Kansas City, NloJ Journal: The news

commiseration. They do join him in
deploring in general terms any and all
ebuliitions Of lynch law and mob vio-

of the land and in spirit to the theories
Of popular government, freedom of

THE action Of an exasperated and

have been clear TO constituted authority,
however, that unless it found a way TO

sedition the time soon would come wher
patriots would DO Just what those at
Cincinnati did to Mr.. Bigelow.

Another time-honored graft mas been
swept away by the war broom. The
government has put the Elgin Butter
Board out of business. a quiet little
order issued by the food admins
tration has accomplished a reform that
has hitherto proved too much Tor leg
islaturos and courts.
1t shouldn't ever have been a diff
cult task, anybody would think. The
New York World gravely remarks that
there never was any Elgin Butter
Board. 1t was a monumental bluff.
But it worked.
4 few Chicago men operating in its
name have long fixed butter prices for
the whole country They would de-
eide how much 100000 600 people ought
to pay for butter the following week.
then take a train out to Elgin, file into
a little office, file out again and put
some figures on the wire. And every
dealer in America set his prices accord
inFly.
Those figures purported to be reports
of bona fide butter sales. Perhaps
there really We're "A few tubs of butter
standing around the place for window
dressing But those men represented
a speculative and oppressive monopoly
which yielded mysterious power and
successfully defied the law.
Now the board is no more. And
word goes around that dealers are lost"
without its guiding figures to tell them
what to sell their butter for.
Here's n suggestion. Suppose they
base their prices on what they paid for
their butter.

The full moon rose above the spires and

No lovers in its beauty laughed and
met.
But hurrying crowds rushed by in all

Death dropped upon the city, murder

Downright upon its peoples,-and a sea
OF crimson horror broke where late

This was no city OF our own?''-Not

The lesson IS writ large lest we forget:

BELGIAN POPULATION DYING.

London, Nov. THE desperate con-

gium and northern France being re-

in restoring them to normal health is
graphically described in a report to

ORR CANDY HABIT

a Washington expert says that last
year we spent for candy two-thirds as
much as we spent for butter, two
thirds as much as we spent for our
whole bakery product and more than
we spent for canned and preserved
fruits and vegetables. We consumed
about ,2O0,OOO,OOO pounds of it, con-
tanning nearly twice as much sugar as
Italy uses for all purposes together.
And candy's only one Of the many
forms i'm which we eat sugar. Really,
we can cut down little without hurt
ing ourselves.

ALLENTOWN, Pa, PLANS
" FOR GARDENING PLOTS.
High Cost Of Living Has Given Impetus
to Farming Vacant Lots.

The high cost Of living has given a
tremendous impetus to vacant lot gar
dening in Allentown, Pa, and it is
safe to say that nearly every foot Of
ground that is tillable will be used in
an effort to raise potatoes, green's and
other vegetables, especially cabbages
and onions.
The movement is organized under
the auspices of the Vacant Lot Farm
ers' association, which will assign ter.
rttory to the members and other appli-
cants. The real estate dealers and
other big owners of lots have turned
over all their vacant territory to the
association, several hundred acres in
all, enough to raise 10000 bushels Of
potatoes and other things in proper
ton.
The association has engaged plowmen
to pillow and harrow the ground as soon
as weather permits. For this fee Of
81 is charged for each lot, with re-
fund If the cost be less. Last year the
refund was 50 cents.
Vacant lot farming has been prac.
ticed in Allentown with considerable
success the past two or three years.
