business standards shall have in

the year.
Not that one should "sell all that
he has and give to the poor" The
world is too sensible to follow that
in a literal sense; there is ever a
modest medium which can be enjoy
ed and all will be the happier. True
charity is giving away something
that one cares to keep; and few are
they who practice that trait. 1t is
not necessary There may be always
found some little thing about the
home that can be used to give pleas
ure to someone with no deprivation
of self. Even that will spread the
Christmas spirit.
Efforts are being MADE by several
in Palatka to make
Christmas the happier for the needy
and especially for the children. 1t

a universal desire to use others as

WHY LEATHER PRICES
WENT OVER THE TOP

Figures compiled by the American
Legion Weekly regarding the profit
gracy of some of the purchasing bu-
reaus of war material rove of ex-
ceeding interest-even at this late
ldate. The data has been secured by
that publication only after a search
ing investigation, and the following
extract fro man article of consider
able length should be carefully read
and as carefully considered:
"a total of 5SO,1S2 horses and
mules were on army property rolls
during the war.
"For these 1918 brushes were
bought-nearly three to each ami
NAL.
"For these 2O33,2O4 nose bags
were bought-more than three to
each animal
For these 2,S5O,S53 halters were
bought-nearly five to each animal.
"Of the 5SO,1S2 horses and mules,
$4,000 were saddle horses. For these
'945,000 saddles were bought-not
quite II saddles to each horse.
"a total of 1850 sets of spur
straps were bought, enough to supply
every mounted officer with 35 sets"
1t may be remembered that during
the latter days of the war there was
an increase in the price of shoes
which, towards the last, amounted to
fully three hundred per cent; yet at
no time during the war was the price
of leather quoted ia an increase of
more than 20 per cent. Shoes for ci-
villains went as high, at the time
when wages were banormal and
money was plenty, as twenty-five
dollars the pair, selling at retail; and
the government paid $7,15 per pair
when contracts were awarded for
thrity-two million pairs! Later these
shoes sold at retail for as low as
three dollars-and that, too, after
they had been handled through sew
eral houses, each of which took its
quota of profit.
The American Legion Weekly is
doing a great work in burrowing into
details of graft. 1t should keep up
the work; for the days of grating
have not ended.

1t is a foregone conclusion that if

There has been evolution as well
as revolution in business in the last
few years. Business is becoming

with the spirit of cooperation instead
