How Prices Go Up.

An incident which is being told In
the wool trade may, perhaps, shed
some light on the way in which prices
increase when the fundamental value
remains virtually unchanged 1t may
also illustrate how something akin to
camoufage is utilized by businessmen
to deceive even themselves into be-
Heving there is shortage. One deal
er sold a consignment Of wool at 81
cents a pound, and twas resold sever
al times, each dealer making 10 cents
pound profit. In the course of time,
the merchant first referred to heard
that certain firm had an allotment Of
wool for sale and asked the price. On
being told that the present owners had.
purchased at 81 pound, and were
willing to sell at SIPS, the inquirer
said, "All right, I'll take it and send
you a check. Where is the wool?" The
answer came: ION the third floor of
your own storage warehouse, where it
has been ever since you sold it orig
inally. Christian Science Monitor.

volume of official recipes Is about a
dozen years old. II has been collected
from many sources by many wise men
adorned with uniforms and backed
by general orders; but its choicest
and best originated In the instructive
inimitable methods of Aunt Diana,
who concocted her champion waffies
by "jes' tastin'."
Credit to Old Sergeant.
In fact, large majority of the good
and fine points in Uncle Sans daily
menu for his Sammies is due to an old
commissary sergeant of Fort Riley.
His name was Dunno, and he was one
of those "born to the griddle," who
has the same advantage over the ordl-
nary aspirant to kitchen honors that
Kubelik had from birth over the little
girl next door.
He was not man of education In
the ordinary acceptance of the word
but he was a first-class army cook.
On scraps Of wrapping paper or old
bills he kept copy of every recipe he
had ever tried. These were edited by
Colonel Holbrook, then In command at
Fort Riley. and published in little
book called methods of Handling
Army Rations," which has developed
into the Manual for Army Cooks" the
textbook in the army schools for cooks
and bakers started in 1900 by Com
Gen. Sharpe, now quartermaster gen.
eral. And perusal Of its contents,
after sampling the results Of Its coun-
sci, leaves one little sympathy with the
words fitted years ago to the bugler's
regular mess call:
Soupie, soupie soupie.

Stockholm, Sept. 1S--The minister to

Inquiries made at the foreign office
today regarding the statement that

would be discontinued were of general
application and not, as the recent
Swedish communication implied. valid
only so far as communications between
Sweden and Washington were con-
cerned, were met by a reaffirmation OF
the terms of the original Swedish COM
muniCation.
The German minister is understood
to have reserved, explanations regard
ing the telegram sent by the German
minister at Buenos Aires thru the

Count Won Luxburg has been received.

Official Of Bakers Association Objeets
to Minimum Wheat Price.
Chicago, Sept. 1S.-S. F.. Mcdonald
president Of the National Association
Of Master Bakers, in addressing the
convention Of the organization today,
said: -
"As an artificial stimulant to wheat
production, congress proposes to guar
antee a minimum price Of 81 for the
1918 wheat crop. At the came time
congress delegates to the farmer the
right to hoard farm products. These
are conditions tending to build up ex-
cessive bread cost. The farmer, guar
anteed 81 minimum, may quickly
realize that small crop is easier to
handle than g. large one. A high mini
mum without maximum price tends
to defeat the thing which the majority
of the people are anxious to see; name
ly, a reduction in the high price OF
wheat.
with a reasonable maximum price
the farmer would know that he could
not raise short crop and hoard for an
abnormal price, but would know that
II he wanted lot OF money he would
have to raise lot Of wheat to get 1t.
