Both extremely high and low
prices should be. guarded against by
the food administration IN dealing
with the pork situation, the report
says, for IF prices should go SO
high as to curtail consumption AT
home and abroad, the Sterilization
of prices during the next winter
would likely fail, with disaster to
the producer. On the other hand,
it must be recognized that the costs
of production are necessarily great

production fair returns must be as

In fixing definite price basis
from month to month, the report
says, hog prices should be based on
the average farm value of corn,
the general corn figures being de-
termined by prices in the eight lead

months preceding the month in
which the hogs are marketed.

THOSE GERMAN RETREATS.

1t is almost ludicrous to notice the
efforts put forth by the German
to boster up the failing
morale of their troops.
One of the hardest jobs these pub
LEGATIONS have recountered is in try
ing to explain the almost precipitate
retreat of the German forces on the
western front
One Of these AYERS that the en-
tente and American troops have
failed to break through any portion
of the German line; it is because that
part of the German line has been
drawing back so rapidly that it re-
quires great bursts of speed on the
part of the opposing forces to catch
up with it.
have proved themselves hypnotized
by their military masters.
Yet even a German should have
enough glimmering of sense left to
realize that the hasty retreat of the
kaiserite forces through the terri
tory over which they only few
many thousands Of soldiers, is GER
tainly not any sort of action that in
dictates a winning campaign for the
kaiser or tactical strengthe OF
position for the Germans

The Price We Pay.

faces rsoP saddened 1 by the loss se Of boys
who have died for their country are
beginning to appear. We shall see
more and more around us those Who WI
are suffering for our ;sakes; The
great majority of us will go through
this war without anything worse
than taxes and sugar shortages and
wheat saving and some business
losses. AS soon as the wal. is over
we shall forget all about it. But
there will be plenty Of others who
While we recover our normal ways
of living and again enjoy the good
things Of this world. they will strug-
gle on, trying to bear the loss that
they had to meet for our sakes.
We owe debt to these suffering
families that can never be paid. II
there are any little things we can DO
rendered them. We should take
pains to show them attentions to, re-
iieye their loneliness, and help them
to recover their poise. If such peo-
pie need business aid Of any kind,
their friends and nelghbors should
have their interests in mind, and try
to give them any assistance IN their
power.
The world has advanced because
of the willingness of people to die
that their children and their friends
and their community shall have the
blessings of freedom. We must be-
lieve that this suffering is compen-
stated. Those who suffer finally at
tain a strength of character that en-
ables them to rise above heartaches
and to feel satisfaction in what they
have given. In some happier world;
where war is done away with and
all souls live at peace, the hero will
come to his reward
