"Past history has proved quite conefruively that you can no more legislate the cost of living up and down than you can stop the tide by build-; ing a sea wall," says Roger W. Bab- j son, national expert In finance. "The basic economic law of supply and de^ mand always has and always will de- J termine prices," he declres, "in spite of articificial restrictions which may seem to interfere temporarily." "When demand exceeds supply, prices are bound to rise. With three j hungry men with one loaf of bread,1 but one thing can happen. When supply exceeds demand the reverse is true. Three loaves of bread to one man bring prices tumbling down. "The real cause for the present high level prices is apparent when you j realize that the United States is ex-1 porting at present twice the foodstuffs if DTnnWori * vpjir ?? < >. and three ! "?"

"Their crop of 1919 will help some, hot we must wait until the harvest of! 1920 before they are wholly independ-' ent of this country. If the general! public can be educated to an appreciation of the situation as it is. and oan be made to see that the well-being of f.veiy one of us depends upon every man producing as he has never produced before, supply can be increased to meet and exceed this unprecedented demand and we shall weather the storm with everybody ahead. ' "Under the circumstances, It is more of a religious question than an economic one. Maximum production on the part of every individual must .be made a moral issue. * * * * Der :creased demand means depression, and employment and hard !?mes for; everybody. Increased production will meet the situation and solve the problem." 'But that can only be accomplish- j od by every man putting his shoulder, " to the wheel, and producing as he j never produced before. * * When ;the majority of the people were made to feel that slavery was wrong, it was j abolished.

IE DOOR lllj STAMPS FOLLOWING FUG AROUND WORLD Thrift Campaign Goes On Wherever Old Glory Waves?Cheering News Comes From Faraway Constantinople. Along with the men of the Navy, the War Savings Stamp is following the flag round the world. In the Mediterranean squadron, the government savings securities are as much a part of the battleships and cruisers that are aiding in straightening out the tangled affairs of Asia Minor as the ammunition hoists. Tor American thrift has not stopped at home. The savings campaign organized by the Savings Division of the Treasury Department is being carried out by both officers and men through War Savings Societies, Thrift Stamps. War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates. A letter just received by the Savings Division from Captain David F. Boyd, commanding U. S. S. Olympia at Constantinople brings the information that the thrift campaign on that vessel has been placed in charge of Lieutenant H. K. Koebig. Captain Boyd fare assurance of the co-operation of himself and his men in the work. PAID FOR FUNERAL War Savings Stamps are as inevitable as death and taxes, and they benefit the dead as well as the living. Recently John Kirkiras died in Dayton, Ohio. He left no relatives and two who sought to give him a proper burial were confronted with difficulty in financing the funeral. Kirkiras had died leaving no ready cash, and the solicitous friends were afraid that public charity would have to be eharged with the burial expenses. They discovered, however, that before he died the man had invested in about $100 of War Saving Stamps. A trip to the Dayton postoffice and the observance of the necessary formalities enabled them to pay the undertaker's bill.

He would see our courts all leveled, and the judges on the rack, and the plutocrats bedeviled till they gave up 11 their stack. He would see all things upended, justice he would render mute; then his cfeoneee would be splendid to accumulate some loot. I have seen some agitators stirring up the people's souls, and they all wore cast-off gaiters and their pants were full ef holes. And they said their chains were clanking as they damned the plutocrat; if they'd only do some banking they would soon get ever that.
