The league will be opened this year

The Portland Ad Club has de
monstrated the fact that fish
may be brought to Portland ant
sold at prices ranging below
one half of what the retail
merchants charge. Besides
making expenses the Club real
lied a profit Of $3.50 the first
week of its venture. when more
than 20 pounds of fish were
disposed of. IL is expected
that the city will take this mar
ket over and continue the sale
of fish at practically cost. This
instance is o fair demonstration
of the saving TO the consumer
when the midldeman's profit
and other profits are removed.
The Ad Club. however. had one
advantage over the retailer. in
that no rent was paid and fish
was sold only as a whole or
cut in half. and all sales were
for cash. with no delivery ser.
vice involved. If il could be
so arranged that the city could
act as middleman on a large
number of commodities and
fruits and vegetables. buying
direct from the producer and
furnishing same TO the retailers
at cost, undoubtedly the con.
sumner would largely benefit.
by a practical adjustment of
things, there is no reason for
the middleman's oftimes enor-
nous profits.

Ambassador Gerard's address
in Portland only accentuated
the great responsibility of this
country in the great European
conflict. He made il very plain
that man power will be the real
deciding factor in bringing
about "a victory. and that the
necessity of more ships was
most vital. The object of his
visit here seemed to be to
arouse the people to a more
vivid realization of the fact
that our resources and man
power, perhaps to the limit, will
be needed TO bring the war to o
victorious conclusion.
