HOOVER TO CURB PRoFITEERs

he time has come for a break in in
flated food prices, according to Herbert
Hoover, who says that beef and flour are
being sold to the consumer at prices much
higher than existing conditions justify.
AT present the food administration only
has power to control retailers doing an an
nual business in excess of 100000 year,
or about / 200 out of the more than $50 900
food retailers in the country. but Mr.
Hoover expects to control all who are I'm
ruly through the power of public opinion
He will publish each week official informa-
ton as to wholesale prices in the various
sections of the country, together with the
legitimate profit of the retailer and will let
the public determine whether they are be-
ing gouged. Should this measure not
prove effective he will ask permission to
regulate all dealers in food, large and small
The tendency to initiate prices seems to
prevail IN certain sections and not in others
and it is Mr.. Hoover's desire to use drastic
measures, if necessary. in curbing all
profteers.
The vigor with which the food admins
tration is performing its duties is finding
high favor with the American public and
will be reflected in the ready response
which will be made to the call for conserra-
ton pledges next week.

FRITZ MUST HAVE HIS JOKE

History. is repeating itself A pamphlet
just received from England reproduces
comments made by the German press on
ISngland's Contemplate little army
when Kitchener asked for permission to
raise and equip half million men, Among
other things, the German papers said !:
Germany will be entranced when this half
million advances against us. We will put
some old military man, so decrepit that
he can hardly sit on his horse. in COM
mand OF squadron of semi-invalids and
he will capture all these English and turn
them over to a Barnum to be shown at
fairs as the latest wonder of the world
No joke was too coarse, no humor to
light to be hurled at the English army
back in 1914, when it was forming.
Now that it is a reality and has hit the
German line with telling effect. driving the
Teutons back at every point. the Prusslan
press has ceased to ridicule it. But Fritz
must have his joke, SO the American army
is now the butt of his contemptuous in
vective as the following excerpts show:
''Ren1v anyone who has seen parts of the
regular army of the Americans. and knows
something of the modern history of these
braves, is reminded of Falstaffs Guards
. x * Hindenburg will make short
work of the recruits and volunteers from
the other side of the Great Pond should
there be time enough to enable them to
be trained Conscientious and cautious
study of the enemy's strength enables us to
say that we need not r-estlmate the
American danger" says the Leipziger
Neutse Nachrichten A ''briliant' public
ist, in the Kreuzzeitung gives forth this,
'T'he participation of America in the war
is, notwithstanding all their fraudulent
braggadocio, more bluff than reality, and
will probably continue to be so for the
present. and the Kladderadatsch adds its
bit as follows: "The New Workers rush to
take cover when they hear the practice
guns of the shore batteries How will they
behave when the real thing comes?"
Meanwhile America is going ahead with
her plans, forming and training a great
army, making aircraft and artillery, get
ting all in readiness for drive that will
prove most conclusively to Germany that
our part in the war is real, serious bust
ness, Just as Frances and England's and
ltaly's is. When that time comes the Ger
man people will awaken to the fact that
their humorists have deceived them and
they will also awaken to the fact that ''the
Falstaf's Guards of America have freed
them from the oppression of autocracv and
has made it possible for a democratic Ger
many to again enter the council of nations
and be accepted as one of the honest coun-
tries Of the world. So in the end the Joke
will be turned against the German humor-
lists and their masters-the Prussian war
lords.

was encouraged by reports that south

sibility of bringing cotton here for de-
livery on December contracts.
1t was said that cotton could be bought
in the South at price which would
permit deliveries on December, at a

room available for cotton here.

Silver Price to Be Fixed Soon

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.--The Govern
ment is about to extend price fixing TO
silver. This was virtually agreed upon
at a conference today between Director
OF the Mint Ray T. Baker, Governor
Boyle. of Nevada. and Senator Pittman,
of Nevada. the two latter representing
silver producers. The plan under con-
siderstion contemplates control of pro-
duction and distribution Of metal through
pooling of all stocks. Producers will be
assured a reasonable profit by the Gov
ernmept. This step is necessary, 1t is
agreed. through the fact that silver
prices have jumped 60 per cent since the

Excellent buying by commission
houses and covering by shorts kept the
corn market firm today, after It had
displayed an easier tendency In the ini-
tial dealings. At the outset prices were
affected by moderate selling by local
interests, due to a favorable weather and
expectations Of larger receipts
It was made plain quickly. however.
that the demand was more than suffi-
cient to take care of the offerings and
losses were soon recovered Subsequent
efforts on the part of the bears to force
a break were not successful.
Strength in oats and an absence Of
scalping operations. because of the war
tax. were the factors that favored the
bulls, as they served TO curb bearish sem
timent. The cash article was lower but
this had little influence on the futures
as the premiums of the actual grain are
still high.
The visible supply,in the United States
Is 100000 bushels, against 2,677, 900
bushels last year

Saturdays Anal price
Oats were strong on good general buy
ing by commission houses, induced by
strength in the cash situation. There
was an absence of selling pressure. A
factor was a revival in the demand for
exports here and elsewhere and also for
the account of eastern interests. Sales
of about 100000 bushels were reported
for shipment abroad, The volume of
business was moderate.
The visible supply in the United States
is ls.596,000 bushels, against 47,438. 900
