Of course the unscrupulous, who
ake advantage of a situation like
the present to coiner and romhim
nd force up prices, have a hand in
and If the Investigators could
reach these and give them a long
mi In Slate prison. It would be
orth while. But nothing will come
of the Investigation. Moreover, the
high prices are. in the main, due to
hort crops and the big demand for
food products, as well as other
things, on account of the war.
The city consumer thinks the rar
er is rolling in wealth on acrount
of the high prices. The producer is
benefited of course, but he hasn't to
much to sell on account of tho crop
shortage and the high price makes
up ror the shortage. If there wire
big crops the prices would be lower
of course. The .farmer would have
more to sell and get less. As It la he
has less to sell and gets more. So it

probably reaps the lion's share of the
profits.
But how human we all are. When
prices are depressed and farm Pro
ducts are low, the producer demands
that the government "pass a law" or
do something to boost prices. They
wanted the government to buy a few
million bales of cotton and destroy
the cotton, when the price of the Ma
ple was low a few years ago. At
such times the city consumer ridi
cules the producer for asking for
government help to boost prices. Now
that prices of food products are
oaring the city consumers have set
up a great yell. They demand that
the government do something to
bring down the price. They want
an embargo on the export of food
products, investigations and other
things.
The only sensible thing for the
consumer to do Is. when the price of
any article gets to the point he
thinks he can't afford, Is to put It on
the luxury list and leave it off. If one
will try that he'll be amazed how
ninny things he can do without.

whether there exist agreements
among groups of dealers or producers

ments to raise prices or otherwise
have contributed to the upward trend
of prices.
3 Enactment of legislation to
remedy the present situation and to
prevent its recurrence.

country has become so thickly set
tled and so well cleared up of forest
that there are no longer any foxes to
hunt, and the expense and Inconve
nience of going to where the foxes
are Is too much for the fun obtained
In the chase.
Seven of as fine hounds as ever
yelped behind a fox in the woods
around here left Monday afternoon
when Mr. Tillman's pack of spotted
beauties were loaded In the express
car. Mr. Tillman .d he did not
know whether he would ever get any
more dogs or not. as he would have
nothing but the best and they were
hard to get.
