overcrowdng which has disturbed for years and

showing its menacing head in America
Of course the housing and home question has at
bottom the land question. But in this article let us
consider the common mans problem of building
house in the face of modern monopoly and profteer-
ing.
The cost of even an humble home is now prohib-
tive to the average worker and very difficult for the
small business and professional
A house that used to cost three thousand dol
lars costs from six thousand to eight thousand
dollars. WHAT OR WHO is TO BLAME? Is this
due to natural law of supply and demand operating
under war and postwar conditions? Or is there ex-
cessive and unreasonable profteering going on?

MANCET ALTERS
RULING ON SUGAR

For Wholesaler And

The following self-explanatory
telegram was received this afternoon
by the Times-Recorder from John A.
Manget, of Atlanta, state fair price
commissioner:
Kindly announce maximum profit
allowed wholesalers on sugar in
Georgia advanced from one to one
and one-half cents per pound and re-
tailers' maximum profit advanced
from two cents to three cents per
pound This is on account of the
great advance in sugar and the great
scarcity

ment and if we enter into the proper
spirit of the thing there is no doubt
that it will knock the bottom out of
prices"

In the Days News.

Eighty years old today is Baron
Mersey, the eminent English jurist,
whose name is familiar to the people
both of the United Kingdom and of
America as that of the commissioner
appointed by the British government to
inquire into the destruction of the I'll
tanic, in 1912, and of the Lusitania, in
1915. He was also president of the
court of inquiry, in Canada, on the loss
of the Empress of Ireland, in 1914. 1t
is sometimes believed that the only
road TO distinction in the British ju-
dietary lies through the house of COM
mons, but Lord Mersey's parliament
airy career lasted only two years, from
1895 to 1897, when. as John Charles
Bigham, he represented one of the Liv-
erpool divisions In 1897 he was
knighted and appointed to the bench.
In due time he rose to be chief Judge
of bankruptcy, and president of the
probate, divorce and admiralty division
of the high court of justice.

"The Drive. !"
BARRE Times. J

OF course, Vermont voters who receive
copies of "The Drive" Vol. /, No. ], will
ealize that the four page folder is merely
a campaign document printed in the in
terests of the candidacy of James Hart
ness of Springfield for governor OF Yer
mont and that it is not primarily issued
in the interest of progressive Vernon"
as a sub heading of the sheet explicitly
states. Voters perusing the articles car
ried in the folder will know how to be
guided in their appraisal of the contents.
The fact that "The Drive" carries pic
lures of all four Republican candidates
for governor, together with statements
regarding them, does not conceal the in
tent of the sheet as document intended
to further the campaign of Mr.. Hardness.
When the voters understand that THE
Drive" can be disposed of as the voters
see fit either read or thrown into the
waste basket.

PLACE FOR JOHN BARRETT.

Many people in, this section of Yer

ment that John Barrett, lately direc-

IS to be president of the administra-

ANA. This institution is to give tive
courses of six months each in all
branches of business and economic re
lation between the sister republics OF
America. The government of Panama

The New York Times says that Mr.
Barrett ''has been American minister
to three Latin-American states and has
done more than any other American tc

tween the two Americas This new
position will give him the opportunity
to work along the same lines in which
he has acquired fame and it is hoped

MORE FOOD FOR AMERICA.

Unless there has been a very marked
reduction in the production of food in
America this country will have a
greatly increased supply of food pro-
ducts because it has been sending much
less food out of the country than in re-
cent years. During the year closing
June 80, 1920, United States exported
1.222, 354. 222 less pounds of meat, 104,
G72.362 less bushels of grain and p
530,71S less barrels of flour that it did
for the year ending June 80, 1919. This
means that Europe is using that much
less of American foodstuffs the past
year than it did the year before. 1t
also means that much more food stuffs
must be sold in America as there is no
other foreign market for them.
What it will mean in prices to the
American consumer remains to be seen.
\ considerable portion of the -four ex-
ported the past year has been sent to
Europe in charitable or semicharitable
ways. Large quantities of it have also
been sent there for the purpose of
maintaining prices in America. Bu-
rope viii not take more on that basis
as it finds it can either produce for it
self or buy cheaper in other foreign
markets. If the law of supply and de-
mand is given free operation there
should be a marked reduction in the
prices of food in America in the near
future.

slower of circulation. Also reports do
not always agree, but two men from up
the state who have been in Bennington
the past week tell the same story relative
to the governorship campaign and both
are men above the ordinary in political
Judgment. The story they tell is that
there is a marked change in the situa-

the trend of the situation is toward Bah
bitt and Hartness and away from Emery

for the truth of the report. We merely

NO RESTRICTION ON APPLES.
Farmers Can Sell Then for Cider OF
Other Purposes.

BURLINGTON, Aug 3.-Farmers in
Vermont may dispose of their apples
as they please whether for making cider
or otherwise, according to information
procured yesterday at the Office of the
internal revenue collector The in
formation came as the result of re-
ports circulated extensively through
out the state to the effect that farm
crs could not sell apples for the pur-
pose of making cider. The offices of
internal revenue state that there is no
more restriction regarding the sale of
apples than there is for the sale of
any other fruit, or for grains or cereals
which might go into the manufacture
of whiskey. The farmers are not held
responsible for what becomes of the
apples after they are sold.
