LETTER TO THE EDITOR
WORK OF CRANK

There seems to be 4 variety of
opinions and reasons advocated about
the daylight Saving Question" The
way it has always appeared to me
was that it was first thought of by
some "featherbarined" crank, that
knew that he could get fair follow
ing of his kind in the country ready
TO catch onto any fool fad that came
their way, even to- wear "overalls; )"
hardly brains enough to go to work
IAN hour earlier without having their
clock set ahead if it does put the
railroads in muddled condition. l
do not believe that it would make
any difference with the amount of
garden truck raised. ANY one that
wants to plant garden will evident
" have grey matter enough in his
brain to do it even if his clock should
stop.
Before the war there was so many
lender footed gentry in this country
chat WIS so filled with fear that they
would have to go into the service
where there would be danger that
Ghey were ready to catch on to any
fool thing handed to them, and the
government evidently took the lead in
about all the fool things that has hap
pened and instead of making laws to
establish maximum price to the
consumer of a fair price above the
normal with not more Il an two pro-
fits from the producer and that pro-
fit not more than ten per cent.
In that way we would not have had
the high cost of living, and any one
charging more than the regul + es-
tabishcd price, should get at least
twenty years prison service. That
would have been more like business.
But evidently the farmers knew what
we had ut Washington and stampeded
the whole country. And Congress
gave them almost three times the
/ normal price of wheat before the
war.
But don't know as we have any
reason 20 expect anything better at
this time. But there is some salts
faction to know that whatever hap
pens it will be an improvement on
the past.
| One thing that has queered me is
tnaC nelp Shoulu NC 81 seaiee ''iN
about four million men were turned
loose from the army and thousands
of others that We're employed on
army work, and prices also advancing
since the war closed. After the Civil
war closed prices dropped very soon
rs well remember. | would like to
have some of the experts tell US what
outside of the profiteers causes prices
to advance.
! do not believe that it is altogether
on account of me not setting my
clock ahead.

PRESS COMMENT
(BostOn GlObe) .
BEGIN AT THE SOURCE


There are apparently some officials
at Washington who think that they
can bring down high prices simply by
attacking the retailers. They arc
under the impression, possibly, that 1t
is the popular thing to get after the
men who actually sell to the public
everything it has to eat and wear.
Such a method will no more solve
the problem of high prices than
swatting mosquitoes solved the mala-
ria problem. Wise doctors go to the
source of trouble; wise officials
would do the same.
There are instances, of course, of
retailers who overcharge. But re-
tailers are not the group who make
high prices. They put the price
marks on cur groceries and our
clothes, to be sure, but they do not
determine those prices any more than
the man who plows a field of grain
sets the price of a loaf of bread.
Price schedules are largely deter
mined before the goods ever reach
the corner shop or the big store
where the public buys its goods
Manufacturers state their terms
which just at present time are likely
to be: "Order now; we'll tell you
the price when you get the goods
And because of a freight tangle
which makes the retailers business
more precalious than ever this
Spring, he doesn't even know when
he will get his goods.
Competition is more powerful than
any Government agency in deter
mining the retail prices. With scores
of stores in the same line of bust

Banquet rendered Princi-
pal and Mrs. Steward

Friday night, the 2Sth the Fair
banks Vocational school boys held a
banquet at the st. Johnsbury House
in honor of Mr.. and Mrs. H. J.
Steward.
For two years Mr. Steward has
labored hard in organizing the Vo-
cational school which the boys APP
preciated very much and as IA MAJ k
of their respect for him they gave
him this banquet.
At 8 o'clock "a boys were nssemb-
led in the tea room. They marched
in the dining room in double file.
Miss Smith, Mr.. Stewards assistant,
acted as hostess and Reginald Russell
as host.
The table was decorated with the
school class colors which are orange
and black. The centerpiece was a
black trip scale with the school en-
blem mounted upon it. From the
centerpiece to each place were orange
StreamerS.
A seven course dinner was served
and enjoyed by every one.
Mr.. Russell acted as toast master
and speeches were given by several
members of the class. Mr.. Steward
responded in very modest way to
them all. He told the difficulties he
had been working under and now at
the completion of the second year. of
the school things were recovering
very smoothly. He expressed hopes
of a very prosperous future for the
school and its graduates.
After the dinner all returned to the
tea room which had been set apart
for use during the evening. The boys
all brought some joke on some OF
their fellow pupils. These Jokes were
real and enjoyed greatly. Following
this we had a musical program.
At II o'clock the company broke
up. The boys gave three cheers Tor
MIR. and Mrs. Steward and wished
them the best of luck.

ness in every large city, competition
is the real weapon that stops pro-
fitcering in that quarter.
Somewhere back of the retailer,
beyond his control, are those who
dictate the price the public pays.
They, in many ways, conduct the re-
tailer's business for him--and gladly
leave him to take the blame for high
prices, because he is the only one
with whom the public comes in con-
tact.
But if the Government is sincere
in its effort to reduce prices it will
begin it's work nearer the source.
