ing to Wall street financiers.
A correspondent of the United
Press interviewed several Of the big
gest bankers Of the country to ask
them for their ideas on the high cost
Of living. Though the financial mer
refused to allow their names used
they were free in their opinions.
The general concensus is that the
man who starIsa the war is respon
sible. People who are suffering
now are paying merely their part ol
the bill for making the world free
for democracy, in the opinion of fl
nanciers.
Present Situation Natural.
"The present situation is the nat
ural one after five years Of destruc
ton and non-production," explained
one prominent Wall street man, "The
world is short of food and clothing
and supplies Of all kinds. America
is short because it has shipped 50
much to Europe, and because it il
not producing enough.
High prices are the result of q
shortage on the market Legisla-
tion and agitation will not lower
prices permanently or to any extent.
AS soon as we begin to produce
more, so that the surplus on the mar
ket causes competition for sale, pric-
es will come down. Until we produce
more, and until Europe produces
more, prices will remain high
Wall Street Not Surprised.
"Wall street is not surprised at
the very high prices and the unrest
all over the country. The financial
interests anticipated and expected
this trouble, Similar disturbances
have occurred after every war Of
Importance. Look back at the per-
lod following the Civil war The on
ly difference is that the present cat
astrophe is greater than any previous
one, and will be more difficult to
re-adjust"
The bankers interviewed were not
in sympathy with the agitation and
legislation in Washington. Wall street
considers it an ineffective way of
feeding the hungry and generally ac-

Money invested in other industries
rather than in railroads, yield better

may account for the fact that much
of the railroad stock of the country
is held elsewhere than in Wall street.
If there is fight to prevent the
railroads from going permanently to
government ownership, it must be in
congress and by congress, say rail-
road executives, who deny that they
have any plans for publicity cam
paigns They say they think the rail
roads will be much betetr managed
in private hands, and will give bet

Executives are better paid and
have greater opportunities in other
industries" say railroad men, who
explain their presence at their posts
by the statement that they like the
work. However, they could not work
for the salaries the government would
pay, they add.
The railroad men through the as
sociation of railway executives, com
prising practically all of the railroads
OF the country, have suggested to con

get better pay and shorter hours.
However, they feel that the latter
will never be accomplished with gov

OF production, unless an annual def

On Sunday afternoon, Sept IL,
1919, occurred the most sensational
tragedy in buttons history, when
Miss Mary Alaine Brock, age II
years, supposedly took her own life
by shooting herself. After short
call at a ner neighbors, about three
o'clock. she returned home and was
found two hours later by her brother
George Brock and fiance, George
Godfrey Of Binger, with bullet
wound in her chest and a pistol on
the floor at her feet indicating that
she sat on the edge of the bed and
fired the fatal shot, dying instantly.
The other members of the family
had been away from home since II
o'clock that morning without +
thought of impending sadness s.
soon to envelop them, as there was
no apparent reason for the young
ladys rash act. She was of an emo
tional nature and at times seemed
gloomy, especially since her fathers
death two years ago and had made
remarks showing the trend of her
mind, but no one took them seriously.
Two neighbor children who were
playing near, heard the graphanola
playing Nearer My God to Thee,
a selection of which she was very
fond but which always distressed
her and the pistol shot as did an
adult member of this family but
since they heard no other sound they
didn't dream of harm.
Miss Brock was the daughter of
Mrs. E. S. Brock and has lived here
since infancy, was beautiful girl of
very pleasant disposition. She was
an extremely home lover and very
devoted to her mother, who has been
in bad health for some time, always
showing great anxiety for her broth
ers and sisters. She leaves to mourn
her loss four sisters: Mrs. Matt
Sankey, of Chickasha, Mrs. Carl Horn
barger of Atlantic, Iowa, Mrs. Albert
Shockey and Thelma Brock and three
brothers, Calvin, George and Charlie
Brock of Dutton.
After brief funeral services at
her home Thursday afternoon in
which Rev. Moorehead, pastor of
Baptist church in Minco, offered
words of sympathy and members of
the Pocasset choir sang appropriate

cssket covered with lovely flowers,
was laid away beside the dearly
loved father. All Dutton sympathize
deeply with the bereayed relatives.

the memorial which the American people
ultimately dedicate to Theodore Roose-

himself, 1t must be dynamic. Roosevelt
