And lots of them, It begins with a laugh and ends with a roar. It's another sparkling gem In the crown of king comedy said,5 in the larger cities from coast to coast. While Mr. Garvan declared he was gratified at the price drop, reported in nearly every community and did not believe the department "deserved too much of the credit." he would not endorse, claims of some mer chants that : they were actuated oj patriotic motives. "That stuff is the purest bun combe." Mr. Garvan said. "If they are patriotic, now where was their patriotism a sear ago when prices were going up and incidentally, those fellows were making more and more money. , "There are-three things responsi ble for this clamor of merchants to get on the band wagon of falling prices: The women of the country have stopped buying articles at ex orbitant prices;, men are wearing, former cast oft clothing and shoes; the -market haa broken, something which could not be avoided, and a lot of people jaw indictments for profiteering coming.. 1 saw that a few, if any, of; the merchants were sure that the -department's agents were not at the moment gathering evidence on their stores. They simp ly saw the" light." Mr. GaTvan said that the women and the press of the country had formed a "combination" to break the power of the profiteer and he be lieved the.v had succeeded.- While the downward trend may not con tinue as rapidly as it now appears. reir. Garvan said he believed the peak had been passed and that a ."general recession had set in which might go. a long way toward re-establishing a normal condition." But. he explained, ''normal" must not i be construed to mean pre-war price levels. . ,J - zl- Vote For Wrightjnan Urged Editor Statesman: It will be a very graceful thing lor the city of Salem and Marion county to give to Prank T. .Wrightman a practically unani mous vote for delegate to the nation al Republican convention from. this congressional district.
