Corn and Pork.

Every wage Garner, every house.
wife who makes up a weekly budget
for family meals and has for many
months eliminated therefrom every
form Of pork, will eagerly watch re-
ports Of a declining price Of corn.
Market experts In Chicago and other
large food supply centres have agreed
upon a table Of relative values to ap-
ply In determining what should be-
alas, not always what is!-the price
Of hogs.
Taking dollar corn as one unit Of
value to be considered, hogs should
sell to the packers, experts say, for
ten cents pound, measuring the hog
price in Chicago by the corn price in
the principal corn producing States.
Response to the market formula Is
not prompt, however. In Chicago re-
Gently. with corn selling below s1.15
a bushel, there was "keen demand"
in the market for hogs at from $3.50
to $3.50 instead Of S11.5O a hun
dred pounds.
But the trade price experts are not
theorists, so there is hope, when the
price response comes in due time,
that with peace and dollar corn a
roast Of pork may reappear on tables
long deprived Of that dellcacy.

COTTAGE CHEESE.
Care and Cleanliness Are Essential In

We always had cottage cheese on the
table.
This was made as Mrs. Smith has

the sour milk IS heated. If it Is heated
too long tho curd grows tough and is
unpleasant. My mother strained II in a

washing very thoroughly in spring water

acid. Tho curd Is then mixed with salt.
pepper and sweet cream. It makes a
dish At for the gods.
This curd can be bought in the Easton
market, but varies greatly as to quality,
which is mostly very poor.
Many farmers wives are very care
less and deficient in cleanliness, which

The attention which has been called
to this excellent and nutritious food is

President WILSON is not different
from other men; to all the plaudits
OF the crowd, expressions Of sincere
enthusiasm spontaneously uttered by
their fellow citizens, are welcome.
They ease the way for one sorely
burdened, inspire the patriot to new
efforts. And Mr. WILSON was nobly
cheered here yesterday.
But what value would President
WILSON put on the cheers of any
man. however strong his voice, whose
manifestation of patriotism stopped
when his breath gave out? What
would be his opinion of a community
that gave lip service to him, but
failed the cause he personifies in the
minds Of all?'
Cheers for WOODROW WILSON with
out dollars for Liberty bonds mean
less than nothing. They are the
cheap camoufiage of patriotism that
Is not skin deep. For Mr.. WILSON

The City Budget.

In the municipal campaign Of last
year Tammany candidates for Office
and Tammany orators generally had
much to say of the ''extravagance'
and waste" Of the Mitchell admins
tration, and the alleged unnecessary
burden laid on the public in the city
budget. We now have the tentative
budget for 1919, the first prepared
by the Hylan administration, and
It's total is $6,3o0,oOO greater than
that of the budget finally adopted for
this year by the fusion Board of Es-
innate. That is, instead Of fulfilling
their promises to reduce the cost of
governing New York, the Tammany
administration has been obliged to
increase it, and though the Comp.
troller hopes the tax rate next year
Will be lower than this year, It must
be borne in mind that not the rate,
but the amount, of taxes is what con-
Germs the property owner.
The fact is. and everybody familiar
with the growth and the government
Of New York knows 1t, that as the
city grows its fixed charges and its
running expenses become higher. The
city is affected by higher cost of llv-
Ing exactly as an individual is: it
must buy vast quantities Of supplies
Of all kinds, 1t employs thousands Of
workers; 1t must meet emergencies
by assuming new duties or extending
old services; and the demands made
on 1t are constantly increasing. The
history Of the city is a tale Of con-
stantly rising expenditures, regard
less Of the personnel Of the admins
tratlon; in only three Of the twenty
one years for which final budgets
have been adopted has there been
decrease from the preceding years
figures. The figures for the twenty
one final budgets and the present ten
tatlve budget should be studied by
those who like to believe political
stump speakers promising great saw
ings in expenses:

"A. E. F."
An Interesting Detail Of Our Compll-
Gated War Work.

To THE EDITOR OF TIE suN-Sir: MIR,
Zimmerman asks the meaning OF A. +.
F., and while I think he means II, in
part at least, as a joke. it may not be
amiss to say that when used by our
Government in marking packages for
France it means American Expedition
airy Force"
These letters are placed in triangle
on each box intended for overseas ship
ment. and the position OF this triangle
In relation to other markings enables
tho depot men TO tell at a glance tho
destination OF the package, thus saw
ing valuable time in handling.
I wish It was possible to tell the
readers OF THE Sun other facts that
would warm the hearts OF every true
American and encourage him to dig
down in his pocket for the price of an
other bond, but this is all for the
present INSPECTION.

The rejoinder from Berlin, as re.
ported this morning by way Of q
German wireless station, has not yet
Official status. Assuming mat 1t rep.
resents the documents transmitted To
President WILSON through the Swiss
Legation, these things are TO be con.
sidered:

the voice speaking from. Berlin is
not the voice Of the criminals respon-
sible for the war; responsible for the
violation Of treaty faith which has
attended the wars political manage
ment; responsible for the lorrid
atrocities of its military history.
With them, said the President in his
latest definition Of attitude, we have
no common language and can have no
thought in common, for they are
devoid of honor.
The question then which leaps into
insistent prominence is what radical
change in the governmental system
Of the German Empire is denoted by
tho domestic processes described to
President WILSON as tho result OF
conferences" approved, It is said. by
q majority Of the Reichstag. What
are the credentials Of the voice now
speaking?
A satisfactory credential would be
the announcement Of the Kalser's alb
dication and tire renunciation of sue
cession by those who follow in the
line Of his discredited dynasty. Are
the criminal Hchenzollerns and the
criminal Junkers superseded or to
be superseded by authorities meeting
the Presidents vital condition; quail
fed to his satisfaction and to the
satisfaction Of the allied Powers of
civilization to speak for a German
people honestly seeking a way to
peace! Or are the conferences and
the alleged but uncertifed concur

no more than a form Of camoufiage
for that autocracy of militarfsm with
which FocH and HALO and PERsH1No
are dealing in the field? The note
as reported does not supply the
needed information as to this. I'm
less the President has information
through other channels we can read
lily imagine what his answer must be.
All other questions, such as whether
there is real difference between the
already rejected acceptance of the
Presidents general terms as basis
for negotiation" and their accept.
ance for discussion Of the "applica-
ton" Of those terms, such as the
institution of an armistice permitting
the unmolested evacuation Of Belgian
and French and Russian and Serbian
territory. are secondary and subordl-
nate to this.
At present one can see that a peace
Of victory. a peace of Justice and
security for the future; n peace meet
ing the requirements and repaying
the measureless sacrifices of the ma
tons associated with the United
States in this war of wars, is nearer
Than human precedence could have

for peace is growing by geometrical
progression. -.
