Uncle Josh was comfortably light
ing his pipe in the living room one
evening when Aunt Maria glanced up
from her knitting.
"John," she remarked, "do you know
that next Sunday will be the twenty
fifth anniversary of our wedding ?"
"You don't say so, Maria!" respond
ed Uncle Josh, pulling vigorously on
his corn-cob pipe. "What about it ?"
Nothing" answered Aunt Maria,
"only thought maybe we ought to
kill them two Rhode Island Red chick
ems"
"But Maria" demanded Uncle Josh,
show can you blame them two Rhode

Denver labor bulletin., 1917-10-06

Speaking recently at a meeting of
state food commissioners and his per-
sonal staff, Herbert Hoover gave a
striking explanation of the part that
food control plays in war.
He said that European nations went
into the war giving little thought to
the subject of food. Even Germany
with all its preparations had not fore
seen the significance of this factor.
With millions of men taken from pro-
duction, and thousands of square miles
of fertile fields laid waste by armies,
the worlds cupboard quickly began
developing a barenness like that of
Mother Hubbard. Country after coun-
try went to the cupboard to get bone,
and found diminished supply.
This made it necessary to organize
food supply and distribution, and the
various countries tried various meth
ods. They fixed maximum prices, and
minimum prices, regulated the pro-
duction and distributing trades, and
put their people on rations. Those
countries which established the ear
liest and best methods of food control
secured the greatest efficiency in war.
The best system, on the whole, is still
that of Germany, and she has been
able to maintain efficiency with food
supply which in some of her enemy
countries might be most embarrassing.
Russia, with perhaps the greatest pos
sibilities of food production in Europe,
did nothing at all, and out of Russia s
food situation grew her revolution.
Mr.. Hoover said, that whether we
! liked it or not, we must deal with the
food problem of war in one of two
ways. There is not enough food to go
around if we stick to the lavish meth
ods of peace times. Rising prices,
coupled with depreciation of money,
due to issues of war bonds in every
country, which make the purchasing
power of money shrink, compel US to
adjust the food supply to the worlds
appetite, either by controlling that
supply in ways that lead to economy
and make it suffice, or by letting wages
rise as prices rise, to keep pace rough
| ly with fluctuations. Even an ANA
teur economist can see at glance that
| food control is better than wage in
crease, because wage increase is a
crude force operating slowly, unevenly
and with great injustice and suffering
to millions of workers. The wages of
many workers do not rise-the pro
| fessional men, clerical workers, pub
lie employees, and so forth. Russia
tried the experiment OF leItlhs WaseS
adjust themselves to the diminishing
food supply, and it did not work--Rus-
STA was brought to state bordering
on anarchy by the intolerable pressure
of the food situation on the ordinary
peaceful citizen.
Therefore, whether we like it or not
this is a favorite phrase of the food
administrator, and typifies the imper-
sonal attitude he takes toward these
great economic problems-whether. we
like it or not, we must meet the food
situation in one way or the other, and
food control seems to be the lesser OF
two evils.
This viewpoint explains most of the
work thus far done by the United
States food administration. From
August 10, when President Wilson
signed the food law, until today, much
of the work of the food administration
has centered upon the organization OF

OVER THE TOP" AGAIN

With the liberal subscriptions made
at the dinner inaugurating the joint
campaign of the y. NJ. C. A. and Rota'
- Club. there WAS little left for the so
icitirg teams TO do in securing the
quotas assumed. by these organiza-
tons. 1t is not surprising. therefore,
that the campaign was wound up yes
terday with a total Of nearly $4,000
subscribed to the $4,000 for the Y.

THE ELM GROVE RATES

The movement on the part OF the
Residents OF the Out-the-Pikc section
resist the proposed advao"e IN rates
by the City & Elm Grove Railroad
deserves the sympathetic support OF
the public. We are, OF coarse, re-
minded that the Public Service Com
mission is court before which the
fairness OF the proposed new rates
Ia to be tested. l. is not to be as
suNed that that body will allow the
advance in rates unless good reasons
:, for the advance are shown.
40, One point, however. IS notorious.
THAT is. the City & Elm Grove Rail
road was rutnlesSly Quilted BY pro
moters and spectators, wh9 bur
dened it with large charzeS without
uniting an extra dollar Of value into
It:
Should the public be required TO
nav a dividend on these watered Sc
curities?
It goes without saying that pub
-Hc service corporation is entitled to
a fair rate upon its Investment. and
those who receive the benefit OF is
service should either pay that rate or
refuse to use il: but il does not fol-
low that securities dishonesty anu
Improperly issued should be 4 bur
den upon TIE public. and should be
Considered in the adjustment Of public
charges. Doubtless, the attorneys Tor
the citizens in Ghe Out-the-tlkc SEC
ton will vigorously present this view
Of the case.
Whatever the decision made b. the
Public Service Commission l.. 1t Will
be interesting 20 note thc position that
that body takes relati"e 20 securities
that have no Intrinsic Waite back OF
them. but which have. been fastened

NUTRITIOUS PUBLICITY

There has always existed an eager
moss in certain quarters prciudlced
against our foreign trade to dlscredlt
the methods and integrity OF Amerl-
can exporters, and we doubt very
much the wisdom OF the action oil the
National Association Of Hosiery and
Underwear Manufacturers In passing
resolution in which it ''unqualihedlE
condemns as most rcprchcnsible and
calculated to discredit American man
ufacturers in the markets OF the world,
the practice of few manufacturers rs
revealed by irrefutable evidence oil
fo!sling unworthy merchandise on the
markets Of South America. ADMIT
ting that the statement is true, is THIS
public reflection on the faults of few
likely to benefit the American export
trade as a whole? Would it not have
bcen better TO have taken up these
dclinquencles directly with the offend
iuc individuals, regardless of whether
they are the manufacturers or the eX-
port agents, rather than run the risk
OF casting discredit upon IN entire
industry BY public criticism of spe-
cific vet anonymous character?
No condemnation is too severe for
an American firm which knowingly or
carclpssly participates iii a tranSac-
ton which Is bound to reflect upon
an entire industry. The danger Of
promiscuous criticism. however, is
that it will at once be- taken up by
intrrsts more or less hostile 10 Amer.
lean trade, and that its constant rep
ptition cannot help but place the for
eicn merchant in 4 state Of mind prcju
diciai 10 American products. It is an
axiom of foreign trade that The mis-
take Of an individual, whether made
knowingly, through bad advice or in
ignorance, is magEilied: and C0nsG-
uucntly, the departure Of single OK
porter from Tho path Of fair dealing
is played upon as typical Of The YAM
kee shrcwdncSS.
