In Russia the political situation is becoming frmer
and the diverse elements in the government have finally
agreed upon three cardinal points, the first of which is
unity Of the Entente front Wouldn't it be grim jest
of destiny If the withdrawal of the German divisions
from the east front in order to stop the English and the
French on the west front should turn out to have been
the browning blunder in long series of bad German
guesses to what the world the outside of the Iron
Ring would do?

North Dakota. Nebraska, Iowa. Kan
sas. Mississippi and Colorado are in
cluded for this camp.
All applications must be made be-

CANNING SEASON


Goods in tins are going TO be
scarce and costly, say grocery deal
ers. People wanting canned goods
must pay for them. and accept what
they get. The government Is dis
couraging the use of tins for canning
such products and vegetables as can
be kept dried, because of the cost of
the tins. Coffees are now coming
more in cartons because the tins of
this dinner beverage are making it
cost ~ TO 3 cents more a pound.
The season of southern strawber-
ries is over, and that of the north
ern product is lot quite ready for
market. The cost will probably be
higher for the housewife who has
neglected to preserve what she wants
of this fruit. We are assured that 1t
will not be less.
The pineapple season is now at its
height. There has been a good crop
of this fruit, and except for the add
ed costs of water and rail Transports
ton, the cost is no more than it has
been in other years.
Sugar is higher in price than it
has been heretofore. 1t is said that
this item alone will have very little
TO do with the amount of home can
ming done. For the housewife who
will have just so much canned goods
anyway, whether she purchases it i'm
tins or preserves it herself. will un-
doubtedly do more in her W kitch-
en- this year. The reason is that.
though sugar is higher, the cost Of
timed goods will be very much high
err, due both to the greater cost of
tins as well as of the sugar used.
This being the opening of summer.
one would expect lemons to begin to
rise in price. At this time this in
gredient of summer drinks is not
higher than at the same time last
year. The same applies TO the almost
staple fruits. oranges and bananas.
Reports indicate that there will be
a good crop of both peaches and
small berries this year. Except for
the possible difficulties of transpor-
tation there is now no indication that
the prices will so much exceed those
of other years. Men acquainted with
food conditions and prices say that
the greater cost of nearly all fruits
will be more only from the items OF
tins and possible difficulties of trans
portation.

Hoover promised that the food ad-
ministration, when organized, would
force prices to a level at which the
small wage Garner can exist. Labor
representatives told Mr.. Hoover that
unless costs fall the Garner of mod
crate wages must get an increase in
pay or go hungry.
Tomorrow officials of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor and heads
of the big unions will send thousands
of letters to local unions throughout
the country directing members of
trade unions to urge on their con
gressmen passage of the food bills
before July /.
Some of the labor leaders express
ed anxiety as to whether the food
bills are drastic enough to accom-
plish their purpose, but Mr.. Hoover
assured them that the measures pro
vide power enough to reduce prices.
He asked that labor remain patient
until the bills are passed and the
food administration is organized.
Figures were quoted at the confer
ence to show abnormal profits taken
by middlemen. The statement was
made that, while flour is selling

50 and still give a good profit to
dealers.

NOT RAISE RATES
RAISE AFFECTING SOUTH DA-
KOTA NOT GRANTED-NOT
DISCRIMINATE.

Sioux City, June 15.-Traffic
heads of western railroads gave as
surances at the rate hearing of the
interstate commerce commission in
Washington, ID. c., on the Is per cent
advance asked by carriers, that they
would not ask for a boost in rates
between Sioux City and Nebraska
points, according to c.. +. Childe,
traffic commissioner of the CONNER
cial club. who has returned from the
hearing.
The rates. which now apply be
tween Sioux City and Nebraska
points as we'll as Kansas City and
Nebraska towns, We're only recently
granted by the commission and the
railroads do not care to disturb
them. The interstate rates now in
effect are on parity with interstate
rates in Nebraska.
Mr.. Childe gave testimony in the
hearing, and asked the commission
in case il granted the railroads the
Is per cent advance to also make a
similar advance in South Dakota in
t~rastate rates. Mr.. Childe pointed
out that if the interstate rates were
advanced and the interstate rates
were left as they now are it would
work an unjust discrimination on
Sioux City jobbers. who do so per
cent of their business in South Da-
kota, and would offer South Dakota
jobbers a big advantage over Sioux
City shippers.
Mr.. Childe refused to make a pre-
diction as to the outcome of the case.
All railroads have asked the inter
state commission for an advance OF
Is per cent on practically all rates.
