Looking Forward

BY William Henry Huff for AMP
There must always be looking
forward
An expectant looking forward
Call n forward or ahead
But that looking must be for a
something
Infinitely greater, nobler
Than apparel. meat or bread.
II must he for something real and
fadeless
That will stand the changing wea-
Their.
Season In and season out
Things unseen alone are pure and
lasting
Everything We see II fleeting;
This trulsm none can doubt.

WAR AND LIVING COSTS

1t is difficult to understand why there
should be any increase in the cost of living
in the United States, solely as result of
the war in Europe, at least for long time
to come.
We have great SURPRISES of nearly
everything necessary to maintain high
standard of living, besides the facilities
port twice as much as we do now without
causing any real shortage of food or other
commodities.
Based on a nationwide survey by one
of the largest food corporations, the
statement was made last week by C. M.
justification for unreasonable food prices.
He also pointed out that less than per
cent of food consumed in the United
States comes from abroad, and less than l
per cent from countries now at war. Even
these small percentages largely represent
luxuries, rather than necessaries.
The American people as whole are
determined that there shall be no extern
sive profiteering, with the war in Europe
as an excuse. There will be cases of goug-
ing here and there, but the practice is not
likely to become general.
Usual fluctuations in prices within
reasonable limits, due to domestic supply
and demand, will occur as always, but in
general we do not appear to- be in danger
of facing excessive living costs in the i'm
mediate future.
