THE COST OF FOOD.

It is we'll to take with good deal Of
allowance that catchy saying, credited
to James J. Hill, that the question is
not so much the high cost Of liviDg'as
the cost of high living. This country
was for long time, the land Of cheap
and abundant foods; but it has come to
pass that many have inside information
that foods are no longer cheap and plen-
tiful. III the years that are gone, fam
lies in log houses sat around bounteous
tables; and the eyes Of the children
would fill with tears when it was related
that across the ocean there we're cOun-
tries where, for working people, meat
was not an everyday article Of diet
The farmers produced their own beef,
pork, milk. cream, butter and eggs; and
fish ami game were abundant.
The New York Sun is advocating a
return to corn meal mush a cheap and
nutritious food of pioneer days. But
what would corn meal mush have been
in the pioneer days without the trim
mings? The trimmings for the evening
meal were good rich milk and cream
and butter, brought in from a spring
house hard by, where cool clear water
flowed out through the channels between
fiat stones on which the milk pans rested.
AS breakfast food, the mush was fried
and served with rashers of home cured
bacon. Yes, corn meal mush, plus the
old time trimmings, would be no mean
article of food at this or any other time.
But the question is to get the trimmings.
A spring house such rs above described
would now be considered fair extrava
gance on any farm.
The question of the high cost of food
is largely one of oyer consumption and
under production. 1t cannot be solved
in the winter time, when everybody is
consuming and nobody producing. Next
spring, when the weather permits, get
out and fertiliZe and cultivate. Grow
more food for man and beast. That is
the only sure way out.

PRESS POINTS
Observation-Disclosures IITTr

Press Bulletin Wisconsin Wonlan's Suffrage
publican in the interior of Wisconsin expressed
the opinion that the Republican party in con-
gresS will not do much for woman suffrage be-
cause the woman suffrage states at the last
election voted for Wilson. The question was
put to him VIII Their he would disenfranchise
every man who voted the Democratic ticket,
"Sure would, he responded promptly, lust
give me chance" No one knows or can know,
whether Mr. Wilson would have been reelected
without the votes of women but that question
has nothing to do with the woman suffrage
eau e. PartiZan politicians must understand
that they cannot tie up the woman vote to their
party standard. The independent man voter is
recognized one of the safeguards of the re-
public. The independent woman voter belongs
to the same class.
