Don't Stock Up Largely.

The manager of a we'll known Maine
wholesale house has this to say:
II wish the Kennebec Journal would
call to the public mind, in terms that
cannot be misunderstood, the crime OF
buying supplies far in advance OF
need. / wish the Journal could i'm
press upon the minds Of those who are
able to buy six months or years
supply ahead Of their needs, that to do
80 at such a time as this is un-
patriotic; that 1t but increases the de-
mand by shortening supply and adds
to the hardships Of the masses who
live from hand to mouth.
II can think of no more fitting word
than "unpatriotic" to characterize this
act of the well-to-do in stocking up
largely and adding to the already over
whelming burdens of the poor. Please
hammer this home to 'em and you will
be doing Gods service"
It seems to US that these words OF a
man in position to know something
about who is buying beyond reason
able present day needs, carry strength
enough to impress the point. Perhaps
many thrifty people had never thought
Of it In that light.

in hours Of service, physical energy and
exhaustion Of equipment for the return
of bare existence, except in pitifully
small percentage. He can do no more
in number Of hours or physical exer-
ton. His boys are leaving for the cit
les and villages, and as large a per-
centage are eniisting as are enlisting
from the mills, shops and offices.
II the nation raises more food the
problem must be dealt with by the
ablest minds, and by measures as
prompt and effective as have been
adopted In raising the army and navy
and providing funds for war.
The farmer can do no more. He can
not be whipped into 20 hours day in
place Of the Is now quite general every
where. The food gardens" are ad-
mirable SO far as they go principally
for the seedsmer and fertilizer makers)
but the hundreds, Of millions of dollars
possibly thus saved will be but grain
Of sand in the hour-glass.
The FARMS of the country must be
modified and the enlistment in farm
service recognized as patriotic as wear
ing Uncle Sans uniform.
And then, after all these considera-
tons, the government should first con-
slider conservation of the food it is urg-
ing the farmers to raise. Let US ask
the government, as starter, if, after
the farmers have largely increased
their products, millions Of bushels Of
food grains are to be turned over to
distiIers and brewers to be worse
than thrown away in booze making.
Before the farmers of the country in
crease their working time to IS hours
day, let us know If the government is
going to keep right on in the rum bust
ness and the feeding of the habit-form-
ing liquid bread, instead of saving
the grain for the hungry.
Now is the time, when the govern
ment itself can raise a crop of food
grain greater than that produced by
any state in the Union.
And in the same season the same
great power now lodged in the Chief
Executive could, by the same process,
raise the efficiency of the nation 25 per
cent.
While the government is demanding
greater efforts to increase and con-
serve the nations food supply, let the
government itself get into the game of
conserving not only the food supply
but the human energy supply and the
sum total of intelligence and useful
ness.
AS an assurance of good faith to the
producers Of food in the country,
let the President, as his first war
measure, declare an embargo on all
food grains going into the manufac-
ture of whiskey and beer during the
wars duration-and, please God, ever
after!

says the New York Board
of Health. The potato is
seventy-fve per cent. water
and the rest is mostly starch.

in combination with proteid
foods-but not worth eight
cents apound. Cutoutmeat,
eggs and high-priced vege-

AS will be seen by the review in this
issue of The Argus, the Maine Legisia-
ture which adjourned early yesterday has
had very busy session. during which
considerable important legislation was en-
acted. We are pleased to say that. while
some laid themselves open to censure, the
members as a whole displayed a disin-
terested spirit In their speeches and ac-
ton on those matters of public import
ance that came before them. We have
taken occasion to speak in appreciation of
Representative Percival P. Baxter for his
gallant and successful fight for the con-
serVation of Names greatest industrial
asset This useful citizen OF Portland
has placed himself on public record in a
way that will forever rebound to his
credit. He is surely entitled to the last
ing gratitude of the people of both his
native city and State.-Portland Argus.
And in addition to all the Argus says,
Mr.. Baxter is a dignified and courte-
Gus gentleman who makes many
friends and no enemies. Let us hope
Portland will continue to send such
men as represented her in the Legis-
lature just adjourned.
