We all find it much easier to accommodate ourselves
to an increase of income than we do to a decrease.
The family that is not spending more on living
nowadays than ever before is the exception. You
may say "Of course, they have to-, if they live at
ALL" But if, they do not receive more to spend,
they certainly could not spend more.
A recent Federal Reserve Bank report states
that the public seems Indifferent to high prices
or seems to take the increase as a matter of course
and further declares that RECKLESS buying acts
directly to postpone the return of lower prices"
We need not blame the shop keeper that he makes
an attractive display of the new spring silks at
six dollars a yard and satiny velvets at from ten
to twelve a yard, elegant embroidered under-gar-
ments and night wear of filmiest crepe de chine;
of crepe de chene for men at twenty or twenty
five dollars; merchants seek to please their Gus
toners, therein lies success.
1t is a time necessitating the greatest prud-
ence, not alone in working and earning through
this time of prosperity but in laying by, in good
securities and Investments. In most cases this can
be done by exercising economy, by reducing waste
and by avoiding extravagant buying.
1t is the patriotic duty of every woman to rec
ognize her part in averting as long as possible, the
inevitable depression predicted by national econ
omists and in lessening that depression when it
does come by seeing to it that her household has
a nest egg laid away as security against suffer-
ing. If we are conscientiously obeying all of the
alarms; otherwise we may not, for the Light shed
mandates of thrift, we may affect to sheer at
bv the great Lamp of Experience would reveal
to him who is willing to read the signs that chan
ged conditions threaten the near future.

GREAT STRUGGLE
SAID TO BE ON
Between The United States And Great
Britain For The Markets OF
South America.
Associated Press

BUENOS AIRES, March 15-Some
en- a publicity campaign in what has
been referred to as "the great strug-
gle" between the United States and
Great Britain for the markets of
South America. especial kilograms
from London purporting to show that
the United States is losing her South
American markets, or otherwise dis
paraging the United States, have been
gratuitously distributed by a British
Advertising agency and have been
widely published in Argentine news
papers.
One of the kilograms was a criti-
cism Of Herbert Hoover for saying
that the European countries should
work more and ask less of the I'm
tied States" The telegram made a
comparison between the losses sus-
tanned by the European allies in the
war, particularly the British domin-
ions, as compared with those of the
United States and pointed out that
the losses of the European countries
had reduced their productive capacity,
whereas the United States had not
suffered at all economically.
Another of these Especial tele-
grams" quoted the President of the
British Board of Trade in London say
ing: 81 believe that the United States
is gradually losing the markets gain
ed when Germany was wiped off the
seas and while Britain was fighting
in the war. Britain is not only re
gaining, but is charging her markets
in South America and the Orient.
We are replacing Germany in Latin
American and supplanting the United
States in war markets.
The truth of this statement as far
as it concerned Argentina was immed-
lately challenged by the River Plate

SAVE AND HAVE

Thinking people, men of great affairs in the
nation, have been trying to arrest the reckless
extravaganza of spending that has been going on
all over the country; but the note of alarm seems
to pass unheeded by. Men and women,especially
women, continue to buy-not the usual garment
of previous days at the increased price,-but a
better and more expensive article until there
seems to be no limit.
We are a nation gone mad! Let us for a time
cease this continuous babble about profiteerlng;
whether the manufacturer is extracting an I'M
lust profit or the wholesaler and retailer charg-
ing too much; whether labor conditions or an I'M
der production is accountable for high prices or
whether it is, as more likely, a combination of all
of these things the undeniable fact remains "eV-
erything is high and the part of the purchaser is
to save himself as far as possible from the times.
This can best be done in the matter of clothing,
furnishings and everything of that nature by pur-
chasing as little as possible and that of the plain
substantial sort.
The times are abnormal and we must adjust
ourselves to conditions. We can not agree with
the tired looking shop woman who exclaimed
"And the worst of it is they tell us that conditions
will be no better in our life time; that prices are
to continue to go higher and higher. | don't see
what we are to do; we can't escape rent and food
Instead, a change is inevitable; when the pendu,
lum has swung to the extreme of the arc the re-
turn is sure to follow and the economic pendulum
sometimes swings back with surprising velocity

American "a weekly commercial mag
azine, which has published an inter
view from DR.. julius Klein, United
States Commercial attache.
Frankly" said DR.. Klien, I'D like
to know in what lines the British are
charging their South American trade
at our expense. The latest available
figures showed anything but a loss,
so far as our business in these mar
kets is concerned. Perhaps the pres
ident of the Board of Trade is referr-
ing to prospects for 1920, for which,
however, no figures are as yet avail
able, so far as | know.
Speaking in the light of the latest
statistics that we nave in hand-sta-
tistics which showed that we were
selling to Argentina approximately
one-third Of all the goods she buys
abroad-and from personal observa-
ton since then, there has been no in
dication of losses to American trade.
| have no doubt that we are going to
meet with good strong competition
from the British, but the inclination
of the American exporter seems to be
to say, come on; we're ready for it. "

The stories that come from the near
East rather relieve the Turks from
much odium. We have heard much Of
Turkish massacres, but now we are
hearing that when the Greeks, Bull
garianS, Armenians, and other COM
ponents of the former Turkish empire
get a chance they rival the Turks in
the atrocities they commit, says Balti-
more American. The Turks made mas
sacres to preserve a show Of peace
In the empire, while the other coun-
tries, as O as they got a chance,
paid off all old scores upon their neigh
bOrs. Just now the stories of Greek
atrocities are most in evidence.

mission to form an army of her own
of about 10000 men and such other
assistance in the way of credit as may
be supplied from private sources. "The
Armenians do no. want to be nursed,"
Mr.. Gerard wrote the senate. The very
fact that they do not want to be
nursed is an excellent guarantee of
creditable national achievement in the
future. Nursing only impairs the
sense of responsibility and inculcates
a feeling that whatever the difficulties
they involve themselves in, they have
only to call On someone else to ex-
tricate them, says st. Louis Post-Dis-
patch. If the Armenians, after centu-
ries of racial existence, cannot work
out their own salvation, now that they
are freed from oppression and given
their chance under the normal support
of the world, when will they be able
to assume a se~lf-respecting position?
