IN BAD ON EGGS.

The cold storage egg men appear to have
overplayed themselves and now, hard hit,
would have the government make eggs an army
ration to save them from loss They have IN
storage twenty-six million more eggs than they
had year ago. Most of these were bought in
April at thirty seven and half cents dozen
and are selling now for thirty three and a half,
loss of four hundred dollars a car. Even at
these figures the public is not buying eggs as
in former years at this season. They won t pay
the high price demanded Many households
now have as an attachment small flock OF lay
ers and, despite the high cost of grains, find it
a saving to grow their own henfruit. The
cold storage men, finding it not profitable to ex-
port the eggs they have on hand, the water
content being too great it is said that big opera
tors have offered to turn their whole stocks
over to the government at cost plus ten per
cent and that they stand to lose heavily IN
less the government helps them out.

One family may live and save on
500 month, while another family
of equal size may be unable to make
ends meet, saying nothing about saw

pie take naturally to economy and in
time become rich. Other people
take just as naturally to extravas

rural districts Voted Dry.

The city vote, taken as whole,
was AGAINST the amendment while the
rural vote was favorable. Eight
thousand soldiers in the environments
of New Mexico were deprived of their
vote through delay in getting the
ballots to them. w. j. Bryan spoke
for the amendment and emphasized
the Importance of a victory on the
result of the prohibition election in
Ohio next month.
The Des Moines Register remarks
editorialIy that in the thirty counties
where more than 20 per cent of the
population is native born of native
parents the amendment carried in
every county, and usually by major
titles of or to l. In the twenty-siX
counties where less than SO per cent
of the people are native born of
native parents the amendment was
beaten in twenty counties and car
ried in six. In six counties with less
than so per cent Of native stock
which ratified the amendment, the
foreign element in every Instance
was Scandinavian. The editor says
the German element, which is very
strong in Iowa, voted almost solidly
against prohibition. and concludes:
These statistics certainly point TO
the native born of native parents as
the backbone Of the prohibition
strength, with material assistance
from the Scandinavian element of

PRUssIAN. NOT GERMAN.

A mass of unassailable evidence shows that
the Prussian theory of Red Cross work is not
that of the civilized powers. Its Red Cross is
not an organization of mercy working to ale
viate human suffering wherever found, but a
part of the Prussian military machine con-
cerned only to save German lives. The German
stretcher parties moving between the battle
lines are never molested by the British or
French, but the British and French Red Cross
workers are killed by snipers in such numbers
that the casualties among their stretcher bear
ers are greater than in the infantry on the firing
line. This and the bombing of hospitals from
aeroplanes and the torpedoing of hospital ships
show conclusively that the Prussians do not
wage war as other nations do but hold them
selves justified in. using all means however hor-
nble 10 attain their ends.
This is Prussianisn-not Germanism; and it
is encouraging to note that German-Americans
are making this distinction as they never did
before, and that leaders among them are out
spoken In their declarations that the German
E,aeTlla have no reason 10 love the imperial gov
eminent but every reason to desire 10 see it
fDvarthrgwn
The most hopeful sign that the war NAV be
nearing Tts end is that the German people are
beginning TO realize that by Kidding themselves
of their ruling caste they can make peace and
regain the friendship of the world.
Plays which present or attempt to solve per-
plexities which, after all are most of them con
trived by the playwright and plays which en-
phasize the fact that life is full of trouble are
not likely to find favor this year. At least it
is the experience Of all the nations in the war
that the amusement public is larger than ever
but it demands cheering note in what is pre-
sented to it from the stage. One thing is par
tlcularly noticeable; the demand for music on
the stage well as in the concert room is
greater than ever before. And the musical
piece which seems best to satisfy this demand
is of a better sort than any Of its predecessors.
We have good sem-operatic scores written
nowadays, even in the books which are mere
skeletons on which to hang loosely miscel-
laneous entertainment such as every Good
Eddie and the like. And we have musical
pieces which are close to the good light opera
Of a still older day. And it would seem profit
able for some far-seeing producer to again Of
fer some Of the old-time favorites-'' Girofle-
Girofla, - Fatanitza,'' ''The Pirates of Pen
zance,'' for instance.

Hope for National Prohibition.

National prohibition is probably
the best hope of Iowa drys for the
immediate future. They will go be-
fore the next legislature and ask for
a resubmission of the amendment,
and may succeed in getting favor
able vote. Even if this is the case,
they will have to appear before an
other legislature in 1921 and obtain
another resubmission before a vote
can be taken, and there is no pos
sibility of Iowa voting again on the
amendment before 1921.
Republican and democratic parties
of the state alike again are facing
the liquor question. The democrats,
who switched to the dry side in 1917,
are likely to be controlled again by
the vets when the party platform is
drawn next spring. The republican
party will stick By its dry policy of
the past generation, but is likely TO
be chary of any drastic declarations!

The government theory that industrial com
binations are bad has been discarded since the
beginning of the war. This government not
only permits but urges the railroads to work
together. 1t sees what businessmen saw long
ago, that there is strength in combination. It
should know that policy helpful in winning
the war will help in the struggle for business
In world markets when the war is over.
Knowing what the fair price is, the buyer
has only to refuse to pay more. It is the
quickest way ever conceived to bring dealers
to their senses. The country is beautifully sup
piled with all essentials. The time has passed
for handing over our pocketbooks to the re-
taller and accepting submissively what he is
pleased to return to US.

WAsHINGToN's NEW
OFFICE OF MARKETS

Profitable marketing of his pro-
duce is one of the most SERIOUS prob
lens confronting the American farm
er today. In the Northwest this
problem is especially difficult. owing
TO the long distance between larger
centers of population and regions of
production The state of Washing
ton ranks high in the quality and
quantity OF its agricultural products
and If adequate markets are avail
able the agricultural prosperity of
the state is assured
Mindful of this situation. the 1917
legislature wisely passed an act Gre
ating state office of farm markets
providing for a director OF markets
and assistants who shall give their
tlne to the investigation, encourage
ment, development and Improvement
OF marketing conditions in the state
The bill was formulated and intro
duced by Senator. Ralph Metcalf of
Tacoma, one of the foremost Students
OF agricultural economies in the
west today. Senator Metcalf was one
OF Washington representatives on
the National Commission on Rural
Credits and Cooperative Organiza
ton sent to Europe four years ago
and he has during the past two years
m ade careful study of marketing
departments in the various states Of
this country, embodying the results
of this work in the law recently
passed.
The law provides for an investiga-
ton of methods of distribution.
transportation rates, methods of re-
ducing wastes, costs of marketing.
and is designed to assist in every way
possible in the Improvement of mar
keting conditions. The maintenance
of market news service is provided
Tor. as is also cooperation with the
office of markets, U. S. Department
OF Agriculture, thus bringing to the
assistance of the people of the state
the full power of the federal and
state government in coping with this
important problem.
The law provides for a director of
farm marketing appointed by the
director of the state experiment sta
ton, by and with the approval of the
governor. 1t will, therefore, devolye
upon DR.. Ira d. Cardiff, director of
the experiment station, to organize
the new office of markets and SUPER
wise its work. The affiliation of
this new office with the experiment
station will have the result of close
ly co-ordinating the problems of ag-
ricultural production with those OF
distribution and marketing.
The act carries an appropriation
OF 5000 for the biennium which.
while small as compared to such APP
preparations in other states, never
theless Will allow the state to make
"SS'ii'ih6 III 'hIS ilhe ana effect
lively cooperate with the federal
marketing department and also
local marketing organizations. The
act is piece of wise and construct
i've legislation which will doubtless
have far-reaching consequences in
the economic development of the
state.

professor in the department of Hor-

his allotment, drawing low number
under 100,-and having resigned
his position at the State College will
devote his entire attention to the de-
velopment OF his land.
