the new currency and banking or
ganization. Therefore it is pleasing
TO Tote that the organization COM
mi-tee is pushing matters with great
emery and the purpose to have the
regional banks organized and ready
for business by the lime the crop
moving season opens
Che latest step is the announce
ment of a group of banks in each

these institutions to designate rep
reseptatives who will form the re-
serve bank for their district and
start it going. The subscriptions to
capital stock of course are already
attended to, for the law makes these
compulsory so far as concerns ma
tional banks: they must enter the
system Or forfeit their charters, and
almost all have entered.
Reluctance on the part of other
classes of institutions to avail them
selves of the privilege of coming in,
is perhaps not surprising, though it
is regrettable. The new system has
been adopted for better or worse;

Washington as the Nations Cap
itaI. would be an ideal place for
the working out of a model munic-
ipal market plan. Here the De-
partment Of Agriculture could ap-
ply at close range the results OF
its close study Of the market SIT
uation in dozens of large American
cities"
This is the opinion of Charles j.
Brand. chief of the Bureau OF
Markets. United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. Mr.. Brands
assistance already has been asked
by the District Commissioners in
the task OF selecting a new Super
intendent of Weights. Measures
and Markets to succeed the late
Col w. C. Haskell. The man Sc
lected will be one capable of work
toward the establishment OF such
a municipal market here, when
funds for this work are obtained
from Congress.
The Commissioners, it is under
stood. already look with marked
favor on the municipal market
project, especially in view of the

There are many more and intri-
cate problems to the establishment
of such a market in Washington

is the difficulty with which truck
farm products and milk are con-
veyed to Washington. / know one
man along the Falls Church line who
must haul his products to the train,
and then haul them again from
Rosslyn, Va. into the city. With a
trolley freight service he could have
his produce hauled directly into the
avenue and Twelfth street north
west
Trolley lines could make money
by providing a freight service from
midnight until early morning. At
the same time, they would be de-
veloping the territory through which
they run
The market problem has many
angles, Mr.. Brand stated, and Almost
as many solutions have been offered
as there are cities which have taken
up the matter. His bureau acts in
an advisory capacity to any city
wishing to better Its marketing con-
ditions.
Rochester is one Of the most pro-
gresSive Eastern cities in respect to
its municipal market" Mr. Brand
seid. New York is fioundering in
the midst of dozens of suggestions.
There the size of the city makes the
situation highly complex. One plan
suggested provides for great ter
minal markets, out that scheme
would involve a large amount Of
back hauling.

practically had to declare them

THE whole trouble with so many

"The increase in most food prices is altogether
artificial and arbitrary" says expert economist,
and with this obsession Congress is going to start
Investigations and district attorneys throughout the
nation getting busy.
To say that the increase in food prices is alto
gether artificial is ignoring the producers of food
the agriculturist- writing them down fools.
Ordinarily, it is the gamblers in food stuffs who
fix prices. One why they can do this is that
markets for food stus uncertain and the average
producer prefers to take cents bushel less for
his wheat cents for his corn than to risk holding
for world market that may be over-stocked. But
the present ordinary condition. Millions of Eu-
ropean producers of food stuffs have become mere
consumers and tremendous market for American
food stuffs is assured beyond any doubt The Ameri
is certain of demand for his products such as
he has before known, and he is foolish In not
holding what he has as long as he can.
The federal Investigators will, very likely, dig
up "corners "pools, monopolies and the like, but
the American farmer with the actual products in
hand and with market that no ''corner" or pool
beat him out Of has got to be reckoned with this
time.
The present proposition in Europe may be as
to which nation, or alliance of nations, shoot
quickest and straghtest, but it promises to be
. proposition to which can get American food
stuffs. and the American farmer is no dot.
And you cannot blame the American farmer if
he takes his turn at squeezing the consumer lie is
surely going to be squeezed, formerly if not more
So respect of all manufactures that he has to buy
But he has not got to lie limp like dummy man
while others squeeze him. Unavoidable and inviol
able circumstances and not the gamblers making
him market of high prices.
Investigating and legislation may reach and
punish the gamblers In food stuffs and this
may have some effect ON prices but government
on, and the whole world, including America, might
as well makes UP its mind to endure high prices on
food stuffs. Sell your automobile, buy wheat, OF
corn, or cheese, and lock it up in the garage

They went into Louvain. She said that

promptly shot by their own officers,
but the feeling Of the populacc against

The German soldiers, according to
