COMMENDABLE MODESTY.

Arimore has youth Of tender years,
who IS entitled TO have his name en-
g-aycd upon the portals Of the local
temple Of fame.
THIS lad is modest in the eptreme
ana does not believe in blazoning his
worth 10 the world, in box car letters.

That kid is one In a million. We
expect, should We live long enough,
TO be able to cast our vote for him
for some office Of trust in the gift Of
the people. His commendable mod
esty shows that he has something in
him, something which few Of this day
and time possess.
Had he have been an ordinary, in
place Of al extraordinary lad, he would
have gathered about him a pull, would
have called to his aid judges and law

have 10 reduce the price or 10 do both
Evidently il the price that would move
the crop was below the cost of pro
duction there were three courses open.
They could reduce the cost of produc-
tion they could take a temporary loss,
or the less efficient growers would be
forced out Of business until eventually
the supply and demand would reach
an equilibrium where the price would
be profitable.
The conditions confronting the prune
growers confront every business. Costs
of production vary. One farmer can
produce milk at u cost that is under
what his neighbor can produce it at.
one mine can produce coal much more
Cheaply than another mine. SO it
goes. We talk about a fair price or a
just price without having any very
definite idea Of what We mean. What
might seem Just price to one produc-
er would be impossible TO another.
From the standpoint of the individual
producer there is no dependable mea-
sure for a just price. How is il to
be known whether this producers cost
of production, or some other producers
cost Of production, should be taken as
standard?
But from the standpoint Of society
there is a price that produces the best
results. 1t has sometimes been called
the equilibrium prlce---the price that
produces an adequate supply Of goods
at cost the public is willing to pay.
suppose experience showed that a city
could get an adequate supply Of milk
when the dairymen receive cents u
quart, wholesale. If the price went
above that consumption would be cut
down so the distributor would not
make as much money as before. Ii ii
went below that some Of the poorer
dairymen might be forced out of bust
ness and the supply Of milk diminished.
Then cents a quart would be the
equilibrium price, maintaining u bal
ance of supply and demand
Some farmers might be able to live
with a lower price. and they will make
good money at s cents. The less eff
cient man. whose product is neverthe'
less needed, will make just enough to
stay in business. In this way society
adjusts its supply and demand, and
the equilibrium price fixed by society
itself in the long run works best for
all concerned.

them? These heroes who represented

Our memorial should be: First, a
