than In the days OF
private ownership by some eoo,ooo
men; that the 100000 railway en-
ployes are working fewer hours and
receiving very much larger pay than
ever before; that they are doing only
about so per cent Of the work actually
performed before the railroads were
taken over by the government

WHY PRICES ARE HiHH.

While scarcity and demand are the
prof1teer's opportunity prices are bound
to be high. We can not expect low
prices; but we can and should demand
that reasonable profits prevail. The
prohteer should be put down. Still
prices will remain high by comparison
with prewar conditions and prices.
There are reasons.
A world war prevented hundreds of
millions of people from producing for
themselves and set them to destroying
even those goods which had been pro-
duced. Buying food from us is merely
borrowing from our supply because we
are getting no goods in return, only
promises to pay. When we send to
Europe more food in month than we
ever sent in year before the war it
makes food scarce and high in this
country.
The same is true of shoes and Of
clothing and of automobiles. The
war stopped production in so large a
part &c Europe that all the rest Of the
world is being drained of everything
it has to divide up with those who
have failed to produce their own. Hay
is very high in Minnesota in spite of
bumper crop because the cattle men
in Montana are buying hay there to
ship to their drouth stricken ranches.
In the face OF world shortage Of
goods every class Of our people, flush
ed with high wages. high profts and
prosperous business, is trying to buy
goods Unfortunately. Automobile fac.
tories need no statesmen. Higher class
merchandise sells at the department
stores than ever before, everybody Is
employed and still there is more work
tnan workers twice over. We can !

4 HINT TO SPECTATORS.

Spectators in Wall Street received
has followed the revival of activity
last February. Industrial shares and
railway stocks both were hard hit
The bump was attributed to the de-
mand by the railway brotherhoods
and the disturbing effect of those de-
mands upon industry and capital.
However, 1t is explained in an analys-
is of the situation that easy money
had its influence and that the brother
hoods demands simply furnished the
check that must have come thru any
serious disturbance. The thing that
has come about before and always
comes to a period of speculation ar
rived. There is hint to spectators in
land in the stock market situation.
1t is explained that:
1t was predicted when the armistice
was signed last November that there
wouldSOe a sharp reaction in general
business TO allow readjustment from
a war to peace basis; that as a result
of such trade reaction there would be
a very large accumulation Of idle cap
ital and that employment for this idle
capital would be found temporarily in
the stock market. That is exactly what
did happen. with the result that re-
Gently a new high record has been es-
tablished on the stock exchange for
successive 100000 share days.
Within the last six or eight weeks
there has been a gradual recovery in
general trade. The money that was
used temporarily in the stock market
has been withdrawn. Besides the in
crease in business a record crop must
be harvested and marketed. AS has
happened many times before in the
autumn months after a prolonged per-
led &c stock market speculation CT
borrowed money, there has been a day
Of reckoning.
II it had not been the demands of
the four railway brotherhoods some
thing else would have happened unex-
pectedly to upset the calculations of
reckless spectators. SO much for the
stock market. AS for the latest devel-
opments in the railway situation. on

are expressing fear that troublesome
days are ahead.

OF course this was big fib, but
Aunt Matilda didn't know II and so she

her nose and head, the honey dripping

THIS is THE BIRTHDAY OF
Emma Eames,
Is IT YoURsr
Is 1T YOURS,
AUGUST 10, 1867.

Emma Eames. one Of our greatest
operate prima donnas, was born In
Shanghai, China. Her parents both
came from Maine. and her permanent
home is In that state.
Most of her childhood was spent in
Boston. and as her mothers family
had all been musical. she was given an
unusually thorough musical education.
Her voice showed remarkable quail
ties even when she was i child; but no
one guessed the great career that was
to be hers later.
When she was singing in a choir in
