EDITORIAL COMMENT.
WHEAT AND FLOUR.

In a leading editorial last week
the Republic made some timely
remarks about the recent raises
in the prices of wheat and -four,
which showed very clearly that
millers were anything but con.
sistent.
1t takes four and one half
bushels of wheat to make a bar.
rel of flour. If wheat increases
in price 10 cents, the increase
adds 45 cents to the cost of the
wheat going into a barrel of -four.
On July "a the price of No. 2
red wheat was 80 cents, and flour
was S3. 40 barrel. On August
10 wheat was Is cents higher.
Flour ought, in sympathy with
the cost of wheat, to have risen
about SO cents, which would have
brought it to S4.0S a barrel. In
stead of that it stood at $4.85.
The miller had increased the
price to the consumer, not 6s
cents, the whole increase in the
cost of the raw material, but
$1.45, which is more than twice
as much
During the next three days
wheat dropped in price and sc
did tlour-wheat to 90 cents, OF
just 10 cents above July "a, and
-four ought, therefore, to have
been about Is cents more, but
was selling for S4.35, or 95 cents
more-more than twice the ad
vance in the cost of wheat. :.
1t must be admitted there is
something here that needs in
vestigating. There is no possi
bility of a scarcity of wheat
there are hundreds of millions Of
bushels of wheat in this country
we should be glad to export if We
could. To double the advance in
the cost of flour caused by the in
rcreased price of wheat certainly
looks like straight exploitation O.
the people. This is one of the
things governments were orga
niZed to prevent.

The men who do the town no
good whatever usually get their
part OF the bene fits TO be derived
from the labors of others. For
instance, the citizens of Hayti are
supposed to want to bring an en-
terprize to town, but to do so
certain amount of money must
be raised. The drones sit back
and will give nothing. Not only
that, but they will knock the en-
terprise. Hayti has had this ex-
perience mum ber of times. But
always after this enterprise is
located the knocker gets his
share of the benefits. 1t is not
right. Since Hayti was plated
as town she has had one kind of
trouble after another; has had
troubles from the outside, and
troubles from the inside, and
right now most of her troubles
are arising from within. There
are bunch of old grafters here
who would sell the towns birth
right for their personal gain,
and to crafty their personal
spite. Rule and ruin with them
is one an the same thing.
The Hayti herald., 1914-08-20

A TACT that should be of con
siderable interest to Hayti peo-
pie is that therr are now very
few, il any, vacant buildings in
town. Hayti needs dozen or
two more neat cottages right now
to rent, and anyone who has the
money and wants good invest.
ment should look into this mat
ter. Hayti is bound to grow and
the demand for houses is always
greater than the supply.

1t stands to reason that the
"A american Gotten mills will be
busy this year, and it has been
estimated that they will use
S120,OO0,O00 more cotton than
last year. Then we have easy
access to England, France and
Italy. and if each can get but
half of their usual supply, while
Germany gets none, we shall
have disposed of all but S1S2. .000,-
600 of the $459,000,O00 which
these four Powers bought last
year. So the outlook is not so
bad, after all. War experts pre-
dict that the conflict in Europe
will be short and sharp, and with
the terrible war machinery of
the presentday, it is hard to
see how it could be otherwise.

what the result will be, but it is

Eggs preserved in a water.
glass solution will keep almost
perfectly for several month. They
will poach nearly as well as fresh
eggs although the taste is a
trifle more fat after long storage.
These are the conclusions of the
Missouri College of Agriculture
after a careful investigation of
various methods of storing eggs
for winter use.
Water-glass is purchased in
liquid form. Druggists common
ly retail it Mt twenty-five cents a
quart, and one quart is enough
to preserve twenty dozens of
eggs. For this number a five
gallon stone or earthenware
crock is the most satisfactory re.
ceptacle. Heat ten quarts of
water to the boiling point and
let it cool. Then pour the water
into the crock, add one quart of
water glass and mix the two.
The solution is then ready for
the eggs. Place the eggs in the
I water-glass solution each day a.
soon as they are laid. Use only
naturally clean, not washed,
fresh eggs. When the crock is
filed to within two inches of the
top of the solution, cover and
store in a cool, dry place until
winter.
By this method eggs may be
stored during spring and sum
mer when they are relatively
cheap and production is high
for use during winter.-wher
prices are high and production is
| low. Farmer and townSmar
alike may save many dollars by
this method of cheap storage OF
eggs. 1t is of the greatest i'm
portance that the eggs used
, should be absolutely fresh
Water-glass will not make bad
eggs good, but will keep good
eggs from becoming bad. &c. A
Webster.

JAPANESE MAKE
READY FOR FOURTH

No residents of the Hood River val
ley have devoted more money and time
or have prepared more enthusiastically
for the Fourth of July celebration than
the members of the Japanese colony,
who will contribute $500 toward the
festivities. They have ordered from
Fresno, Calf, where is located a
branch house of a big Tokyo fireworks
concern, fireworks and mortar to be
used in the local fireworks displays. A
big bamboo mortar, which was used
here a number of years ago, was
brought from the basement of the store
of Yasui Bros. and tested out on the
mouth of the Hood river Sunday. Ii
was found in good condition.
4. Sato and son, ranchers of the West
Side, are at work on two or three of
the set pieces for the fireworks dis
play. Mr.. Sato, who is an orchardist
and berry grower, was formerly an ex-
pert in making fireworks in the old
country, and he promises something
unique for his friends and neighbors.
M. Yasui, who has been instrumental
in securing the enthusiastic cooperation
of the japanese, says that he desires
the people of Hood River to undertand
that maRyNof the costumes that will be
shown in Saturdays parade are merely
representations.
"They would be of much finer ma.
terial, of the finest silks" he says, "it
we were to secure the real costumes
from the old country, and would cost
us several thousand dollars. They are
merely representations made from the
cheap materials we can afford.

THAT SWIMMING POOL

Although the Hood River boy has
much that his father could not boast OF
in his younger days, he misses the old
"swimmin" hole" that most of Hood
River dads, who have come from east
ern homes, remember fondly. When
Riley talks of the "Old Swimmin
Hole" we travel back to boyhoOd
again, become freckle faced and bare
foot urchins, hurrying to the swim
min hole, discarding our waists and
pants as we run, seeing who would be
first to plunge into the pool beneath
the willows
Here at Hood River, where the
smaller streams hurl themselves over
cascades, their water so icy as to make
swimming in them almost impossible
and where the CoIumbia's s depths, too
are icy and treacherous, boys are de
MED that most beloved of all sports OF
boyhood.
The movement on foot to establish 4
swimming hole for the boys is meritor
ius. The cost will be slight, and 1
warm. safe pool will be provided
Boys will enjoy the sport and mothers
may be relieved of worry for fear thcil
sons are away in the treacherous Co
lumbia.

THE CHAUTAUQUA PARK

One of the greatest benefits of this
summers chautauqua will be its cause
of the rediscoyery of the park, in
which the amphitheatre and dancing
pavilion have been erected. The city
has had need for some such meeting
place for many years. While within a
short distance from the city there are
hundreds of places where residents
may go for an evening stroll or to en-
JOY picnic lunch, there has been no
spot directly in the city. The chautau-
qua park offers such spot for those
who desire to spend an evening in a
wooded nook in the open.
1t is wonder that the beautiful
tract there among the trees, the frs
and the naples, has remained hidden
for so long. But very few of the resi-.
dents of the city had ever visited the
spot. They have treat coming during
the next few days.
