With very little delay my trunks
were strapped to a barrow and the
barrow man pushed off down. the
beautiful street, otherwise known as
the Bund, which runs along the edge
of the river. It is on this drive that
the aristocratic merchants Of Shang-
hal display their new autos, pet race
horses and thoroughbred carriage
horses And of course their wives
and the little ariStOcrats appear in
all the fnery possible. Well, / fol-
lowed that barrow man and at the
same time enjoyed the many strange
and wonderful sights for which
Aanshai is noted. But there is a
limit to ones power to see and APP
preciate. and as my brain was weary
was glad when the barrow man
halted at the main entrance of the
Missionary Home, temperance
h0lel specially conducted to accom-
modate the scores of missionaries
who pass through Shanghai en- route
to and from the interior OF China.
This Home" is indecd-a haven for
the weary. The large and comfort.
able rooms, the wholesome food
and spiritual fellowship all blend to-
gether to quicken one into freshness
of life. / am so glad for place to
steal away and rest my weary body
and mind. One who has not had
the experience would not believe
how very hard on one it is to travel
in districts where the scenery and
customs of people are new.

Another ruinous practice that should
be stopped, by law if necessary, is the
practice of slaughtering very young
animals, particularly calves and lambs
The waste of material is too great to
be countenanced under present condi-
tons. If all the calves, pigs and
lambs in this country are allowed to
grow to maturity it will go a long way
toward remedying the present great
shortage.
But above all things, do not destroy
the source of supply-the females.
Intelligent attention to this detail is
absolutely necessary if our supply is
to be kept up to the great demand
that will continue to be made upon it
for some time to come.

THE MEAT QUESTION.

The present exhorbitant prices Of
meat, together with the reported scar
city of hogs and cattle, should cause
the farmers Of this country some con-
Germ for the future. True the search
ty is not so great in this country as in
others, but on the other hand our ex-
port demands ere Unfortunately heavy.
1t is estimated that since the war be-
gan, there has been a decrease in the
worlds meat producing animals of
115, 000,0 00 head. This has had it's
logical effect.
Taken all around, this country has
increased its supply of meat produc-
ing animals, but, as we have stated, the
demand on US has also increased many
times. Exports of meat from this
country are nearly three times as
large now as during the period i'm
mediately preceding the war.
Now it is perfectly evident that if
we are to continue to meet the heavy
demand upon our resources we will be
compelled to conserve the source of
supply. In plain words we must bend
our energies to the breeding of more
live stock of all kinds.
The feeding season is close at hand
and the farmers and stock growers
will soon begin to sort out the stock
that is to go to the slaughter. In this
sorting, care should be taken that all
likely females be saved. With the
present high prices, the temptation
will be great to let many Of them go,
'F
but this temptation should be resisted.
Each man should study for the future
and do his best to keep up the avail
able supply. During the past two or
three years many good breeding ami
mails have been sacrificed that, if kept
would now put their owners on easy
street. All authorities agree that
there is absolutely no danger Of prices
falling to any great extent for some
years to come, so that each grower
should plan to get the most increase
possible out Of all animals.

HIGH PRICES.

One OF u leaulng PUBIC men eX-
claims: Nobody seems to know why
shoes have jumped so high except that
the sellers are able to get the price,"
He need not have confined his obser-
walton to shoes, for they apply equally
to practically everything else. Real
ly he answers his own question, when
he intimates that prices are high be-
cause the sellers can get high prices
mainly. Have you found anyone who
is willing to sell anything below the
prices others are willing to pay for
his products? We haven't. Milk, but
ter and eggs for example, have taken
a big jump lately, and the reason is
that the supply is short of the demand
and the prices are therefore being bid
up. Coal prices have been fixed by
the government, but the trouble is
that even if the consumers have the
price the coal people haven't the coal
and can't get it. If dealers charge
more than the lawful price they are
subject to heavy hne-but that fact
will not create a coal supply where
none exists nor will it keep any of us
warm this winter. 1t is a very risky
thing to interfere with priees-at least
unless you are ready to take charge
of the entire subject and regulate the
prices of everything everywhere. A:
we have said before this, high price:
have a beneficial effect in one way
because they teach the people to b.
economical and to stop waste. Shoes
are now so high in price that every
body Is forced IA save as much q!
possible on shoe leather, and in this
way the supply viii be conserved
Many housewives used to throw theiI
bread into the garbage can after il
was a day old, but now this bread i;
being eaten. The high prices Of
bread and -four have forced more re.
form on the bread question that coulc
have been brought about by good adj
vice in a century. People are still
wasting gasoline because the price is
still low. 1t would really be better fol
all concerned if gasoline prices had
been kept at a higher level, SO as tc
discourage joy riding and save the
supply for the more legitimate pur-
poses. High prices are natures rem.
edy for waste. Like many other rem
edies, they are not pleasant-but until
absolute government control is adop-
ted they will be the best cure in sight

RED HOT
RED CROSS ITEMS

The Red Cross is sending more thar
100000 worth of Red Cross supplies
to Europe each month.
Is sending 700 tons of food to France
each week for refugees.
Is providing $4,000 for relief work
in Rumania, and the same amount for
relief work in Italy.
Is maintaining two hospital shipsfor
the U. S. Navy.
Is operating a motor transfer sery-
ice in France, thus reducing the strain
on the weakened railroads of France.
It has raised and equipped fifty base
hospitals, Is of which are already on

FATE OF THE

stuucheS u
fairs in this country are just now
closely watching the effects Of the
new government policy of food control
Wrapped up in this policy is the prob
able total abolition of the practice OF
dealing in futures as applied to food
stuffs.
1t has been the practice of Ameri-
cans to unreservedly condemn this praC
tice, and to, in fact, condemn the en-
tire transactions of the great exchan-
ges and boards Of trade. However, in
the operation Of these institutions
There has always been a work done
that no other agency seemed able to
handle. The legitimate grain exchan-
ges performed a very needed task in
equalizing the distribution of the food
supply, and could not be dispensed
with. This is seer in the decision of
the government to take over this task
which is now in the hands of Mr.. Hoo
yer.
Now the country is watching to see
the effect of the abolition of the pure
ly speculative activities of exchang-
es known as futures" This practice
has been for the time being d~iscontin-
ued. Its effect will be carefully noted
and the future policy of the country
will without doubt be shaped accord
ingly. If the abolition of the practice
proves beneficial to the country in war
times, it will most a~ssuredly be re-
tanned in peace. War has already
taught us many lessons that r being
put into practice and which we will
never forget. The fact that the food
of a nation may be effectively distrib-
uted without the element of specula-
ton may be another lesson that we
shall learn. If this shall be the result
then the occupation Of this species Of
gambler will be gone, and the country
viii take q long breath of relief,
It will also be interesting to note
how many Of the functions of trade
will remain in government hands af-
ter peace comes. We have already
veered largely to socialistic views Of
life, and still more radical changes
may be in prospect. Conservative
views of long standing have beer
abandoned and more radical measures
adopted. For years we have been tolC
that we were asleep on the job in ma
ny respects. Now the awakening has
come and no meaures seem too daring
to be tried out. Without doubt many
of these will be found m~eritorious, and
if so, the innate fairness Of the Amer
lean people will demand their reten.
ton in our scheme Of economy.

0oe million mufners.

Qne million muflers.
One million sleeveless sweaters.
One million pairs of mits.
Besides socks! socks! socks!
Every woman, everywhere, is asked
to knit. Knit anywhere! In Canada
the trains are full of women knitting.
Do we not love our soldiers as well as
they do theirs? And are we not will
ling to help those women who have
been knitting and sacrificing for four
long years? Then knit! The ques-
ton has been asked why are the wo-
men asked to knit when factories
can turn out socks so much faster ? !"
There are several good and sufficient
reasons. One is that the Red Cross
needs every cent paid in to it to pur-
chase supplies that cannot be hand
ma -ana the hge t5st -;
nh out into knittiTgS just 3fHe2IA
gift, Whereas, if the Red Cross were
to take the money to buy factory
made Isocks it would have to pay the
factory a good round sun for their
work. Another reason is that the
homelknit socks outwear the factory
made mes. 1t is said the home-knit
ones last for months, while the faeto-
ny made ones last weeks. Of course
the government is having to buy the
factory-made socks, and if the Red
Cross can solicit work from its loyal
members, let the good work go on.
MANY a mickle makes a muckle."
Major Murphy, at the head of the
Red Cross Commission in France, ca
bles, and a copy of his letter has been
ser.t to the Brownsville Red Cross, as
follows: "Begin shipping at once
Last winter broke the record for cold
and misery among the people here.
They inexpressibly dread lest the COM
ing winter find us without supplies to
meet the situation. | urge you on be-
half of our soldiers and those of our
allies who will suffer in the frozen
trenches"
Brownsville is asked to knit as many
socks as possible. Three hundred
sweaters are allotted to this county.
The women have knit only sixteen so
far. Is there any time to fool away on
useless frivolities? Wake up, women!
Go to the Red Cross rooms and begin
work. Knitting is only one part of
the job. Below we give account of a
shipment just made by the faithful
women who have have been going to
headquarters sewing all this long, hard
summer. How gladly they will well
come you to headquarters now to help
on the new sewing they have already
begunl

shipped to headquarters:
One box surgical dressings, contain

If another communication is sent 1t
is expected to make more clear the
position of the President. as it is felt
that as result of comment abroad
and in the United States and the de-
bate in the Senate more or less con-
fusion has arisen as to just what he
intended.
President Wilson's chief hope in the
ultimate success of the negotiations
is known to lie in his suggestion that
a means be found for maintaining
peace in the future. If an agreement
on that point can be reached. the
President is said to feel it would con-
stitute the guarantees for the future"
demanded by the entente allies and 1t
might be possible then to return toward
settlement of the present conflict

that the President has no present in
tention of asking Colonel f. M House

about his visit here and before coming
arranged engagements which kept him
busy until the time of his departure
