Canada Investigates Profiteering The Canadian Parliament has taken drastic measures to investigate alleged profiteering with the high cost of living. A house committee will probe the general question, subsidiary committees v. ill gather data in small towns and cities, and a hoard of commerce has been appointed with farreaching power. The base cost to the manufacturer of shoes, meats, clothing, flour, coal, milk, bread and other commodities is being sought by the investigating committee. With this data obtained, the committee will be in a position to learn the difference between the original cost of the product and the price charged the consumer. This, as readily will be seen, will enable the committee to judge with certainty if profiteering has been indulged in. The Canadian investigation should be able to ascertain if there is any ground in the resentment of workers that the present price level is an artificial one and not due to the causes ascribed to it by the manufacturer and retailer. A problem containing so many ramifications as does the present price level will be immensely simplified if the real facts are disclosed. With this data at hand, every one will be able to "draw his own conclusions and remedial legislation, if such is advisable and necessary, can be applied. The method adopted by Canada seems to be a thorough going one that should bring results. Sporadic investigation of the problem or a probe that is limited only to one commodity is unsatisfactory. Other countries, anxious to obtain guiding light, might well follow the example set by Canada.

Monnie Stallings is a canning club girl in Franklin County, N. C. She started club work in 1914 and canned 550 cans of tomatoes. The excellence of her products won her a" mdal and several prizes. The next year she won the medal for "putting up" 1,000 cans, the largest number in the county, and $16 in cash prizes. In 1916, the exhibit she made of some of her canned products at the A air won a thoroughbred Jersey heifer worth $100, a college scholarship, and $5. The fourth year she canned 1,300 cans, won a number of blue ribbons and $27 in cash. In 1918, a bad fruit year, she canned 1,000 cans. With the money from the sale of her canned goods, she has clothed herself, paid for music lessons, bought books, invested in thrift stamps, and helped her widowed mother. She says she expects to pay her expenses in college with money saved and with money from the sale of cow and calves.

Women in Chippewa County, Wisconsin, made some remarkable records last summer in canning fruits and vegetables. They put" up 704,365 quarts of fruits and vegetables, with a total valuation of $211,309.50. Not only the variety which the canned fruit and vegetables add to meals, but also the amount of money saved is appreciated by those who have learned from Uncle Sam how to can. This is .one woman's appreciation : "Last summer I learned to can by the method in which the product is cooked in the can, and tried it with fruit, vegetables, and meat. Whenever my husband goes to the store he asks what groceries are needed. This winter we have so many things in the cellar which I had canned that many times we do not need anything from the store. My husband says that we have never lived so well and so cheaply as we have since I learned this way of canning. None of my canned goods have spoiled."

They Canned Last Year You Can This Year Many canning clubs use hot-water-bath canners in putting up fruit, vegetables and soup. Some clubs hesitate to buy because of the expense. The Sheffield club of Bureau County, Illinois, last summer found a way around the difficulty by buying a canner and then renting it part of the time at a nominal charge to housewives in the neighborhood. The balance in the club treasury was not lowered, and the club has on hand a canner for work this summer. The Sheffield club won the right by contest in its own locality to compete at the State Fair in Springfield. Taking the first prize there, the members were sent as state champions to the Interstate 'Fair at Sioux City, Iowa, to compete with other teams.

Three sisters in Granville County, N. C, joined, in 1915, a canning club organized by the home demonstration agent of the county. The first year they planted one-fifth acre of tomatoes. Aside from using all they needed on the table, ihcy cleared $150 on those they sold fresh or canned. The next year their garden grew tomatoes, corn, apples, string beans, and peas. Besides supplying the table with fresh vegetables their garden produced enough that year to fill 2,000 cans. The girls paid half of the expenses of a sister in college, paid for remodeling and painting the house, and helped their father buy .in automobile. In 1917 they canned 2,500 cans. The profits sent the same sister back to eollege, bought new rugs and helped put acetylene lights in the house and the barn. They also paid $50

living," says the Washington Post. "He was mostly right, too. Now we have the genuine article with us, but it is common knowledge that it is also closely associated with the cost of high living. Accompanying the wail against high prices that comes from all parts of the world comes also the general comment of observers that people are possessed with a desire to spend riot-

j ously. In Paris, in London, in Berlin, in New

York and in Oshkosh they are spending now as furiously as they fought or worked in war time. The money of the times is cheap, but it comes easily, and there is a long period of painful stinting to be made up. "There is little doubt that the people are spending their liberty bonds. The world has gone on a spree that is manifesting itself in many ways, of which lavish expenditure is but one. The worst of it is that the cost of high living increases the high cost of living. When spenders are free and easy, traders make prices with a facile pencil. Those who part lightly with their easy money make hard buying for those who must part sparingly with their limited funds. He who spends on luxuries without accounting causes himself to pay more for necessaries. To all other

He had, however, been secretly wedded to Amy Robsart, and so, to further his chances to be King, he consorted with one Richard Varney, and plotted the murder of his wife, which was accomplished at Abington Manor.

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT By S. W. STRAUS, Prwfcfai ftsHcn BoeUty ft Thrift.

.The state-B-eaat frequently is made by persons who do not save money, that, la these times of high prices, It Is absolutely impossible to Lay by any this g from their earnings. It is not to be denied that lirIng conditions

are very hard for many of our people. Within the last five years commodity prices have gone up on aa average of more than 100 per cent, and fundamental conditions are such that there will be a continued upward trend in costs. Without attempting to go into any discussion of the causes that have produced these abnormal manifestations, it can be accepted as true that many a family in America to-day is having a hard time to keep up running expenses, to say nothing of laying by anything. However, this seeming disadvantage may be turned to an advantage, because sacrifices that are made in a worthy cause always bring their rewards la added strength of character. During the war many of our people . denied themselves many comforts and

conveniences la order to bay Liberty Bonds. Yet bow many of these people would say to-day that they are sorry they made these investments? Similar sacrifices are just as necessary to-day as they were during the war. The country was In need of financial help then; and what was the nation's need then is your need to-day if you are not practicing thrift. Saving money for futsre needs or opportunities is not a matter of what you want to do and cumaot, but it Is what you mmtt do at all hazards. It is as necessary to your future comfort, happiness and success, and your honorable duty to society as the air you breath. Those who are not practicing thrift are going backwards. They are using their time, their health, their youth, their energy, their opportunities, without securing anything but possible superficial happiness in return. It is a positive fundamental weakness for any man or woman to say that be or she can not practice thrift Even though the amount saved be very small, it is a start in the right direction, and opportunities for more ample savings will develop with the continuation of these practices. Those who are succeeding who are getting ahead In life, have thrift as the foundation of their progress. Without it there can be only retrogression and unhappiness, if not ultimate ruin.

Dictated But Not Read

Trom The New York Times. SOMETHING too much has been said of Henry Ford's declaration that history is "all bunk" that he' wouldn't give a nickel for the world's output of It. An unseemly air of sciolism creeps into our insistence that we others know the difference between Benedict Arnold and Arnold Bennett. Those people begin to get upon The nerves who demonstrate that, when a man admits he is an idealist and defines an idealist as one who helps others to a profit, he is of necessity what he was called, an ignorant idealist. How much do we really know about history' For most of us the child eye of Herodotus saw its far marvels in vain. In vain, alas, the conquerors in Plutarch strode the world, cleaving their way with the sword; in vain his orators and Senators draped themselves in eloquence and flowing robes. Our eyes have never expanded to the dusky splendors of the world of Froissart, not all ears have resounded to the booming periods of Gibbon. Let 113 say, in all humility, that we are an ignorant generatiou, best versed in the art of concealing our ignorance. But there is one ground on which wo may fairly claim to be Mr. Ford's superiors. Having dismissed the historians as liars, be employed la their stead a press agent. Urged on by a soul full of horror at the waste of war and by a heart overflowing with confidence in the power of his money, he employed Mr. Delavigne to tell the suffering world how it came so, and what to do about it. His confidence that Mr. Delavigne resembled Herodotus, Plutarch, Froissart, and Gibbon In no respect whatever was so great that he paid thousands of dollars for a publicity campaign and never bothered to read a word of it. "He wrote it," said Mr. Ford on the witness stand;. "I didn't read It, but I'm responsible for it" We others are wiser than that Little as we consort with the real historians, we somehow manage that. in,a tight fix, we can appeal to them, by chapter and page, thus clearing our own skirts. To exculpate 2ir. Ford before the Jury, his learned counsel fell back on

the plea that in his automobile factory, where he himself had made history, he knew every nut. Approximately the statement was no doubt true. But when Mr. Ford is in that factory it is subject to an important qualification. Apparenly he does not yet know himself. If he did, he would no longer subject a great manufacturer, a great creative merchant, a genuine philanthropist, to the derisions of a world which, however little it may know of historians, is well aware of the foibles of press agents. It has been our custom to explain the Ford phenomenon by relating it to thj early days of our democracy when men were, in their outward lives and their Inner abilities, much more nearly equal than in this age of specialization an age when the only recognized difference was the power to make money. Primitive American democrats, we are told, believed that all men were equal except the one who had made his million. He could do anything, and especially sit in the Senate. Some such era once existed, and its traditions linger on, though feebly. But In ascribing Mr. Ford to It we do it injustice. The great men of those times, when they were ambitious, thought first of education. WTiile they pored over Blackstone, the' somehow found time and tallow dips to read the Bible, Plutarch, Shakespeare. Not Lincoln alone wrote the Gettysburg address. In its flawlessly apt use of simple words, in the marvelous variety and beauty of its cadences, the Bible, Plutarch and Shakespeare live again. Mr. Ford is a product of our own age of specialization. In his little field he Is past master. As for the world without, he "can find out all he needs to know about that from a salaried man in five minutes." And so we have the spectacle, gigantic, colossal, of a maker of cheap automobiles undertaking to regenerate the world by means of a press agent And we have another spectacle, rather miniature, yet not without its pathos, of a worthy man who frankly admits his error as far as he sees it, and is angry and frieved turns that men greet his good Intentions with roars of laughter.
