The Question Is Often
., Asked
What makes the houses built 20 and 30 years ago so
: durable." .
The answer is “dependable materials and dependable
construction." I
It is easy to waste or to save material at the expense
of comfort and permanence. When depreciation is taken
into consideration, the cost of material for poor construc-
tion is often higher in the end than that for a‘well-built
house. We buy and sell the best lumber obtainable.

Leader Says Naming

“Futile Gpsture”

HARTFORD. Aug.‘11.—-That the
Ku Klux Klan is not a national issue
and should not be taken up by poli-
tical parties, was stated by Homer C.
Cummings of Stamford Saturday at
the session of the Democratic State
Central Committee at. the Hotel
Garde in New Haven. Cummings
who led the battle against the en-
trance of the Klan in national polls
5 at the recent Democratic con-
i‘ ntion in New York, did not make
his statement from the floor. but
in private to a representative of the
ment can do nothing against the
Klan. and to have it named on the
platform of any political party
would have been but a. "futile gest-
ure". He endorsed the recent letter
of John \K'. Davis disclnlmlng mem-
bership in the Klan and affirming
his bcllcf in religious toleration.
(‘ummings admitted Democratic dis-
nffeetion because of the party's
" stand on the question but added that

tions as to whether the national ad-
ministration or Governor Bryan's at-

Cummings, whose keynote speech
in the 1920 national convention was
widely commented on. said that

take the siunip for the national tick-

Fruit
_.__
(Worcester Telegram)
Growers of fruit are busy won-
dering why people don't eat more
apples. pears. grapes and peaches.
There is no mystery about it how-
ever. The reason may be had for
the asking.
The price of fruit is too high.
We don't pretend to know whose
fault this is. We don’t know wheth-
er the producer, the buyer. the mid-
dleman or the retailer. or all of
them. get too much profit.
We don’t even know the percentage
of loss chargable to spoilage.
But anybody with two eyes and
the ability to read can see the signs
on the fruit on display. and realize
that the prices are sky high.
Everybody connected with the fruit
business will tell you that he gets
only a small profit out of it. It may
be so. if it is true. then methods of
handling fruit need the attention of
an efficiency expert, even a small
army of experts.
People like fruit. No “Eat More
Fruit" campaigns such as are
planned by the American Pomologi-
cal society would be needed if fruit
prices were a trifle more reasonable.
