More Than $4,000

Martin Sweeney, famous jockey 80
years ago. had been missing nearly that
long. To find him his sister in Chicago
advertised that a fortune of $4,000
awaited him.
1t didn't. The fortune was a myth.
And one might have thought a man so
careful TO conceal his whereabouts so
long, would be peeved if lured from hid
ing by ruse, with disappointment as
the sequel.
But Fate saves Martin Sweeney's sis
ter from his displeasure, because the sis
ter has probably saved Sweeney from
prison. Her advertisements found him
in Sing Sing, whore he had served II
years of a 20-year sentence.

Limit the Time Food
Can Be Stored and the
Prices Will Come Down

II is announced that at recent WASH.
ington conference between department OF
agriculture representatives and cold stor-
ace heads. the latter pledged their heip
in the governments proposed food sur
vey.
Now that is all very nice. 10 is goou
to know just how many tons oil peer anu
poultry and eggs and butter are IN coiu
storage. Uncle Sam can get out per
fectly beautiful statistical report show
ing how many hundred per cent increases
there are in various stored foods.
But we want something more than re-
ports. We can't feed on figures. stats
tics are rather a meager diet. You can L
make a roast or a soup out of them.
You can't fry them with onions.
What we would like to see is some
method of compelling the cold storage
neonle and their chief customers. the
food sharks, TO unload, so that food can
be purchased at a reasonable price. We
are not keen to eat this years chickens
next year at double price. We prefer
this summers eggs this summer, not
winter after next.
The solemn, sickening, damning truth
about this cold storage business is that
one of the finest of mans inventions has
been perverted. 1t should be means OF
saving summer food excess for winter
dearth. a method whereby, cutting out
waste and rot, food is made cheaper thru
out the year.
But that is where the food Spectator:
come in with their dirty hands. They
hoard the food away from the people
BY means of cold storage they beat the
law of supply and demand. Before cole
storage the supply had to be sold. Now
the supply is held.
The demand is allowed to grow unt
the price is forced far beyond what II
should be.
The farmer who raised the food does
not get the extra profit. Every cent
squeezed from the ultimate consumer
goes into the capacious pockets of the
middlemen gamblers.
The way to remedy the evil is to reg
ulate cold storage. Fix time limit be
yond which food cannot be held and the
market will automatically right itself.
