Turkey and Shortcakc.

Omaha, June Ito the Editor of
The Bee: In your Letter Box today,
appears an interesting note from a
farmers wife at Greenwood, Neb.
This excellent lady has been read
] ing much literature in regard to con-
servation of food and now thinks it
her duty to write upon the subject.
She expresses the opinion that at this
time when extra effort is being made
to produce more foodstuffs on the
farms, there is too much being wasted
in the homes of rich people in our
cities. Her letter is most entertain
ing.
Is it not unlikely that the informa-
ton she has gained through talks with
"a number of girls who have worked
in cities" may be somewhat unreli-
able? To quote from her letter "the
finest of meats and fowl, not half of
it eaten, is thrown into the garbage
can. A twelve-pound turkey was
ordered for dinner, half of it eaten
and the remainder thrown away.
Strawberry short cake-enough to
bring joy to many starving family
has gone into the same garbage can"
Dear lady of the farm, forgive me
for suggesting that these illustrations
are unfortunate; you could find better
ones. Roast turkey and strawberry
short cake--most toothsome and
-delectable of viands: I love you both
and "how happy could be with either
were tother dear charmer away" For
the moment. let us confine our
thoughts to turkey. Most of my life
has been spent in city homes, and
have seen something of so-called
''rich' homes. To my mind, turkey,
well selected and properly prepared,
is the very acme of excellence
Dear readers, cannot you recall the
savory odor of Sir Gobbler when he
emerges steaming hot from the oven?
Provocation to the appetite? Yes.
rather. Come again, Frank, have
some more turkey!' Thank you, if
you have it to spare. guess / will"
And so 1t goes-the turkey goes. Th
next day--cold turkey-day after,
turkey croquettes and, by golly, the
day after that, comes that rich, SOUL
satisfying soup de turkey remnant.
Always an apology for using slang,
but l must "be shown" that anybody
throws away half of turkey.
l shall not allow myself to get
started on the subject of strawberry
short cake. Due regard for conserva-
ton of space in the Letter Box for
bids me that pleasure.
Who was 1t that said perhaps the
Almighty could have made a better
berry than the strawberry, but doubt
less he never did?" Do people ever
throw away good short cake? Perish
the thought! Angels and ministers of
grace defend US! Wow!

1t is time, brave men of our land,
We sensed the condition Of things,
Important We wake to the fact
That apathy to us clings.
1t is time we understand
The peril which direly waits,
Important we apprehend
The evils which lie at our gates.
1t is time we rose to the heights
Which ever before us extend,
Important we bare our breasts
Our country and good to defend.
1t is time that our paltry strife
For advantage came to an end,
Important for us to decide
What way our force to expend.
1t is time to measure our strength
With the powers forever in play,
Important to carefully scan
The tendencies of the day.
It is time to eliminate
Those things which make for ill,
Important to hush the siren
Which whispers Peace, be STILL"
1t is time to list to the roar
OF the surging sea of events,
Important to measure well
Our power to make defense,
1t is time to fully weigh
The obstacles in our path,
Important to build against
The Fastening day Of wrath.
1t is time to realize
That crisis hurrying comes.
Important to comprehend
The meaning of throbbing drums.
1t is time we gave our thoughts
Unto things which we abhor,
Important to sense from afar
The terrible pulsings of war.
IL is time to read the signs
Whlch fame in the heavens high,
Important to apprehend
The mighty upheavals nigh.
1t is time to take a stand
Galnst the mighty ills of the day,
important we hasten to guard
Our darkening, perilous way.
1t is time that vice and crime
ohould De crushed to deepest hell,
Important the spirit in man
In loftier zones should dwell.
1t is time the riotous sense
Was cast from our midst away,
important that better thoughts
should men and the nations sway.
IL Is time that reason took place

Where the war gods terrors are

Price. Fixing a Questionable Cure.

Advocates Of price-hxing by the government,
both buyers and Sellers approaching the same
end from different points Of view, overlook one
Of the vital factors OF their problem. One con-
tends for maximum, the other for minimum
price, and neither seems to recognize that what
ever point is determined on beyond which the
price can go no higher or no lower is likely to be-
come the established selling figures. What one
accepts as the maximum the other will look upon
as the minimum and the price becomes rigid.
Arbitrary price-hxng is of doubtful utility at
the best. Not many years ago the German gov
ernment adopted stringent rules against dealing
in futures, which had the effect of disturbing
prices, because it destroyed the open markets.
After several years of costly experience the law
was modified in such way as permitted trading
to the extent that actual conditions might have
their normal effect on prices. AT present the
British government guarantees the farmer price
for his crops that will yield him reasonable re-
turn and at the time sees to it that the con-
sumer is not subjected to extortion. The range
Is ample to permit normal trading and give room
for reasonable profit This Is war measure,
adopted under pressure Of such artificial limita-
ton OF food supply as never will prevail in this
county
Finally, supply and demand will fix the price
and the only interference on part of the govern
mnt should be to prevent control Of sinister in
fuence as far as possible, What America needs
is some system that will do away with boarding
or hiding of surplus stocks, thus obviating the
creation Of an apparent shortage and the conse-
quent manipulation of markets, This sort of
supervision will bring far better results than the
fixing OF prices at which commodities may be sold.

Revolutionary pains in Russia differ little from
those experienced elsewhere. Unexpected lib
erty naturally breeds license and turbulence, in
tcnsi6ed in this instance by the vaster multitude
released from restraints. The main hope of de-

tremists and uniting the forces Of moderation.

Hold Parents Responsible.

+ Omaha, June Ito the Editor of
The Bee: very often read in The Bee
and other papers of so many petty
depf edations done by boys of the age
of IL TO Is years, and also know of
several communities that are pestered
almost beyond endurance by such
boys. that as yet haven't been caught.
They destroy gardens and steal every
thing that they can get away with.
Now l believe that when boys are
caught doing such capers the parents
ought to be punished as well as the
boys. for 1t is their fault. There are
exceptions, of course, but the average
boy or girl is about as good as his
mother or father is or has been.
The responsibility for youthful sins
lies mostly with older people. Many
parents think they are too busy to de-
vote any time to the care of their
children and allow them to run at
leisure, never taking q thought of
where they are, or what they are
doing. or what kind of company they
are with. IL people would sec that
their children are at home at night
by dark at least, there wouldn't be SO
many outlaws, and much less crime.
One reads of SO many holdups and
burglaries of late by real young men,
and why? Because some mothers
have neglected their duty and allowed
their boys to run at leisure. Then,
too, there are those that have little
regard for other peoples property
and do not care what their children
do, as long as they are not caught at
it. Now is it any wonder that the re-
formatory and penitentiary are so
full?
Parents are, in a measure at least,
responsible for the sins Of their chill
dren and IL they could only realize
their responsibility they would wake
up to their duty and we would have
better boys and girls. The boys and
girls of today will be the men and
women Of tomorrow and what will
pace? A MOTHER,
