Corn Established New World's Re- cord at Market on Saturday--'Ca- véat Emptor," Says One Man. "Only fifty-five cents a dozen.' A decade of high prices has left thed average man immune from the pos- sibility of shock, but. any man who can preserve his equanimity when he encounters a dozen diminutive ears of corn on a Tuesday morning, and ascertains that they have bolted to nearly five cents an earlet deserves a civilian Victoria Cross for presence > mind in the face of great provoca- on. "Only fifty-five cents a dozen." Costs of production have gone up on the farms to levels that were incom- prehensile in the halcyon days of old when two dozen ear¥ of corn for a hard-earned '"'twobits'" were seldom purchased on account of "high" prices, but more than half a dollar foretwelve tiny tit-bits is the thir- teenth wonder of the world. "Only fifty-five cents a dozen." Perhaps wartime selfishness in a omic dogma of "the highest price and the lion's share for me and the devil take the hindmost," but sweet cobs of corn at fifty-five cents a dozen shculd be relished only by capitalist-exploiters and wage-profit- eers--notby salaried clerks or pen- stoned widows of heroic soldiers. "Only fifty-five cents a dozen." 'May that unlovely phrase bring to every mind the legal phrase, "Caveat emptor"--"Let the buyer beware"-- for such dainties are beyond the reach of those who do not purchase gasoline at forty-seven cents a gallon or strawberries in "March at ninety cents a box. "Only fifty-five cefits a dozen." Has the mania for sky-rocketing prices reached our solid, sensible, rural classes, or Is it that the whole world is merely money-mad?" "Only fifty-five cents » dozen." Even a statement that the cool July froze the corn crop or that the rains bred more woodpeckers than usual or that there is going to be too much snow next winter would ap- our thirst for knowledge. Perhaps the price can be justified, but do for us as Shylock did to An- tonio, the merchant of Venice, when the judge remarked in solemn tones, "Please, have a heart, old man," and Shylock dropped his knife instead of cutting the pound of flesh nearest the heart of his enemy. The quality of money is a beautiful thing even though the judge's statement was ambiguous. T luxurious age has justified the econ-||i "Only fifty-five cents a dozen." | Sheehy, Peterboro, the Rev.
