GERMANY REJOICING OVER FISH
Large Supply Brings Cost Below the
LEGAL Maximum Price

ECSdt MAXIMUM
Copenhagen, May 27-Germany is
rejoicing in an oversupply of fish, ow-
ing to unusually large catches in the
Baltic sea and heavy imports. The
people are being implored by the
newspapers to eat more fish, which is
now obtainable without cards and be-
low the legal maximum price. The
army, too, is oversupplied and the
smoking establishments have more
fish on hand than they can preserve.
Foreign sources in Denmark have
been notified to limit or temporarily
discontinue shipments of fish.
A big crop of early asparagus lis
causing the German newspapers to
use big head lines, as in the case of
fish, on the phenomenon of the law
of supply and demand, which is pro-
ducing a market price below the legal
maximum.
The potato situation is proceeding
from bad TO worse. The German au-
thorities everywhere have been COM
PEELED tn cut into their grain stores to
provide supplementary ration for
potatoes. Hot, dry weather continues
to prevail and is bringing on the crops
rapidly after their late start owing
to the belated Spring. and advancing
the probable date of the harvest. The
farmers now, however, are praying for
rain.

British dominions have thrown them

Edison's Sermon.

Thomas A. Edison, the inventor,
by many considered to be the greatest
living American, breaches the follow
ing eloquent little sermon on Liberty
Bonds and patriotism:
Pay what it's worth to you to be an
American citizen Figure it cold
bloodedly--if you are built that way.
Consider what this country has meant
to you, what it will mean to your chill
dren and to humanity in future genera
tions. Then when you have thought
over these things take pen in hand
and do your bit for the Liberty Loan.
THE spirit Of 1917 in America
should be spirit of service. From
the highest to the lowest the upper
most idea should be how we can serve
our common country Some of us are
going to make the supreme sacrifice
of our lives on the battlefields OF
France and on the high seas. Some
of us are working night and day to
solve the scientific questions involved
in conquering our German foes. Some
of us are expected to do our bit on
the farms or in the factories. There
is niche for almost all of us if we
will but look for it with patriotic eyes.
"One thing is sure-the minimum
service of any of us can render to
and the democracy of the
whole world is to buy Liberty Bonds.
No Government in the history of the
world ever asked money for nobler
purpose. To buy a bond is to pay the
first premium on an insurance policy
against the death of democracy,
against brutal Prussian miltarism,
against future wars with their result
ant deaths and sorrows and horrors"

RAILROADS AND EQUIPMENT

Despite the big business our railroads
have been doing, they have been I'M
able to get a sufficient supply of new
equipment. largel because plants in
existence for this purpose are inform
ed by the government just what to do
and whose orders to fill-and at pres
ent foreign orders and necessities have
the call.
The entente nations lack locomotives
and railroad equipment, and until they
are looked after American railroads
can not be supplied with anything like
sufficient quantities. no matter how
much money may be on hand for the
purpose
The government is working on the
principle that war needs come first
the war requirements of our allies, as
we'll MS those of ourselves.
