Harm will conic to American .'ovcnnin'iit. American industry ami the Ameri can people, it' a few sales of army supplies at less than the market price should lead to the ronvietion that government can supply food at prices lower than charged hy private concerns. The food row selling to the puMic was bou-jlit in immense quantities at rela tively low prieo. to which prices there was not added the overhead cost of asking for, ren i inj, coiiidcrintr and deciding on bids, re ceipt and storage id' goods, transportation in army trucks, with all the overhead expenses incident thereto, wages of soldiers, wear and tear on army equipment, etc It will n ssarily take time to com pute costs to the government mid the people in connection with sales of army fund Local government officials have contributed their services; lo.-al committees have contributed their time, com munity builiitig. siieh as school houses, public markets, have been used w ithout allowance tor ivnts. Citizens have bought in lragcr iii iiiiit!es tolian they usually do Newspapers have freely advertised the sales. Liners have transported most of their purchases instead of having them delivered by the seller. Few, if any, of these facts Me jakni into considerai ion. w Inn people compare prices they have he n paying for army food with prices charged by local dealer. Tic American people will ga'n nothing by fooling thftinel ves.

I i;t. neither new or at any time in the future will it be possible for any government agency to engage in retailing merchandise and do it elie.-ij.fr I tun: it is done by the average retail merchant. i a M laa THE HIGH COST OF LIVING. I liuMlNKNT jirodiicc dealer in San Francisco said the other he : "If the people should take it into their heads to stop eaiii g nut one peiiMiabb fund for five days they could ruin the i.'.trl.e!." He knew what he was talking about. It may he that 1 ic ring is iit the bottom of present high juices but a man cannot pr.ilite.r .f on refuse to buy his goods. The reason that prices is huh js that the peoj.le are wuhng to buy nowadays at any cost 'I he old law of sujiply and demand that the professor of economies iea lies in emiige is as true now as in tribal days. It is always at me ciiininaml of the jieojile. Let the demand for a product slack ; i' and the j. i i "c drops.

For instance it is not so long ago 'ii.it Jinnies wore ttie desjiiseil heritage of cheap restaurants and plain boaiding houses where they took the place of a more expen s.ve flint. Today the prime is clashed with the aristocrats of the table as a delica. y that commands a price equal to that of grape fruit 1. 1 ..isab.i.

OKtiANIZKD labor has its legitimate place in the economic plan of the nation ami it is astonishing that nothing has been done in this eoiiiiiiiniin lo encourage the jilan of getting and keeping la bor tomther. Had the mine workers of Tonnpnh been organized it is possible that the jir.scnt strike would not have occurred for the reason that there would hae been a central body to treat with in presenting ami considering demands. An unorganized body is nothing more than a mob which is under no restraint and subject to no restrictions when it conies to responding to any matters af fecting the body as a whole. Had Tonojiah been organized there would not hae been a chance for the Holslievists to get in their deadly work by usurping the j. laces of the legitimate workers at the first breath of unrest. Those disturbers stepped in at tilt psycholo gical moment when the minds of the workers were in a ferment and appoint. m themselves leaders of the local situation in which thev a penii, s interest. They knew nothing of the mines of the miners who had made the name of Tonopah the contentment and satisfied toil for the past twenty interlopers were masters of the art of con- re blindly grimine for a leader and thov tared themselves the 1 OS's 1 TAKE NOTICE, AUTOISTS! j If the church rolls were purged f ; me names oi me Dmi iwr, DOttfied ' nht In hull. . !,.( All antolsts are hereby that the town ordinances relative to traffic will oe strictly enforced In the future.
