To the Patrons of the st. Johnsbury Gas Company

To the Patrons of the St. Johnsbury Gas Company.
Owing to the advance price in the cost of every
thing entering into the manufacture of Gas, it has
become necessary that advance our prices for the
same and IN fairness to our patrons, we herewith,
submit some of the reasons why we are forced to
make this advance.
On Dec. 81, 1919 our contracts for Gas Oil and
Coal expired On Jan. l, 1920, there was a sharp
advance in the price Of Gas Oil and today we are
paying 100 per cent more for oil than year ago and
Gas Oil is one of the principle ingredients in the
manufacture of Water Gas Soft coal has advanced
Il per cent there has also been ain advance in the
price of hard COAL sa~.--e.-~e
We have known since Jan. l, 1920 that it would
be impossible to continue to furnish gas at $500 per
thousand Gu it., unless the price of raw material
was lowered and we have waited until now hoping
that the warm weather would release more fuel OIL
and the future outlook as regards both the supply
and the price the above is not encouraging. You
will perhaps more readily understand the situation
if you will read the following letter received re-

see is not only question of price, but supply.

of working hours, we increase the supply while
reducing the cost.
And as soon as you put plenty of goods on
the market no one under the sun can keep prices
up.
It's all a matter of work; steady, constant,
honest work, every minute of every working day,
for every man and woman in the country. That
is the answer to high prices; the answer that will
bring prices down.
A full days work by every worker in this
country would bring prices down without touch
ing wages.
Prices are up because goods are scarce. We
have plenty of factories and plenty of farms to
produce more than can use-more than we
need.
All that is necessary to insure a reduction in
costs, which keep up prices is to increase the
quantity of goods manufactured.
If the shoemakers for example, will speed up
production, they supply shoes for all workers,
and with plenty to spare.
The same is true of the clothing workers and
Of the farm workers.. And the clerks, steno-
graphers, managers and owners in all lines of
business the women in the homes-everybody
can help cut down costs.
When any of us loaf on our jobs we are not
only hurting ourselves, but we are hurting all
the other workers of the country.
In six months-if every one of us did full
days work every working day, prices would drop
without single cut in wages.
Prices would drop because there would be a
full supply of goods. Then your dollars would
be worth more than they are today. Today your
dollar buys only as much as fifty cents bought a
few years ago.
Lower prices will come with more work-and
only with more work.
Work and Watch Your Dollars Grow.

AT THISTLETHWA|TE'S OF HER
FATHER.|N.LAW'S RECOVERY

Mrs. Edward Sharits. sis South 9Th
street, Richmond. recently called at
Thistlethwaite's drug store to obtain
bottle Of Pepgen. In answer to a
question as to how she liked Pepgen,
Mrs. Sharits said:
Il am not taking Pepgen myself.
am buying this for my father-in-law,
Mr.. William Sharits. He was troubled
with his stomach and liver His food
soured and caused gas and bloating.
Pcpgen not only helped his stomach,
but it made him feel stronger. He
tells me that it is not a hardship for
him to get up in the mornings and go
to work, where before he took Pepgen
he dreaded his work because he al
ways felt tired.
"Pepgen has made such a change in
my father-in-law's condition that we
are glad he is going to continue to
take it."
Pepgen is now the sensation of the
drug trade in the United States. In
the history of patent medicines, there

comparison with Pepgon.
The enormous popularity Of Pepgen
is due to its meritorious effects IN
stomach trouble, indigestion. dyspep-
STA, headaches. constipation, backache,
kidney and liver ills.
All druggists vouch that the sales
of Pepgen in Richmond have more
than doubled the sale of any other

Look Out For This

The factories of our country are not, as an
average, producing as much per worker as they
did before the war.
The cost of operating these factories is much
greater than it was before the war. The cost
is high because everything that goes into the
work is up in price, and because wages are high
Z To cover these costs of manufacture there
have been raises in prices. These are the prices
we are all bowling about-but look out for this:
. If the factories cut prices with the present
rate of manufacture, they can't pay expenses.
If they can't pay expenses, they must close
up If they close up, workers are thrown out of
work. zs---.- ...
Then what will happen? We will have to be-
gin at the beginning. To keep alive we will have
to go to work at any wages. The manufacturer,
to sell his goods, will have to sell for whatever
he can get. Goods will be cheap very cheap; but
what good will that do anybody? Wages will be
so low that lots of cheap goods will be no better
than few high-priced goods.
Our only hope is in keeling up wages and get
ting down prices. And there is just one way to
do this-turn out more work.
By making more goods in the same number

Answers to Questions

A Reader-Please tell me why
Venus de Melos' arm is cut off?-This
celebrated Greek statue is now in the
Louvre, Paris. 1t is so called because
1t was discovered on the Island of
Melos in 1920. The arms are broken
on, and their original position has been
much disputed. 1t is assumed that
they were accidentally broken off. One
notion writer says rival of the sculp-
tor, peeved at the beauty Of the
statute, wantonly broke off it's arms.
But this is not history. Many theories
have ben advanced, but history gives
no authentic explanation: and it is
safe to assume that the statue was
broken accidentally.
