Agricultural prices are not apt to recover the high September levels during the next few weeks. | Wheat Some further increases in wheat prices may be expected between now and February, 1929. Protein premiums may also increase as the pressure on storage space in the milling centers becomes less severe and the receipts of high protein wheats become small- er.

But a reaction is bound to come, because if all wages are low, the masses will not be able to afford commodities that were bought before. The industries that are pro- ducing the articles therefore cannot survive without a market. They must close up, throwing hundreds or thousands out of work. The result is Panic and chaos. Statistics show the labor supply in this country is suffi- cient to supply demand, and present wages help to uphold the standard of ithe entire nation. Economic Issues Tariff, in a measure, has the same effect as a strict immigration law. A protective tariff compels foreigners to pay for the privilege of sellingyin American markets. It brings the “cost of foreign production un to the cost of domestic. If our prices were al- lowed to drop to the level of foreign Prices, then wages would automatic- ally drop to foreign levels too.

Mrs. Verna Bailey, who is one of the few official women hotel clerks in North Dakota cities, has learned .| to study the character of the guests by their voices. “I don’t look at their hands or study their faces, I listen to them,” Mrs. Batley said. No matter how tired men are or how badly they want their favorite room in the hotel, they are still easier to accommodate, to Mrs. Bailey. She finds them more busi- ness like to deal with and not as fussy over detajls as women. Mrs. Bailey has been at the Hotel Prince since the opening. “We have had many celebrated guests which it has been my pleasure to meet personally.” Mrs., Bailey recalls especially Roald Amundsen, the late explorer, Admiral Bradford, several Northern Pacific of- ficials and stage celebrities. “Distinguished guests are always the humblest and easiest to please,” she remarked. The slim, violet-eyed girl, who checks you in and out at the Hotel Prince, was once a physical education teacher, despite the fact that her ap- ‘pearance connotes none of the Ama- zonian tendencies. “I have always loved music,” she confided, which probably was respon- sible for her interest in teaching rhythmic sports to her pupils. Mrs. Bailey is not a club woman. “My work keeps me at the desk dur- ing the day, and I want my evenings to be free,” she explained. She has a convincing way of tell- ing you why she does or does not do things, and she must be right because her guests always find her cheerful. —————— Dr. Geo. F.
