his topic being Selling Whole Milk VS..
Cream" Mr.. Patten, who is the owner
of large farm and big herd of
Guernsey cattle. in the course of his

milk is left which is most essential in
the raising of calves, hogs and poul-
Try. lie also gave the farmers much

methods. He stated that Canadian peas

Touching the Affected Spot.

Chicago butter and egg dealers have an
nounced that they would in interest Of the public
close their board Of trade" and cease to speculate
in the products they handle. Scarcely had the
telegraph instrument licked off this bit OF infor-
nation than the wire carried the further news that
twenty members Of the exchange had been in
dicted by the federal grand jury for illegally ma
npulating prices and for operation in restraint Of
trade. Among the score so caught in the net OF
justice is the former German consul at Chicago.
This would make 1t appear that the government
has touched on one Of the affected spots, and may
by sharp operation check the disease. Last
month government agents pursued 200 cars" of
eggs through the ramifcations of the Chicago
produce Market only to learn at last that the OBJ
ject OF their quest existed only on paper used to
effect settlements" between the gamblers in food
who have sought to maintain famine prices. Mean
WHILE real eggs by the millions OF cases have been
sent to cold storage creating an artificial short
age now and laying the foundation for another
squeeze next winter, similar to that experienced
during the last II the Department Of Justice is
able to bring these real enemies of the public
good to book il will be filling its mission better
than eyer it did,

Place for Practical Economy.

The tocsn Of economy and conservation
hitherto beating on the ears Of individuals and
families switches for a moment to oficial house,
holds. Families need little urgngs on saving and
avoiding waste. Official households must observe
restrictions on income, but economy in outgo is
lesson yet to be learned The New York
Bureau Of Municipal Research sharply reminds
public officials, in special war bulletin, that what
Is good for individuals and family groups is even
more important in the management OF cities. The
times call for economy in all public resources.
Economy does not mean parsimony. Real public
wants should be cared for as usual, and necessary
improvement 60 forward. What the bureau en-
phasizes most is the elimination of waste in pub
lie service and greater diligence exercised in Sc
curing one hundred cents worth of value for
every dollar Of public money expended. The
huge volume Of money poured out by the national
government in carrying on the war is likely to
tempt minor oAiciaidom to iavishness, forgetting
'he vast difference in the size Of the purses. The
reminder i timely in its local application. City
and county ievics will be made during the next
three months. War conditions and war taxes i'm
peratively demand Of local taxing powers show
ing Of the practical economy preached to other
people.

Month Of the Graduate.

June is also the month Of commencement"
when the schools open their doors outward, and
young men and women come forth to take up the
real work Of life. These will be received with
something Of raillery and much Of nconsequential
jesting from their elders, but il they really have
word to say they will find the world ready to
listen. 1t won't stop for long speech, though,
for it is too busy, but the one who can tell it
something in few phrases will get hearing, and
reward according to the value Of the service.
Those who courageously enter the life that lies
this side Of the school room door will find the old
world Is not such dreadful place after all II Is
capricious, perhaps, and things may not seem
equal in all ways, but it gives everybody chance,
an opportunity to make good, and that Is all any
may rightfully expect Work, hard work, Is the
key to its treasure-house, wherein contentment
may be found, and incentive to do more. Ease is
not to be had, and sloth produces only disappont-
ment. And the world will accept the graduate in
exactly the spirit in which il is approached,
