An Interesting Universe.

"That only is important which is
eternal" said a sophist a long time
ago. Never believe it, chir2s an ex-
change. Everything and every expert
ence that touches ones life is impor-
tant and worthy of in -stigation. Ev-
cry person one meets has a message
to impart; every book contains vital
lesson; every object and condition
represents a principle to be mastered
Everything counts. Whatever chai'
lenges the attention is worth consid'
Grafton. "The world exists for the ed
ucation of every man in 1t" There Is
no reason for taking things too serl
ously, but every phase and phenomena
of life represents something essential
which the sincere student cannot AT
ford to overlook.

No attempt was made to conceal
the fact that bitter internal fight
had waged in the organization dur

are all of a favorable character. There
is a ready and remunerative market
for all of our basic productions, and
the demand for labor is unprecedented.
There is every indication that this
condition will maintain throughout
the progress of the war, but it is not
possible that advantage be taken of
such a situation for business exploita-
ton in the usual way, because of the
restraints interposed, and the fact that
so far as possible business itself is
being conscripted and made to serve
the purposes of the government rather
than maintain it's conduct along lines
of Independent enterprise.
Provisions.
Butter-Market is firm at previous
prices with normal supplies and steady
demand.
Eggs-Have been holding compare
lively easy during the period of open
weather, but firm up slightly with the
advent of lower temperature. Stor-
age stocks are now showing a wider
range in prices, due to the fact that
there is a marked discrepancy in the
quality Many eggs are not standing
up well, due largely to the fact that
the chickens were not supplied with
proper foodstuffs during the packing
season.
Fresh Meats-Market holds without
change as to quotations and distribu-
tive demands hold up well in spite of
the meatless days. Livestock receipts
are on about the same level as for
some time with very little variation
in quotations.
Poultry-Old hens, ROSTERS, ducks
and geese have firmed up a little fol.
lowing the Thanksgiving cleanup.
Cured Meat-Pork products general
ly are held firm on the basis of live
stock quotations. Trade has been
showing the usual holiday conditions
pending the results of exhaustive in
designations now being made into the
industry by the new department of the
food administration.

pied with a shortage of supplies, holds
the market for fish firm with advanc
ing tendencies. Halibut has now
reached a new record level, with silver
salmon comprising the only offerings

Flour and Feed.
There has been no change in the
price of flour since the recent readjust.
ment, represented by a zoe decline
The trade is now buying flour on the
basis of immediate wants, and the bus
mess passing is steady, without nota
BILE fluctuations. The mills are now
operating at close to capacity, the bulk
of business being on sales through
government agencies for European
shipment via Atlantic seaboard. The
main drawback to sustained activity
is in limitation of transportation ia
cilities, lack of cars holding up deliv
cries.
Manufacturers are finding much diff
ficulty in meeting requirements fol
millfeed, and there have been two re
cent advances of 81 per ton in bran
and shorts, with stocks inadequate t
cover all demands. Grains are holding
comparatively steady, but with firm
undertone and prospective demands fol

Drouth Is Causing Grains
to Burn Up as They Did
in the Year 1915.

Copenhagen, Denmark, June 10
Throughout Germany. according to
reports here, all valuable grain crops
are burning up as they did in 1915,
in an unprecedented heat wave. The
prolonged drouth has not been brok-
en- since early in May. Berlin on
Sunday experienced the hottest June
II on record in the 20 years exper-
fence of the weather bureau. Tropi-
cal temperatures were reported every
where west of the Oder river.
The effect of the drouth on grain
crops around Berlin where only eight
millimeters of rain have fallen since
May I, is described by a neutral who
arrived here on Friday as almost a
catastrophe.
A Sunday sermon writer in the Ber-
lin Kreuz Zeitung, who recently in
dulged in a startling blending of re-
ligiOn and politics, declared Sunday
that the drouth was sent as a pun
ishment for the sins of the people
for listening to the editors of the
irreligious newspapers and asked how
long il would be before this divine
chastisement would bring the people

debate If necessary"
OppOsIng Senators Question
Chairman Gore, of the agriculture
committee, and senator Reed OF Mis-
souri, leading the opposition to the
bill, took a leading part in question
ing Mr.. Hoover.
THE resort to these extraordinary
powers is only because of the war;
asked senator Gore.
ITO provide not only more food for
the allies, but for ourselves" Mr..
Hoover replied. Even if we had not
gone into the war, we would have
been up against this tremendous de-
mand from Europe and probably
driven to some legislation to protecs
our own people"
Interested Only In Food.
Mr.. Hoover expressly disclaimed
authorship, personal interest or re-
sponsibility for the bills provisions
relating to fuels, declaring he was
only interested in food
The provision for communicating
factories, mines and other plants, ne
added, would not be necessary in ad-
mnistering food questions
Would Not Unload Cribs.
Senator Reed referred to a section
which he contended would permit the
to take from cribs and
bins grain stored there in excess of
the amount actually needed by the
farmer and asked Mr.. Hoover's opin-
ion regarding the enforcement.
LAS far as I am concerned, 1 would
not attempt to execute it as far as
the present situation appears" re-
piled Mr.. Hoover
Mr.. Hoover also said the food ad-
had no desire Of regulat-
ing consumption Of food as is being
done abroad, saying that would be
left to the voluntary viii of the peo-
pie
Senator Gore asked Mr.. Hoover II
he would deny TO the farmer the right
to judge the amount Of crops he should
grow.
IF the government guarantees a
minimum price, Hoover replied,
we might not get the beneficial re-
suit for the farmer unless We also
have the power to limit imports"
We don't propose to go to the ex-
tent of fixing consumers rations,
