USE AND ABUSE OF STORAGE
Enormous Quantities Of Food Wasted
In Order to Secure Higher Prices
How Il Works.

Few things are more useful or more
abused than the cold storage Of food
products. In the producing season OF
various edibles. there Is usually sur
plus which must be wasted unless
there is some provision for preserving
It for use during the lean season. In
the true economy Of existence this
preservation Is the purpose OF cold
storage. But, In the economy OF dollar
chasing, cold storage has been used to
Increase prices during the season Of
plenty. and to make them still high.
er during the season Of scarcity. One
OF the effects Of this has been to waste
enormous quantities Of food. In some
instances It has been found to We more
profitable to let some OF such food
rot, because the increased price Of
that which was saved more than onset
the loss by waste. 1t Is true that this
has not always been the case. as was
shown by the loss Of the egg packers
two years ago. But the important
thing is that the people should not be
robbed OF food by the cupidity OF the
spectators. Waste never made leo-
pie rich. no matter how some individu.
ais have prohted by 1t. and the avoid
ance OF such waste would have served
to give men and women strength and
ability to do the work that the nation
needs. We have too many people who
are struggling-and failing-to make
both ends meet In this land OF plenty.

On Thursday evening the Victoria

the best, if not the best, of the con-

Lynn, the reader, was an entire eve
ning's entertainment by herself,
possessing rare talent. She uses it in
such manner that the most critical
cannot fail to be more than pleased
Her selections were excellent and
called forth enthusiastic applause.
She very graciouSly responded to the
encoreS and her unaffected manner
won a decided place in the hearts of
her hearers. Miss Lynn is all they
claimed for her-a reader of unusual
ability with personality that wins
and holds people and creates desire
to want to see and hear more of her
Her support by the Misses Engleman
makes this company doubly attrac-
i've. Miss Pauline, the violinist,
won her hearers at once by her
beautiful selections and showed her
self master of her instrument Her
personality is an exceedingly charm
ing one and her music was thorough
ly appreciated and enjoved by the
people fortunate enough to hear her.
Miss Bessie Engleman, her sister,
possesses a beautiful sympathetic con-
tralto voice and her selections gave
her audience much pleasure. She is
still young and there is, doubtless, a
bright career for her in the musical
world. The Victoria Lynn Concert
Company was thorough success and
almost with one voice the patrons OF
the Lyceum entertainments are
clamoring for their return next sea.
