Pantry Shelf Almost Empty.

So far there has been in almost, every
German household a sacredly conserved
though slowly disappearing supply Of
delicacies saved from fuller years. or
Transferred" as the Germans put it, in
the days before the food regulations
were too strict. There were honey, mar
malade. canned fruits and vegetables,
preserved meats. condensed milk and
other priceless treasures that made
many unpalatab1e meals eatable. But
pantry shelves are emptier now, and
the opportunities for filling them up
against the winters demands are few.
The two and one-half pounds Of sugar
which were allotted per capita for pre-
serving fruit failed to produce the
necessary results because fruit has been
scarce and the prices almost prohibi:
tive. Last year, too. there were still
fragmentary imports Of foods from
neighboring neutrals. Now these have
practically disappeared. So Mrs. Hub
bard's impoverished and disappointed
canine has lots of human company in
Germany this year.

The things you can get without cards
are rapidly disappearing. When the
meat cards came out, for instance, game
and poultry were not included. Pres
from the exempted lists. turkeys fol-
lowed. and then game was allowed to
be sold only against meat cards. For
some reason geese were still exempt,
with the result that geese reached fab
ulous prices. as high as $40 being paid
for fat specimens. Now these have been
put on the meat card lists, and maxi
mum prices have been put against them
by the authorities. The latter average
about 60 cents pound. Only tame rab-
cards. but the Berlin folk have not
taken very kindly to them, even though
the municipality has tried to make
them more attractive by permitting

hidden.
Dealers Let Food Waste.
Maximum prices have been another
stumbling block of the food problem.
Whenever the excessive demand raised
the prices in Germany the various au-
thorities Immediately took advantage
of their power to fix maximum prices,
above which the article could not be
sold. under severe penalties. Invaria-
bly, the result was the same. The article
disappeared from the markets. Scant
supplies reappeared for CUMBERLAND"
traffic at twice or three times the au-
thoritative price. but the bulk of the
supply disappeared completely. Enor-
nous amounts of valuable foodstuffs
are known to have been wasted in this
way. Perishable foods were, often
thrown away by producers who refused
to yield to the maximum price orders.
The authorities prosecuted these relent-
lessly where they could be reached. but
they never cured the evil. Only where
the maximum price fixing was accom-
panied by the government seizure of
the supply and complete government
control. as in the case of grain, potatoes
and meat. could this be counteracted.
The problem will always remain one of
the most interesting phenomena of
these abnormal economic conditions.

Receiver Appointed for Equity Mutual

Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Aug. s.-H. H. Hamil-
ton, of Sioux City, has been appointed
receiver for the Equity Mutual Fire
Insurance Association of that place.
Recently the certificate Of authority Of
this association was revoked by State
Insurance Commissioner English on
account Of it's insolvency.
In a statement issued by the insur-
ance department as to the examina-
lions now being made it is declared
that "the insurance department is deal
ing with impairments in at least three
other domestic insurance organizations,
but the officers Of these are bending
their energies to restore the deficit and
place the institutions upon solvent
basis. The Equity made an effort to
do this by an extra assessment upon
its membership but was unsuccessful
in the collection of any considerable
portion of the funds necessary to re-
store solvency."
Meet Excessive Losses.
AS to examinations now being made
by the department the state insurance
commissioner says further:
1.-The state insurance department
now has three groups Of official ex-
aminer engaged in constant exam
nations of the insurance organizations
located in Iowa. The law for many
years required these examinations to
be conducted bennially at the expense
of the companies.
THE number of domestic organiza :
tions has increased and the volume of
business transacted grown to such
proportions that this branch of the
service in the interest of the public
under the supervision of Insurance
Commissioner Emory H. English has
reached large proportions. Every pos
sible phase of the business is touched
by these inquiries into the condition
and transactions of the companies, as
sociations and fraternal societies. In
correct practices are stopped and I'M
proved methods Of operation suggested
and. in this way the organizations
strengthened and benefited irnmeasur-
ably.
Some Of the weaker companies in
the state have encountered difficulties
the past year on account Of excessive
losses. The examinations have dis
closed several and extra assessments
have been ordered made by the COM
missioner of insurance in case of as
sessment associations which have de-
veloped impairment Of reserves In
one or two instances conditions have
not justified the continuance OF the or
CARNATIONS and certificates Of author
ity have been revoked by the commits
sioner and the business Of the impaired
and insolvent institution reinsured in
