MOST COMMODITIES SHOULD BE-

MERs AND RETAILERS DO
THEIR PART.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-Food Admin
istrator Hoover announced today that
subject to cooperation from the far
mers and retailers, the corner has now
been turned in high prices for food.
He said retail prices had not come
down to conform to wholesale reduc-
tons and that was a matter for pub
lie sentiment to correct
The administrators statement says:
"The Food admiki stration considers
that, subject to cooperation from the
farmers and the retailers, the corner
has now been turned in high pieces and
that most of the essential commodi-
ties should one after another begin to
show the reductions between now and
the end of the year. The food admin
istration has no control of either the
grower or his organization, nor Of the
great majority of retailers. The foun-
dations have been laid for regulation
of the intermediate trades and where
these regulations have come into force
and the trades are cooperating finely,
considerable results are evident in the
wholesale prices.

Department of Mining.
Mining Congress JournaD

(Mining Congress JournaD
The need of department of mines
and mining with its head member of
the presidents cabinet, has never been
more forcibly illustrated than in the
present situation and during the pres
ent crisis. The bureau of mines has
done splendid work, but the influence
of the mining industry in the nations
councils has of necessity been pre-
scented to the executive through agen-
cies with only long distance ac-
quaintance with the industry.
The Importance. of mining to the
nations welfare is not recognized. The
treatment of the industry by the ma
tional government is not and never
has been fair, The mining industry
has been the goat upon which the sins
of all other industries have been load
ed
1t is hoped that the nation will
learn its lesson without the intense
punishment which seems to be neces-
sary to educate the public in new
line of thought Mining is the most
important business of the nation. 1t
should be first at the council table of
the national administration.
When will the nation awaken to
the great Importance of the creation
of department of mines and mining
whose head shall be a member of the
presidents cabinet?

The cyanide mills in operation at

mills are under construction. In 1916,
the silver output of Nevada was over

Many lessees in the Yellow Pine dis
