Gary Says Some Retail
Prices Are Too High
Blames Minority.

New York, May 27.-Full return
to satisfactory business conditions
will be slow until the minority OF
business men end workmen who
have ignored the principles of COM
mon honesty are aroused to the ne
cessity of sound and decent stand
ards Of conduct, according to Elbert
H. Gary, chairman of the United
States Steel corporation.
Speaking today before the Amer
lean Iron and Steel Institute, Mr..
Gary, who is president of the Insti-
tute, said the American people are
not buying enough to supply them
selves with the ordinary comforts
Of life, although they have the dis
position and the means to do so.
This, he explained, was due to the
opinion of the purchasing public
that there has not been complete
and proper readjustments of prices.
There Is an abundance of new
business" he said, with both abil-
ity and inclination to place it, wait
ing for further adjustments which
will put costs Of living, selling
prices, wage rates and the other
general incomes on a relative par
ity.
Patience, courage and fair dis
position will bring satisfactory con-
ditions in due time"
Present steel selling prices, Mr.
Gary declared, will not permit any
reduction until wages are further
decreased. 1t would be unjust, he
said, to further reduce wage rates
before the costs of living are low
cred.
Retail prices for many commodi.
ties are much too high, he declared
adding. that without justification
workmen's wages have been advanc.
ed through reclassification SO as tc
designate them as skilled men.
Il think" he continued, there
has been and still is charged an6
collected for certain commoditie.
unreasonable and unfair, if not >ex.
tortiOnate, prices. They apply tt
particular lines and persons.
Outrageous Prices.
"The public is aware Of the facts
Different products have been pur
chased from the farmer, manufac
turer or others at low costs, ant
then passed on in one way or an
other and finally sold to the con
sumer at outrageous prices. Th'
vast majority OF business men an.
workmen are sincere and fair, bu
there is, and perhaps always will
be, minority that ignore the prin
ciples Of common honesty. The,
are sufficient in number to serious
ly affect the whole situation"
He urged that the observanc,
and enforcement of law be insiste,
on throughout the world, as a ne
cessity to the improvement of tn,
general situation.
"If laws shall be enforced an,
peace maintained" he sdded, ''th
other questions relating to eco
nomic progress and achievement
will be solved. II it should b.
deemed necessary and wise to hav
government supervision over or
ganized industry, in order to pro
tect the public interest, l personal
ly would not object, provided tn
laws and rules shall apply alike t.
organized capital and organized la
bor."
The speaker asserted that one o
the most hopeful signs Of tn
times, was the apparent disposi
ton of the present administration
at Washington to aid rather thai
obstruct the natural and legitimat
progress Of business.

GIVES STATEMENT
OF EDUCATION
IN MISSOURI

P. p. Claxton, commissioner Of edu-
cation Of the United States, has pre-
pared an article regarding the edu-
cation in Missouri, the result Of his
observation and inquiries in connec-
ton with the educational conferences
called by Governor Hyde which met
in Jefferson City January 6 and z
a few days before Hyde's inaugur-
alton.
In pointing out the inadequacy of
teachers salaries in this state, he
says that in some places in the state,
the annual pay Of a teacher is less
than what it costs to feed one prisoner
in the county Jail for a year, and the
prisoner is not required to pay for
lodging, heat, water, light and medi-
cine Another companions which Mr..
Claxton makes is that Missouri
spends three times as much a year for
tobacco as is spent for education.
He says that there is no equality in
the burden of the school support, peo-
pie in some counties having to pay
several times as much as those in
other counties.
The official report Of Mr.. Claxton
for the year 1919 regarding tax rate,
length of school term and salaries fol
teachers for each month show Aud
rain county to have the following:
local tax, minimum, 40; maximum
65; ratio of maximum to minimum.
1 5-S; length Of school term, max
imum, 100, minimum 100; diff
ference between maximum, 80; sal
aries of teachers per month, min
imum, $50; maximum, 500; average
of rural teachers, $40. Compared with
figures 70 rother counties, Audrair
pays about the average salary, but is
much lower than some.

CONDEMN HIGH PRICED
STOCK FOODS
Prominent Hog Raiser Says Prices
Charged Are Unwarranted-
Makes His Own Hog Food,
With Better Results.

"That he is all through paying fancy
prices for stock foods and hog rem
edies and he is raising some Of the
best hogs ever placed on the market
was the statement made recently by
E. H. Beekstead,w well known hog raiser
and authority on live stock.
Mr.. Beckstead's hogs are the envy
Of his neighbors, and have topped the
market for several years in Iowa.
He states that for years he bought
h~igh-priced hog foods and hog rem
edies, but he is all through paying ev-
travagant prices for what he can make
himself. He states that what the hogs
need are minerals, and tells the secret
of his wonderful success by explaining
that he takes about five pounds of
ordinary mineraline (which is pure
concentrated minerals and costs only a
couple of dollars) and mikes same
with enough bran or filler to make a
hundred pounds. All hogs, and es-
neutrality-suspicious. require minerals as
they keep them free from worms, and
in the pink of condition, and r essen
tial to the hog growth and a well bal
anced ration. This inexpensive mix
ture placed in a sheltered box where
the hogs can get at it as they need it,
will produce far better results than
any high priced so-called stock foods.
Send two dollars to The Mineraline
Chemical Co., 1888 North Wells ST.,
Chicago, Ill, and they will forward
you by prepaid parcel post enough
minrealine to make a full hundred
pounds 48-4t Adv.
