Apple Famine and Plenty.

Even in Boston strong voices are
raised against the injustice of middle
mems greed and in favor of corpora
tive selling on the part of growers.
Touching the apple situation the Bos-
ton Globe says:
When apple trees bend to breaking
under their burdens of fruit, and the
farmer is. nevertheless, offered too lit
tie to pay him for sending the fruit to
market, something is wrong. Apples
are abundant-"too abundant to pay
for harvesting Them This is an alb
surd state of affairs.
Our European markets are all but
closed. That the Winter which is COM
ing will be an easy one is more than
We can rightly expect. Here is a mag
nificent fruit crop at our doors. Is it
to be left rotting on the ground?
Evidence from more source than one
reproaches the middleman. Apples
have been bought in Maine for less
than dollar a barrel and sold in Bos-
ton for 60 cents peck. This has meant
that the growers have made, if any
profit at all, a profit of cents, as
against the distributors profit of dol
lars
When our population needs this food
and the producers of it need the mar
ket, it is time to recognize the necessi-
ty of changing a system of distribution.
Growers are being forced into Coop
erative selling. They need cold storage
plants to extend and equalize the pc
Rod of distribution. They need an as
ISOLATION for mutual help and protec-
ton.
The stories of market gardeners
forced to discard tons of vegetables
because the retailers could not sell
them at a profit are familiar to most
Of us. This affair of the apple crop is
another instance. 1t looks as If the
present wasteful system of distribu-
ton were destined to fall by its own
weight

As Broad as Ii Is Long

A card appears in the window oil
each store operated by the United CT
gar Stores, reading:
Every unemployed worker can go tc
work if you buy Made in America
goods.
This is true
But it didn't need the war in Europe
to make it so.
It was true at the very time the
party now in power was enacting a
Tariff law confessedly intended to
make it easier to buy goods made by
peasants in Europe or coolies in the
Orient, or agricultural commodities
raised by poems in South America.
If buying made in America goods
means putting the unemployed to
work. then buying goods made abroad
means putting employed Americans
out of jobs, doesn't it?
That's a pretty plain proposition.
That's exactly what it has done this
year.
Why shouldn't the law forbid any
man who enjoys the blessings and
benefits of our civilization from buy
ing abroad goods that are made cheap
~ by cheapening the man who makes
them?
Especially when it means cheapness
only to the importer, not to the con-
sumner?
If a man wants to use coolie made,
peon made, peasant made goods, why
shouldn't he be willing to go and live
among peasants. coolies and poems?
What right has he TO demand the priv
ilege of American citizenship. and then
seek to degrade the toilers of this
country to the level of those of other
lands, or else ask them to starve to
death because the foreigner can under
sell them?-Indiana State Journal
The free trader is the most seihsh
individual known. to science, yet ne
boasts OF his magnaminity and desire
TO stand his hand with any human
being. In truth he wants to subsist on
the cheap product of foreign labor at
the expense of his own neighbors-if
it does not effect his own job.
The average free trader is the same
type of chap who buys of mail order
houses, and then whines because local
dealers cannot carry all the things
that he happens to find he can buy
cheaper at home.
Never mind home industries if we
can buy for less money abroad, is the
policy. But when war interferes with
the foreign supply. then the devil is
to pay, as we'll as the home govern
ment.

In a letter to the AS the World Ways
department of the Boston Herald, a cor
respondent tells of seeing a crowd of peo-
pie standing before a shop window
watching young man who was tossing
fiapjacks. The crowd did not appear to
be a hungry one, and he wonders why so
many people should gaze, as though fas-
cinated, at such spectacle. To the stu
dent of human nature the answer is easy
and we wonder that the erudite gentle
man who presides over that department
dld not find in it inspiration for one of
his finished essays of thumbnail size. The
crowd watched the lapjack tosser as 1t
will watch juggler, or any exhibition Of
particular dexterity in the hope, or fear
or on the thrilling chance, that the manip-
ulator of fiapjacks, or cannonballs, or
whatnot, will blunder and mix things
up. OF course, he never does, but the
crowd will continue to watch in hope or
fear that the expected will happen some
time.-Biddeford Journal.
Sure. The hit of the season was
made by the vaudeville cyclist who
fnmbled and swept out a dozen foot
lights. The crowd laughed itself into
Mysteries. After that he did it every
night for awhile. but 1t never caught
the crowd as did the real slip-up.
That's human nature. Who wouldn't
rather see a dude fall overheard than
see him jump over?
