The Hague, by MaiD Holland is
now suffering from high food prices,
the result of various causes chief OF
which was the rush of Dutch produc-
ers at the beginning OF the war to
take advantage of the increased de-
mand from abroad and the conse-
quently augmented rates offered by
foreign buyers.
Retail prices o. LUMBER of ar
ticles Of consumption have arisen IN
ever increasing ratio ever since the
outbre;sk of hostilities. Statistics
covering p articles have been com
piled and these show that. figuring
the average cost at 100 during the
past twenty years, the prices have
now risen by 30 per cent Prices,
however, had started going up some
time before the war. In fact, since
1907 they have been rising steadily
two or three points year until July,
1914, when they stood at 113 From
August to December last year they
jumped suddenly to 12l in January
this year they had mounted to l29, in
February to 150 and they are still
going UP.

TIE GENDER OF SHIPS

We borrow the following bit oi
nautical lore from the New York Ma
rlne journal:
THE word ship is masculine in
French. Italian Spanish and Portu-
guese and possesses no sex in Teu-
tonic and Scandinavian Perhaps it
would not be an error to trace the
custom Of femining ships back to
the Greeks, who called them by fem
iuine names. probably out Of defer
enee to Athene goddess Of the sea.
But the speaking sailor as
signs no such reason The ship to
him is always lady. even though
she be man of-war She posses a
waist collars stays laces. bonnets.
ties, ribbons, chains. watches and
dozens Of other distinctly feminine
attributes

Of which Holland always possesses a

quantity of the crop produced annual,

tons of this quantity is ground into
potato flour, for which since the war
began there has been an enormous
demand from Germany. There was
also a greater demand for potatoes in
Holland itself owing to the presen e

of which the state association will al
ways be proud.
The press program was carried out

that deserve special mention.

BRINGING CONSUMER AND

| in operation a project which LOOKS
! TO bringing the producer and con
sumner Of farm products closer to

With view TO encouraging direct
dealing between the urban buyers and
the growers of country produce. il Is
proposed to establish a price bulletin
service which shall give both the
wholesale and retail price in the var
ious big city markets for all sorts Of
food supplies. These bulletins WI
be carefully edited to the end that
both the producers and the consum- |
ers may be kept definitely and ae-
curately informed at all times of the !
state of the different markets. In 1
addition to this, there will be put n /
operation, we are told. a tariff of /
rates for the delivery of farm and /
food supplies which will reduce the I
prices to the consumers, while in
creasing those received by the pro-
ducers--the double benefit to be ef- /
fected by elimination OF the middle 1
men and their more or less excessive 1
profits. That the project is praoti 4

there is not apparent reason why If
should not prove successful in opera

practical contribution to solution of
the problem of the high cost of liv

generally would do well to seriously
consider the adyisability OF initiating.

"Did Herself Proud"

From Crescent City News; Guth
rie did herself proud last week in the
entertainment of the editors of the
state on the occasion of the annual
session of the Oklahoma State Ed
torial association. There were some
four hundred editors accompanied by
their wives, sons, daughters and
sweethearts and Guthrie certainly
made them have an excellent time
from the very moment they set foot
on her domain until the last editor had
left town. The well planned program
was carried ont in most apprecia-
tive and entertaining manner. Every
thing was free to the editors, even to
the municipal bath house and well, if
reports are to be believed everyone
took their annual bath and even had
a more appropriate towel than the
old office emblem.
Guthrie has the finest bath house
in America and Logan county and
Oklahoma join with her in being
proud Of it, The curative waters
have drawn people from far and near

tues, in fact it seems wonderful.

tainment last week, and ell bespeak
