Supply And Demand

n The old and worn out explanation that
prices are governed exclusively by the
law Of supply and demand will probably
continue to be the excuse for uniustly
raising prices on all kinds Of foodstuffs,
and other commodities, and people will
continue to swallow it. In other words,
the argument is that if you have some
thing to sell that your neighbor wants,
and he can get it from no one else you
are perfectly justified in squeezing him
to the limit that is according to the law
of supply and demand. It does not
matter to the man who regulates his
prices on this principle, what the article
has cost him, or how great margin OF
profit he is to reap, he feels that is his
right as well as his privilege to increase
the price to the point of extortion. His
argument in his own mind is that the
other party is to pay for it, and it is up
to him to get all that he can out of it.
During the past two or three years the
United States has seen more of this sort
of thing than ever before, and even be-
fore the advent of the European war the
people of this country were of the general
opinion that the limit had about been
reached. The application of the law of
supply on the coal and oil industries,
as well as the food for the workingman's
table has caused the blood of the nation
to run cold. Monopoly is we'll known
to be the foundation for the trust system,
and yet the people or the government
seem to be unable to right the wrong
which is being practiced daily. -
s. To the average man it appears that the
people are powerless to do anything, and
the government won't. It may investi-
gate, but a large percentage can easily
starve while the average Congressional
committee of some federal board is in
vestigating, and these Investigations
usually end in investigating. If they
ever get anywhere no one has ever been
able to find out where.
The claim that the country has been
drained of its food supply. is without
truth, and the present manipulation Of
the necessaries of life is violation, of the
antitrust laws.
There is possibility that the food
stuff corner will soon collapse. 1t is high
time that it did. The quick decision of
municipal, state and federal authorities
to examine the contents of the big
storage plants, exposing the actual
visible supply, is likely~to cause the
monopolists to relax their grip on the
market. And yet the price manipula-
tors have such habit of defying state
and national laws that they will probably
keep prices up as high and as long as it is
possible.

In spite of the boycott placed on
potatoes by the housewives of Minnea-
polls, prices continue to soar. MANY
women are substituting rice for potatoes,
which is equally as nutritious as the pota-
to, very palatable and much cheaper. You
can beat the potato at it's own game
and not half try. -.#

Thrift Service To The Nation

A company has just been organized in
New York, called the National Thrift
Bond Corporation, which proposes to sell
city, county and government bonds at
as small denominations as $40. ..
Behind the plan are men known
nationally, and they hope to bring to-
gether the money-saver and the oppor-
sunity. They will buy the very safest
bonds in the world-bonds issued by
American cities, counties, school districts,
states and the United States government.
The corporation will deposit these bonds
in one of the largest and strongest trust
companies of New York. It will then
issue 'Thrift Bonds" for SO per cent of
the value of the bonds issued by thettrust
company in pieces of $40 and up, which
will be sold wherever men and women
go to spend money. Stores of all kinds
will carry them, as we'll as banks and
express offices. 's-
Whoever buys them will own pro-
portionate share of the bonds bought by
the company.
1t is a plan to put the best securities
in America into the hands of the people
to give all the people like opportunity
and placing the handling of these bonds
for the purchasers at as near cost as it is
possible to do.
The proposition, on the face of it is a
most commendable one and without
doubt will succeed, and become very
popular.

Agricultural College, Miss.-July 2.
As a rule of the outbreak of anthrax
or Charlton in several counties of
Mississippi, DR.. f. M. Ranck, State
veterinarian, has issued the followin"
open letter to the farmers of the State:
Be sure it is anthrax. A drop of
blood spread thin on piece of smooth
glass and dried in the air, wrapped
securely and mailed to State veterina-
rian, Agricultural College, will be ex-
amined by the bacteriologist.
IF anthrax exists quarantine all an
imals on premises. Do not let any
come on or off until they are safe.
They can spread the disease.
Vaccinate with anthrax vaccine.
There are two kinds of vaccine. Sc
rum and virus, and virus alone. The
serum and virus are given at one
time. They produce immunity quick
er than the virus alone, but are more
expensive. Be sure that the directions
are followed to the letter. Animals
vaccinated with serum and virus
should be kept in quarantine for five
DAYS after treatment. Virus treated
animals should be kept for ten days
after the last dose is given. They can
work during this time.
Vaccine is dangerous If not handled
by trained men. 1t may produce the
disease if not properly administrated.
The manufacturers assume no respOn-
sibility for accidents following the use
OF vaccine. This material should be
used by competent veterinarians.
Boards of supervisors are authorized
by House bill al, laws Of 1910, to ap-
propiate money for eradication OF dis
eases of live stock. Country officers
should assist in maintaining quaran'
tines.
All animals dying from anthrax
should be burned. Buzzards spread
the disease. Dogs and hogs may
spread the disease by eating carcas.
A grave may remain infected fol
years. 1t is dangerous to man. Don'i
take hide off animal. People have
lost their lives by 80 doing, and the
hides may be infectious. The serum
alone can be used on animals that are
sick. 1t must be injected with great
care and the needle used may spread
the disease to other animals il moi
sterilized.
Cows exposed to the disease should
not be used for milk or meat purposes
until five days after the simultaneous
or serum and virus treatment.-New
Orleans Daily States.

THE BOY SCOUTS.

The Boy Scouts of America per-
formed a notable service to the
country in their campaign for the sale
of the Liberty Loan Bonds. Through
their efforts more than s25 200, 900 of
the bonds were sold directly. How
many sales were due indirectly to
their activity can not be known.
The Boy Scouts worked sys-

agencies and effected sales that would
not have been made without their
efforts.
The Scouts have not only proven
their patriotism. They have shown
their efficiency and their civic value.
