together, they could buy these 10 cent cigars at
three for quarter.
That meant that the cigars cost 1-3 cents each.
On the transaction they saved five cents
Now question came up. Should these farmers
be taxed on the five cents they saved because they
were able to buy 1Oc cigars at three for quarter
There were people who went marching up and
down the land carrying the banner Of Private en-

taxed the five cents they saved because they were
able to buy 10 cent cigars at three for a quarter
The farmers scratched their heads and wondered.
They were not mad at anybody. They were not
against free enterprise. They showed some enter
prise being able to buy 10 cent cigars at three for
a quarter. They had made saving.
All they had done was to club together so they
could buy and sell at better advantage

The way this story starts is that once upon time
there were two men who wanted to go into business
They wanted to set up cigar store.
They had some money, but not enough. So they
borrowed what they needed. Then they opened their
cigar store and began selling cigars
They sold cigars at 10 cents apiece. Business
was good. They sold lot of cigars and made a LOT
Of money In fact they sold so many 10 cent cigars
that they made millions Of dollars.
At the end of the year they figured up their
profits. They set aside some for reserve. They
paid interest on the money they borrowed Or may
be it was dividends the stock they issued
Then they kept all the profit after paying taxes.
They were good businessmen.
Now it happened that there were three farmers
who lived near this cigar store They liked to smoke
cigars They liked the particular 10 cent brand that
the cigar store sold.
But these three farmers knew that there was
big profit in that brand Of cent cigars. And they
did not have any too much money to spend cigars
So they got together to talk things over, the way

products have been free of controls
since June 80. Eggs at that date were
selling at A cents and now after four
months of no price control, eggs are
selling~at 70 cents. Butter just before
June 30, was055c pound; is now sell

gress consists of a majority of men
like Taft Bilbo, Wherry and D'Ewart,
whatever price controls remain will
be abruptly overthrown and the legal
lied black market will make adequate
food available but only to the
wealthy. The lapse of price control on
livestock and meats, during July and
August, did not increase total supplies.
1t simply ended a sellers strike
against price control and incidently
against the welfare of the consumer
Sales at the principal markets during
the months of July and August show
ed that the majority of stock sold
during that period sold below former
OPA ceiling, yet we were paying 6Oc
for hamburger, S5c for chops and so on
all along the line. Who got this differ
entail in prices? Certainly not the
stock growers. Because a check of the
principal markets during a period of
one week when cattle prices reached
a top of $1,000 per hundredweight, the
great percentages were bought below
former OPA ceiling prices; only 81
head out of thousands sold brought
the top price.
Huge Increase In Profits
Department of Commerce figures
show that the packing industry profits
are five times what they were before
the war, and Armour &c Co., the second
largest packing company in the U. S.
showed a profit of $9,600,000 in the
first eight months of 1916 as compared
with $9,50O,000 in IL months of 1915.

November 9Th. Now that controls are
lifted, the little groceries and meat
markets and other shops operated by
rugged individuals will find they are
not as free from price control as they
imagined. They will merely be ex-

prices to the little merchant, who in

Little Merchants Will Go
Bankrupt

The little merchant will be maneuv-
cred into the position where he must
skimp his profits to keep his custom
ers. Finally, when the public is no
longer willing or able to pay the in
flated prices, it is the little merchant
who will go bankrupt. He will be re-
placed by agents of big industries that
fix prices The big industries will then
control retail outlets for their products
as well as wholesale outlets. You say,
Mr.. Little Merchant, st can't happen
here. The big packer and chain store
can and will undersell you and let you
sweat it out with your customer. You
have been told by the meat industry
and republican politicians that you
were being regimented. Some swallow
ed their smooth words and applauded
when their congress crippled price
control and made it helpless. Some
gloated with glee when the president
was forced to take off control
The echo of his voice had not died
away before a spokesman for the
packers announced a raise in the price
Of meat-"a little below the black
market price" he said

Atomic Board Decision

The ideal employment for atomic
energy is in industry, transportation
and kindred useful pursuits. Its posi-
bilities are unlimited.
The only way this might be
accomplished is by a world agreement
outlawing it's use in war. Such an
agreement seems possible in view of
the success of the agreement outlaw
ing poison gas. Although there were
reports that the japanese used gas in
China and the Germans in the Caucasus,
there was no general employment there
of as during the First World War.
Perhaps it would not prove too
much for mortal men, with all their
evil ~propensities during warfare. to
'forego the use of atomic bombs too.
But it would be sheer folly, and GER
tainly invite atomic attack, to be un-
prepared to meet any enemy on equal
terms that saw fit to wage atomic
warfare.
One of the reasons poison gas was
not used in World War II is that the
Allies, particularly the United States,
were ready to battle Europe and the
parts of Asia under fire with such a
flood of deadly gases that few persons
would survive. By the same token, it is
only fair to assume that one of the
surest ways to prevent atomic attack
would be to have an adequate supply
of bombs ready for instant use, in the
same way we had an almost exhaust
less supply of poison gas.
If this is a reasonable position, and
it is at least plausible, the decision to
have a military mar on the atomic
board appears to be wise. This does
not imply discredit to the scientists.
1t merely suggests that this side of
the Millennium there can be no assur-
ance that this new and terrible power
would not again be used destructively,
and if the nations survival were at
stake it would be we'll to have the mill
tary as well as the scientists on the
job.

BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
Americas Card Authority

No group in the country enjoys
intercity competition more than
bridge players do. Recently q
eastern players chartered a special
plane and flew out to California
to participate in Bridge Week. Two
national championship events we're
held there this year. the national
mixed team-of-four in Los Angeles
and the national mixed pairs in
San Francisco.
The mixed team-of-four title was
won by Mr. and Mrs. George Wells
and Mr.. and Mrs. James Dunn. all
of San Francisco. Mrs. Dunn also
won the Western women's pair
championship. All were impressed
by her fine play.
If East had opened the ace of
diamonds or today's hand and
continued with a diamond, the con-
tact could have been defeated: but
when he opened the three of clubs,
Mrs. Dunn did not make the mis-
take of allowing it to ride up to her
jack. She trumpet it in dummy
with the three of hearts, then led
the queen of hearts.
She continued playing hearts
until she picked up Vests king,
then she started on the diamond
suit. Thus she was able to dis
card her losing spade on dunn
my's good diamond.
=
If Mrs. Dunn had won the first
trick with the jack OF clubs, she
would have had to use the ace of
spades Immediately as an entry

hearts. Then she would have
given up a diamond and a spade.

May Be Near End

Former President Herbert Hoover,
who has seen at short range the food
situation in Europe and Asia, declares
the acute food shortage in the "starv-
ing countries will be ended by August.
The very heavy shipments of foods
from this country, he adds, should be
stopped at least by mid-August, al
though the need for help will continue
for another year.
This should mean that staple foods
ought to be more plentiful in American
stores, and at more reasonable prices
than have recently prevailed. In fact,
local merchants are pretty we'll in agree
ment that shortages and current high
prices are nearing an end.
Their view is corroborated by a dis
trict supervisor for one of the great
meat packing companies, who says that
his company within a week supplied it's
customers with five beef c~arcasses,
which in most cases have proved an
over-stock because of the consume re-
fusal to pay the prices asked. It is his
opinion that with beef on the hoof
reaching stockyards in increasing guam
titles and retail sales slowing down,
there will be a sudden drop in price,
with reputable merchants putting tags
on favorite cuts comparable with nor
mai levels of four years ago.
This is but one mans opinion, but he
is in close touch with the nations
meat supplies and consequently speaks
with the authority Of experience. May
be the reliable law of supply and de-
mand is beginning to function auto
matically.
