Red Cross, given to funds to help
the non-combatants in Europe, in

Government. If you are a woman

work or any canning. preserving or

FOOD PRODUCERS AND PUBLIC.

On the face of it. has right to sell his product
for any old price that he get But there imta
tons in and justice If traveller to inn
keepers door weary and exhausted cold winter night
the landlord might say that he had right to charge him
any price he wanted He might say that the man could
better afford to pay $50 for his lodging than risk his
life and health in the storm
But any inn-keeper who took advantage of human
suffering to charge exorbantly would be called rapaci
ous Lawyers would probably say that he could be
PEELED, keeper of public house, to take the in
and give him accommodation at decent price.
The position of the food producer in this time of food
shortage is the same morally not legally The people
suffering for lack of certain food products Those
who have these products enrichng themselves Can
any limit be placed on this grasping spirit?
Ways are always found in which to end great abuse
Food specuations is evil which our people have to
contend and they will not be tolerant in doing So In
their anger they may to the other extreme and hit
blow at business interests that may do lasting hurt Food
SPECTATORS should have how they provoke the
Stunning public into state of wrath leading to hasty and
perhaps injudicious action
dealer may have the legal right to ask unreason-
able price If it inevitable that laws should be
changed If they want to avoid the vexaous interior
ence of government which business interests all dread
let the food Spectator beware how like the innkeeper
he turns the public away in time of exigency. People
who want to keep friends and remain in business at the
old stand would better protect their customers and the
public.

LEISURE TIME.

Leisure time is comparatively modern invention The
old timers never had any leisure. They worked longer
hours than do Factories used to II and IL hours
day. Farmers would get up four and work until dark
Clerks, merchants and professional men used to run
their back yard gardens Many receiving large
incomes not to raising potatoes and beans
in the home lot They had become accustomed to count
ing the pennies and besides they thought the active work
was good for their health.
Today working hours are gradually growing shorter
Many people get Saturday afternoons The eight hour
and the nine hour days becoming common There are
great many people who can have their evening meal
promptly at six O'clock leaving good long evening free
for other pursuits.
Hundreds of thousands of these people, whose fathers
aforesaid used to take up the shovel and the hoe at
that hour out spinning around in their automo-
biles Many of the young people simply promenadng
and down the towns throngng the refreshment stands
and cycling the other sex.
This great change in the habits of people is not
wholly decadence 1t does mark decline of that old
resoute spirit that founded fortunes and developed
ngs bank accounts But leisure time is valuable if used
we'll The hours indoor worker spends outdoor
sports often the most valuable of the twenyfour
Only the time ought not be spent aimessly. Simply
drifting around the streets develops muscle and lays
foundations for future If many people this
summer would spend it in raising potatoes, they would
stand better chance of business success But whether
spent in labor sport definite end of achievement
or physical advancement ought to be held in view.

state concerned has been given the
power of concurrence or veto; and
the bill before the lower house OF
congress actually goes so far as to
provide that no sanctuaries may be
made without the concurrence, of the
state legislatures concerned. DR..
Hornaday very justly complains of
this suppression of very material
fact.
The memorial declares that the
sanctuaries will seriously interfere
with the grazing industries of Wyom-
ing; while the well known truth Is
that from the very first the grazing
industries have been so carefully
guarded by the terms of the Cham.
berlain and Hayden bills that all the
sheep and cattle men of the West
and Southwest, SO far as heard from.
are the sincere friends and support
ers Of the game sanctuary bills. This
is particularly the case in the South
west. The same forest service that
now is giving the western grazing
interests square deal will recon-
mend locations for game sanctuaries;
and the interests Of the stockmen
are quite secure from harm.
The Wyoming memorial hotly pro-
tests against any and all forms Of
federal interference and "centraliza-
ton Of power" in connection with the
game Of Wyoming, sublimely forget
full of the fact that In response to
another memorial" from the Wyom-

Of the United Spanish War Veterans
of Nebraska, asking that preference
be given Spanish war reserve officers
who have passed the examinations for

ing other conditions re equal.
Mr.. Abbott said that the move was
prompted by the fact that Spanish
war veterans are as a rule older men
than the others applying for commits
sions in the officers reserve and that
they could not afford to leave their
businesses or professions unless they
were given assurance Of preference
over younger men with no military
training. The Spanish War Veterans
