THE SHELL CONTRACT.

Whatever the reason may be, it is hupiating that the bid for big naval shells should to be gives to British firm. IL humliates our government after all its preparedness efforts, particularly humiliaes American industry.
 It hardly seems likely that the British shells have been offered to below their production Even if Great Britain has big than she needs at present they would hardly be given to foreign nation a sacrifice
 Company, have boasted much their productive ca pacity and patriotism. Either British manufacturers much efficient than ours that they can make and sell shells cheaper than can, in the midst Of great else manufacturers are so un. patriotic that they want government pay about 50 per cent than the shells are worth And neither supposition is very creditable

ence of such a price in reference
to any one or more commodities
in advance of the appearance of
an acute situation; nor is it con-
templated that such a price, if
fixed, could be of continuing
operation. The single thought
this connection is that the power
might be used as a club, to be
applied only in individual cases
where it is clear that an individ-
ual or corporation had establish
ed a corner or was practicing ex-
tortion. The power, it is suggest
ed, would be used against such
individuals or corporations, and
when that particular situation
was controlled or the abuse
eliminated, the incident would be
closed. Any further exercise of
the power would depend upon
the appearance of a similar condi-
tion."

In the afternoon the band render

all the buildings. A very few
farmers were in town, most of
them no doubt feeling that as
this has been a most backward
spring and every day in the fields
now will mean much toward the
raising of a sufficient crop to
supply the country. We do not
believe the man who put in the

disloyalty.

FIXING OF FOOD PRICES
SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE ISSUES
STATEMENT REGARDING CONTROL OF
PRICES OF FOOD PRODUCTS.

In response to letter regard
ing the fixing of prices of food
products, the Secretary of
Agriculture to-day, May l6, sent
the following reply:
"Your letter of May l, with in
closure, has been brought to my
attention. Your correspondent
expresses Apprehension from the
talk in the newspapers about the
Government setting a price on
toodstuffs. He seems to think
that it is contemplated to fix a
price to producers which would
be so low that they could not Sc
cure a reasonable return. Of
course there has been much
confused writing in the papers.
Only two suggestions have been
made: One is that the Govern
ment be given power to fix a
minimum price with a view to
stimulate production. This
price would be sufficiently high
to insure producers against loss.
1t could not have the effect fear
ed by your correspondent, be-
cause the very object would be
to stimulate production by assur-
ing sufficiently high prices to
producers. The other sugeesl
tion is that the Government be
given power to fix a maximum
price, in extreme emergencies, to
break corners or to control ex-
tortion. It is not contemplated
that the Government, if it had
the power to fix a maximum
