lAPoLIs. Md SATURDAY. OCTOBER I3. 1917.

The belief that all allied countries
have entered into an agreement to
control ocean rates is based on the
recent statement of an official of the
Shipping Board that ii would be use
less for the United States TO force
steamers Of American registry TO re
duce their rates unless ships of other
countries were forced to do likewise.
This official reasoned that the retail
ers in Latin America, for instance,
would fix the prices on the high rate
rather than the lower rate

"Abuse of President and Praise OF

Dubuque, Ia, April BE. R.
Moore, United States marshal for
the northern district of Iowa said
today he is receiving scores Of let
tiers every day from all parts of the
district, the letters containing
names of persons who made them
selves obnoxious with their talk be-
fore the declaration of war and who
have been in any way offensive since
that time. He already has several
hundred such names and expects to
have several hundred more before
the end of the present week.
1T is not going to be such an easy
matter for friends of our enemy as
they think it is" said Mr.. Moore.

THE PRICE RAISING HABIT.
Someone Evidently is Making Lot
of Money.

A provision dealer speaking few
uation, gave some illustrations.
Among them was the case of lettuce.
A small bunch for which he said a
year or two ago he would be getting
five cents now is selling for II cents
! The retailer was getting no more
profit than he did formerly.
So far as he could see, it was not
costing the grower of that lettuce
any more to raise it than it did, save
perhaps small fraction more for
coal. Possibly he had had to advance
mis- labor costs a little. But the total
advance could only be small pro-
portion of the advance in price. He
simply had been smart enough to see
that higher prices can be had on ev-
erything. Some one is making a lot
of money.
1t used to be thought that condi-
lions like these are cured by the in
eXorable laws of supply and demand.
If prices keep up, a lot more people
are going to be drawn into the truck
raising business But it takes a lot
of time for new equipment to be ere
ated, farm land to be made profit
able, help to be trained. Meanwhile
suffering and privation is caused,
while producers and dealers tack on
fancy figures.
These money makers should keep
in mind the Old fable about killing
the goose that lays the golden eggs.
If exorbitant prices are asked, there
will be drastic state and government
regulations of prices. Also there
will be such rush of people into the
food producing business that it will
become Improbable.
OF course the farmer has his side
of the controversy. For years he
was ground between the upper and
neither milestone, and only until re-
Gently could he get profitable prices.
That is another story to be consider
ed later. But let him beware of ask
ing prices that will over stimulate
competition.

WHY ENLIST?

'Why should / give up good jot
in the country and go to war for 90
cents a day."
The above Illuminating remark
was overheard in railroad train
the other day. Apparently the fellow
was not worrying so much about the
hazards of war. One would infer
that if the government would pay
him something more than the $3.50
per that he might be earning out in
the fields, he would see the thing in
a quite different light. Perhaps he
would recognize that that is just
about what his neck is worth.
In contrast to this one sees the
flower of our youth il colleges and
schools ssuming cheerfully the ha-
yards of battle. 1t is the pathetic
side of war, that while sluggards
and slackers would stop bullet just
as we'll as anyone, it has to be the
men OF initiative and courage and de-
cision who are subjected to this fu-
tile waste.
There are some men so constitut-
ed that they do not feel under obliga-
ton to their country. The pay en-
velope is their flag. If an enemy
country offered them better wages,
they would cheerfully go there-if
they could get there without harm
to their precious skins.
Such men may have great hulking
bodies, but the soul seems left out.
OF course people of this kind bring
their own peculiar punishment on
themselves. They are psychological
ly constituted without the sentiment
of loyalty. They may have animal
strength and are able to dig bitches
or hoe crops. They will not starve
as long as their hunger drives them
into the corn field. But this lack OF
loyalty will not show itself merely
in Sinking their duty to their coun-
try. 1t will also be apparent in
their relations with their employers
and their home community. A disloy.
al worker is of little use in any
gang. If hard times come, they may
wish they had taken Uncle Sans
meager so cents a day and the board
and clothes that go with it.
