SICK PRESIDENT BY COL VISIT
President's Physician Says They Joked and il..au,hed To-
gether and the Visit Put Mir. Wilson in
"Splendid Humor."
A despatch from Washington
> ays:-one of the most cheerful o
twent;y minutes which President Wil-
�
eon, haspent ,since his illiress he then_,
oughly enjoyed late on Thursday when
the Prince of Wakes called upon him
at the White House, In describing
this visit .afterwards, Rear -Admiral,'
Carey T. Grayson, the President's per
&anal physician, said the two had "a!
fine old time."
President Wileon sat propped up in.
a great olel-fashioned bed, in which.
Piot only Abraham Lincoln bad •slept,.
but in which the Prince's grandfather,
Edward VII., had reposed when he
visited thia-country nearly 60 years;
ago. Even before Prince Edward knew'
of this his ,attention was attracted by:
the great mahogany bed with its;
towering head'baard. He kept talking
about It to the President,
The President and his boyish caller'
laughed and joked the entire time, and;
Dr. Grayson said afterwards dthere';
was no doubt that the visit put the;
President hi splendid humor, It was:
something of a family party, for the;
President asked many questions about'
King George, Queen Mary, and Queen
Alexandra, all of which the Prince
was, of course, able to answer in de-:
tail. He brought the President many
personal messages from the Royal
family.
Prince Edward displayed 'genuine
enthusiasm. over hie ;.sit to the United
States, Ile- talked with the same boy-
ish charm and ink of affectation that
has made so many ;riends for him
here in Washington. Mrs. Wilson and
Admiral Grayson remained in the
room durin • the visit, and the Prince
ale() ineluded them in the ,:oncers atio•n.
Both are friends of his, dating back
to the clays of the President's visits
to Paris and London,
It developed to -day that when the
Prince first arrived in Washington
President Wilson sent him one of his
awn books with the President's sign-
ature and somQ inscription written on
the fpreleaf. The Prince to -day ex-
pressed much appreciation over this
thought.
The Royal visitor was at the White
House about forty minutes in all, half
of which time he spent in an informal
tea with Mrs. 'Wilson, Miss Margaret
Wilson and Mrs. Frances B. Sayer, an-
other daughter of the PT esiclent. Only
two meml ere of his per: ar.a1 staff, Ad-
miral Halsey aad Captain Lord Claude
Han?citon, accompanied him to the
White House.

The placing of a Canadian represented

agricultural produce, is advocated by
Hon. S. F. Toin, e, Minister of Agri-
culture, in a foreword to the Novem-
ber issue of the Agricultural Gazette,
issued by the Department of Agricul-
ture.
Deep the soil rn the paten rioh. It
.costs no more for seeds and labor to
operate rich soil than poor. From rich
soil the crops will !be larger and of
better queelity. Therefore fertilize
heavily.
There was a fdelish man
And he bought a foolish block
Of Yaki Hula Common,
A „foolish mining stock!
And now he dines en field -mice,
And pals with other tramps,
Which never would have happened
If he'd bought w,ar savings stamps.
Tho tops or side ehoots of ger-
aniums may be used for cuttings.
Make the cuttings a few inches long,
trim off tlae lower leaves and insert
them firmly in pots of sandy loam.
The base of each cutting should be
made just below a joint. Stand the
pots in a ,sheltered, sunny spot in the
open air as long as the weather re-
mains fair.

Production is Antidote
For H. C. L,
The high cost of living is the great-
est material problem of our day.
For the man with a small income,
it, is a large-sized menace; even for
the man with a comfortable income t
is a source of continual worry.
The phenomenal rise in prices since
1914 is due to the scarcity of goods
brought about by the suspension of
Production during the war. We have
also wasted untold quantities of ma-
terial for war purposes,
This shortage and this waste must
be made good before the world cltn be
again as prosRerous as in 1914. Until
they are made good, it is useless to
expect that prices will materially de-
cline or even•remain stationary,
Recognizing this fact, many people
propose that we get over the difficulty
by increasing wages, salaries ansr i•
profits in the same ratio as the a
vance in prices. If this were possible,
the effect would be the same as re-
ducing prices to pre war levels. Ulti-
mately, this may take place, but cel-
tainly not soon.
The "day -light savers" realized that
they could not get the public to per-
form every act of the day one hour
earlier than usual, so they innocently
deluded us by advancing the clock. It
worked, because there was no funda-
mental law againsteit. But we cannot
cheat ourselves over the cost of living
in the same manner. Increasing
wages without augmenting production
sends up prices and leaves real wages
unimproved.
What does the higher cost of living
really mean? Sweeping aside the
camouflage of prices expressed In cur-
rency,. it means thia: That we must
now put forth greater effort and work
harder to obtain the same satisfac-
tions. There is no cure for it but
economy and increased production.
tt is not in the nature of the average
human being to economize in what is
lightly come by, nor to work any
harder than is necessary to obtain a,
oonifortable Jiving.
Tharefore, the high cost of living is
riot only natural, but necessary at the
present time. Let tis face this blunt
ffruth bravely and apply ourselves
patiently to work and to save -..-the
only remedy.
