You don't suppose, do you, if cheese were once more offered for sale at a price which made it cheaper than any form of meat. that it would stand begging on the counter?
 People who have to consider their pennies wouldn't refuse to spend them for cheese, if cheese were so cheap that they could save money by buying it, instead of steak.
 If people who know have to pay thirty-fve or thirty-six or thirty eight cents q pound for cheese could get two pounds for the same money, they q generally take the two pounds as a measure of simple domestic economy, and make at least one pound of it take tle place of a pound of meat
 How long does. any one suppose ii would require to reduce that "glut' iii New York state storehouses? How long before the cheese which is now half scared to death for fear it's going to be wasted would be in cir i'culation and in masticatfon and the cheese factories. getting hurry calls tc meet the increased demand

(Written Specially for The Bulletin.)
 There have been, many very re- markabie things, published during the last year about many very remark able events. Not only abroad but at home. Not only in the arena of arms but in the fields of production and trade.
 I think the most astonishing thing have seen printed for a dogs age was in a recent issue of The New York Times.
 Headed in big, black letters MILK PRODUCTS. GLUT STATE STORE i HOUSES" the article went on to tell how, at recent meeting of the state Farms, and Markets Council attention was called to the great ac- cumulation of condensed and evap- orated milk. cheese: and butter in storehouses, and it was recommended l that the Farms and Markets Council request the Federal Government to take. over this surplus for shipment abroad The recommendation was I approved"
 Subsequently the same matter was
 presented to the State Food Com
 mission Ct is very soothing to ob- serve the number of councils" and 1 Commissions, etc. which have to be consulted and debate such matters!
 and this commission authorized Chairman Mitchell with two com
 missioners from the Farms and Mar 1 kets Council, to go to Washington land have hearing" before an As i sistant Secretary of War so as to
 reach some decision which will re- lieve the situation" Meanwhile "The l enormous stock of milk products in | New York State will be wasted unless
 the Federal authorities find some inn
 mediate avenue of release" My cow has been dry for several
 weeks back. When she is attending to
 business and filling the milk pail, she provides. all we need for home con sumption of butter, cream, milk and cottage cheese But when she's dry though. we can depend on laid down butter to carry us through the inter
 val, we can't get cream for the coffee nor sour milk to make cottage cheese So we buy condensed or evaporated milk and store" cheese to tide over with.
 I found that had to pay eighteen cents for the same can of milk whicf
 I used to pay for nine cents: an6 thirty five cents a pound for cheese no better than I have frequently bought in the last ten years for fifteer Tor. sixteen cents.
 At the same time when these exor.
 bitant. prices are hing exacted iron

 nous stock" of both reported on hant

MILK PRODUCTS HELD UP FOR PROFITS

tude of inventive ingenuity, find some immediate avenue of release.
 And it's taking a. 'Eouncil'' and a Commission and a journey to Wash ington and the, mental sweat and travail of the Assistant Secretary of War and a lot of assistants to his Assistanttship, volunteer and other wise, to sleuth out this sorely needed avenue of release!'
 There used to be, in the ancient times, such a thing as a law of de- mand and supply.
 According to it, when there was a l big demand for any product, supply was stimulated until the demand was satisfied. If. in this process pro- duction chanced to overstep demand, 1 then prices fell till the, balance was restored. When there wasn't enough to go round. prices went up. just as l they do at an auction when three bidders want the same one thing When there was too much on hand, prices went down, just as they do at l the same auction when three identical pieces are offered and there's. only one ] bidder in the crowd who wants one. l Perhaps that law has been repealed. I haven't heard of the repeal, and l don't happen to know of any authority. elective, hereditary. or appointive who 1 has been delegated with power to re- peal it.
 Nevertheless, it doesn't seem to be | considered as operative in this milk products situation.
 Cheese is one of the most valuable and serviceable foods Tn the world Most people can eat it in iudicious aIY1OupfS and nnOnIa 1i1sa It is an admirable substitute for meat and other scarce food materials. Ii would have been eaten during the past wheatless and meatless year, and would be eaten much more freely than
 it is had not it's price been boosted simultaneously with the pTicess oi meat etc. till the people who cant afford meat found they couldn't afford
 cheese, either.
 also, there are thousands of fam lilies who find the condensed or eyap- orated milks a convenient substitute for fresh milk. They, also have beer
 thereof by the high price.
 And yet, at this very time. these
 very milk products so 'glut'' the
 storehouses of si neighboring dairy state that the national government is appealed to, frantica1ly, to do some
 thing to save them from being
 wasted!
 Ncw, there needn't be a pound o
 cheese nor can of milk wasted,
 nor need there be any government in
 terference to save the situation Al
 that is required is that the usual ant efficient law of supply and demand bt allowed to work its perfect work. 1 There is a big an almost, uniVeTsa

demand for cheese and condensed milk That demand has been re- stricted, dimished, cut down by the ex- scessive cost of the articles involved to the consumer. He can't buy them because he can't afford to, at their present prices.
 The natural and manifest remedy is to reduce the prices till consumers find it not only possible but economi- cal again to buy them in normal quan- tity sN

 ernment to take the unprofitable crop off his hands. He wasn't doing it for several reasons, one of which was that this sort of thing isn't govern ment's business.
 His zealous patriotism had led him to produce more potatoes than the actual needs of the situation called for. The market, in it's usual inn personal and wholly unfeeling fashion, had hit him over the head with it's low price elub,-and hit him hard He was taking his medicine as cheer fully as he could and,-here's the glorious part of the story,-actually planning to raise just as many more potatoes, the present season, sat the clear risk of an even greater loss! Simply because he is 100 per cent American, and minus no per cent Profiteer!

Here's a whole country hungry for cheese which it can't afford except as a rare luxury. in baby bites; and a great state with it's storehouses "glutted" with that very cheese which the holders won't sell at price which makes wide selling possible.
 And the sorely pressed government is being widely appealed to to take the "glut' off their hands,-at theil price, doubtless-in order to save ii from being 'wasted!n Oh rats!-Perhaps I ought to ex- claim Oh, hogs.

'Yes, yes,' perhaps some may say: "but the milk and the labor and the other things which go into the making of cheese have all gone up so in price that the cheesemakers can't afford to offer it at the old prices, any more You don't want them compelled to sell it at less than it casts them to produce, do you?"
 Why, no; you and I don't want to
 see anybody compelled to work fol nothing or at a loss.
 l But the law of supply and demand and the customs of the marketplace
 take small notice of what you and l want in other matters even more 1 closely involving our own interests l Why should their action be suspended
 in the case of cheese, etc.?

Yet, if you'll tell me why govern nent should be hysterically appealed to on behalf of cheese producers to enable them to sell their excessive l product at profit, and why it shouldn't equally protect my potato growing neighbor from loss,-if you'll tell me that, you'll tell me what is the difference between Tweedledum and Tweedledee, and why sauce for l the goose is NOT sauce for the gander.
