"LO0sE" EGGS AND EGGS IN CARTONS.

There's hint TO the co1sur2er that
should not go unheeded in the ruling
of the food commission in Chicago
when it set the price Of eggs. The deal
err Is permitted cents profit above the
price he paid for eggs on loose eggs
and IN cents on eggs in cartons"
The hin. Is In the difference. The
consumer pays for the carton and then
come. She pays for the work Of put
ting the eggs into the carton. In short
she is paying for a service which is
merely convenience. It makes a diff
ference Of a cent and half on a dozen
eggs. 1t isn't much perhaps but it
is a difference bigger than that be-
tween the per cent Liberty Bond
pays and the per cent the borrower
pays for the use of the money to buy
the bond.
We have grown used to the easiest
way of buying. We step to the tele-
phone and buy for the day or the half
day without seeing the goods. It's easy.
We expect them delivered within the
house. Why we don't even meet the
deIiveryman at the door. But we pay
for all Of it. Half the time we do not
check in our purchases. We have DC
come very careless buyers. We insist
on every convenience. And we have
forgotten that the purchaser pays.
Those who insist on complete service
must pay the complete bill for it.
Ii we would go down town OF q Mon
day morning and market for our week 8
supplies we might save 8 to 10 per
cent on our weekly bills by buying In
that quantity paying the cash on the
counter and IL we chose taking our
purchases home. However, any grocer
will deliver weeks supply for 10 cents
after he has met the discounts for bulk
of purchase and cash.
1t is common to hear men say
There's Soandso. Never got above 81;
q month and they have pretty nearly
| every thing that have. cant save
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1917-10-27

q cent on twice that wage and he's s0s
three or four lots and o house or
two that he's copied out Of the $7o
per-. But II he had followed Soandso
he'd have found that Soandso helped
himself Soandso bought close ana
served himself He was his own con-
veniences. Later the lots and the
houses and the money In the bank
were Soandso's conveniences also.
Eggs in cartons and eggs loose IN
a sack ana market basket are the diff
ference. LIS difference that runs thru
all we buy.
II we are 10 have eggs in cartons be-
cause of their conveniences and the
neatness of the package we are going
TO pay for them.

Topics of the Times

The person who should refuse to
feed his horse would hold an unen-
viable position in his neighborhood'
But what of him who refuses to con-
tribute part of his profits to feed and

ment have sent to war?
Des Moines coal investigators find
storage heaps multiplied over the city.
Des Moines' mayor may have his
faults but lack of courage isn't one Oh

A Mankato jury sent treason talker
to Leavonworth for three years yes

be a colony OF those fellows down there
talking each other to death and they

The solicitors tell story of a
wealthy man with more than one farm
who refuses to subscribe dollar to
the loan, but a renter on one OF MS
farms took a large subscription tho
the wealthy land owner had just raised
his rent to s12 an acre. There's no
need of editorial comment on this case.
The neighbors and the community will
attend 10 the comment.
How any man with any means can
refuse to do his very best to the loan
ir the face of wholesale rape, mutila-
ton. uncalled for destruction and as
sassination of innocent non combat
ants and peaceful neutrals its pretty
HARD to think OF way to loosen the

A NEW SORT?


The government has 4 new sort OF
Stacker. 1t is the parental Stacker"
That is the parent who does not wait
lis boy to go to war, and who makes
every endeavo: to have hin exempted.
The government might add few new
classes. For instance /. Nigh; add the
banker Stacker" This is the barker
who is willing to swear to anything a
depositor of his asks him 10 swear in
order to have some one exempted.
There are plenty Of them. In fact a
considerable share Of the exemptions
made by the district board, and a good
many other applications for exemption
will come under the head Of the par
entail Stacker backed by an army OF
other slackers something like this.
Almost all the men exempted In this
section have been young men whose
fathers were men of means. Being
men of means the fathers were able
some cases a banker with whom they
did business, and the father filled out
statement that could be made only
by stretching the truth considerably
to which the banker made affidavit as
being to the best Of his knowledge
and belief Then If the father had in
fuence with politicians, small or large
he went to them, and they swore to
his statement. Or if he were farmer,
as he frequently was in this county
he went to some prominent farmer.
and this prominent farmer made his
affidavit Other friends, usually more
or less prominent would be secured
on a similar affidavit, and the case
would be sent up to the district board
for exemption. The district board, hav-
ing only the one side ofsthe case before
them, and having confidence in the
integrity of the men who made the az
fidavits, have granted exemptions
which the public at large has beer
unable to understand. This Is the way
they were secured. But at the same
time some other case where q young
man not not have a we'll to do parent
al Stacker behind him, but where he
did have a good deal more merit In his
case than that of the other Is turned
down. The fact is the selective fea'
ture of the draft is being abused q
great deal more than it Is being right
ly used, and unless the government
goes after the parental s:ack=rE, and
all the tribes of slackers backing them
up, prosecuting every one who makes
an affidavit that ne can not prove to be
absolutely true and making no differ
ence whether the perjurer be rich Of
poor, influential or otherwise, the draft
will prove a failure in that it will leave
disgruntled and Disguised public.

Tho Salute.

A call0w youth, privileged to write
for one Of the evening papers from
Camp Grant, declares that ''the salute
must Co." that the American people
are not given to permitting themselves
to be lowered socially by any mark OF
Difference"
We suggest that the individual writ
ing this ignorant nonsense for a
metropolitan paper be brought back
and given few rudImentary lessons in
what the salute-either military or
civilian-means. We do not know
where he was bred. IL he was bred at
all, but 1t is time II he is to write at
Camp Grant or elsewhere he learned
that no man. American or otherwise, IS
lowered socially" by any mark of
Difference" A man is lowered social
ly" by the neglect OF marks OF defer
ence. not by yielding them.
The salute in the army-and this Is
true Of all armies except the army that
ran away before the Germans in Russia
recently-is a symbol Of the discipline
without which an army Is an ungov-
ernable mob which handful Of real
soldiers can put to rout. The yolfsss
ignoramus who writes from Camp
Grant asks: "Why should an American
citizen humble himself to every stripe
or collar mark that indicates a grade
higher In the service than himself?''
The answer Is that he does not humble
himself. The salute is mark OF re-
spect not given to the individual but to
the rank. therefore to the system OF
which the democratic soldier Is sup
posed to be an intelligent part. there
fore the salute is in a sense salute

Two Brothers.
Along in November when chill Wa9
the weather.
Two ballots were cast in box to-
They nestled up close like brother to
brother;
You couldn't tell one Of the votes from
the other.
THE Sunday school man-no man
could be truer-
Kept busy all summer denouncing tn
brewer;
But his fervor cooled of with the
change Of the weather,
And late in the autumn, they voted to-
gether.
'-rhe Sunday school man had always
been noted
For fighting saloons-except when he
voted;
He piled up his prayers with q holy
perfection,
Then knocked them all down on the
day OF election.
"I'he cunning old brewer was cheerful
and mellow;
Said ne. I admire that Sunday school
fellow;
He's true to the church-to his party
he's truer;
He. talks for the Lord, but he votes
for the brewer"

CONGRESSIONAL TAX ENEMPIloN
[Cedar Rapids Republican,
The fact that congress exempted It's
own members from the operation OF
the per cent tax on earned incomes
in excess Of $4,000 has brought ou1
great deal of criticism, and justly
so. 1t is an astonishing thing that mer
drawing $1,000 a year from the govern
ment should at a time when the whole
country has been calling upon every
one to do his bit that these men in
high places who should set the ex-
ample, should instead have shirkec
that duty and denied that patriotism
The country will hear much more
about this and so will the congress
men themselves. It is the worst piece
of self -fayoritism In modern political
history.
We trust that all the iowa congress
men can say as did Congressman Good
the other night, in a speech at Linden
Camp. Modern Woodmen, that he had
voted against it and would not in spite
of the law take advantage Of it. That
is the only decent thing for self re-
specting congressman to do. Con-
gress in an hour of folly has enacted
a law that the members will not dare
to take advantage Of unless they want
to cruelty themselves on the cross OF
public wrath.

However 1t is not channel nor boats
