1920 prevented the transportation of
spraying material to the Michigan
farmers necessary for the protection OF
their crop from the grasshopper. and
the farmers. in the Lansing district
lost a root crop valued at $1,000,000.
The partial failure of fruit crops in
the middle west, because Of the farm
ers' inability to get their spray, forced
the market in August and September
to pay January prices.
During the dockmen's strike in New
York the cost of handling potatoes to
meet the New York shortage increased
the price 81 a barrel When the
returning soldiers were needing clothes
the clothing workers were striking and
producing less than the normal
amount, whereas the rehabilitation
caused a demand for approximately
16, 0O0,0 900 shirts above the normal de-
mand, but strikes cut the production of
shirts 5,Ss0,OOO below the normal.
Overa1ls which cost S715 cents
wholesale in 1918 and $1.S71z in 1919
went to $3.121s in May, 1920, because
of strikes. These are but a sew of
many illustrations which the author
gives of the shortage in the necessities
of life which increased out of all pro-
portion the prices obtained for the
scanty supply which ultimately
reached the market.

Dorothy Dix Talks
BY DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.
Look Pleasant, PIease-e.


But it is our own fault if we have
made life with us simply an en-
durance test, and that is what so
many old people do by their Whims,
and their crotchets, and their hard
little cut-and-dried notions about
everything under the sun.
Perhaps, grandma, you are one Of
the old women who interfere with
everything your daughter, or daugh-
ter-in-law, does, because it isn't the
way that you did when you were
young. You didn't go to bridge
on the bottle. You didn't use your
best china every day. You didn't wear
dresses that were short in the skirt
and low in the neck.
Hence, every time your daughter, or
daughter-in-law, goes to a bridge
sets the table with her wedding silver,
or gets new frock, she has to listen
to a TRADE from you on the subject.
Don't you ever stop to think how
deadly tired she must get of it, or
how reconciled she will be when you
are dead, and she doesn't have to
listen to your querulous comments any
more?
Doesn't it ever occur to you that the
young people have a right to run
their own lives in their own way, and
that it is hands off for you? You
have theirs.
Don't be the wet blanket that takes
the fun out of everything by chilling
enthusiasm with your endless objec-
tions, and fault findings. Suppose
they didn't do certain things in your
youth. Just reflect that there's been
lot of progress in the last sixty or
seventy years. Suppose you don't ap-
prove of certain things young people
do now The Lord never appointed
you public censor of other peoples
conduct Kindly bear in mind that it
is likely that other people are just as
| capable of judging questions of morals
and manners as you are.
Exactly the same code of conduct
applies to old men. They, too. should
remember that the young have rights
that the old should respect, and that
because man has celebrated GER
tain number of birthdays does not
| make him a Solomon, or entitle him
| to become the tyrant on the hearth
stone. The only old people in the
| world who have a right to be as dis
| agreeable. and meddlesome, and fault
finding as they please, are those who
are rich enough to live in their own
| houses, with nobody about them but
| those who are hired to stand them.
I once saw carved on a tombstone
in a little country churchyard, this
SHE WAS so PLEASANT TO LIVE
WITH
I think that is the most beautiful
| tribute that was ever paid human
| being. Let US so live, brothers and
sisters, that that may be said of US,
especially when we are old. Let us so
live that nobody will be waiting i'm
| patiently for US to die.

stantine holds on, and Venizelists
whom you meet in the uniform of the
king whom. they despise all tell you
the same story. They are heart and
soul against the king in Athens, but
heart and soul behind his work in

saying There we fight not for the
king, but for Greece, for Greece
For Greece!" 1t is a cry Of ram

ends. Far better for the soldiers to
return and build up the shattered

their tangles. Far better to save
what are left of the Georgian peasants
and set them tilling the soil. So
would think the westerner, perhaps
impatiently. But the westerner I'M

STRIKES AND THEIR COST.

The cost of strikes has been the sub
ject of a great many calculations and
speculations. In most of the tables
published by departments of labor or
private statistical bureaus the total
figures of loss in wages paid or profits
that might have been made by the
plant involved are all that is given.
Large as these totals are, it seems they
are a small part of the cost of strikes.
Marshall OldS recently presented a
series of articles in the New York Trl-
bune on the high cost of strikes. He
pointed out that due to building
strikes, transportation strikes and
strikes on building materials, the cost
of rent had risen on an average of
s32 for every family. The editor of
the Federationist commenting upon
these articles asked how a strike on a
building going up today increased the
rent on a building that was built ten
years ago.
In the extended discussion of this
subject now published in book form
under the title. 1.-The High Cost of
Strikes" the author makes clear the
operation of those laws by which the
failure of the supply of one thing in
creases the price of other related
things The relation between strikes
which interfere with building and ere
ate a shortage and the rents of build
ings already completed, however old
is fully explained.
Concerning the high cost of food
some of Mr. Olds's illustrations are in
teresting. Due to a strike by tuna
fishermen for a 500 per cent increase
in wages the price of tuna fish in
creased IS per cent and during the
time the strike kept the tuna from the
market the price of fish that COM
petes with tuna was raised. Third
a strike by the negroes who cut sugar
cane in Cuba, the labor cost of cut
ting the cane was advanced 200 pei
cent. With the increase in wages the
negro had to work less in order to sus-
tain life and his production immedi-
atelv fell to one-third.
