ment armv surplus foods through a
“loop” department store

For High Prices
By Jobber In O C
By News' Special Service
OKLAHOMA CITY Aug 15 —
Blame for the high cost of gro-
ceries was placed squarely on the
shoulders of the farmers and pro-
ducers by a prominent Oklahoma
City jobber and wholesaler yester-
day He said there is absolutely no
profiteering between the buyer and
the consumer in the grocery trade
Several years ago by government
consent the canner was making a
profit of 19 cents where today he
i is only making a profit of 12 rents
it was said Prices paid the grower
on peaches apricots and tomatoes
on town lots however have gone
up from lOu to 300 per cent ac-
cording to the Informant
He says there is no profiteering
in the city or state because compe-
tition makes it impossible There
are 275 grocery stores in the city
all of which would unite to keep
i one from doing an illegitimate busi-
ness There are ninety-one jobbing
I films in the state to which the
same principle will apply
I The wholesale price of beans
Is one of the very few that dropped
In the last year or Iwo Beans are
now $4 a hundred or 4 cents a
pound less than they were during
the first part of the war
The jobber said lie believed the
growers were asking high prices
because the government had been
willing to give them high prices in
order to encourage them to increase
their planted areas and to swell pro-
duction to be used for war purposes
had a severe attack of cholera
morbus I gave the hotel porter
fifty cents and told him to buy me
a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic and
Diarrhoea Remedy and to take no
substitute I took a double dose
of it according to directions At
five o'clock the next morning I
was called by my order and took
a train for my next stopping place

There is nothing deader than a dead
town Try ns hard as it may to con-
ceal the facts the truth Is written all
over It so that ho who runs may read
No camouflage of bluff and bluater can
conceal the true situation from anyona
who comes within the limits of the
community A dead town la dead and
that'a all there is to It
The worst of it is that once a town
dies it stays dead There have been
exceptional casea in which dead towns
have been revived have taken on new
life and prospered but these are mere-
ly the exceptions that prove the rule
The fact that a town can seldom
“come back” is easily explained The
growing and prosperous town today
is the one that can attract new resi-
dents and new capital It Is one that
can offer attractive inducements for
the location of new industries Thq
dead town offers no attraction to out-
side capital A man looking for a
place to launch a new business or a
new location for an old Industry is
not going to pick out a dead town
He Is going to select a town in which
money Is plentiful a town whose busi-
ness men are progressive and whose
residents as a whole are prosperous
and contented There are too many
live and thriving towns In the world
for a man to risk bis future in one
that is dead This is the reason that
a town once dead almost always re-
mains dead
Town Like Corporation
There is just one thing ordinarily
that kills a town in the first place and
that is a lack of money A town is
just like a corporation aud the money
possessed by its inhabitants is its cap-
ital If this capital is depleted the
town will fail Just as the corporation
whose capital is depleted through poor
management or other causes falls
And just as the corporation which has
once failed can seldom retrieve its lost
fortunes the town -which has failed
cannot often “come back”
The capital of a community is de-
pleted when its money is spent away
from home in a way that brings no
return benefit to the community It
takes no great amount of thought to
be able to realize that the town like
the individual cannot laat long If It
is paying out more money thun It
takes in That does not mean that a
prosperous town Is one in which the
people do not spend any money On
the contrary a prosperous town is
one in which the people do spend mon-
ey but it is one in w lilch they spend
l he money at home As long as the
money is spent at home the town
gains by having It kept in circulation
hut when it Is spent awuy from home
either by being sent to the mail order
houses or hy shopping trips to other
cities the town’s capital is Impaired
to that extent and if enough money is
spent uway from home in that way
tlie town collapses and virtually goes
into bankruptcy just us does the cor-
poration which dissipates Its cupitnl
Tlie people of a community are apt
to overlook the fact that they are
stockholders in their town und that
their fortune® are humid up with those
of the community as a whole They
do uot realize that if their town fails
they will fail with it They — or many
of them at least — send their mouey
awuy to the mail order houses in the
greut cities without realizing that they
lire impulrlng the cupitnl of their own
corporation und that if enough of them
pursue that qourse they will force their
corporation into eertnin bankruptcy
Merchants Not Only Ones Hurt
Many customers of mail order
houses pay that tiny are tinder no
obligation to trade with their home
merchants und this may be true They
overlook that fact that tlie business
men of a town do much for their com-
munity uud are entitled in return for
what they do to the support of the
people In the community but leaving
this out of consideration they over-
look tlie fad that they are bringing
about their own downfall when they
drain their town of Its money — Its
eapital
The home merchant will not be the
only one that will be hurt when tlie
town “goes broke” The merchant
cun reduce his stock aud cut down his
expenses aud get along some way or
he can sell out und move to some otb-
er town which has not been so blind
to its own welfure It is the greut
body of tlie people of the community
Including ull those who have sent their
mouey away to other cities instead of
spending it at home that suffers most
when (lie hurd times come
Tlie time for ull the people to pull
together for a live town is while the
town is still live and uot after It is
dead for when a town dies It is a
long time dead— if not forever

faults be has until lie gets married—
