and other leaders assert that peace Is
not in sight because no terms have
been suggested that all can accept,

by captured German officers, that the

The success of the second Liberty
loan is a source of immense gratifica-
ton to the government and to the en-
tire nation. During the last week SUBJ
scriptiOnS came in with rush, under
the urging of thousands of patriotic
workers, and even the Philippines,
Panama and Cuba responded nobly.
Wednesday, by national and state proc
lamation, was celebrated everywhere
as Liberty day. Great parades were
held in every city and smaller ones in
every town and village, and in the
army training camps the boys carried
out special programs and handed in
their dollars for the cause of freedom.
In some places the people dealt in
their own way with certain pro-Ger-
man obstructers of the loan, but moth
ing was done to Mayor Bill Thompson
Of Chicago, who took no part what
ever in the city's demonstration. His
recent half-hearted conversion to open
patriotism seems to have suffered re-
lapse.

Food Regulation In America.
The food administration last week
began the daily publication OF whole
sale prices of prime commodities so
that the housewives might know what
the retailer should ask. But the con-
sumers speedily found out they could
not buy at the suggested reasonable
prices. The retailer said the whole
saler was to blame in that he was not
coming down to the figures set by Mr..
Hoover and his aids. The licensing of
wholesalers goes into effect on Novem-
her l. however, and thereafter 1t will
be easy to bring the balky ones to
terms. The National Association Of
Wholesale Grocers met in Chicago and
pledged itself to the support Of the ad-
ministration regardless Of diminishing
profits. so the outlook for the consumer
is bright.
Throughout the country generally
there is evidenced desire to conform
to the regulation for one wheatless and
one meatless day each week. The no
tells and restaurants are being watched
by the agents OF the food administra-
ton, but obedience to the rule In the
home must depend on the patriotism OF
the individual.

NEW HAMPsH1RE's GOOD ROADS.

New Hampshire last Saturday cele-
brated Dood Roads day and it is no won
der the Granite state takes pride in the
development of her roads. Governor
Kcyes in his proclamation called I'M
proved highways not costly Injuries but
economic necessities. The prosperity,
public spirit and enterprise of com
munity are evidenced correctly by the
condition of the roads. The case could
hardly Ice put more concisely. Good
roads are a state best asset. In 1905
New Hampshire built only - miles Of
state aid road and five miles of truck
lines. The next year the present road
expansion movement began and the state
built 30 miles of state aid road and %
miles of trunk line. Last year there
was constructed IS miles of state aid
road and 81 miles of trunk line, in spite
of the war conditions, and the average
construction of new roads during the
/ last 10 years has been 81 miles a year
Of state aid and - miles of trunk line.

As a fitting background there was drawn
