DRIVE AGAINST
HIGH FOOD PRICES
Washington Civic Association Cen
tiers Attack on the Middle Man.

NNAS ANNNNN SAA viz ANAANANAN AFAoAAs
Plans to make a drive against ex-
tortlonate food prices in the District
Of Columbia through advocating leg
islation for radical revision of local
systems Of marketing were outlined
by speakers at meeting of the
Washington Civic Association last
night at North Carolina Avenue
Methodist Church.
No decision was reached as to just
what Washington needs in the way of
food markets. The opinion was freely
expressed, however. that present high
prices are abnormal and caused by
distributors passing the food about
unnecessarily"
Prof. Harry F. Lowe. president of
the association, was authorized to
draw up a program OF places and
speakers for subsequent meetings to
thresh out the whole food question as
it affects the people of Washington.
Speakers declared that the way to
reduce the cost of living here was to
/ limit the number OF middlemen who
are to be permitted to handle the
city's food supplies. They pointed out
| that while perhaps there was no great
| degree Of profteering by any one set
| OF middlemen. the aggregate profits
| exacted from consumers were A great
I detriment and caused many families
to do without butter. cream and many
/ other articles of food.
] The opinion was also expressed by
I speakers that little good could come
\ from the adjustment of municipal
markets where the city merely acts as
! landlord. and makes no attempt to see
I that dealers to whom space is let
/ charge fair prices for their goods.
/ Instances were cited where such space
! in public markets as been sublet, the
public derived little or no benefit from
| the expenditure of thousands of dol
| lars for market buildings in the way
/ OF cheaper prices.
Prof. Lowe explained the various
( bills which have been introduced in
I Congress by Senator King, Of Utah,
| to amelioTate market conditions in the
| District. A short address was also
made by ]. ". House, who has made
a special study of food marketing and
/ distribution.
A committee TO meet with the joint
committee on the celebration OF the
: prohibition victory in the District on

Say, Bill, if l but had my wish,
It wouldn't be to swim or fish,
Or grab a bale of coin or fame
But, say, I'd love to lamp a game
With them old Cubs back, IL l could
1 mean the ones now gone for good.
I'd like to look on Miner Brown,
With that old hook still breaking
down,
Leaving the old boys mighty wing
And thudding in the mitt of Killing;
With Steiny shooting one across
With smoke enough to kill a boss,
With p. l.. Chance still on the Job
To kill a hit or block a Cobb
With Tinker back at his old place
The Trojan playing second base.
Two birds? You said a mouthful

Wen never see their like again.

Old and New Giants.
An argument developed a day oil
two ago as to whether or not the
present Giants were the strongest
delegation New York ever had to en-.
ter for a world series engagement.
The opinion seemed to be that they
were. We doubt it exceedingly, no
to say quite a trif1e.
The 1871 Giants are undoubtedly {
stronger world series array than the
Giants of 1911. 1912 and 1913. who sue
CUmbed in succession TO the Athletic!
and White Sox, losing three series
in a row.
But we'd rather have a small wager
on the Giants of 1906 above even the
ball club McGraw has today.
With Bresnahan back of the bat
with Matty and McGinity in the box
with Mccain, Gilbert, Dahlen and
Devlin-with Mertes, Donlin and
Browne-that looks to be the strong

COLUMBUS COMES TO US.

Americas extends cordial welcome
today to the members of the Colum-
bus Rotary club who are making this
city their first official visit.
The spirit in which the visit to
Americas is made, that of promoting
closer personal and business relations
between the two cities, is entirely re-
ciprocated here
Americas feels closer, more friendly,
towards Columbus, perhaps, than it
does toward any other city in the
state.
In view of that fact, intimate trade
relations, more so than now exist,
should be maintained.
At any rate, it is a compliment to
feel that the business men of Column
bus are sufficiently interested to desire
the out-of-town trade of Americas, and
it is credit to their enterprise that
they have adopted this as one of the
means of going after it.
70 an extent, Americas and Column
bus are competitors for trade, there
beng a number of substantial towns
about halfway between the two cit
les whose trade is not given definitely
to any place. There was time when
Americas had all of this business, but
Iat that time the train schedules fav-
ored this city. However, the best of
good natured rivalry prevails, and the
merchants of Americas undoubtedly
feel that if they cannot get it they
would like to see the money spent in
Columbus.
With such sentiment of civic amity
existing between Columbus and Ameri-
Gus, the future is bright for the de-
Te.oon ent of very cordial relations, So
