MONEY IN FOODS

A retail grocer was telling a. few
days ago about the opportunities to
make money on the present high food
prices. But he insisted that the small
grocer with only little capital is
getting nothing out Of it. He has to
buy from hand to mouth and can't
get any higher price than what he
paid, plus the bare expenses of doing
business
But according to him. .the-who1esa1a

The official world must adopt
large and tolerant view. It must
learn to realize that unsound views
and wild statements kill themselves,
and it must be willing to extract the
grain Of sound sense from much chaff
that surrounds it.

Young Physician From Here
Undergoes Intensive"
Training in South

His experiences in q southern
training camp are related by DIR.
Alfred D. Strickler, who is a lieu
tenant in the 31Sth Regiment, First
Artillery, Sanitary Detachment now
stationed at Camp Jackson, Column
bia, S. c., in a letter to Stanley u.
Backenstoss. Before enlisting DR..
Strickler had offices at 1850 Market
street. His letter follows:
Dear Stanley:
well, here L am pretty we'll "sot
right down here in the sunny south.
My career at Fort Oglethorpe, Geor-
gia was brief, but eventful. After
two weeks of intensive training 1
was assigned to a sanitary detacn-
ment (regimentaD and ordered to
the Columbia, S. C. National Army
encampment.
AT Oglethorpe we were just
buck privates, so to speak, drilling
in the ranks like the dickens. They
told us we were (the medical mem
eighty-five per cent soldier and fit
teen per cent. physician. l think the
latter rating somewhat high at that,
as we have up to the present time
been anything but doctors or sur
geons.
For instance, we have drilled,
made our own beds, done our own
washing, acted as carpenters, clear
ers of barracks and grounds, etc.,
etc. All this lovely work-very
much out of place for professional
man-did not appear hard to me,
but for some of the older and real
digniffed members of our noble"
profession, many of whom have
risen to places of eminence in city
and country towns alike, it surely
was q pill. You should have seen
some of those fellows drilling in the
hot Georgia sun! But, believe me,
they were game; almost every one
of them.
Sunday a week ago we moved
across country to this place - t5
officers and 375 men-a big troop
train. The regimental surgeon of my
detachment is DR.. Babcock, of
Philadelphia, Pa, very prominent
surgeon there and a mighty fine
man. We are with the 31Sth regi-
ment of field artillery. Our sanitary
detachment consists of four surgeons
and thirty-three men. The regiment
will probably contain 1000 men. All
the officers are here, but the drafted
men have not arrived. Wednesday
of this week they begain to blow in
and we then give them all another
thorough examination. 1t is some
big job-this training of a national
army, and the officers will have their
hands full"

Motor Club Secretary
Finds Road in Fine, Shape

Secretary J. Clyde Myton, of the
from a motor trip to the western part
of the State and said this morning
that he found the roads west of Har-
risburg in better condition than ever
before.
THAT is particularly true of the
William Penn Highway" said Mr..
Myton.
"The early completion of the Will
liam Penn Highway will mean much
to Harrisburg. 1t will be noted that
the number of automobiles passing
through Harrisburg bearing license
tags of other States is increasing
daily. And this increase, it seems to
me, will be permanent. Every town
on the William Penn Highway will
benefit from this travel, and also from
the increased trucking facilities af-
forded farmers, who, with a good
road, will be able to cover a far
grfeater territory than heretofore"

There has been some sentiment
found in this country that the
United States should not have en-
gagged in this war. There is no
question but that the United
States should not have been
obliged to enter, but as facts grad
ually come to light, it is found
that there was no alternative.
We are in it. We were in it be-
fore we admitted it. No despotic
ruler decreed our declaration Of
war, but our democratic form Of
government framed it, which
means that our elected representa-
tves found it the only thing to do.
In this nation the majority
rules, and the result has always
been good. 1t is poor patriotism
for few to stand back and OBJ
.ject to the action of our represen-
tative government because they
personally hold different opinions.
Nobody is obliged to think exact
ly like the other fellow, but he
must act in unison with his coun-
trymen in a national crisis.
Many socialists object to the
war on the general basis of dis
belief in war. Yet disbelief in
killing would not hinder them
from eradicating a mad dog or
hanging murderer, or using force
III protecting their families from
pillage and despoilation. Social
ism can never become reality
until democracy becomes COM
plete, and democracy can not pro-
gress while monarchy rules large
part of the world.
The winning of the war by the
United States would be a greater
growth toward socialism than
any other imminent event, and
the very methods now being used
by the government to handle the
war are highly sOcialistic. Hence
it is just as futile for the public
to decry socialism at this time, as
it is for any socialist party to OBJ
ject to the progress Of world de-
mocracy in uprOoting monarchy
and setting a pace for greater pos
sible individual freedom.
A few individuals should not
be permitted to discredit a party
or a policy or a community.
When they are wrong, show them.

country to see that your neigh

Tomorrow is Food Saving Day,
so desi signated by Herbert Hoover,
in charge of the national depart
mcnt Of food conservation. Every
minister in the United States has
been asked to preach on the sub
ject of food conservation tomor-
row, and that it may be made the
purpose Of every household in
America to save waste and win
the war.
Observe the following econo-
mics, that the nation may divide
its food with our hungry allies:
Save wheat. Eat at least one
wheatless meal a day, substitut.
ing corn bread or other cereal.
Save meat Buy less, serve
smaller portions, allow no waste,
Save fats. Use no butter in
cooking Serve less butter on the
table; use less lard, bacon and
other pork products.
Substitutes Increase use of fish,
potatoes, beans, peas, turnips, cab
bages and vegetables generally,
corn, buckwheat, rye and rice,
which will be abundant this har-
vest.
Save transportation. Consume
products of local origin as far as
possible. Buy from local miller,
local packer. Buy and eat veget.
ables grown near home.
Preach the gospel of "clean
plate. Buy less foodstuffs, serve
smaller portions, and see that
nothing Of value goes into the
garbage can.
Preserve any surplus for win
ter use.
"a single pound of bread saved
weekly for each person." says
Hoover, "will increase our export
surplus of wheat 100, 100000 bush
els and an average saving of 9
cents on each meal every day for
each person will save to the ma
tlon for war purposes $2,0OO,0OO

The Sunday newspapers were

Americans who volunteer for
army service in time of trouble, or
gladly register according to plans
made by their own country, are
the kind of men who are not only
esteemed by our citizenship, but
who form the basis Of our citizen
ship. In revolutionary and civil
war periods, the men who enlisted
were not the drones or the dregs
of the country. On the contrary,
they were the best in the country.
And today the young manhood OF
the country is asked to prepare
to defend this nation and human
ity in righteous cause. They
are picked as the best fitted to
serve us all, and let us not forget
that every man who prepares for
the front is going on our mission
working for us-our direct rep
resentative in a most important
undertaking. Their work is in
our cause, and they are taking the
place of many of us who are not
considered the fittest for the work.
Their welfare, their preservation,
their care, must be uppermost in
our minds, that they may ac-
cOmplish our mission.

With the coming Of the chau-
tauqua to Colville, the matter of
collecting the usual city license
from the chautauqua is up again,
and the council has been petition
ed to remit the license, or pass an
ordinance which will not include
it. Outside attractions which
come to the city for the purpose
of collecting money in admis-
Sons are charged license, accord
ing to an ordinance which has
been on the books many years.
These licenses help to conduct the
city government, and taxation
would be higher if no such license
were collected. The chautauqua
requires 81 900 annually from Col
vile for it's appearance, collecting
pay at the door. The council has
seen no reason for killing it's ordi-
nance requiring a $50 license from
this chautauqua. When all pro-
ceeds of an entertainment 60 to
local organizations, no license
should be charged but for the
protection Of local talent, home
amusements, and Colville picture
shows, all Of whom either pay a
license or taxes for maintaining
the town, outsiders should be
taxed. 1t is not likely that the
council will change it's stand on
this fundamental principle of
equalization in taxation. When
chautauqua performers live in
Colville and pay taxes on homes
here, they will not be taxed.
Advertising always keeps down
prices. The local merchant who
advertises heaviest always sells
cheapest. The manufacturer who
advertises his product the most,
usually sells the same quality for
less. Among the nationally adj
vcrtised products which have not
been raised in price are the follow
ing 52 which have been perhaps
more widely advertised than any
others:
