ELGIN BUTTER QUOTATIONS.
A Fraud Upon the Retailer and Con-
sumner, Finds a Federal
Grand Jury.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: A federal
grand jury. sitting in Chicago, has
been considering Elgin butter quota
tons, with the result that they sub
mitted as their findings several inter-
rogation points.
The grand jury learned only that the
general ignorance of the public as to
the convincing reasons for an Elgin
butter board and Elgin butter quota
lions, is, under the circumstances, en-
tirely excusable. The members Of
the butter board alone have penetrat-
ed so. deeply into the mysteries Of
commerce as to be able to answer.
They cannot be indicted as trust
The government might as we'll forget
that feature. They have simply been
getting by with bluff of more than
Andean proportions. The Gazette pub
fishes the Elgin butter quotations. 1t
has to do it. Other papers publish
Elgin butter because they have to do
it. The Gazette knows it is a raw
bluff, that the Elgin butter board is
not supposed to be able to fill an or
der for 100 tubs at it's own quotations.
But creamery men and merchants all
over the country demand Elgin figures
and they are entitled to what they
want.
The members of the E1gin outer
board are said to reside in Chicago
and are supposed to be so greatly in
terested in the produce business as to
make the quotation Of prices to be &C
cepted by the general trade profitable
to them.
Their scheme has been farcial, but
it has been effective. II they wished
butter to be sold at 35Ac, 365sc or
40Ac they made the fact known
through the medium of the press, and

REAL INVESTMENTS.

Our thoughts, our HABITS Of thinl1ing-our at
titude of mind-these are our real investments
in this life, and as they are SO must be our
dividends.
We attribute too much Importance to envl-
ronment, to outside influences, in the shaping
Of our characters and our lives.
Cur characters and lives, unfold, like
the rose. from within AS the stream flows out
from the hidden spring, so each life flows out
from the mind.
If the spring is pure, the stream is pure; and
as the mind is, SO is the life.
Our every thought is an investment-the
only real investment we can make-and like
unto it will be our dividends.
These in the aggregate, noble or BASE true or
false, make up our fortunes or our failures
For after all of the so-called practical
things are said-after all the gold in the world
is weighed-the real riches of this life, our divi-
dends of real substance, are the satisfaction and
the uplift we get in hearts, and the satisfac-
ton and uplift we give to the hearts of others.

and different information engages public atten-
ltion 1t serves no useful purpose.
Among the many admonitions that the peo-
pie are receiving from Washington none has
been more persistently pressed than the one
urging economy, the prevention of waste.
The government should practice as well as
preach 1t should set an example,
Discontinuance of the publication of the
"Official Bulletin' would be evidence of an
awakening to the government duty to practice
economy as well as preach it.

A WASTE OF MONEY.

Publication of the "Offcial Bulletin" by
President Wilson's committee on publicity at
the head of which is George Creel, person
who is discredited before the country as having
sent forth to the newspapers fake report OF an
attack by German U-boats upon United States
transports en- route to France costs something
of course. In ratio to other expenditures on ac-
count Of the war its cost cannot be large, but 1t
is too much to be wasted.
And any expenditure which does not produce
adequate value is money wasted
The public cannot get value from pubica-
ton of the ''Offcial Bulletin It carries only
routine information from government depart
ments, relating to war. That information comes
directly and speedily to the people through the
newspapers, on the day when it is given out
When the "Offcial Bulletin arrives, through
the mails, from one day to four days after pub
location, according to the distance of localities
from Washington. its contents are stale. New

IOWA PRESS CONVENT.

Marshalltown Times Republican:
The Des Moines Daily Capital, once
sold for So per year on Bargain day,
now announces its price as 81 per
year and 40 cents per month for short
er periods, The cause is the increased
price of print paper and the boost in
postage rates provided in the war tax
bill.
Burlington Hawk-Eye: Senator
Kenyon is right in his insistence that
congress must not relinquish the
rights conferred upon it by the fed
eral constitution. This country does
not want absolute presidency any
more than it wants an absolute mon
archy.
Dubuque Tfmes-Journal: Whenever
you read that the coal operators, or
the steel men, or the bakers, or any
other set of men who control the mar
ket for some commodity greatly need
ed by the common people or of vital
necessity for the carrying on of war,
proposes an "amicable agreement"
whereby prices shall be fixed, shake
hands with yourself. For it is sure
sign that the nightmare of command
ering has caused the hair of the mo-
nopolies to stand on end. The price
tixers do not fear the ordinary stat
utes. They just dote on the long
drawn and long-winded congressional
investigation. They are even toler-
ant Of grand jury probes.

Council Bluffs Nonpareil: Undoubt-

The terms which the Prussians now
desire are a return to the ante war
status and no indemnities. The allies
will not accept this proposal for the
reason that 1t would permit the guilty
criminals responsible fo- the slaugh-

After seventeen years of school teaching in
San Francisco a woman who confessed that the

the school board was a long time in smoking
the lady out and that when her unpatriotism
was discovered she was let down very lightly.
