Gillette bases his price-and-wa
level prediction on complicated
mathematical formula, which he has
tested haci; t.<r 80 yeas and found
that it fitted each years prices and

Rise and Fall
According to this formula, average
wholesale prices will continue rising
until they so per cent above 1913

ably would fall back, in that event,
and settle at the so per cent figure
Further indications that business
decline has halted and is rising out
of the depths, getting ready to stabil-
ize, are pointed out by Gillette, as
follows:
LONE: Between June, 1920,> and
April. 1921, bank clearings declined
about 25 per cent, But, for the past
four monthsg they have remained
almost stationary. -

same four months. while the tons

increased slightly"
Money Danger.
"Most economists hold that wage
and price levels change with changes
in the volume of money and check
ing deposits-the two combined be-
ing the measure of total buying pow
err says Gillette.
II have shown that. had this been
the case. wage levels would be al.
most twice as high as they are, for
bank deposits Increased twice as
much as money during the last 30
years.
tIt has not been realized by
economists that bank credits repre-
sent frozen purchasing power be-
cause it is. necessary constantly to ac-
cumulate funds with which to meet
maturing loans. When business

meet his obligations. he cannot atsthe

ADVANTAGE

Farmers may be getting low prices.
but now they have one big advan-
tage over the rest of us.
The city chap %pays 38 per cent of
his income for food and has to pay
income tax on the dollars that buy
the food.
But the farmer gets his food, rent
and often other living expenses be-
fore he beings reckoning his taxale
