Price Uncertainty
The uncertainty of the
market is such that we
are at q loss to know just
What to say about buying
in large quantities. We
are buying just as little as
possible until we see the
positive trend of the
market. T.
We think prices are 60
ins>to be more steady and
possibly slightly higher
for a long time but we are
waiting to see just what
the price fixing board at
Washington is going to
do.
The government is now
making an estimate, which
is nearly equivalent to an
inventory, of the food in
the country, including
amount of butter, number
of eggs and pounds meat
and poultry in cold stor- .
age. The amount of sug-
ar, -four, canned goods
and all food products in .
warehouses and on the
farms and in the stores.
When this is completed we
think prices will be ad-
justed and more steady
for months.
If the farmers succeed
in opening up the fight
again on the price of
wheat we think -four will
advance. If the war tax
goes on sugar, coffee and )
tea all these will advance
in price.
We would advise buy
ing what is needed i in
rood sized quantities but
Go not advise boarding.
BY next week we hope
to know conditions more
definitely and if so will
then advise what appears
to us to be best but we
are not going to speculate
on our stockholders money
and buy too much on un-
certainties.

Railways Doing Their BIZ.

The news bulletin issued by the
lean Railway Association. gives fig
ures showing that to date the rail-
roads Of this country have safely
transported approximately 100000
soldiers to training camps and points
OF embarkation since the first day Of
August A letter from an officer of
the first Maine Regiment of Artillery
writes home from Charlotte that at
one point III Virginia on their trip
south inquiry was made for the other
section of the train bearing the troops
of their regiment. The reply Of the
station officials was that they could
not tell how long since the other Sec
ton went through, because eleven long
passed through that station that
morning. and they had information by
wire that others We're coming.
These facts are significant at this
time-the large number of men with
all their equipment moved in some in
stances half across the country in
single journey. Perhaps 100000 of
these men having made Journeys ne
cessitating overnight travel. and yet,
with hardly single accident reported
as a result Of carelessness or mishaps
on the part of railway officials, labor
OF equipment. In most cases these
troops have moved in tourist or stand
ard sleepers, and on one of these long
hauls. 5000 men were moved from
training camp on the western coast 10
a point on the eastern coase. a distance
Of 300 miles in a little less than
week The men travelled in 1G sec
tions, each section comprising u tour
list cars and two baggage cars.
Considering these things, is it a
matter of surprise that transportation
of produce and fuel has become
serious problem for the government
and the people? To us it seems to be
one Of the sacrifices necessary to our
entry to the war. Our troops are of
first importance. and their safety in
preparation for actual hostilities Of
first consideration. Thus we should
give credit to the railroads of this
country for great and highly import
ant part in the prosecution of the war.
. A single order Of railway management
is illustrative: To assure the safety Of
men in transit the railroads have
adopted an average speed of 25 miles
an hour for all troop trans. and as a
result of cooperation between the
government and railroads half a mil
lion soldiers have been spared the dis
comfort of making long train trips in
Gay coaches.

An Event in Religious journalism.

\ noticeable event in the field of
combination of The ConSregationalist
and the Advance into one journal, to be
known hereafter as The Congrega-
tionalist and Advance The merger
went into effect with the Thanksgiving
issue, bearing the date of Nov %.
The Corgregationalist. as the con-
tinuator of the Recorder founded by
Nathaniel Willis. father of y. p. Will
lis. the poet. in 1916. is the oldest re-
ligious newspaper in the country, hay
ing been the first to engraft the re-
liglous idea upon Il secular periodical.
II has always been published in Bos-
ton. though its circulation has been
nation ide.
The Advance has been published in
Chicago ever since it was first started
there under the editorship OF the late
William w. Patten, D. d. For the last
four Vars Rev. William f. Barton. d.
d., pastor OF the First Congregational
in chief. II. like The Congrcgationai-
ist has gone weekly into all the states
OF the Union.
The Advance has always been
privately owned, while The Congrega-
tionalist since 1901 has been the prop
erty of the Consroe ational Publishing
SOCIETY, which has administered it in
. behalf of the denomination
The combination is due to the con-
viction that one strong comprehensive
paper can serve the six thousand Con-
greeational churches Of the land more
satisfactorily under present conditions
| than two papers could serve them.
! No theological differences Of conse-
Quence as in former years now divide
these churches. The sectional spirit
has given way in large measure to the
, national point OF view. Moreover, the
! whole tendency within CONGREGATIONAL
ism during the past years has been
, toward unification and the better CO
ordination of all its working agencies
The denomination is in the midst of
. Tercentenary Campaign. which looks
toward a large expansion of church life
before the coming of the three hum
dredth anniversary of the landing Of
the Pilgrims, to be celebrated the world
over in 1920, and in WHICH Congrega
! tionaIists. by virtue of their descent
, from the Pilgrims, are to have lead
! ing part. 1t is all the more suitable,
therefore, that plans for that great
occasion should be unified and pushed
! through the influence of one paper.
| In the current issue of The Conere-
! gationaist and Advance denomina-
| tional leaders East and West hail with
rejoicing the step that has been taken.

! representative pal per.
The merger is in line with the gen
eral trend of American religious jour
nalism as shown by the recent combi-
nation OF the Waterman of Boston and
