This means that we will take their long-time) ‘securities in exchange for the receipts-for-money-| ‘received now held by us. The long-time securities will have definite dates; lof maturity and definite dates for the payment, of interest. ; i _ The Mellon statement is particularly important, fas indicating, that the Harding administration! has no intention of falling for the idea that out ‘of the goodness of our hearts we should wipe this 1$10,000'000,000 off the slate as an additional con- tribution to the war. : * This idea, which had quite a vogue for a time, wnever was backed up by a rational or logical rea- ‘Bon. £ ; It was conceived in maudlin sentimentality. The $10,000,000,000 is a perfectly legitimate claim, based upon loans made by us in good faith from the gale of Liberty Bonds, which the people of America purchased with their savings. It is good to know that Mellon is arranging:to put the whole transaction on a ‘common-sense basis. ! : Nazimo' says she'll \produce a play, without..a man. Sounds as impossible as a prayer without Amen. 5 LET’S FIND OUT! Why — and how —are the prices of foodstuffs tripled between the farmer and the city consumer? ‘Who gets the difference—and for what? ‘What share of this increase is due to necéssary costs of distribution, td fair profits by middlemen, and what part represents useless costs and exces- sive profits ?, : ‘ These questions, often raised but never settled to the satisfaction, of either farmer, consumer or dealer, may find an authoritative answer if the|: special congressional commission for agricultural inquiry, proposed by a concurrent résolution ‘now pending, is approved. : " The resolution has been, favorably reported by the Senate committee on agriculture and approved by the rules committee of the. House, Its passage, declare C. S. Barrett, chairman of the National Board of Farm Organizations, will be assured if producers and consumers will unite in a demand on Congress for its passage, “The farmer ought to know why he only collects about 38 cents for every dollar his products bring when sold to the ultimate. consumer,” says Bar- rett. “On-the other hand, the consumer ought to know why he has to pay on the average nearly three times as much as the farmer receives,” The creation of this commission would give some reason to believe the answer would be found. If the commission be in earnest and its investiga- tion be thorough, it should be able to put its fitig: er on the persons and institutions that have been collecting unjustly. / oe aa Oe Hugo Stinnes head of a German ship company, has named three of his Hamburg-to-South Amer-| ‘Ica passenger ships Tirpitz, Hindenburg and Lu- ‘dendorff..

When it comes to fixing the blame for this ridic- ulous condition of things, there seems to be very great difference of opinion. Some charg@ it to the high price of steel, some to the high price of other building materials ;| others to the high wages demanded by labor. | Every fellow wants the other felow to “liqui- would be an immediate building boom. The employers and material men are beginning to quarrel among themselves as to which class} among them is the greatest profiteer, | The steel men have finally turned on the other material fellows and have given out some very interesting figures. They show that on May 1; this year, structural steel prices showed an ad- vance over May, 1913, of 43 per, cent. - Brick.in THE BISMARCK.1T RIBUN.E,the same period showed..an,.advance of 165 per | building trades labor?” ‘| wolf center. |tors—how they have tried to make the fat man jmiserable!

The employes in the building trades, who are disinclined to have their wages drastically deflat- ed, seem to have nothing on these building ma-| terial chaps. » The 43 per cent steel increase is not so much out of line, everything considered. But advances ranging from 96 to 206 per cent ‘make. the so- called labor profiteers look like pikers.

The surety companies, which go on the bonds of men in posi- tion of trust, say that they are honest; that they pay their bills more promptly than your lean and hungry. Cassiuses, and ‘that they are not so likely to get too familiar..with. the f; df ir em- ployers. For this pleasant. deductién we have the authority of the-chief ‘expert’ of the National Surety company of New York. : Goodness knows it was time somebody rose to say a good word for the fat man, for he has been getting it rightand left in recent years. Maclyn Arbuckle, as‘the fat sheriff in “The Roundup,” got an. unfgiling daugh with "his line “nobody loves a fat man.” “Even the fat man himself, good-natured ‘soul that he usually is — there is nothing more baneful on the face of hu- man nature than that rare bird, a grouchy fat man—laughed all over as his habit is, at'the joke on himself. : * | ; And the lif. insurance actuaries and the doc- of health by calling it fatally misleading. They have even indicted his excellent appetite and his| eminently well-behaved digestion; mere subtle agencies for his destruction, they have called these priceless possessions. And probably by chilling his cheer and awakening his fears they have so worked upon bis gocd spirits as to: make their dismal prognostications good in statistics. The unfortunate fat aan seemed not to have a} friend among the whole list of “experts.” But now comes the surety company expert to; eat too much and fill out his clothes. too well, he pay" his bills and doesn’t steal his employer's! money. It has been sad to-see the radiant cheer of the fat man dimmed by the dismal intelligence of self-styled experts, and it is good, therefore, to find one type of expert that is ready to say a Sood word for him. Let’s hope he will get cheer enough out of it to restore his appetite and give us back his old contagion of good feeling, which| THaTs TH | WAY It GETTIN MY START!

BY HERBERT QUICK Washington, June 6.—I have receiv-| ed a letter from one man who insists; that the breaking of the logjam of} unsold products, and the saving of: our farmers from bankruptcy—as con: templated by the Norris bill pending! in the United States Senate—will not, help lahor or other industries. I think there are few who agree! with this, since most intelligent men/ know‘that business is a chain, and its, strength is that of it sweakest link. But there may be others equally short-| sighted. For their benefit let. me: quote Commissioner A. W. Gilbert of: Massachusetts: ! “Something should be done,” says; he, writing of the Farmers; Export} (Financing Corporation, which it is pro; posed to’ have organized under the Norris bill, “to open a foreign market} for agricultural products. | “The surpluses which are cattsing 30 much bankruptcy among our farmers! are proving to be serious, not only! from their standpoint, but from the standpoint of business in-general, “| presume that a considerabl: amount of the stagnation. of business among our New England factories is) dune to the fact that the farmers of the United States have lost their buy-! ing power and are not purchasing’ our goods.” | \Senator ‘Norris’ bill provides for the! loan by the government of some of the profits it made on the farmers’) grain through the Grain Corporation to start the ‘Farmers’ Export Fnanc- ing Corporation. * i The bill will ve backed up by the Farmers’ Union, ‘National. ‘Bureau ‘of! Farm Organizations, ‘Farmers’ Na-: tional Council, National Grange, the! American Farm Bureau Federation, and so far as I know ‘all the farm! oganizations. i The Board of Directors of the Cham-) ber of Commerce of Deg Moines, lowa,| has endorsed the measure, and ad- dressed Iowa congressmen and sena- tors in its favor.

The story concerns the life of Carlotta | Peel, brought up in ignorance ‘of the world by a fond aunt,. her experience with the world when deprived of -her aunt's guidance, which ‘carries her through a romance, of wonder, not without it’s sadness but redeemed. by her regeneration of jthe man- who taught, her love,,a. pianist. who lost his grip. of life, sunk, his manhood in dissipation, but is redeemed by the true, lasting love of Carlotta.
