CABINET OFFICERS PRESENT NEED
FOR GREATER PRODUCTION AFTER
STUDY Of HIGH COST Of LIVING
Council of National Defense Urges Economy in Consump
ton and Maximum in Production to Meet Crisis Result
ing From Wars Waste
United States Council of National De,

United States Council of National De.
fense, Washington. A Statement
Concerning the High Cost of Living.
To the Public
The United States Council of Ma
tional Defense, composed of the sec
retaries of War, Navy, interior, Agri
culture, Commerce, and Labor, has
made careful investigation of the
high-cost-of-living problem, and finds:
That the nations productive powers
have not been fully utilized since the
armistice. That too few goods, nota-
bly, the necessities of life, have been
produced, and that even some of these
goods have been withheld from the
market, and therefore from the peo-
pie.
That the high cost of living is due
III part to unavoidable war waste and
increase of money and credit. That
there has been and is considerable
profiteering, intentional and uninten-
tiOnal
The council believes that the rene
dies for the situation are:
To produce more goods, and to pro-
duce them in proportion to the needs
of the people.
To stamp out profteering and stop
unnecessary boarding.
To enforce vigorously present laws
and promptly to enact such further
new laws as are necessary to prevent
and punish profiteering and needless
boarding
To bring about better cooperation
and method in distribution and mar
keting goods.
To keep both producer and con-
sumer fully informed as to what goods
are needed and as to what supplies are
available, so that production may an
ticipate the country's demands.
Goods and not money are the means
Of life. Better standards of living are
impossible without producing more
goods. Man can not consume what
has not been produced.
At the wars end our allies had des-
perate need of the essentials Of life
We have had to share our resources
with them, but this drain will gradu-
ally lessen. In SO far as our shortage
Of goods is due to this cause we can
yUn11 offOr6 fo ho notiont
1t is just as essential that we have
patience with the economic situation

! here at home. The process of produc-
/ ton requires time. If production is
rapidly increased, vastly improved
conditions will prevail in America
when the results of present and future
labor begin to appear.
Team work is imperative. 1t is Just
as essential between retailer. whole
saler and producer as it is between
employer and employe. One group
OF producers can not wait on another
group. The manufacturer, the farmer.
the distriLltor must each Immediate
ly assume his part Of the burden and
enter upon his task. The nation can
not afford curtailment of goods vital
to the people.
On American business rests a grave
responsibility for efficient cooperation
in bringing about full and proportion
ate production. On American labor
rests an equally grave responsibility
to attain maximum unit production
and maintain uninterrupted distribu-
tion of goods if labor itself is not to
suffer from further rises in the cost
Of living.
The entire nation-producer, distrib-
utor, and consumer alike-should re-
turn to the unity that won the war
Group interest and undue personal
gain must give way to the good of the
whole country if the situation is to be
squarely met.
Our common duty now, fully as
much as in the war is to work and to
save. In the words of the president
in his address to the country on Au-
gust 25, 1919, only by increasing pro-
duction, and l'y rigid economy and
saving On the part of the people, can
we hope for large decreases in the
burdensome cost of living which now
weighs us down."
Work, save, cooperate, produce.

Bonds
Good Buy At
Present Prices

We are asked to tell our readers not
to sell their Liberty Bonds.
We suggest that they BUY MORE at
current market prices.
At current market prices the bonds,
exclusive of the first 3 1-2's yield from
4.45 to 40 per, cent. Considering the
fact that all these bonds contain tax
exemption features, this yield is un,
usually high.
Finally, the prospect that the bonds
will go to a premium, estimated at
from SIS to SIS, within the next five
years, puts these bonds into the bar
gain class.
We are of the opinion that contin-
ual hammering on the idea of Keep
Your Bonds" and "Do Not Sell Your
Bonds" has caused the public to be-
come suspicious.
1t is the old question of the mega
tive and positive idea. Just before
leaving home parents used to warn
their children not to put beans up
their noses, and of course, the first
thing the children did was to look for
the bean bag.
Liberty Bonds are better invest
ment today than during the war. If
there ever was any question about the
ability of the United States to liqui-
date it's debt that fear has now van
ished. At the rate taxes are now be-
ing collected, the government will be
able to pay off the bonds at the earl
lest maturity dates.
In the interest of public welfare, the
government could we'll afford to in
augurate a campaign to encourage
people to take advantage of the pres
ent market and buy more bonds

Sunday morning the two and half
year-old baby daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Earl G. Clemans passed away
after an illness of two weeks dura-
ton. Everything that could he was
done in the hope of saving this little
life, DR.. Palmer of Mesa being called
in consultation, but all efforts proved
fruitless and the little one passed
away, and was inferred at Mesa on
Monday. The grief-stricken parents
have the deep sympathy of all their

well as in Mesa, where there are other

UNCLE SAM PAYS
s. YR. OLD BILL

The other day Uncle Sam paid a
bill that was SO years overdue.
A check for the amount $15-was
sent to Fenwick McCloud of Clear
field, Pa, a son of the man to whom
it should have been paid.
McCloud's father was chaplain in
the United States army during the
Civil War. He set in motion the red
tape-bound governmental machinery
for the collection of the SIS which he
claimed was due him from the govern
ment. He never got it, for he died six
years later.
Anyone who has had any experience
with officials and bureaus in army cir
cles knows that communications and
claims and requests must go far be-
fore they are acted upon.
They must make the rounds, receiv-
ing stamps and recommendations and
o. KS, and gather voluminous ap-
pended correspondence before they
finally end their wanderings.
The heirs of Chaplain McCloud de-
cided to carry on. At last, after 47
years, the bill was paid, after the
claim had passed through the hands
of officials in eleven and three-quar-
ter administrations.
And SIS today will buy about half
as much as it would '53 years ago!

Viii Copper
Prices Fall?
Views Differ

BOSTON. Copper prices must
drop until consumption again exceeds
production" says an unusually well
informed man in the copper trade
Heavy forward buying in June and
July caused surplus to decrease com
pared to Jan. 1. Nuw surplus is in.
creasing again. Yet certain important
companies are increasing production
and speculatively held copper is caus.
ing owners concern. No buying worthy
the name has come from Europe for
weeks. Spanish and Australian pro-
duction and scrap are caring for her
current requirements. Prices must
go still lower in my opinion in order
to stimulate consumption l am re.
ducing mine. The big producers will
find themselves forcved to do like
wise''
Producers who control only so per
cent of the output can not regulate
prices when consumption is abnormal
ly low, says another high up in the
trade. Scrap return alone is from
II IL to Is per cent of total copper
consumption in normal times. When
consumption is diminished as much as
at present the proportion must be
large. Similarly the output of the
smaller mines becomes of great impor-
tance.
..'Too much government brass is on
the market for brassmakers to be ex-
pected to buy new copper for some
time to come. Adverse exchange pre-
vents foreign buying here just now
Domestic wire mills promise to be the
only consumers for some time. Yet
domestic labor and other conditions
are not especially encouraging.
when such conditions prevail, wire
and brass makers are inclined to sit
tight and to fill their needs by clean
The amount of metal that becomes
tied up in a large brass or wire mill is
enough to run the plant for weeks if
the cleanup be thorough Consumers
can meneuver a metal market just as
effectively as producers, especially at
times of diminished consumption. I'm
less domestic and foreign demand in
crease greatly in the next few weeks
expect copper prices to go down."
On the other hand large producer
says: Appearance of considerable
weak copper does not change my opin-
ion in the least. Small mining COM
panies are quoting metal at Fl IL
cents. But the much referred to spec
ulatively held copper that is coming
on the market is greatly magnified by
selling over and over again of the
same warehouse receipts. A price Of
% IL cents pound for copper is not
excessive compared with present
prices of other commodities or wage
levels Everyone admits that the
world needs copper badly. Yet sales
do not increase with this decrease in
price. In my opinion the steel strike
has delayed quantity buying of cop

Another illustration: Some years
ago, the late Cora Dow, Cincinnati,
owner of a group of cut-rate drug
stores, was sued by her retail com
petitors Cor a group of manufacturers
for selling certain items below a fixed
price.
She testified at the trial that there
was more money in selling Hoods
Sarsaparilla at Is cents than at a dol
lar bottle.
The judge, jury, the lawyers-no one
in the court room knew what she
meant
On further direct examination she
explained that Hoods Sarsaparilla cost
her SO cents a bottle wholesale.
That in one of her stores she sold
20 bottles to five bottles sold by her
competitors.
That they made only $3.50 on five
bottles in approximately the same
length of time that she made $500 on
20 bottles-twice as much as her com
petitors' profit, and all the while the
public was obtaining it's supply 25
cents cheaper per bottle.

aggregate of the fractional profit on
the number of pounds
It is what the average merchant
calls turnover"
It is a gigantic task to get the public
to understand this, particularly when
it is considered that even the average
merchant does not understand this
principle.
But an unprejudiced understanding
can, and must be, accomplished Il
will require time, persistency and
primer-like illustration.
Here is one illustration:
The most profitable item in a and
10-cent store is one on which there
is the smallest percentage of profit.
This is candy.
They only make 4 per cent net, but
they sell-turnover-their stock com
plete every week, SO times a year.
Now SO times per cent is 208 per
cent on the investment; yet the Gus
toners of these establishments pur-
chase their candy with profit of 4
cents on the dollar to the dealer, 2
cents on so cents, or less than one
half cent on 10 cents.
1t is all in the number of profits
not in the size of the individual profit

The place where it was found is about
a mile from the site Of a large Romano
British village. The coffin is 6 feet 8
inches In length its width varies from
l foot 6 inches to l foot 4 inches and
its depth is 1 foot Z inches. Large
iron nails AZ inches long indicate that
when inferred 1t had a wooden outer
covering, but that has persisted, as
