It seems unfortunate that any one should have to go into the army to escape from this kind of thing'. For many people it is an excellent thing to be in the army? but it is sad that there should be no otner environment except, perhaps, the navy where j things are called, by their real name& Sincerity in these two branches of public service is natural; the member don't have to sell anything to make a living. But a fairly good alternative would be found in the develop ment of a 'corresponding sincer ity in civil life. "MUTT & JEFF'S DEE AM"' tfSMisrasKSKS ATT 3. JLeIj TIEED OUT a : i Friday, September 5, 1919 GET THEM WITH THE GOOD'S At the end of July the supply of creamery butter showed an in crease of 129 per cent against the figures given for the same time last year. Yet the price was 53 cents a pound, against the former price of 41 cents. It may be the fault of hoard ing profiteers or wage-boosting profiteers, or profiteering middle men.

It is an inquiry a recognition of our ignorance of the facts, and a desire to lighten our ignorance. And the blame probably rests on more than, one mischievous agency, it is necessary to identify them all, , it and determine the proportion of U guilt at the time of the investi- It gatiom and not beforehand natural tendency to make one the goat for all should be resist ed in these deliberations. Let us get the truth first, and do the vituperating afterwards. en-as Hundreds More in Scotland Neck in the Same Plight.
