The recommitment of the bill too of- ten indicates its death, and the manmer in which such action has been taken In this instance indicates that such is the hope of the opponents. It can be recognized that this coun- try needs to curtail its expenditures, but proper comsideration should e given to the repudiation of a moral ob- ligation and whatever efforts are ds voted to retrenchment should be cone scientionsly made when there is at stake those things that call for large expenditures but which can wait with- out harm or without refusing to keep a promise, STATE GROWN APPLES, It is an old story for people fo won- der what has become of the apples that used to be grown in the orchards in nearby towms or nearby states. They are conscions of the well polished ap- ples from the west that are offered to them, but they experience difficalty in getting the frwit that they would great- ty prefer. Dealers do not experience any trouble in getting the western fruit but they declare the mative apples arc difficult to get, and they don't make as good a showing on the counter. That the cry for eastern apples hay reached certain of the growers is indi- cated by the statement made by the president of the horticultural soctety in Vermont who is a large apple ralser and who recognizes that there are ad- vantages of climate, soil and market that favor the eastern growers. His view of the trouble is that not enough apples are produced to mect the de mands upon the eastern growers, who raise fruit that will compare with that grown in the far west. Too great Is there the disposition to let the orchards take care of themselves, produce what they will and almost expect that tme crop will market itseif. The reason for the large amount of apples grown in the west is that apple growing is made a busipess. They take care of their or- chards, insist npon producing attractive fruit and realize that demand is creats | thereby. Apples can be grgwn, and afe grown, In New England and in Connecticat that outdistance the western fruit, bu: they do not come from neglected or- chards or from the farms where the happy-go-lucky method of production ‘s, permitted to exist. The call for eastern apples is unquestionably a real one and the chance to supply the demand ought to make an attractive appeal to more than it does. — THE FIGHT STILL ON. In these days of stock dividends there certainly did not go unnoticed the re- port to the effect that the Ruppert brewery has declared a stock dividend that would increase it from a capmall- zation of $100,000 to $15,000,000. In these days breweries are restricted ‘o the production of near beer, if they keep within the law. That some of them do not is the conviction of some of the other brewers who maintain that they @. TUnder ordinary circumstances it would not be supposed that there was ‘business enough in sight i the mamu- factyre of near beer to warrant any sach capitalization as this Ruppert brewery has decided upom. The one inference to be gained from such action is that the bellef exists that there is to be a modification of the Voi- stead act and the brewery is to be maintained under this large capitaliza- tion for the purpose of being prepared to meet the demands for the product just as soon as it comes. It is not too much to belteve that there are others who are disposed to look wpon tho ex- pressions which have been given at the ballot boxes in certain states in the same way, and the indications are that preparations are being made to such aw end. - This of couree doesn't agree with the votes which have beén taken In cor- tain other states in uvhoMing prohibi- tion and the Volstead act, and it % not in accord with the opimion that has been expressed following a survey of the next congress that it will be just as dry if not dryer than the present ome, Taken as a whole the situation makae it evident that the prohibition question is due for much more agitation. There is a demand for better enforcement of the law than is being obtained and it 15 not improbable that every possible éffort will be made for the mogificueron of the existing law, of the new congress are going to Wash- ington for the purpose of smashing the Volstead law, but there are also mem- bers of the new congress who are drier than those who were chosen to stay at home. — EDITOBIAL NOTES.

It looks so scant and so plain. It doesn’t look like a dress, somehow.” sighed Mrs, Cargany. and flounces were in you abowt more simolicity, and now that we have these artistic. simple, straight lines. you say that & charming froek lke this doesm't look like a dress. Well, never mind, wait till you see it on me, and then youw'll admit it is chic. Just ndte the sleeves! Fancy sieeves are awfully smart now, and arem’t tise beautifully bead- ed?” “I'll say they are.” Cargany contem- plated the sieeves seriously. ‘“They look almost as barbaric as the beaded mocca- sins my grandfather brought me from the far west when I was 10. I suppose we have learned a lot from the aborigines, haven't we?” Mre. Cargany sniffed daintily. “Tt was a petfeetly marvelous bargain, Bill,” she said. “That was why I got it.” “Oh! I wondered why.” Mrs., Cargany gaye him a withering glance. “T saw the frock in the window at Laurell's yesterday, tracted toward it at omce. I knew it womld be just the thing for the club and for little teas. and do you know, Billy, it fitted me per- fectly !” “Fitted you?> That th'gg fitted you?” “Why, yes, it hung nicely and set well on me. These lines were good on me. These loose things aren't expected to fit exactly. 1 was delighted with it and I told the saleswoman that I'd take it. Then A Little Talk on Thrift The World Waste. Never before in the history of the world has there been such urgent need of the unmiversal practices of thrift. From the most reliable statistics obtal able at this time, the total world in- debtedness is $380,000,009,000. This in- cludes all the national bligations of one hundred countries and colonies. As an indication of the rapid inroads that the war and various forms of waste have made on the resources ot humanity, a few comparative figures may be quoted. The total prewar in- debtedness of the one hundred countries and colonies was $43,000,000,000. At the end of the war this amount had risen to , $205,000,000,000. Therefore, world, wide national indebtedness increased $162,000,000,000 during the four-year war period, or a little over $40,000,000, 000 a year. Between 1918 and 1921, the date of the litest avaflable figures bearing on this subject, the increase was $175,000,000,000, or more than $50,000,000.000 per year. In other words, through lack of in- tensive thrift the world waste since the war closed is annually about $10,000.- 000,000 more than during the years of the most destructive conflict of all times, It is to be borme in mind, of course, that these fizures do not make an em- tirely ecchrate revelation of the world- wide economic status. Money in itself is not weakh. It s merely the symbol of wealth. Also, a portion of world in- debtedness would be elimimated it all the nations could gef together and bal- ance thefr' accounts. However, taking all of these thimgs into consideration, the fact remains that during the last eight years there has been the most prodigious loss of wealh that has ever been witnessed. And whatever has been lost, whether through' war's destruction or through economic waste, can only be Testored through practices of thrift. is a fundamental that cammot be denied. In searching for the root of advanc- ing commodity costs, world-wide econ- omic instability, and social unrest, one meed go no further than these figures. People in all countries must work and smave and develop efficlency. And, as America is today the leader of nations, it is the rightful duty of the people of this country to set an exmmple in thrift for all humanity to follow—S. W.

She was most pleasant. She said all that I need do was to pay a smali deposit and the costume would be laid aside for me. I thanked her and paid $3. So this morming, just as soon as 1 could, I went back to Laurell's for my frock. Imagine how I felt when 1 saw it, or one just like it, in the win- dow for $7 less than they charged me yesterday. 1 could scarcely believe my eyes, because I thought yesterday's price remarkably reasonable.” “Did you swoon, dear?’ “Hard®y. I marched into the shop, right up to the cashier. Then I asked for my dress and remarked casually that I noticed that the price had been reduced $7. The cashier said that it was not the same garment, but I knew it was, and when my dress was brought she ask- ed a clerk whether that style of costume was on special sale In the window and the clerk said yes. I hope she wasn't reprimanded for her truthfulness after- ward. “The manager was called and he de- clared that 1 had bought the costume yesterday and must pay yesterday's price. 1 said that the transaction was not completed yesterday and that as I had to pay the major part today, I was lhll)'mg it more today than yesterday, and that I would never pay yesterday’'s price. At first he was obstinate, but you know, Billy, I dont believe in let- ting anybody get ahead of me, and I kept on jnsisting. At last he said T { could have back my $2. He said it rode- “ “That's perfectly satisfactory, thank you’ I said very pleasantly. ‘Then I shall just buy it over again at the pres- ent price.’ “What's the use of doing all that? he inquired. ‘Take it’ And I did, at the sale price. “Wasn't it lucky.

Why should I be expected to pa. $7 more today than any one eise would have to?

IN THE DAY’S NEWS Ticine A major item of geographical news arises from the accession of the fascis- ti in Italy because of Mussolini’s re- ported announcement that his govern- ment will seek the transfer of the Swiss canton of Ticino to “Greater Italy.” “Haly’s irredentism, born in the late seventies of the last century, bore fruit when the Trentino region came to her of the World war. With that encourage- ment it is not surprising that her dream bf uniting Italians under the Italian government should persist. “Ticino is so situated and so populat- ed that it could not weil help being the ,next place for the irredentist lightning to strike.
