PRICE OF VEGETABLES
"Advance" fears chaos from individual independence and ability to solve price problems. She has no faith in the natural law, and should be well satisfied with the present drift to collective bargaining and blundering. Shop prices are at war peak andT control peak, and still "Advance" wants more of it. Well, a widow lady of my acquaintance, is 85; does all her own house work, sewing and washing; keeps a boarder and provides good meals; and finds time to dig a full quarter-acre of. garden for flowers, fruit and vegetables, with which she is most liberal to more or less indolent neighbours. Such, says "Advance," brings "economic chaos!" I wonder how many gardeners or hard-pressed housewives will agree with her? J.K.
