Think About This

It 10 better to lose a battle than to lose the benefits that flow from the vigilant, independent

press.- Senator Borah.

Perry J. Freeman

The death of Perry Freeman removes another man who contributed a full share to the material advancement of the city of Richmond. In his younger days as mayor, he inaugurated the first comprehensive improvement that marked Richmond's passing from the village to the city stage, when he secured the paving of Main street as well as beginning the construction of better streets all over the 'city. ;- j ' '. ; ' Later on he was associated with the .organization that constructed the first electric street railway and interurban line in the city, a utility whose value to the community and the surround- , ing country today Is well, understood. He was also instnunentaj in organizing -The Richmond Home Telephone Company. -r , When the business and material renaissance of Richmond began ten years ago under the leadership of the . Young ; Men's ; Business Club, Mr; Freeman was one of the moat enthusiastic and efficient members of that organization. A charter member, he was on the first board of directors and. was chairman of the first Fall Festival committee. It was largely due to his earnest work as an executive and on the finance committee that that festival was so great a success and became the foundation for later successful festivals. ' Mr. Freeman was not afraid of innovations, a fact that contributed to his fitness and success whenever he led or co-operated in aiding Richmond's material advancement. By his death the city not only loses an efficient attorney, but also a man who could always be counted upon to work whole heartedly and energetically for its progress.

Why Products Cost More Ask any grocer pr Main street dealer, why his products cost more now than they did a decade ago, and he will tell you that the cost of running a business is more expensive. ' By that he means to say that not only is the wholesale cost of products greater but also that the customer expects greater service. He will tell you that he is compelled to spend more money to give his customer favors which they did not receive ten and twenty years ago. For instance, the housewife did not order ten cents worth' of green onions and twentyfive cents worth of potatoes over the telephone and expect the grocer to deliver them as she does now. Every time the housewife uses the telephone

! to place an order she automatically adds the exi pense of this service to the cost of the onions and

the potatoes. This' item of service alone explains why produce costs more now than it did twenty years ago. We expect greater service for our money. But we forget that, as ultimate consumers, we must pay this expense. ' We cannot expect the grocer,

butcher and dry goods merchants to be able to

sell us ten cents worth of produce or goods and deliver them at the door without paying additional for the service. t

. Every thinking person will admit that the

maririn of-nroiit m a ten cent purchase is so

small that the dealer cannot maintain an expensive delivery service without charging extra for it. Again, every time you make a twenty-five cent purchase and have it "put on the book" you are increasing the "cost of doing business," forcing the merchant to charge you and his cash customers more money for the product. One reason why a Five and Ten Cent store succeeds in selling products cheap is because: First, it is a cash transaction ; secondly, there is no delivery service. , .. No one can deny that there would be a wonderful drop in the price of commodities of Richmond if all the stores tomorrow could go on a cash and non-delivery basis. Also, almost every merchant in the city would be delighted to see the change go into effect. He would assign two reasons: First, because he could sell goods cheaper and thus give better, satisfaction to his customers; secondly, because he could do away with an expensive credit system and a costly delivery system. This phase of the High Cost of Living might be kept in mind when we complain about high prices. We are as much at fault as are the dealers. '

KING-e KHYBER RIFLES

Now he chose to notice tne knife on the ebony table as if he had not seen it before. He got up and reached for it and brought it back, turning it over and over in his hand. "A strange knife." he said. "Yes.--from Khinjan," said Rewa Gunga, and King eyed him as one wolf tyea another. "What makes you say it Is from Khinjan?". . .- . "She brought it from Khinjan Caves herself! There is another knife that matches it, but that is not here. That bracelet you now wear, sahib, Is from Khinjan Caves too! She has the seert of the Caves!" ' "I have heard that the 'Heart of the Hills is there," King answered. "Is the 'Heart of -the Hills a treasure house?" . , . Rewa Gunga laughed. "Ask her, sahib! Perhaps she will tell you! Perhaps she will let you see! Who knows ? She is a woman Of resource and unexpectedness Let her women dance for you a while." ; King nodded. Then he got up and laid the knife back on the little table. A minute or so later he noticed that at a sign from Rewa Gunga a woman left the great window place and spirited the knife away. "May I have a sheet of paper?" he asked, for he knew that another fight for his self-command was due. Rewa Gunga gave an order, and a maid brought him scented paper on a silver tray. He drew out his own fountain pen then and made ready. In spite ot the great silken punkah that swung rythmically across the full breadth of the room the heat was so great that the pen slipped round and round between his fingers. Yet he contrived to write, and since his one object was to give his brain employment, he wrote down a list of the names he had memorized in the train on the journey from Peshawur, not thinking of a use for the list until he had finished. Then, though, a real use occurred to him. While he began to write more than a dozen dancing women swept into the room from behind the silken hangings in a concerted movement that was all lithe slumberous grace. Wood

wind music called to them from thel

great deep window as snakes are summoned from their holes, and as cobras answer the charmer's call the women glided to the center and stood poised beneath the punkah. There they began to chant, still dreamily, and with the chant the dance began, in and out, round and round, lazily, ever so lazily, wreathed in buoyant gossamer that was scarcely more solid than the sandalwood smoke they wafted into rings. .King watched them and listened to their chant until he began to recognize the strain on the eye-muscles that . precedes the mesmeric spell. Then he wiote and read what he had written and wrote again. And after that, for the sake of mental exercise, he switched his thoughts into another channel altogether. He reverted to Delhi railway station.

- "The Turks can spy as well as anybody Tney know those, men are going to Keracbi to be ready for them. Therefore, having cut: his eye-teeth B. C. several hundred, the Unspeakable Turk will take care not to misbehave until he's ready. And I suppose our government, being ours and we being us, will let him do it! All of which will take time,- And that again means no-trouble in the 'Hills' probably until-the ".Turks really do feel ready to begin. They'll preach a holy war just ahead of the date. The tribes will keep quiet because an army at Kerachi might be meant for their benefit Oh, yes, I'm quite sure they were entraining for Kerachi, in readiness to move on Basra. .Trucks ready for camels and camel . drivers and food for camels and Eresby, who's just come from taking a special camel course. Not a doubt of it! And then, Corrigan Elwright Doby Gould all on the platform in a bunch, and all down on the Army List as Turkish interpreters! , Not a doubt left!" , "What have you written?" asked a quiet voice at his ear; and he turned to look straight in the eyes of Rewa Gunga, who ' had leaned forward to read over his shoulder. Just for one second he hovered on the brink of quick defeat. Having escaped the Scylia of the dancing women, Charybis waited for him in the shape of eyes that were pools of hot mystery. It was the sound of his own voice that brought him back to the world again and saved his will for him unbound. "Read It, won't you?" he laughed. "If you know, take this pen and mark the names of whichever of those men are still in Delhi." Rewa Gunga took pen and paper and set a mark against some thirty of the names, for King had a manner that disarmed refusal. "Where are the others?" he asked him, after a glance at it. "In jail, or else over the border." "Already?" The Rangar nodded. "Trust Yasmini! She saw to that jolly well before she left Delhi! She would have stayed had there been anything more to do!" King began to watch the dance again, for it did not feel safe to look too long into the Rangars eyes. It was not wise just then to look too long at anything, or to think too long on any one subject. "Ismail is slow about returning," said the Rangar. "I wrote at the foot of the 'tar,'" said King, "that they are to detain him there until the answer comes." To be continued

CLERK'S RECOVERY ASTONISHES RICHMOND Richmond people will marvel at this clerk's recovery. His stomach was ao bad ha could eat very little.- Everything fermented and soured. Had stbmach cough. Doctor advised buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in Adler-i-ka. ONE SPOONFUL helped him INSTANTLY. Because Adler-1-ka empties BOTH large and small intestine it relieves ANY CASE constipation, sour stomach or gas and prevents appendicitis. It has QUICKEST action of anything we ever eold.

SltsiirodlaiM (This is advertisement No. 5 in a series of six on the question ' of greater economy in the use of bread.) One of the biggest food wastes has been the waste of bread that has lost its moisture. There are so many uses for bread there should not be any left, but should there be, the biggest loaf you can buy is the best and most economical, because it is bigger, retains moisture better, keeps better and is of better flavor. The Bigger Ten or Fifteen Cent Loaf is the economical loaf because it - means more bread than two or three loaves at five cents. The Bigger Loaf is better because it cuts down the dry bread waste.

The Bigger Loaf has less crust by one-third or one-half, com pared with two or three five-cent loaves. The Bigger Loaf holds its moisture longer The Biggest Loaf you can buy, except for ingredients, can be baked and delivered to your table for exactly the same cost as the five-cent loaf. Economy demands the Ten and Fifteen Cent Loaf. After May 21 the Fiw-Ccnt
