CHAUNCY DEPEW UPHOLDS
EXTRAORDINARY GARB
Says Women Wear Fine Clothes
Because Men Like to
See Them

The Honorable Chauncy Depew,
now in his eighty-second year, Ex
Senator, jovial and says he never felt
better, in a recent interview with
New York reporter on timely topics,
defended the luxuriuos styles of the
present day woman. He said:
"Girl's clothes today are very styl-
ish and very extravagant, but they
have always dressed up to their means.
Women wear fine clothes because the
men like to see them. The men are
partly to blame for this extravaganza
The responsibility, if responsibility you
can call it, is about equally divided
between the man and the woman. You
know that none of US care to see wo-
man in homespun. If man can afford
it he always likes to see his wife in
new bonnet. If they do wear silks and
other costly things, that helps indus
try and is a good thing.
woman Suffrage is working out
all right. Nine-tenths of the married
women will vote as their husbands tell
them. The other tenth will tell their
husbands how to vote. But the single
women will vote as they please.
prohibition is making the country
dry, but the enforcement law is not
doing it. 1t is the inability Of every
one to get drink easily. The fellow
with a strong desire will find it. but
the average man will not 60 far t6
look for it.
"We need more building. One of
the drawbacks is that those who have
been investing in real estate and know
its uncertainties, fear if they build
now at present high prices, their prop
erty will not be able to compete with
that built later when construction is
cheaper.
"The intrinsic value of dollar will
rise but not rapidly. After the Civil
War there was great deal of specu-
lation. The cost of living was high. be-
cause the purchasing power of the dol
lar was low. History is repeating
itself.
"Wages will go down eventually.
When the cost of living and materials
gets down, wages will be so out OF
proportion they will have to come
down too. But not down to the level
they were before. Labor is going to
get a larger share of the profits OF
concerns.
Industry here will fall off to some
extent when things start up on the
other side. The workers there receive
so much less wages and work so many
more hours, our industries will not be
able to hold all our foreign trade.
Our home trade will require higher
tariff to protect it.
Socialism will not make any more
progress in this country. In Russia 1t
has turned out to be despotism. 1t
has reached its limit here.
"The baseball gambling scandal
came as a great shock. It's a PITY to
find our great national sport has been
tinctured with corruption. The game
has done much to relieve tension
tension of the high cost of iving,of
prohibition and of other problems the
people have had to meet since the war.

MARKET influenced
LARGELY BY SUPPLY
Lowest Prices Prevail After the
Heaviest Shipments.
With Decreasing Stocks Prices Al.
vance, Sometimes Recovering Much
Of EARLY DecIIne-CarefaI
Study Will Assist.

The man engaged in either selling OF
buying perishable produce will do well
to familiarize himself with the usual
course Of the market in such lines
during a season. The natural market
course, according to marketing experts
Of the United States department of ag.
rieulture, is somewhat as follows:
1t starts high with active movement
eve for inferior" stock because the de.
mand has the sharp edge of novelty
and appetite. The price gradually de.
clines and poor stock becomes harder
to sell as the supply increases. Low.
est prices arrive soon after the heav.
lest shipments begin, and a glut may
occur, especially if many sections are
shipping at once and there is much
poor stock. Then, with a decreasing
supply, prices advance, sometimes re.
covering much of the early decline, but
usually not reaching the opening prices
because demand is far less keen at the
end of a long season. If the last OF
the shipments are inferior, as happens
frequently with many %perishable crops
the a may close at or near bot.
tom prices.
The common or natural market de-
velopments do not always take place
as might be expected. Quite frequent.
ly superior quality of the main eroI
or absence of general competition will
bring higher prices in mid season. I'm.
expected shortage may cause the re.
serve stock in storage to sell at high
prices at the close Of the season, espe.
cially the less perishable crops like
potatoes, onions, apples, cabbage. etc
Careful study Of crop, shortage. sup
ply, and shipment should enable a
fairly good judgment to be made of
the outcome. However, quickly per.
ishable short season crops like straw
berries or melons are very irregular
and so it is difficult to form a reliable
market judgment of them.

STATE BANK HAS

tions %interposed by the agents and
propagandists Of Big Business the
Bank Of North Dakota rounded out
it's first year of existence Aug. IA
with total net earnings Of $241 ,8438.-

by Manager F. w. Cathro. This
means that more than IL per cent

Of 100000.
Anyone familiar with conditions in
North Dakota, particularly the dirty,
contemplate methods adopted by Big
Business to ruin the bank, realizes it
surely had a rock-ribbed path to
travel. But despite all the venom
and virulent propaganda hurled at it
the Bank of the Common People sue
ceeded in making more than 700 farm
loans amounting to $4,000, 900. In
addition, it loaned 100000 to
smaller banks in the state, thus n
,abling them to meet the needs of
their respective communities.
The resources Of the bank were
$2O,42O, 700.85 Aug. ID. Only $685.
1856 of this sum is on deposit in
correspondent banks outside the state
to care for regular banking exchange
transactions for the more than 800
banks with which it does business in
this state.
No Cost to Taxpayers
Out of the earnings $4,000 has
been conveyed to the surplus fund,
100000 has been turned into the
state treasury to be used to meet the
interest payments due on the bank
bonds on January / and July /, 1921,

and the balance has been returned to

influence. Doubtless the motor truck,
in any event, would have established
itself as a factor in the rural field, but
ordinarily this wsuld have been a slow
process, involving the many prelimi-

tated action by creating a very unusual
demand for transportation facilities

only to develop the opportunity. Such
development necessitates or, presup-
poses a certain familiarity with the
problem as a whole. That such ia
miliarity did not exist among those
interested in developing rural motor
routes was shown by preliminary In
vestigations, initiated by the bureau
Of markets, United States department
Of agriculture. An attempt was. made
more than a year ago to conduct a gen.
eral preliminary survey of rural motor
routes established or in process of es-
tablishment. The purpose was to sc
cure basic information regarding the
desirability Of establishing such
routes. the methods undertaken by
the beginners in this field, and the

attained during the early period Of op-

The information collected shows con-
siderable differences in the plans
adopted by the average inexperienced
operator. The word "inexperienced'
is used advisedly in view of tho fact
that the motor truck is a comparative
newcomer in the field of transportation
and there has not yet been time for
many of the important preliminary
problems to be worked out and a gen.
eral understanding of possibilities Sc
cured. The results Of the departments
Investigations in this field have been
