country. Land today in the South is
selling far below its value. A few
years hence people vii! realize that
tho price ut which land is being sold
today is a mere hagatelle. The South

HERWOOD LEADS

.LeGrande, 290.
Mr.. Sherwood got 1.54S votes in
Horny, his home county, and the fact
that his county polied one of the

that condition. The people out where:
the fields are green are obeying the
law because it is the law while IN

that prohibition can be evaded. We
will show them differently"
Mr.. Palmer expressed the opinion
that the chief offenders against the

saloon keepers who. have maintained
their organization intact in the hope
of the raising Of the war time ban

PRICES BEGIN.
MING TO DROP
Government Effort Already Is
Having Influence

Washington. Aug. 27.-Prices are
beginning to turn downward in va
rious parts of the country hut the
slump has not yet gathered momen-
tun1 sufficient to affect purchases be-
ing made for immediate use, accord
ing to reports to the department Of
justice.
Attorney General Palmer asked to-
day how soon results could be expect
ed from the campaign to reduce the
cost of living. the outcome of which
railroads employees request to await
pressing demands for wage increases
fair chance to show what could be
said all the government wanted was
dore to take the artificial imitation out
of the market. He said officials were
we'll pleased with the success so far
attained and that cumulative results
were expected when congress enacts
amendment to the food control law.
by which criminal penalties can be
imposed on profteers and hoarders.
We hope the public will begin TO-
reap the benefit OF, our efforts before
long" Mr Palmer said. For instance,
we are making progress in obtaining
promises from shoe manufa cturcrs as
to fixing a limit beyond which prices
shall not go.
Propaganda, which apparently is
nationwide, on the part Of shop keep
ers seekinS to induce purchasers now
on the pretext that prices will be nla-
terially higher next season. was con-
dcmncd by Mr.. Palmer as one certain
thing which would make prices con-
tinue rising if needed. His attention
was called to advertisements in va
rious papers in which it was stated
that straw hats, clothing, and other
non-perishablc articles should be
bought before next years prices be-
como effective.
"It is very unfortunate that some
merchants take that attitude and we
have been studying the situation" the
attorney general said. Extensive
purchases now. reducing the supply
and increasing the demand, would
make their predictions come true,
whereas we hope for normal price
level if the people do not stampede
into a buying hysteria.
