PRICE OF ICE ADVANCED.
Greatly Increased Cost Of Fuel
Causes the Raise.

At meeting of the directors Of
the Donaldsonville Ice Company, Ltd,
held on the 18th instant for the pur-
pose of determining such action as
might be deemed necessary to meet
the situation arising from the great
increase in the cost Of fuel, it was
decided that an advance of twenty
cents per 100 pounds in the price Of
the company's product must be made
at once if the factory was to be con-
tinued in operation without incurring
such loss as would soon exhaust the
concerns resources and invite bank
ruptcy. It was found that the run
ming expenses had been increased be-
tween s75 and s100 per day, and
much as the directors regretted to
advance the price Of ice, there was no
other alternative to insure the main
tenance of the business and avoid the
still more disagreeable contingency
of shutting down the factory. Even
at the new selling figures it is doubt
full if the seasons work can be made
to show any appreciable balance in
the company's favor, hence the man
agement can conscientiously assure
the patrons of the ice company that
there is not the slightest element of
pro6teering in the advance Of prices.
On the contrary, it has been fixed al
the lowest rate possible under exist
! ing conditions.

PROFITEERING ON SHOES

The excuse made by the shoe
manufacturers and dealers that the
altitudinous price of shoes is due to
scarcity of hides and leather was
overturned by the figures recently
published by the Department of Agri-
culture showing increased stocks OF
hides and skins. Now the plea that
labor is largely to blame is refuted
by figures published in Capper's
Weekly.
A Primer on Shoe Prices, issued
by the Boot and Shoe Recorder,
shows that the factory labor cost of
a shoe in July, 1914, was 30 cents,
and that by July, 1913, it had in
creased to "a cents. Added to the
general factory labor expense, the
shoes must be buttoned, finished,
finished freed dressed and packed
In July, 1914, the total cost of this
work for one pair of shoes was so
cents; five years later it stood at
SLIP. These figures certainly do
not explain the enormous increase in
the price of shoes.
AS to the cost of selling shoes, the
bureau of research of the school of
business administration of Harvard

erect suitable building at any time
that they so desire.
A majority of the farm leaders
now believe that the present building
will be suitable for farm erganiza-
tion needs for at least two or three
years. 1t is their intention to use
this property until larger and more
impressive structure will be an &C
tual advantage.
But agricultural organization is
making such rapid progress that
many believe larger building will
be necessary in the very near future.
Prior to that time the interest from
this fund may be used, if needed, to
finance work of a national character
necessary to the well-being of the
farm organizations that participate
in the campaign.

Mail ard Freight Service

There is . daily exodus, we are told, of men from the postal service because of higher wages elsewhere. And the public stuff. CTS. Mail that reacneas our off ice Is frequently days and even week behind time. The men em- ployed in the postal service can. not be blamed for seeking other positions where wages have been advanced over prewar scale. The only way of stopping the loss of men and the holding of sufficient numbers to keep the mail sevrics efficient seems to be by the increase of salaries or the reduction of the demand for them elsewhere. For fourteen months the Congressional committee has been Investigating postal salaries but has done nothing toward giv. ing relief to the employees On account of a shortage of help freight IS tired up in transit as it has not been for years, making it difficult for manufactu. CTS, coal men, and the shippers of grain and foodstuffs to secure cars. And the entire public in suffering from the lack of the prompt delivery of freight. There Is alao a shortage of help in many other lines of industry and commerce. But there are plenty of men out of employ ment to fill all the vacancies. Of one thing we may be sure: Not until men settle down and go to wo:k will there be any return to normal conditions. Even if the wage is not in keeping with the cost of living. it is the duty of every citizen to go to work. Steady employment would graet. ly reduce the dissatis faction and
 agitation. would increase pro-  puction and rapidly bring about a reduction in the cost of living. Let everybody 20 to work.
