HOOVER HITS SPECULATION.

In his admirable letter to President Wilson
Of July 10, Herbert Hoover hits the nail on the
read when he declares much of our high prices
are unnecessary and are based on speculation.
1.-THE producer" he says, received an average
If $3.50 a bushel for the 1916 wheat harvest; yet
wheat has been as high as 1925 in Chicago, and
the price of flour has been from time to time based
IN the speculative price of wheat, so that
through one evil cause or another the consumer
has suffered from so per cent. to 100 per cent.
and the producer gained nothing"
In normal times speculation does two things.
1t creates variations in price which cause supplies
to flow to where they are needed, and to distribute
over the period between one harvest and
another.
Neither of these functions are necessary today.
There is only one source-America-and one
rnarket-Europe Speculation should be eliminat-
ed entirely.

A UNIVERSAL ENEMY.

In the army camps and at home, one of the
most relentless enemies that we have to fight is
typhoid fever.
1t is a filth disease. And it is distressing to
contemplate that some of our "bcst people" suffer
from it-probably it's not their own fault, but
nevertheless they are victims of a filth disease.
Turning the pages of history we find that
Prince Albert, consort of Queen Victo:a, died in
prime-at the age of 42-from typhoid fever.
This is a commentary on what may happen to the
best people!
Typhoid is found only in man. 1t is caused,
we are told by a short rod-shaped microscopic
vegetable which enters the body thru the mouth
md leaves it in human d jcharges, to enter an
other mouth, to which it i carried by fluids, food
and FLIES.
And this is the FLY JASON.
So you can readily Sc why an editorial on
typhoid at this time is so rminently aproros.
Army doctors utilize t resources of science
to prevent the dread di case attacking Sam
mics; but the civil populat IN does not enjoy such
'igid supervision-it mus, care for itself. It is
,auses typhoid and attempt to prevent it. Andd
,bout the easiest way we know of is to control thef
fy-prevent it from using the house as a habita-
ton, keep it off foods, buy no food that is exposed
70 flies, insist on cleanliness everywhere.
That's the way to put the deadly typhoid
,%erm-which kills eight per cent. Of the persons
t attacks-out of business.

TRADE N WEALTH.

Sir Walter Raleigh once said:
"The nation which controls the shipping of
the world controls the trade of the world. The
nation which controls the trade of the world con-
trols the wealth of the world. The naion which
controls the wealth of the world controls the
world ITSELF"
realization that we must prepare for the trade
situation after the great war is over. The CON-
petition is sure to be fierce. 1t behooves the gov
eminent not only to plan with an eye to winning
the war, but also to achieving national strength
in winning a fair share of the trade of the world
when the last gun has spoken.

A SECOND RILEY.

William Herschell, Indiana's Second James
Whitcomb Riley" who wrote the Justly celebrat-

The chorus will fetch you. Here it is:

Farmer Browns Boy Explains
Thrice blessed he who does a deed
He knows will serve another's need.

While Sammy Jay and all the other
little people of the Old Orchard
watched and wondered Farmer Browns
Boy went right on working and whist
ling. At last he reached the end of the
old stone wall and then he stopped
digging. Along the whole length of
the old wall just inside the Old Orchard
he had dug little holes. He stretched
his arms and back. for digging so many
holes had been hard work. Then he
started for the barn. The birds watched
him disappear. and the minute he was
out Of sight their tongues began to fly.
While he was at work you wouldn't
have supposed there was a single bird
anywhere around But the very in
slant he was out of sight such a racket
as there was Everybody tried to talk
at once. You see, every blessed one of
them was bubbling over with curiosity.
1t wasn't long before Sammy jay
spied Farmer Browns Boy coming
back. and right away the Old Orchard
became as silent IS before. Farmer
Browns Boy was trundling wheel
barrow which seemed to be filed with
sticks When he reached the Old
orchard he took these out Of the wheel
barrow and then Sammy Jay and his
neighbors saw what they really were.
They were young bushes. Sammy knew
that by the roots.
Into each hole Farmer Browns Boy
set one of these little bushes and care
fully put back the earth around the
roots and pressed il down firmly. He
was planting those little bushes. When
he had planted the last one he once
more disappeared, and once more the

Then Farmer Browns Boy came back
and this time he brought pail of
water in each hand. Very carefully he
watered every one of the little bushes
he had planted along the old wall.
When he had watered the last one he
looked up in the trees where his feath-

BEET WISDOM.

When selecting beets at the market
do not buy these of very large dimen-
sions. II you are planning a summer
crop of beets in your home garden
remember this-that extra large beets
do not cook to advantage, because of
cut before cooking they bleed and
lose their red juice and depreciate in
food value. Some Of the larger sorts
are actually too large to get in a small
stew pan without cutting and. as every
one knows. large vegetables if not cut
up always take longer to cook than
smakker ones. Therefore when you read
in the seed catalogue that this that
beet is the largest OF the summer
beetS' or that it mea SureS five six
inches in diameter show your wisdom
and seek a variety that is medium or
small in size.
One of the nice things about beets
as a vegetable for the amateur garden
is that there is very little waste con-
necteu with growing them. When
!, planted in rows the thinning -out proc
ess provides you with several Elesses
of greens. Usually the beets are
thinned out when the beet roots have
attained size enough to be recognized
as miniature beets. They should be
carefully pulled up. washed, trimmed
and boiled and served with the beets
and greens all together. The larger
beetS allowed to remain are, of course,
too mature when pulled to provide ten
der leaves for greens.
Baked beetS are something of a nov
city in the realm of cookery, but they
are really delicious. The beetS should
be of fair size and good appearance.
They should be washed and freed from
fiber and root ends. They should not.
however. be cut or peeled. They should
be baked as long as potatoes and when
done they should be removed from the
oven and freed of all skin. This comes
off readily when the beets are thor
oushly baked, once skinned the beets
should be cut in slices and seasoned
with a very little butter and bit of
vinegar
Young beets are delicious when they
