them as butchers and icemen. This fact shows two things; first, what co-opera- tion will do, and second, what common sense in buying will accomplish.
 I quote from a recent Toledo, O., Blade:
 Apple orchards within few miles of Toledo are burdened with fine fruit Far mers are offered nineteen cents a bushel. Take nineteen cents to the re- sell you for that amount" Verify, the advice is good. There, are, however, several thVus- and fiyvers in Toledo, all capable of reaching apple orchards within "a few miles," and every one capable of bring :! ing back several bushels of fine fruit Better advice would be that the owners of said flivvers spin out the few miles to | the apple orchards and buy some apples 1 of the farmers direct, not necessarily al nineteen cents a bushel, but at decent i price, enough to pay for picking then and leave the farnser a nickel or two ] over for winter.

a big supply, which were offered at 90 cents a basket Nobody would buy them So thas canny proprietor "cut the price" and made it SIPS. Whereupon they went off like hot cakes. The same store reported that, when tomatoes were '35 cents a pound, it couldn't get enough to supply it's customers. When tomatoes went down to 10 cents pound, the de- hand dropped off, till the store stopped trying to carry them. The reporter who records the stores experience asks i: Isn't this a queer quirk of the human slind?"
 In almost every newspaper which I see, no matter from what part of the 9ountry it comes, are columns and pages of advertisements of clothing at vrices running from $35 to $S5 suit And people are paying those prices If they weren't, the prices would mighty Soon drop
 But what can the buyers who do not Iant to pay double and treble prices for common necessities do? Aren't they | helpless?
 We'll that depends upon how much they really care about it. When il comes down to sharp definition, that word necessity is given very differ ent meanings by different people There gre exceedingly few things which we can't get along without temporarily. il The inducement to do without them is sufficient. At least nine-tenths of the things which are ordinarily called "nec essities" are merely luxuries which we | have got used to and think We "must have" when there's really no must qbout it.
 The remedy for high prices is in tho
 hands of consumers, and in theirs alone 1 They can refuse to buy. This may b, 8. very hard medicine for them to ad minister to themselves. They may pooh pooh it on the ground that such conduc would hurt them worse than it would

the profiteers Certainly they can't starve or freeze Or go about unciothed
 But-and right here's the nub-they can live just as we'll on cheap cuts of
 meat as on sirloin steaks. They can keep just as comfortable in reasonably priced shirts as in silk ones. They can wear old clothes, even if these have to be patched and darned They can spend little moro time and a good deal less money in hunting up sources of supply behind the profiteers' backs
 The other day-as I think I may have mentioned bkfore-I went to my neigh boring city after few baskets of can ming peaches for myself and some neigh bors. The price demanded was $S.75s and $4 a bushel. came back without them. That same day, a neighbor. mo- toring through a fruit country not 200 miles from that city, found the roadsides almost lined with baskets of the finest Elbertas, picked from the loaded or chards behind them and offered at 75 cents a busfpel. I came back from the city without any peaches. But, also the same day. a truck from nearby mar ufactory went to that same city and bought fifteen baskets at s3.75 on orders from the employees. Somehow, one can't severely blame the dealers from taking $375 for 75 cents worth of peach es-so long as people rush to them and l fairly thrust the money on them That same week, when the dealers found themselves in danger of having to carry surplus peaches over Sunday, they sent hucksters out into the neighboring coun. | try, and retailed the same peaches at $1
 Now, peaches are very agreeable and pleasing food. Most all of us like
 them fresh, or canned, or in pies and | ch T2y1f fhavy pot {f1

 as water will run down hill.

About Prices

There is every indication that the
peak Of high prices has been passed.
and that the readjustment to lower
and more normal levels is under way.
These reductions will. of course, ef-
feet every line of business and labor.
and must be reckoned with by every
one. In some lines the declines will
be more rapid than in others. In
manufactured lines. such as hosiery,
garments, underwear and shoes the
declines will have to be more gradual
because of the large element OF labor
entering into theeir cost.
AS evidenced by our sale of cotton
goods, Mathers' Store will pass on to
its patrons every price advantage just
as soon as it can be made.

Conservation Meeting Be
ing Held il, Pittsburgh
To-Day.

PITTSBURGH, July 2s.-Na-
tural gas will last only rs years
onger, and only. that time unless
he supply is conserved, according
to an opinion expressed by Samuel
S. Wier, Of the United States
Bureau Of Mines at the natural gas
conservation conference being held
under the direction Of the PENN
sylvania Public Service Commts-
sion here today.
John F. Killing Of the commits
sion presided and the principle ad-
dress was made BY Nj. Wier who
IN addition to predicting the rapid
exhaustion Of the natural gas sup
ply yentured the opinion that all
natural gas companies must even
tually manufacture such gas %
they will sell to consumers. He
urged higher prices as a means
Of cutting down consumption IN
the cause Of conservation, declar-
Ing that even with higher prices
consumers would get natural gas
for much less than they would
have to pay for the manufactured
gas. - /,
Commissioner Killing urged
some plan BY which Pennsylvania.
Ohio and West Virginia would
unite toward gas conServation.
