WHAT can be done by the steel indus
try? Experience has more than once
demonstrated that the mere reduction of
selling prices does not bring large and
satisfactory business. would-be Gus
toners are delaying purchases. except
for immediate and imperative uses, un-
til satisfied that sound and stable ba-
sis of prices has been established. There
have been reductions and readjustments
and others may be necessary, even In
the steel business, before complete res

not now prepared to express an opinion

cumstances. As to prices and wage
rates. producers and employees must be
fair and reasonable, taking everything
into account; fair towards each other
and towards the general public.

ducers will not permit lower selling
prices This presents serious prob

Richest Nation.

In the richest of all nations in prop
erty and money. with the greatest and
most rapidly increasing resources, our
people are not buying enough to sup
ply themselves with the ordinary COM
forts of life although they have the dis
position and the means to do so. They
are to an appreciable extent wearing
their old clothing, living in their un-
repaired houses, eating unusually plain
food and. in various ways. denying to
themselves many Of the things they
would generally buy and utilize; and
they are right in their attitude. up to
a certain limit This is In accordance
with the inexorable law OF supply and
demand. The demand is and for some
time has been below normal.
In the main, what has brought abou,
the present unusually low range OF
purchases why is there less building,
diminished purchasing Of clothing and
wholesome food. less travel and reduc-
tion of expenditures for new enter
prises and extensions OF old?
It is because the great purchasing
public has formed the opinion that
there have not been consummated com
plete and proper readjustment Of prices
and on account of failure to dlscrimin-
ate between different lines or depart
ments of business the whole economic
system has suffred,

been discussed by the convention, but
nothing received more enthusiastic en-
dorsement than the essay contest foT
the F%frestone prize.
1t was decided to include Professor
Tilden's letter in the minutes of the
convention, and to have copies of it
transmitted to each state organization,

GOOD CLOTHES

Is it demand for cheap clothing?
Maybe so. But remember, that cheap
things are the dearest in the long
run. A cheap suit of clothes will
get out of shape and look bad in a
short time, and whenever you wear
it you will feel cheap too. The only
satisfaction of it is that it doesn't
last very long. AS experienced tall
ors we are in position to know the
difference in material as we'll as Of
workmanship in clothing, and decline
to recommend an inferior quality.
We have in addition to our made
to-order department, put in d few
;ready-to-wear mems suits and over
coats, which we want you to come in
to inspect. Price $500 to $48.00
per suit or overcoat. We guarantee

Ground Hog ,Day

According to the weather prognos-
ticators today will be groundhog day
in Laurcns, as elsewhere, and weather
conditions during the next six weeks
Will be largely regulated by the antics
Of the said groundhog as he emergcs
from his winter lair this morning.
Groundhog lore is to the effect that if
the little animal comes out Of his hole
and is able to see his shadow he will
be frightened at it and return to his
warm bed to take another six weeks
nap. On the other hand, strange as
it may seem, II he find the weather
dark and cloudy so that he cannot see
his shadow, he will brave the weather
and come out to stay, knowing that
balmly weather is on the way. SO, if it
is cloudy today the early gardeners
may well begin to gather up the hoes
and rakes and order their seed for
planting.
