very little oney, this large section of
the buying public bought very little.
Manufacturers of farm implements i'm
mediately felt the pinch. Their sales
in many cases fell off more than half
Other manufacturing lines also felt it.
AS a result factory employees were
thrown out of work. Unemployment
set in. 1t affected millions. So the
buying public was still further reduced,
demand declined still more, the cost Of
every retailing operation rose and the
retailer, with his high prices, was less
than ever in a position to reduce them.
1t is stalemate which is easy to un-
derstand, but hard to remedy. If a
bushel of potatoes would buy pair of
shoes in 1913 and it takes two bushels
Of potatoes to buy pair Of shoes now,
then the potato growers can only buy
half as many shoes now as in 1913. One
result is that employees Of shoe fac
tories will be thrown out Of jobs.
Then they can't buy any shoes either.
Really, the farmer, if at all intelli-
gent, is in an enviable position. He at
least can eat. 1t is only the farmer
who raises nothing but one money crop
who now suffers--the man who raises
only tobacco, or cotton-for example.
The farmer who produces hogs and
chickens and keeps dairy cattle and
raises potatoes and beans and other
vegetables, need go to market for very
little Of his food. He is vastly better
off than ex-shoe factory employe, for
example.
Business will never pick up until the
farmer once more is able to buy pair
OF shoes with bushel of potatoes.
That can be accomplished either by
giving the farmer more or the shoe
maker less. The diagnosis is easy, but
the only remedy seems to be slow
process of readjustment.

CANDY VALUABLE FOOD
Much Energy Contained in Small Por'
ton of Sweets.


If there. is any doubt as to the food
value of candy, the statement, which
bears the stamp of science and investl-
CATION that man may walk mile on
the energy furnished by the caramel,
provides food for thought, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The exact amount Of energy pro-
duced depends, Of course, upon the
kind of candy eaten and the nature of
the ingredients which enter into its
composition.
That candy is an energy producer
was demonstrated many times in the
recent war The authorities, not wish
ing to feed the fighters stimulants that
would lessen their resistance, gave
them candy and jams in large qaunti-
ties. Practical tests of the value of
sugar in preventing or delaying fatigue
were made, the results indicating the
value of sugar in the ration when men
are subjected to great eXertion.
Chocolate bars are one Of the most
convenient forms in which sugar may
be carried; they pack readily and
carry much concentrated nourishment
for their weight, making them favor
ite with mountain climbers and hikcrs
who do not wish to load themselves
with large quantities of food and If
one caramel will supply enough energy
for a man to walk mile, it will be
seen how comparatively light the load
may be. The Swiss guide considers
lump sugar and highly sweetened
chocolate an indispensable part of his
outfit.

TO SUE GOVERNMENT
Important Case Coming up in Rhode
Island.

Important Case Coming up in Rhode
Island.
Whether former soldiers whose
minds were wrecked by shell-shock,
wounds and gas are temporarily or
permanently insane is to be determined
in three suits to compel payment of
war risk insurance by the government,
filed in United States district court
in Providence, r. l., by James B.
Littlefeld, attorney acting for the
American Legion.
The action has been taken in behalf
of three soldiers, Adam MilkilliwicZ,
Giuseppe Vitullo and James MCGEE.
1t is alleged by the Legion attorney
that the three are totally disabled as
a result. of insanity. The government
insurance bureau, Mr.. Littlefeld
charges, has refused to pay the insur-
ance of the men on the ground that
they are but temporarily disabled and
may recover their mental faculties.
Hundreds OF New England service
men, their minds dwarfed from she'll
shock, wounds and gas, are confined in
state institutions for the insane and in
private hospitals. If Attorney Little
field wins his case, similar suits will
follow in federal courts in all New
England states and, with a precedent
established, in all parts of the coun-
try.
These men were returned from SER
vice in the army as insane, and it has
been established that their insanity is
due to army service" Mr.. Littlefeld
declares. Yet the government refuses
them the financial relief to which they
are entitled under the war tax insur-
ance act and they have not drawn a
cent from their policies. Two must
remain confined in the state asylum
unless they can collect the $3.50 a
month for 20 years on their policies.
This amount would enable them to be
released from the asylum Sand allow
their families to care for them."

Over Supply of Sweet Potatoes.

on the Yorkvi!lc market" said Tues
day farmer who brought twenty
FIVE bushels into town TO sell and who
couldn't DO it. 81 tried every store in
town this morning and every ore OF
them was already well supplied with
potatoes. If York county farmers arc
going in for the culture OC sweet
potatoes on 4 big scale some arrange
mcnts are going to have to be made
for the sale OF them. No doubt there
arc many cities within radius Of loo
miles of here that would be glad TO
have al we York county farmers have
if they only knew about it." Also, if
this farmer should have potatoes for
sale in February next, he will have
no trouble finding buyers.

WHY PRICES STAY HIGH
The Question is One Of Very Many
Complications.
Farmer In Best Position In That He
Can Always Eat-Readjustment Is
Slow.
BY +. J. Haskin.

Washington, D. C.-"Why," demands
an editor out in the corn belt, does
the retailer charge from 35 to 40 cents
pound for pork chops when hogs cost
him only or cents?"
He is one of a chorus singing differ
cnt words to the same tune. A man
down in Oklahoma wants to know why
he cannot tote enough hides across the
street on his back to buy pair OF
shoes. A man in Georgia wants TO
know why cotton enough to make
tent won't buy an undershirt. And a
farmer in Maryland asks why apples
such as he fed to his hogs because II
would not pay to haul them to market
sell for five cents each on the fruit
stands.
All of these questions have been
asked many times. They have also
been loudly answered with the asser-
ton that retail prices are too high,
which is of course merely begging the
question. Sometimes it is added that
the retailer is a profteer, which Is gen.
orally not true and certainly sheds no
light OIL the situation.
When the editors query was laid be-
fore certain marketing experts in the
government service, it was learned that
the question is good deal more COM
plicated than those who blame the re-
taller, and let it go at that, ever imag-
ined. The department Of agriculture Is
making a study of the retail prices Oh
farm products in all Of the principal
American cities. 1t is going to find out
Just why these prices are so lnordl-
nately high and why the farmer gets
such a small share of the large price
that the consumer pays. The govern
mont men do not care to be quoted nor
TO make any extensive comment until
this investigation has been completed.
But in the meantime they throw out a
few hints.
In the first place, they say, don't be
too quick to blame the retailer. Retail
prices, probably, are too high, but they
are not as much too high as you think.
The retailer has been facing dull
market for long time now. His great
need is to turn over his stock. 1t Is eX-
tremely probable that he would reduce
prices if he could afford to do so, in Or
dfr TO stimulate trade. In many cases,
of course, he has done so. The Napers
are full Of bargain sale advertisements.
Yet the average retail prices remain

Farmers Felt Drop First.

When prices began to drop, the drop
fell on the farmer first. With unso!d
stocks of fOodstuffs on hand, the buy
crs refused to give him n high price
for what he raised. But he had TO sell.
So he took a low price. Wholesaler
and retailer refused to follow suit. The
The cost of their operations was high,
chiefly because wages remained high,
and by cooperation and storage, both
of which the farmer lacked, they were
able to keep up their prices to great
extent.
But the farmers form about 40 per
cent. Of tho buying public. Having
