High Prices May be Attributed Largely
..~~ to Psychological Food Panic
ByRepresentative Dan v. Stephen, Of Nebraska

War conditions invariably produce prices food panic
caused by the large number of people who have been
convinced that food shortage exists Whether the shortage real
faned makes difference the result Whenever considerable
Der of people who deal fodu believe that
they to be large buyers
The fact that large number of who know the market situation

the thing Legitimate food products catch the spirit
the environment and whisper their patrons that food shortage
imminent and that they had better lay large stocks while they have
opportunity do This advice usually followed by those who
afford with the result that thousands of people become bidders for
available supplies, which inevitably forces up prices.
The panic wheat greatly ccentuaed by average
citizen purchasing large quantities of -four This caused the
retail dealer his order for additional -four with
and the wholesaler compelled place
the miller Thousands of people doing this all the country created
the minds of the mers that they would be able to obtain
supplies of wheat sufficient quantity fill their They
fore rushed the wheat market and bought wheat with the that the
price of wheat greatly advanced
This situation largely psychological few years ago p
dent of the United States made statement that has been
mented the effect that the depressed

better illustrate the truth of the presidents than present
prevailing in this country It is that the
crop sho but the 1915 crop excessive average
the years taken find that average crop for the
five preceding the Therefore great shortage
then the excessive high price cannot be justified any ground
than that of public opinion That say whenever
people believe that going the very fact that they believe

MUSIC NEED OF FIGHTING MEN
Cheer to Troops and is Just as
Necessary as Ammunition.

'"The blare of the trombone, the
shrill note of the piccolo and the
drums blending with other band in
struments in a military organization
give cheer to the men with the guns
and is just as necessary as ammuni-
ton" says Charles H. Parsons of New
York. During the Spanish-American
war the tunes happily accepted were
those of the vaudeville stage, when
'There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old
Town Tonight was said to have led
troops to the capture of San Juan hill
The old Civil war melodies having the
swing of march cadence were first of
all, Dixie probably used, at least
hummingly, by the soldiers of the
North, as those who followed the
Stars and Bars And it is worth while
to recall that Dixie was the most
popular of all the melodies strummed
in camp and sung in action of all the
old-time songs during the war Of 1898.
Canned music will give to the boys
at the front much of their entertain
ment evenings to come" added Mr..
Parsons. 1.-THE photographic records
will cheer many groups. And they
will have programs provided by the
stars Of the operate world and other
entertainers who may not give to them
their cheer first hand"
