THE PRICE OF COLLARS.

The collar manufacturers of Troy, New York
have been attacked without, they say, an oppor-
tunity to present their side of the situation as
it exists in their industry, and In this emery
lency they have called to their aid as spokesman
defender Joseph Mckay, president of the As
ISOLATION of Collar Manufacturers. The I'M
mediate cause of the furry in the Troy col
lar industry is the action of the St. Louis fair
price commission in advising the retail dealers
there against paying more for collars than two
dollars and twenty-five cents per dozen, when
the established selling price by the manufac-
turers is two dollars and forty cents per dozen.
In defense of the manufacturers, Mr.. Mckay
says: collars are being made today from
goods purchased months ago, while the replace
1nent value is much higher, in fact, textiles used
by us are today selling at higher prices than at
any time during tie war. 1t would therefore
appear that the attack on the wholesale prices
made by the ST. Louis fair price commission
and other bodies throughout the country is un-
reasonable, unwarranted and not based upon
the facts relating to the cost of manufacture.
A RATHER disngenuous plea, when 1t IS known
that the greatest collar making concern In the
country, which is located right in the city of
Troy and has branch manufacturing houses III
many cities throughout the United States and
In Canada, sets forth In its report for 1919 that
its gross business for that year was over thirty
two million dollars, an increase OF ten millions
over the preceding year. Its net profits were
upwards of five millions lest year as against
less than two millions the year before, and the
surplus rose from three hundred thousand dol
lars in 1918 TO over five and half millions IN
the year just closed. Present prices and pre-
dictions indicate that 1920 will be red letter
year Of prosperity for the collar manufacturers;
and it seems sometimes as If there Were no limit
to the impositions the American people viii
stand.

School Election Joke.

Exchange: Down at the little city
of Panora live a few fellows who be-
lieve in getting real joy out of both
life and politics. Last week only two
candidates had led for the school
board, both Of whom were candidates
for reelection. Along during the af-
ternoon there was a sudden interest
on the part of big bunch of voters,
SO much that the election Judges
were at a loss to account for 1t, The
candidates concluded there was an eff
fort to shelve them, ano their friends
were hurriedly solicited to get TO the
polls. The real facts cropped out
along toward evening that some prac-
tical Joker had started movement to
beat the two men with their wives as
candidates. and until the polls closed,
there was considerable excitement.

PUSSc WILLOW.
Almost before the has gone
Mile yet the clouds are chilly,
Before the crocus blooms again
Or spring awakes the lily;
A gentle herald meets eyes.
Her barque has crossed the billow.
And here, with touch of glad surprise,
We hail the pussy willow.
A pleasant harbinger Of love,
She dares the bandit buster
OF winds that hurry here and there
At Marchs furious muster.
Full soon well hear the biuebirds note
Full soon in sunny weather,
Shall sweet, delicious perfumes float;
Wen all be blithe together.
The pussy willow leads the band,
merry throng comes after.
With song and wing and dear delight,
With childhoods happy laughter.
The earth that late was fast asleep
Has turned upon her pillow.
The JOY of those who and reap
Thrills in the pussy willow.

GET THERE. ELL"

Those were good days when everybody rode
la bicycle and had good time doing It. The
neglect Of the bicycle is not much due tc
foolish desire for speed or to mere physical lazl-
ness as to the much longer distances now to be
lowered to get where one wants to go.
There is something in this reasoning. And
it causes reflection about this same sort of mo-
tive operating in other things and contributing
ito many present day tendencies. Perhaps a lot
of modern wild men are not wild because of
savagery, but simply because they despair Of
what they want to get except by speeding up
the processes of change. Impatience has play
ed more OF a part In human mistakes than most
people realize. However desirable goal
sought may prove, its blessings are lost to peo-
pie who suffer and cause disaster in reaching it,
Then, too, goal is always more ore less prob.
lematical until it is reached; too often it is a
good deal of mirage. Good steady progress
with comfort, safety and plenty of real enjoy
ment is better than any speed mania methods.
The bicycle was good vehicle. 1t got over the
ground; it cost little for locomotion; it promot-
ed interest in that locomotion because it entail
ed physical exertion to cause this. 1t did not
often result fatally to rider or walker.
We probably shall not go back to the bicycle
in such numbers as formerly. We are more
likely to 90 up in the air We are more inter-
ested in getting to point than in enjoyment or
benefits to be had ON the way. But, just the
same, speed has its dangers and it's temptations,
from which may easily come evils that are not
compensated for by reaching any goal.
Mr.. Bryan advocates change in the rules of
the United States senate SO that majority
can close debate and compel vote. Unfortu-
nataely for Mr. Bryan, he could not bring such
a change about even if elected president, for the
senate, under the constitution formulates it's
own rules. But the remark shows the Peerless
One TO be quite as much Of an autocrat as the
present occupant Of the white house. To Mr.
Wilson minorities are nuisance which must be
tolerated under our present laws, but the views
of which do not deserve a moments consider.
alton at the hands Of the party in power. Mr..
Bryan would throttle senate minorities, EN-.

their own dictates in the form of an immediate
vote.

TODAY-AND AFTER YOU ARE
EnDu,yr

A mans greatest creative work
should be done after he is forty. Be-
fore that he is but laying the founda-
ton for the structure which shall be
Indicative of all that he is able to be-
1t is significant that the majority
who have not built strong founda-
ton by the time they are forty are
the ones to whom failure and disap-
pointment come.
Some of the most successful men
indeed probably a majority-do not
attain great renown until after that
age. But they are at school and at
work before that.
There is a feeling among a large
majority that if they are earning well
and having a good time in their thir-
ties, they have little to worry about.
But statistics show that these same
men ten years later are the ones who
are regretting and complaining of their
Ilot-and ten years later still become
largely dependent upon others.
The time to build and to save IS
before you are forty!
Then with your ripened knowledge
and experience you may expand, grow,
and enjoy as well. The time for rest
is when your work is finished-speak-
ing in the larger sense Tho to the
real producer, his work is never fin
ished But case and pleasure loom
great as a man builds well.
Save as you go, both in money and
strength. You will need them both
after you have passed your forty
mark.
Have an account at SOME bank to
which you keep adding something
reguIar ly. Take systematic exercise
every day. Get your full eight hours
of sleep-and go to it unworried:
Read, absorb, have sound friends and
keep them. Carry an insurance policy
as big as you are able. in favor of the
ones nearest and dearest to you. And
keen educating your heart all the
time.
Then from forty on, you will be
worth while to the woodland to
yourself.

WAITING ON POLITICS.

1t looks as tho the country will be
compelled to wait for a budget system
and a revision of the revenue law un-
I'll after the presidential election. Our
system OF government and politics is
such that in only about two years out
Of every four can any important legis-
iation be expected except in emer-
gency. Party leaders fear to act with
IN year preceding a auadrennial cleo
lion and the congress chosen at that
election as a rule does not meet until
a year later.
Public economy calls for. lower
taxes and a more scientific method.
Undoubtedly the most urgent need of
the hour is the repeal of the excess
profits tax and the substitution of a
consumption tax or a tax on sales. In
a recent report the New York cham
Der OF commerce mentions a manufac-
turer who stated that his corporation
In one year paid to the government
taxes in a sum more than double the
nominal profits retained by the com
pany. more than five times the sum
distributed in dividends TO the inves-
tors whose capital is utilized. and
nearly two-thirds, the sum distributed
in wages 10 the company's employees.
But the worst feature OF the excess
profits tax is the manner in which it
raises the cost Of living and invites
profiteering. No one is simple enough
TO believe that the nominal tax payer
actually pays the tax. He merely
