REGULATING PRICES.

A Kansas town decided that eggs were selling at too high price, and that they should be regulated. So it was decided that eggs should not sell for more than fifty cents a dozen iii the place, no matter who offered them for sale or who wanted to pay more for them. Fifty cents dozen that was the price fixed, and it was absolute, and great was the rejoicing of the people at the time being, for they had been paying much more than that
 Today there are no eggs to be had in the town, at any price The egg producers simply wouldn't send their eggs to town where they sold for fifty cents when they could send them else where and get more-as simple pro- position as was ever heard of.
 The truth is, price regulation hasn't worked we'll anywhere. It has been war measure at times, and in the ex- agencies of war the countries regulat- ing prices have gotten along, in war way. But the regulation of prices the world over-if the regulation is other than through supply and demand-will not make for the happiness and pros perity of the people; not unless war is prevailing.-Southwe American

We Fiddle and Fiddle While home burns:
(By John 5. Capper.)

The world is hungry for the things we eat wear and use. Stark Hungry! The cupboard is bare as bone. Prices mount to staggering figures and the cry of our worker is-more pay; shorter hours-and then a shortage shoots the price of things up another notch again the cry-more pay; less hours.
 ve Gods; Must the vicious circle con tinue? Shall we never see that 1t IS more hours we need, that to reduce the cost of the things we use, we must produce not less but more?
 ) just received cablegram from my brother in London, reading: Market bare, prices awful hopeless, sailing home. Oh, if Americans would grasp their opportunity.
 Prices had gotten so high in this nothing to sell and their shelves are we sent two of our firm abroad, hoping tc find what we needed and at lower prices, The cable message is the answer! Merchandise is even shorter on the other side than here. They have nothing to seel and their shelves are bare. They want to buy-to buy from America-to buy the things that Americans make-and the answer of our worker is-reduce our hours-44 hours a week instead of 60-a cut in production of 25 per cent.
 The writer sympathizes with those who work. He understands what hard work, privation and the struggle Of life is-he has lived it. He has walk ed eight miles day to earn fifty cents. carrying water for the workers who built the town of Pullman. He has gotten out of bed at 800 o'clock to milk 5 COWS on a winters morning. He has put in 15 hours day in a store. He is not a natural born pluto crat; rather-he is the son of a steel worker. He feels that he knows the needs of those who struggle, but any one would be indeed foolish who failed to see that the waste of time by car penter, plumber or other workers in turn raised the price of rent, raised the price of the very clothes that he himself wore, and everything used by him or his fellow worker.
 Short hours in the city has made the farm worker restless; he, too, wants shorter hours and increased pay. May Kind Providence preserve us if farm workers ever insist on A hours per week, Or an eight-hour day. You and I. my friend, will go hungry, farm 800 acres and know what short hours in the city is doing for the farm.
 We may keep high wages, we may keep our present scale, and still re- duce the cost of living by a simple remedy-work-good, hard, honest faithful service-not hours rather 19 and then some. Let us for one year, at least, resolve to work, and work like ..........
