Don't think Hint peace will at once stop the march of ris ing prices Many factories wZll never again produce goods for clvtllans, many others wlU not p'roduco such goods for some tlmo to como, none will bo nblo to mako their produco at lowor prices until thoy can buy tho raw inatorlnls for loss and their prosont othor costs diminish. This won't hnppon until thcro'H far moro raw material than now to draw upon, mid until there aro enough men released from military sorvlce to run the mills with their former speed and output. Don't think that there will be more goods from which to choose immediately Thoro Is likely to bo loss boforo thoro Is moro. First, for tho reason abovo, and, Bccond, bocauso In this store now, for lnstnnco, nro Immense stocks ot goods purchased at formor costs. They aro of bottor qualities lu many Instances than aro holng produced today. Much ot this merchandise could not bo duplicated today at any prlco, beca,uso tho kinds and qualities aro simply not holng manufactured now. Much of this morchandlso, If roplacod, would now cost much moro than It did. Consequently, at this store you nood not pay prlcoB based on tho prosont higher costs but you may, while prosont stocku last, continue to pay pillcos figured on tho formor lowor costs. So you see oven when peace is absolutely certain pence conditions for us nil will impose many duties no less necessary than those of Avar. May wo novor bo guilty of tho orror ot rash hopoa or tho aban donment of solf-rostralnt. May wo novor Jump at conclusions but contlnuo to bo oarnost and of sound, good Judgmont, that tho groat wondor of peace may spread Its joys and its blossings throughout this land of ours gradually, naturally, vrflsoly as It should, without interruption.
