acat of ex rtion has been required to remss fsod situations growing out of the over. export and short supplies Of the 1916 harvest.
 There were no reserve stocks in practically all of the main staples with which to enter the new harvest year and in fact in some of the prin- cipal staples the exports had proceed ed to such lengths that there was an absolute under-supply of our own nec- essities during the past two months
 "On the top of this situation, vari- ous factors have interferred with the earlier arrival of the new harvest. The farmer, in preparing for 30 per cent increase of winter wheat acreage in the face of the shortage in agricultural labor. has prevented the free market ing of many commodities, and in ad- dition to these difficulties there exists through the country, owing to the large coal and munitions shipments. a con- siderable car shortage.
 Resulting from these causes there has been periodic shortages in first one commodity after another, in one local ity in the United States after another and large part of the energies of the food administration has been absorbed in securing a distribution and re- distribution of existing supplies in

Cheating Cheaters"

One of the most unusual plays In re- cent years, and one of the few that achieve the distinction of years run in New York, will be seen at the Jeff ferson theatre tonight, matinee and night tomorrow, when A. H. Woods presents Cheating Cheaters."
 Cheating Cheaters" is the work of Max Marcin, author of "The House of Glass;" and comes to the Jefferson theatre direct from seasons run at the Eltinge theatre, New York, where it was proclaimed one of the most original and one of the most entertaining theatrical offerings in many seasons. Cheating Cheaters" is best described as farce meIodrama in four acts, and as such combines the best clements of both farce and melodrama. It abounds in the gay, irresponsible comedy of farce and the terse thrilling situations of melodrama. It's story deals with battle of wits between two sets of crooks. both posing as respectable, and both playing the same game An element, unknown te either, enters the game and spoils then plans. Cheating Cheaters' is tense drama from curtain to curtain as vel as the merriest, most hilarious fun. MT Woods has selected a superb cast to Tn terpret the play.

 "Furthermore. the authority of the food administration does not extend over communities of growers and pro- ducers at one end of the chain. nor does it extend over the great majority of retailers at the other end. The dis tribution chain lying between, that Is, the warehouse. wholesalers. commission men and manufacturers of the prime commodities. has required a great deal of study and development for it's proper regulation. and these regulations are now coming into force"

can naval officers and among other officials who have been watching the situation with expectation since the first mutinies in the German fleet weee reported few days ago.
 FIRST SIGNS OF MUTINY
 The first signs of mutiny in the Ger man fleet were regarded as most sig nificant, since unlike the army It has endured little of the hardship of cam paigning. Dispatches from abroad, however, confirm the opinion of Ameri- can naval officers that it probably was due in large part at least to the belief that the drafting of seamen for sub marine crews was to be increased, a service which has come to hold terrors for the German seaman, because or the infexible British policy of never mak ing any announcement whatever of the fate of captured or lost crews of the German submarines. This suspense as to the fate of comrades who go out never to be heard of again, was ex- pected to undermined the morale of the navy.
 Clashes between German and Aus trian crews are regarded in naval cir cles here as of much significance, par ticularly when considered in the light of the extreme situation arising in Austria, whose fighting forces are at the point of exhaustion.

 BEEF PRICES
 "Becf nIready shows some ten-
 dency toward reduction in whole
 sale prices, but these have not
 been so far reflected I'm the prices
 quoted by the retailer. The price
 of beef at the packers door is
 I41z cents per pound compared
 with IG cents in the month of July.
 while the average retail prices of
 round steak in T00 cities is Fl
 cents per pound against 27 cents
 per pound In July, thus showing
 that retail prices have increased
 while wholesale prices have de-
 creased.
 we have a potato harvest of 59 per cent in excess of the crop of last year. The price at the leading points varies from 1.50 to 80 cents per hundred pounds depending on the section where grown and the cost of getting them to market. The price, which is somewhat higher than at this period last year, is due to a ten dcncy on the part of the producer to hold the potatoes for higher prices than last year, despite of the greatly increased crop and to the temporary inability of the railroads to furnish equipment suf- ficient to move from many sections the quantity available at this time, The average price of potatoes delivered in the markets has closely followed the price which the producer has received plus the cost of distribution to the mar ket.
 Tho larger supply of cars and the large harvest warrant lower prices later in the fall
 "Beet sugar prices nre being con- trolled by the manufacturers m upon basis thnt should reach the re- tailer from s to SLa cents per pound depending upon the locality. Sugar to confectioners from the factories is now being restricted and temporary shortage in the northeastern states gives no war; rnnty for the advances by retnil- | CTS to over cents per pound.

 advancement of these prices by re- tail dealers in the face of n short I supply nnd does not hear any re-
 Iation to the prices at which these
 sugars have been purchased. The ,price of the new Cuban, Porte Rcan and Hawaiian harvest in Decem- l Der will maintain the beet level as soon as it is available. The beet is one and lthree- quarters below August prices and without the concerted action of beet manufacturers and the refiners of cane sugar, prices would now be up to IL cents. owing to the short supplies dur. | ing the next few days.

sThe Beauty Shop"

One of the distinctive features of The Beauty Shop" the big musical gaiety which will be seen at the Jefferson thea ire for three days next week, beginning Thursday, matinee Saturday, is the cos tuning.
 The first act, which Is set in an ultra fashionable beauty parlor catering only to the upper ten gives the modiste ann pie opportunity to display his or her art and individuality, and the manage ment has not been slow to take advan- tage of this wide range of possibility even to the extent of prodigality, many of the gowns worn by the ladies being advanced Poiret models. The second and third acts are laid in Corsica, and the costumes for these scenes were i'm ported for them at an enormous ex- pense and no end of trouble.
 The company presenting the piece num- bers 60, and no doubt theatregoers Will see many familiar faces when the cur tain rises The chorus is an exceedingly pretty one containing 90 of the pretties' girls ever seen in traveling organiza- ton.
