MUST CURB PRoFiTEERS

Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary
of agriculture, says that the govern
ment is determined to wipe out the
profiteers and that it stands prepared
to take any measures that are found
necessary to the accomplishment of
that end.
Vrooman declares that the govern
ment is now trying to mobilize the
food distributing and marketing agen-
cies of the country on a basis OF pa
triotic efficiency, and that if simple
and conservative measures fail to take
the profiteering out of these agencies,
then ether measures will be applied
until the job is done. The government
will not stop short Of complete reOr-
ganization of it's marketing and distri-
buting system, il need be, to put the
nation on an effective basis for its
task.
1.-THE government did a great job
when it created the Federal Reserve
system" said Vrocman. "That was
the greatest piece of financial pre-
paredness the world ever saw. Crea-
ton of the Federal Trade Commission

tigation. The creation of the Shipping
Board and the naturalization OF rail-
reads we're important steps in the line.
MANY of the most ardent pre-war
advocates of preparedness had only
vague, half-baked notion of what
real national preparedness consists Of
They demanded more soldiers, mere
cannon, more battleships, and in these
demands they we're right, as events
have proved. But the things that
have actually been Gripping us during
the past year have not been lack

be an aviation service run on a specu-
lative basis. This is true also of the
merchant marine, the fuel, steel, food
and ether essential resources.
| "A nation whose production of war
supplies is limited by the perfidity OF
profteers or the skulking timidty OF
business slackers is a nation that has
not yet learned the first principle of
war preparedness. Trying to mObil.

Gated and difficult task. The govern
ment is exhausting every resource to
eliminate profiteering from warehous-
ing, packing, milling, jobbing, whole

BoRAH DEFENDS FARMERS


Senator Borah said on the floor of
the senate: II observe through the
press that there were a number of
people appearing before one of the
important COMMITTEES of the senate
testifying with regard to disloyalty
in different parts of the United States
One reading the report would con-
clude that the agricultural sections of
the country were saturated with dis
loyalty.
1T seems while these gentlemen
were advertising the disloyalty of the
farmers and the farmers organizations
throughout the country, the farmers
at home were engaged in putting in
their crops and subscribing for Liber-
ty Bonds"
Then we read from morning paper
a statement that the agricultural
states were leading the country in the
Liberty Bond Campaign, that Montana
and North Dakota had subscribed
more than fifty per cent beyond their
quotas. That South Dakota, rural Min
nesota and Northern Wisconsin were
gloriC usly to the front with their sub
scriptions.
North Dakota" he said, with a
touch of sarcasm, twas particularly
subject to attack by some of these
witnesses. You would suppose that
the farmers-and it is almost entirely
an agricultural state-were practi-
cally all out of sympathy with this re-
public in it's hour of peril. regard it
as libel respecting these people.
II trust that these political phari-
sees who come here with the American
flag wrapped around them to exploit
their own virtues and to decry the
virtue Of entire communities and en-
tire states will not be regarded as
voicing the real sentiments of the
American people in this war;"

Like Mother Used To Make

America is a good cook, but an
eXtrayagant one. She is apt to
throw away perfectly good food, she
is apt to make good loaf of bread
or lemon pie on one Thursday and q
poor one on the next Thursday.
When the pie or bread is good she
boasts that she never measures any
thing, when it is bad she boasts not,
neither does she apologize; she ac
cepts it as one accepts rainy day
philosophically.
But America should this day
change her habits, boast less and
measure more, and make nothing
but good bread and good pie.
\ good cook is what is known in
the artistic and literary world as a
good craftsman. And a good crafts
man in any art means an intelligent
worker who accomplished his aim
most exactly with the least effort
An artist must know his proportions
before he can correct errors and so,
too, our housekeeper must know eX-
actly what she is doing, else on one
Thursday she may make good lem
on pie and on the next a poor lemon
pie.
If you want to make potato bread
rolls like mother used to make"
don't just put in some potato, some
flour, piece of this and that, but
make them like mother used to make
them.
The following proportions will
yield one dozen small rolls:
Eight ounces (about three-quarters
cup) mashed potatoes; one and a
half cups of sifted flour, one-third
cake of compressed yeast, two table
spoons of fat, three-quarters level
teaspoonful of salt, two tablespoon
fuls of lukewarm water, two table
spoonlsfu of sugar.
Boil, peel, and mash the potatoes.
add the salt, the yeast rubbed smooth
and mixed with the water, and last
ly, two tablespoonfuls of Hour. Let
this mixture stand at a temperature
of about Sc degrees F., until a
touch will cause it to fall. Add to
this sponge the fat, the sugar, and
the remainder of the flour, and, if
necessary, enough more flour to
make a very stiff dough. Knead
thoroughly until a smooth dough,
which is no longer sticky, has been
formed. Set back to rise again, and
when the dough has trebled in vol
ume, knead lightly, form into small
balls, and place, not too close toge-
Their, in creased pans. Allow to rise
until double in volume, and bake 20
minutes in a moderately hot over,
about 400 degrees f.

Somebody's Mother

Mrs. Henry I. Dawson, treasurer
of the War Work Council of the Y.
w. C. A., tells in the current Good
Housekeeping of the practical war
work that that organization is &C
complishing. she cites the following
incident as an illustrations:
In an Illinois prairie town lives a
widow who launders seventeen bas-
kets of wash week and every night
thanks God for having put pity into
the hearts of women. To her came
one day a letter from her only son.
He was then at Camp Funston, Kan
sas, learning to be soldier. The
letter begged her to come and see
him before he was sent to France.
The mother opened the tin bank
in which she had been boarding her
dimes and quarters against this day.
The money was scarcely enough.
Nevertheless she started. She walk
ed the first eighteen miles. Then her
strength gave out, and she took a
train.
She did not know that visitors to
Camp Funston stay in Junction City,
eleven miles away. So she got Off
the train at Fort Riley. An officer
set her right and she reached juno
ton City after dark. Somehow she
found a rooming house. Some one
there stole five dollars from her
five of the previous dollars she had
earned over the washtub and saved
by walking. Terrorstricken, she
crept out of the home when no one
was looking.
Later in the night a soldier found
her trembling in the street, and took
her to the rooms of the Young Wo-
mems Christian Association, rooms
which the War Work Council had OPP
ened as clearinghouse for troubles.
The poor frightened woman was put
to bed, but she was too miserable to
sleep. The matron got up at day
break, built fire, and comforted
her The sons commanding officer
was reached by telephone early in
the morning, and the boy came to
his mother on the first trolley car he
could catch.
The two spent long, lowvoiced
hours together, perhaps the last
hours they will have this side of
heaven. Every moment was as pre-
cious as month had been last year.
The old lady had still one present
worry. The boys bad cold might
turn into pneumonia if she left him.
But she had not money enough to
stay another night and buy a ticket

THE INCOME TAX
Price Paid For Stocks or Bonds is
Tax Basis

We will say that in 1916 you bou-
ght certain stocks and bonds for S.
900, and in 1917 the value of these
securities dropped to $4,000. You
cannot claim the difference of $1,000
as a loss in computing your income
tax liability.
Under the provisions of the law,
only such losses as have actually been
sustained during the year can be
claimed; that is, the loss must have
resulted from completed and closed
transaction. In your case, you still
own the securities. They may go up
an value during 1918, and until they
are sold or otherwise disposed of you
are unable to determine whether you
will suffer a loss or derive a gain
from your investment. In other
words, no account is to be taken, for
lncome-taX purposes, of fluctuations
in the market value or arbitrary
changes in the book value of securi-
ties or other property.
NOTE-This ruling has been
modified in the case of securities
owned by brokers or other regularly
engaged in buying and selling securi-
ties. See Treasury Decision 26O9.

STATES FILLING QUOTAS
IN SHIPBUlLDERS' DRIVE
~ MARYLAND Prisoners Among The
Many Mechanics Offering 10 Enroll
In Reserve.

The drive for shipbuilders is being
continued by the Public Service Re
serve in order TO give every state a
chance to enroll its full quota. Many
of them have virtually done so al
ready; but others were delayed IN
getting started, owing TO the short
age of enrolment cards and other
printed matter This handicap has
put some OF the State directors be-
hind in their work, but they are be
ing better supplied now, and expect
to report their quotas filled inside OF
fortnight.
Illinois has exceeded its quota OF
1862. Indiana has reached the TO-
SAT apportioned to it. The State OF
Washington has enrolled its 5,906.
California has passed the 5000 mark
on the way to its goal of II, 3lO.
Massachusetts, reports more than It's
quota of 14,32I. Rhode Island has
exceeded its allotment, and Montana
promises to do likewise. New York
city reached 10000 on Saturday, and
full returns from the State are eN-
pected to show more than 10000 ac-
tually enrolled.
Of all those who have answered
the call for Shipyard volunteers, the
most unusual application was receiv-
ed by State Director Shaw, of Mary
land. Forty-two prisoners in one OF
the Maryland institutions wrote him
that they were skilled in trades used
in the shipyards, and, disclaiming any
Interior motive or suggestion that
they be released before their terms
expired, asked if some arrangement
could be made for them to devote
their ability to the country's need If
they were wanted. The spirit of pa
triotism shown in their letter indi-
Gated that their only motive was to
help the country build ships to win
the war.
Some mechanics who have enroll
ed in various parts of the country
seem disappointed that they have not
already been called for service in the
shipyards, and it is necessary for Of
ficials of the Reserve to explain again
TO them that the yards will not be
ready for large numbers of addition
al men for two OF three months, and
that the purpose of the present cam
paign is to locate the men who will
be willing and available when called.
