XXX MAY 18, 1922 No. 2 to 01 of ca la SELLING POTATOES AT S CENTS EACH w While the general campaign for readjustment continues to grow in pa volume, and attacks are still being made on the wage scale, figures-those th cold, hard convincers-show that so far as the wage earner is concerned his - cost of living remains 57.7 per cent higher than it was in 1914. This applies to the city as well as to the country, and takes into consideration simply the necessities of life. In many of the cities the percentage of living cost is still higher. Potatoes in the window of at least one store in the city bear the selling tag "5 cents each". And strangely, the people are buying them. Of course, this is ontrageous profiteering on the part of the storekeeper, but the continued sale is significant of the times and the psychology of the peo ple. The cave dwellers- those that abide in so-called apartment houses, eannot buy potatoes by the barrel. Indeed, the day has passed when they buy them by the peck. For years they have bought by the quart-dry meas ure-end now as explained the sale of the single potato has came to the I foreground Co When potatoes are sold at 5 cents each it requires more than one rob-. In her to make the diference between the price to the consumer and the price b raid to the farmer for his product. No indlvidvss possibly could displa., the impertinencoe to swfndle the people to this extent. Who gets the swag? Cl me WHAT'S THE COMBINATION? Harry Sinclair set out in the oil business as an independent operator ar when the great midcontinent oil field was in its infancy as to production. Among the independets he was a pronounced success. He carried his Inter locking companies to Wall Street, where after a time of codling his heels in the outer offices of big business, he was admitted and let In. Now it appears he is well within,-so far in that some of his companies ro are not without their federated Interests with the Standard Oil Company of _r more ancient fame. Sinclair was recently reported as hatnIg come close to a corner on all E the available ril land in the world. And among the available lands he was lot fortunate enough to find ways and means to lease the Federal oil lands re- cra served for soures of naval supply. L Now Senator LaFollette, who is just as apt to be right as wrong, de. Asl meads a Federal investigation into naval oil fields, ald why these oil do. sie posits are subjected to being greatly depleted by the Sinclair exploitations. Nel What is an independent oil operator? When does an independent be come a comlne and the beaster of spelal grants and privileges? These are quesileas that te "Ildependents" sueh as Sinclair c was, are asking. Mreover, they want to know it Harry Sinclair and his companies are still of the lndepedent" class, how is it 'that he is privileged to get on, or atI least next to goverament oil lands which carry the "keep off the grass" signs for them. What's the combinaton that gets into this Federal vault of fluid gold? Gamolio took another jump last week. HOMEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922 ins It's raining! Lrd, Isn't that grand!

In a recent letter to a college instructor in Portland Prof. Fred 9 erick J. Turner of Harvard cuts a loose with a couple that are above s the ordinary. One concerns the Maine guide who was given a watch by a friend and admirer. At the end dof the season the guide wrote: "That was the best watch I ever had. Gained enough time during the season to pay all my expenses." Another is about a Mr. Gilkin, who was indorsed for governor of Colorado in an off year. In the let tar of recommendation Gilkin's friend said: "Mr. Gilkin is by far the best man for the position. He was the dis osverer of Pike's peak." RUBBER HEELS 6OPULAR As an example of the almost umi. versal use of the rubber heel, con servative figures prepared by the Rubber Association of America show - that 125,000,000 pairs of rubber heels were sold in this country dur. ing 1920. From Brockton, Mass., one of the great shoe centers, comes the information that 84 per cent of all shoes made there go out equipped with rubber heels. In one day re cently one factory in Akron turned at 203,138 pairs of rubber heels.
