heard that the cost Of living had advanced and promptly
marked up their prices in harmony with the other good
fellows the poor families along the fronts were in
despair.
But it happened that city Los Angeles, among the
big settlements along oceans, had a set OF officials
who acted in haste hold prices OF foods TO normal
basis Los Angeles is much like Oklahoma City in that
there is large number OF extremely poor people But
that California city has large army of men who receive
moderate wages and to whom the advances in food prices
is critical II was to aid these that the mayor and his
licu,cnantS proceeded TO establish municipal fish market
The market has been Fish shipped IN
by the ton and sold at prices ranging from to 10 cents
pound This schedule was in startling contrast to the
dealers in fish.
Just how far this municipal market idea will spread no

Pardee for the most excellent dinner
and splendid service
We are rather prone to allow our
enthusiasm in these early meetings to
lead us to believe that great things can
be accomplished in an unreasonably
short time, This is not true, however,
and when our ardor begins TO cool is the
time when the greater efforts should be
eXerted TO accomplish those improve
ments which We now propose The only
good booster is the one who never gets
too tired to boost.

SAYS FOOD SITUATION
CALLS FOR CALM ACTION

"There is nothing in the food situa-
tion Of the country which justifes hys-
terical thinking or action, says Secre-
tary of Agriculture Huston. "This is
not time for hysteria. Nor is this
time for the thought of the Ameri-
can people to be directed or dominated
by those who have interests Of another
country primarily at heart Or any sell
fish interest to further.
"The prices of food stuffs are high.
A full and satisfactory explanation of
prevailing prices is not possible on the
basis of existing knowledge. 1t is
only recently that agencies have been
created in the country to study food
distribution and we have not all the
necessary facts to enable us to arrive
at the truth When the food supply
is located, who owns It, what may be
the difficulties of securing it, whether
the local market conditions are due tO
car shortage, whether there is artificial
manipulation or control, no one car
state with certainty. It is essentia
that we have the facts not only be-
cause of the light they might throw
on present conditions but also because
they are prerequisite for the working
out of permanent, just, and econom
ical system Of marketing. Therefor
the investigation directed by the presi
dent ought to be made promptly, an
congress ought to give the Fedora
Trade Commission and the Depart
ment Of Agriculture the necessar
funds. Certainly such an investigs
.. tion can not furnish immediate relie1
but it would be absurd to oppose it 70
this reason. For partial immediat
relief, every individual and commur
ity should consider earnestly the mat
ter Of food conservation and the linn
tation of waste"
