Buyer and Seller.
(Boston News Bureau.)

Complete revenge may sometime be a costly indu- gcnce, in economic well as in any other sense observers profess to dangers of such Sua- ion in some of the international peace settlements Nearer home, others believe they discern possible application in of the phases of our domestic business position. It concerns the recent and still existing gap in attitude between buyers and sellers the issue of prices.v
 Today, in numerous staple markets, the ordinary commercial report is either market nominal or no market" Some essential wares virtually un- salable The cause is the wide divergence of views IS between seller and buyer, producer and consumer Both sides gropng tow?rd common basis, not yet attained. Meanwhile tho buyer often seems determined still further price concessions, at the very time that the seller feels that he cannot lTord to accept the loss already involved or hopes rebound
 When by a meeting of minds" there is again found a bargaining contact, both stability and activity 'hould restored to several staple markets. These ave lately 1ourshing in uncertainty after going trough two very pronounced major movements-up and then down. Seldom have commodity prices re- corded price swings dramatic in the past year md a half The period March-September in 1919 covered the spectacular ascent; March-Septcmber in 1920 the descent. Commodity speculation by out iders helped to intensity the promiscuous, indis- ;rminate buying; the elimination of that element added to the velocity of the downsWing Its passing should add to the stability.
 But it is net quite easy to carry the "consumers' strike far for both the common and the indi- vidual good? As regards the former aspect, the fol- towing by Pres. Reynolds of the Connental & Commercial National Bank of Chicago deserve quoting:
 Responsibility rests upon the consumer well as the producer to maintain present prosperity. With respect to every commodity there two great classes-those who produce and those who consume. fin every emergency, and this is enc, there be cooperation between the two. The consumer must expect, by withholding his orders to crowd down prices so rapidly that the producer will bear the whole burden of the readjustment period.
 Equality and justice should be maintained in this relationship in all others, and that line of equity my judgment along orderly decline in prices, without panic to any branch Of industry Labor has gone down in price and the buying power o consumers broadly speaking. has diminished. Not until the buying power of consumers, measured in dollars declined, should expect any further sharp decline in prices. That is the process if we are to maintain orderly progress in business and avoid chaotic price conditions The result should be
 gauged recognition that each has re8ponsbiii- ties and burdens. without the producer attempting profit unduly at the expense of the consumer, or vice versa

GRIGsBY AND THE GOLD BONUS BILL.

There is no man in the United States better pre- rared and more able to make a winning hght Tor bonus on ecld production provided in the Mctad- den Bill than George B. GrGsby. MT. Grigsby is d very able lawyer a logical and convincing talker, le understands the questions involved very clearly lie is prepared to the legal objections to the measure and those which apply to it's practicabty Ncne knows more clearly it's justice. He comes from onc of principal gold producing sections of the world and one which the depreciation in the relative value Of gold has probably done most injury
 Grgsby has made very careful investigation of the evil effects of the decline in gold production and is prepared to show how greatly increased pro ducon will serve stabilize the financial structure not only United States but of the whole world One of the causes of the low value of the exchange and currency of foreign countries, righfuy contends MT Grgaby is the fact that they redeemabe ill gold only in theory In fact gold is not behind them. The United States has fortunate because she has control iof great percentage of the worlds gold supply < But she is being compelled gradually to good deal of this in order to prevent com riote collapse of foreign commerce. It is necessary that the gold we are releasing to foreign countries shall be replenighed through production
 The @fact that advocates of this measure are de nendinss largely upon MT. Grigsby to lead in the fight for the McFaddcn Bill is. not strange to those who arg familiar with his attachments us lawyer and hissconvincing personality.

play this horse" Count one horse for each word, beginning with the top horse. This would make the top horse My" the next horse would be Mother" the next would be told" and so on The horse that the last word horse lands on is the horse you must play There being eight words the horse would be number eight if there are eight or a dozen horses in the race. If there are less than eight horses, keep on counting until you get to the word horse Then play that horse. Thus in a five horse race you would count down to five, start from the top again and you would play the eighth horse, or tho third from the top. In this system you play $10 to win and BIO place on each horse. Doc tried his new system last Tuesday while we were with him and he lost $30 md won $752.

chant marine get the Jones bill. Other wise it will be impossible for either the gov ernment or private owners to profitably oper- ate the vessels.
 Section 28 of the merchant marine act Is attacked by the 1 per cent. This section provides that preferential export rates over our railways shall be confined to American steamers provided-ncw listen-provided there is an adequate American service to handle the business An adequate American service does not mean merely some 8,SO0-ton cargo boats. An adequate service does mean fast passenger boats, fast and capable cargo liners augmented by sufficient tram2s or cargo boats to handle all the business just as quickly and efficiently and safely to all ports a scould be done by foreign steamers.
 Personally l am doubtful whether sec ton 28 will ever be enforced, for the simple reason that it will not be necessary. By the time we have 2n adequate and sufficient American service our American shippers and consignees will be favorins American steam CTS with their business to such an extent that it will be carried by the American yes sels on an equal basis with the foreign yes sels. No preferential rates our own cargo will be necessary; nor should they be. How ever, section 28 is wise provision and any number of facts can already be pointed out to show where section zS has resulted i'll benefit to American vessels"

THE FISHERIES QUESTION IN THIS
 CAMPAIGN.

Bureaucratic control of Alaska fisheries have proved failure Attempts to get Congress to amend fisheries laws 10 protect the industry have failed. What is the remedy? Is it not to bring the question here to Alaska, where all the people arc vitay interested in the perpctuation of the industry for solution? In Washington the fisheries question in Alaska is one minor importance. In Alaska it is a question of greatest importance. In Washington, Senators, Representatives and executives in tercsted in adjustments and other matters of Ma ticral importance thsn they in local Alaskan questions. In Alaska there is nothing in which the people are more interested than in fair and equit able solution the fisheries problems There would be absolutely no continued neglect if the people o Alaska had power to egslate this question. There will be continued neglect if the matter left within the jurisdiction of Congress and the authorities at Washington.

militarism, but that greater enemy
confronts us in British navalism
which must be combatted with every
power at our command. Rev.
Hughes also recalled that not a
single nation that fought on the
side of the Allies during the World
war had been granted self-determi-
nation, unless they had fought or
were fighting for it. In this con-
nection he dwelt upon the Irish
question and took issue with state
ments contained in British-controlled
newspapers in this country to the
effect that majority of the Irish
people do not want to be free from
Great Britain. He claimed that
fully 80 per cent of the Emerald
Islanders desire their independence,
whereas at the outset Of the
Revolutionary war only about 60
per cent of the colonists favored
separation from the mother country,
while the remaining 40 per cent
clung to English domination Of
America. Ireland is geographically
separated from England and has
always wanted its independence.
We Should Be Generous.
The speaker stated that some
people were prone to inquire why
we should concern ourselves about
Ireland's craving for independence.
He declared that we should be
generous and be willing that liberty,
freedom and independence be ex-
tended to other nations throughout
the world, and that it is our duty
to help Ireland, as we'll as any other
country that is seeking political in
dependence. In his closing remarks,

It is a new plan. of settle
ment adopted by the
Wisconsin Colonial
ton Company.

Farmers and renters from all
over the West are focking in and
taking up these farms.
We have already placed 700
families in farm homes under
this plan, and we are now pre-
pared to take care of 800 more.
1t is the opportunity Of life
time for a man with a little cash
to get started on a farm of his
own.
Our company gives the new
settler from 40 to 160 acres of
land, an attractive house, barn,
COW, pigs, chickens, clearing tools,
etc.
He can buy just the land, or
the land with buildings, etc., on
as small a payment as $500 to
$3.50.
After he moves on his farm
and starts making improvements
he has nothing more to pay for
three years.
After the three years are up
he is given 80 years in which to
make the rest of his payments
if he desires.
