N EnBlRe0 on FOOD

New York World: There is one
sure and speedy way to defeat every
such conspiracy as is now on prog
RES in the grain and provision mar
kets of the United States Ii Is q
sovereign remedy because it asserts
a sovereign power. II war embold-
ems SPECTATORS to put food prices at
ex~tortionate figures in q land OF
plenty. there IS only q thing to do.
and that IS to prohibit the exporta-
ton Of food
We have had several embargoeS IN
this country. but always with the
idea of inficting injury upon others
They failed In this instance an en-
barge upon food exports would be a
success. because it would be applied
in the interest of our own people
If those who make war and hope TO
profit by war should suffer thereby,
50 much stronger would be the de-
mands for peace
Unusual methods of this kind are
never to be recommended except 10
meet extraordinary conditions The
people of the United States haye
produced this food. Their rights
are paramount The greatest crop
ever harvested is now mostly in the
hands of spectators Outrageous
as they are. prices would have been
much nearer the famine level but for
the uncertainty as TO ships
No American need go hungry by
reason of crazy militarissn In Europe
If we can feed our own people and
starye the war makers al the same
time. we shall promote justice and
peace at home and abroad

AS the colonists gradually became
converted 10 the idea that independ-
ence from the mother country was
| necessary they began to modify the
| flag, first by leaving off the union
| jack and using only the thirteen hori-
! zontal stripes, The modified flags
were not always red and white, but
regularly consisted OF combinations
of two colUrs selected from red
white, blue and yellow. The final
modification was the replacement of
the union jack by the white stars
on a blue field.
The stars are the only distinct
feature OF the American flag. The
charming story which credits Betsy
Ross with making the first flag OF
stars and stripes is still accepted by
historians. When Washington sug-
gested the siX-nointed star. she DEM
onstrated the ease with which a
five pointed star could be made by
folding a piece of paper and produc-
ing one with a single clip of the scis-
sors. Some writers are of the opinion
that both stars and stripes in the
flag were derived from the coat of
arms of the Washington family. but
this theory is not generally held
The official adoption of our first
flag was in i777. On June "A of that
year he continental congress passed

thirteen United States be thirteen
stripes, alternate red and white; that
the union be thirteen stars. white on
