 There is actual scarcity in most lines There not only fewer commodities than the people are willing and able to buy but fewer than the market affords in normal times
 Consequently there is not and 5'exravagant buying" There may be and probably is consumption than is wise, considering the scarcity of things.
 The remedy in this is not to the currency inaton but to ration goods much sugar compel individual limit
 Our committee continues its task and proposes remedy which inversion of the principles which it had already been stated.
 Imitation made the chief cause of high prices instead of scarcity, and this imitation is attributed to credt insufficient production dsorganzed exchange; unbrdled demand for goods unwilngnes the people to save and the unparaed increase in bank cred it's and buying at home and abroad.
 By what of reasoning the committee of pers puts imitation above scarcity it does not explain.

John r. FOulks Makes Extended
Visit ThruOut States Of Miss
issippi Valley Looking Over
Exchanges Of Property a
FINDS PRICES VERY HIGH
Farms are Being Purchased at High
Rate Per Acre With Low 4
Initial Payment

Attracted by the numerous sales
Of high priced farms in the states
of the Mississippi valley, John r.
Foulks, dealer in farm lands, has
recently made trip to that section
to study the conditions and to ascer-
tain at first hand the exact facts con-
erning the reported numerous ex-
changes of property. He was in con-
ference with the leading men Of ehe
different localities and studied care
fully the character of the sale, the
purchasers and the sellers. He
found that prices were generally very
much higher than last year, lands
selling at from 5000 to $500 per acre
but that there was one serious prob
lem connected with the sales and
that Is that very small initial pay
ment is generally, made. In some
cases as low as $1,000 on a purchase
price of from $4,000 to $4,000. Tie
contracts in most cases call for a
much larger payment on March l.,
1920 and it is upon this payment
that the permancy of the sale de-
pends according to him. He predicts
that in case the March payments
are not made prices of land in the
middle east will take big drop.
