until late In the fall.

FOOD SPECTATORS.
When People Buy to Hoard They Do
Themselves and Others Injury.

Buying seeral months supply of
flour, sugar, coffee and other like items
is not only unpatriotic, but it is further
not good business for the buyer.
1t appears probable that the tendency
the country over ON the part of con
sumers to store up food far in excess Of
normal needs is responsible for much
of the recent price aviation.
Sugar refners assert that the present
price of their product is but reflection
of the buying hysteria of the consumer
and that the future probabilities are
for lower prices.
Is 1t not plain therefore that, instead
of being forehanded and provident, the
consumers who are today stocking up
with these various items will find, long
before their supply is exhausted, that
they are eating food costing consider
Iably more money than the same food
could be purchased for at the time.
Food spectators would seem to
| be the correct term to apply to those
who are now indulging in this orgy of
| buying.
| There is another side to the matter.
Through their forcing up of prices these
consumer spectators are making it
difficult for the average buyer to obtain
the necessities of life for his family.
Only small percentage of the people
have funds to indulge in the practice
of food boarding. The larger percentage
mot having this ability are the suffer
ers from this misguided policy
A little application of the principles
of the golden rule might not be amiss
at this time.

yesterday signed another contract with
the Pittsburg club and will play first

After General Sherman had expert
.enced several years of war he gave a
definition of it that has been remem-
bered all these years. Anyone desiring
to know the full meaning of that famous
phrase can reach an understanding be-
fore the end of the third inning of any
ball game he sees tit to umpire.
Sporting events do bunch in spite of
everything. Here 5 a baseball game

The actual figures are 10,197 and 1869
respectively And he is going to add
60 these before he quits.
Ouesman. and only one, can pass the
10000 mark and almost certainly will
go by the 5000 base hit record this
