Federal Food Control.

Immediate creation of a federal food
commission, with power to fix prices
and to supervise marketing and dis
tribution of food in the United States
during the war was proposed formal
ly Tuesday by the National Agricul
tural Society
At an agricultural mobilization"
convention held in Washington the So
ciety adopted resolutions recon-
mending this and other measures to
meet threatened food shortage, in
Guiding increased food crop acreage,
and amendment of wheat milling laws
and liberal encouragement of sheep
raising.
J. Ogden Armour of Chicago, head of
one of the greatest meat packing es-
Establishments in the world, advocates
the fixing by the federal government,
of the wholesale price of all meat
products and a guarantee to the farm
ers of minimum price Of $3.50 a
bushel of all wheat they can produce.
He admits that these are radical
measures but contends that this is an
emergency, that requires radical rem
edies.
We agree with Mr.. Armour and the
food mobilization" promoters. The
country has just had ample demon
80 bo
termination Of food spectators to fat
ten themselves at public expense at
every opportunity, regardless of
emergency. Such sources know no
patriotism: their god is Greed.
Our country needs defensive meas
ures against greed, as badly as it needs
defensive measures against Prussian-
ism. Federal control can decrease
the cost of production and lower the
average cost to consumers-and many
Of our consumers from this hour until
the end of the war are bound to be the
dependents Of men and women serv-
ing the government in army, navy,
hospitals and elsewhere.
Spectators do not guess; they
know. The GOVERNMENT should
KNOW and ACT to protect the mass
es. and to regulate the painless meth
DDS of agriculture and marketing as
whole.
| The causes of prices are outside
supply and demand" in this hit-or-
miss arrangement for feeding the ma
ton and marketing the surplus.
| More efficient plans of production
and distribution of foodstuffs are as
necessary as mobilization of armed
forces. To fight we must eat, and SO
must our allies.
BY all means give us a central adj
ministrative department for control of
food production and distribution.
Make it responsible for exact knowl-

That is mighty good advice, also, for
those who are not aliens or enemies
of this country, but who cannot resist
the temptation to show how much they
don't know and how flair" they think
they are to the country's enemies.
We believe that the time has arrived
when Dro-Gerulans and pro-cheap
talk should shut up. These disciples
of nothing in particular but the of
side" should have in mind that the
country is definitely and overwhelm-
ingly placed for humanity against in
humanity. for right against might. for
democracy against autocracy. There
is no backing out and he that is not a
true American Is an enemy in some
degree.
President Wilson is a conservative
in the last degree. He hates war and
loves liberty and justice. He has been
slow to anger and Of great mercy. He
has been patient and long suffering.
Now. in the hOur or MS great determl-
nation he deserves the loyal support of
every American. He is our President;
all party lines have vanished: we are
one party against common danger.
Let US obey the law and do nothing
but help and encourage. He that OPP
poses and protests is a near traitor.
Personal OPINIONS and understandings.
or lack of understanding. must sink
before the great common conviction.
Let us hold ourselves ready and re-
sponsible. and expect no half-hearted
measures. There is work in plenty
just as important as carrying a gun,
and the biggest duty Of all is loyalty
and patriotic support of the national
verdict against Prussianism.

We pity him who mourns,-yet why?
Who suffers most has most to give.
Look up. sad heart,-for bye and bye
The answer comes to all thy grief.
The answer comes and this is how,
In sharing others veal and woe;
When to Gods will we gently bow,
Grace from our lives to others flows.
The message comes to one and all:
Who for Christ's sake his life shall lose,
The same in strength shall rise, not fall
Shall grow in grace, in peace. in power
Oh gentle, gracious One, above.
Teach us how often loss is gain,
Teach us how mercy, faith and love
Are stepping stones to peace divine.

Your editorial Raise and Con-

seems to me to be a word fifty spok-

were any way in which those inter-
ested in the very fundamental plan
of conservation therein recommend
ed, could aid in bringing 1t to pass.
On account of the cost of grain our
milk and cream producers are doing
business with but little profit, and
every farmer, except those who
raised potatoes and held them. is at
wits end corner to make the ac-
counts balance. To worse than de-
stroy millions of bushels of grain is
not only foolish but criminal.
] took dinner at a home last fall
and the chief topic Of conversation
was the II. c. Of L., but during the
hour the mother remarked that her
daughter, working in the factory.
had. for several payments, aver
aged more than $40 per week. l am
glad for her, but l know men who
support families on much less. But
that is away from the subject; I
would like to read your editorial
next Sunday in our church, then
circulate a petition for the accom-
plishment Of that suggestion.
I am thankful for the support that
the Journal has brought to the
cause OF Prohibition, and say, long
may you continued"
No answer is needed unless there
Is some practical way In which ]
