He has built up a ruble buying ang selling organization that is said to bring him an income of a million rubles a month, a sum equal in normal time to $500,000.

The buying,publi has long realized that an ‘unprecedented scarcity of wool threatened the fabric of garments. Now we are told, in unmistakable terms, by the highest command in United States, that the entire civil- ian population of,the country is to be placed in “shoddy” next year. On top of this comes the news from Congress that a tax of 20 per cent is to be placed on a large percentage of garments. There is every reason to believe that this new tax is become effective next month. There is merely one purpose of this statement, and that is to fully acquaint the buying " The handwriting is plainly on the wall. area 7a public with the facts. There is no cause for alarm. When the American government says to put the population in “shoddy” there will not be a murmer of complaint. If that is to be a part of our “bit,” is will be done willingly.
