With cotton seed selling at $52.00 a ton, cotton seed meal at $42.00 a ton, hulls at $16.00 a ton, the price of bottles, de livery service, wages, taxes, etc., steadily advancing, many farmers are barely getting enough for milk to meet the cost of production.

Attractive no-|p^,^ merchandise. With rapid- smile. But going back to the merchants— big and little—the great majority of them, we believe, are doing the best they can in these critical and uncer tain days. The business firm sus- picioned of chiseling or taking ad vantage of its customers needs to be watched, singled out and if guilty, condemned by the buying public. But the merchant does not deserve to be the advancing manufacturing prices, “•k^s'stoi SerNofotroT^fe’ his «Ulng This btore Does Not Open on me ^ business Lord’s Day.” Friends told us the firm had followed this six-day policy since it opened year.s ago and that it ranks as one of the most successful in that great metropolis.

The other firm mentioned uses every minute of every twenty- four hours of the day in a drive for money, the love of which is the root of all evil. The public can take their choice, of course. For our part we would give our preference and place the greatest confidence in Druggist No. 1. Government Confusion The bigge.st problem of the United States government today is its own are a small minority. There are those who shortsightedly blame retail merchandising for price increases. They are wrong. For much of this government is responsible. As market prices increase for merchan dise bought by the merchant, the only fair and honest course for him to follow is to increase his prices pro portionately. If the markets break over-night and prices begin to tum ble, he is helpless. He must take his medicine whether he is able to sur vive or forced to close his doors. No industry is mqre awake to the danger of inflation than merchandis ing—none is more eager to prevent it.
