In most communities there are two classed of citizens—those who pro­
duce, and those who do not.
The productive class brings home the honey.
The other class merely consumes that which the producer produces.
There would be less hue and cry over the cost of living if more people
would conscientiously produce instead of being content merely to consume.
Food and other commodities are bard to produce at best, and the idle-
ness and indifference of the non-productive class only accentuates its scar-
city and contributes to its cost.
A hive of honey bees is a good thing for mankind to study, The bee
that docs not work is not allowed to eat—it is not permitted to consume
the fruits of the labors of other bees.
We humans, with all of our superior intelligence, can still profit from
the example set us by the little honey bee.
Future generations may learn to see, where we of today are groping
in darkness.
The honey bee may teach them.

During the past few weeks we have several times heard our home mer-
chants criticised for the prices they cnarge for their goods.
The home merchant does charge a higher price—à much higher one—
than he did before the war. He is compelled to do so or go out of business.
He is paying enormously high prices for all goods in the wholesale
markets.
He is paying increased freight rates and cartage.
His help costs him more money and his overhead expenses are greater.
Everywhere he turns he is forced to pay a heavy Increase in the cost
of conducting his business.
Added to this, he is under an additional pressure in paying the high
cost of supporting his family and himself.
All of this must come out of the business, and this can only be done by
charging a reasonable percentage of profit over the wholesale cost of his
goods.
The home merchant can not afford to profiteer. Were he to do so he
would soon be trapped and would thereafter be a dead one in this com­
munity.
Prices are high—abnormally high—but we believe the home merchants
are as reasonable in their charges as can be expected under existing con­
ditions. Let's be fair and consider both sides before we criticise.
