KICK LESS; ALSO EAT LESS.

To kick is one of our national born American privi egeS. But it is privilege sometimes OVerwOrk and abuse Too many of disposed to do that very thing with respect high prices We overlook the fact that in war high prices are inevitabe that they obtain all along the ne that they raise income well expenditure in nearly all cases except those of people who have fixed m come from securities investment. And in large class of industrial securities high prices but the reflex of great CT profit.
 Never the history Of any other war has the agency of government done so much to insure something like fair dealing with the multitude it has done in this That is true of the government of every nation engaged in war Among them a in this respect the United States government has rendered efficient service to the people as any other Perhaps it would be correct to say that it has rendered more efficient service than any other gov ernment.
 Facts are Illuminating. Suppose we consider few of them IndiSputably furnishes ncOntrOvertlble reasons for high prices In the matter of food prices be- ginning with the farmer there is increase in the cost of all material and producing equipment the rise in the price of labor of approximately Hooper cent and the difficulty of getting adequate labor even at that Going from the farmer to the distributor who buys his products from the farmer we again encounter increased cost of material and labor When this class of distributor has turned the product the retailer and the retailer sells to the public the process has to sustain an additional increased cost Added to these facts is that of traffic congeston which has the effect of eSSenng supply and the eSsened purchasing power of the dollar because at the present
 time conditions have piled up such huge volume of the worlds standard money in United States coffers. There may be and doubtless has been price imitation be- yOnd any and all of these causes-nfatiOn due to the greed of gain but it will be admitted upon examination of the record that the government has pretty effectuay drawn the sting of that sort of profiteering.
 In the instance of flour prices we have an iustra tOn of how the government extracted the speculative sting Last summer $16 and little better the record high price and there was talk of $2O flour But instead
The Seward gateway daily edition, and the Alaska weekly post., 1918-02-15

of s2O flour the price is now at half that figure, and the lid is clamped down so tightly speculative imitation that there is no chance to pry it off, m
 One other instance that of sugar will serve su1Ilc ieno to elaborate the point During the Civil War; Wtn no sugar shortage the price went to 30 cents poun ana T Rabst than whom there is no better informed on
 conditions, declares that if it had not been for the restraining hand of federal food administration we no" would be paying that price for our sweetenmg'
 It is not only our right, but it is our duty to KICK agans high prices where have reason to oeeVe they are due to proteerng But we should not waste energy spoil our tempers and vitiate our loyalty by uhwarraea kicking over conditions which war has imposed ana '3' can not be avoided.

ARGENTINE HAS
 TURNED DOWN A GERMAN REQUEST

BUENOS AIRES, Feb. h. - The Argentine Government has received a note from the German government protesting against the confinement of Count von Luxburg, former German minister to Argentina, to hospital ,ontending this is a continuation ot ois detention on the Island of Martin Garcia.
 Germany admits the justice of the detention of von LuXburg on the isl md for punishment for leaving Buen- )s Aires without permission, but ar rues there is no excuse for cOntin- lance of a guard at the hospital.
 In reply the Argentine government aas transmitted to Berlin certificates of physicians, asserting t is absolute lv necessary to keep von LuXblrg closely guarded until he is able to leave Argentina, because of his men tai condition.
 The German note also requests the Argentine government to recognize as Charge D'Affaires ad interim Sec rotary Count Donhoff, of the Germa'' legation, until a successor to von Luxburg has been appointed.
 Argentina also refuses this request and declines to permit Donhoff to con tinue to act as Secretary of Legation, maintaining that all legation em- ployes lost their official status when vor LuAburg was given his passports

Once again we are confronted by a
treatise on lawn tennis from the busy

that stormy petrol OF the lawn tennis
and golf world, whose criticisms on
these games and their strokes have

of youth, we had the temeri:y to crit

Major Belmont

No man in the United States is bet
ter qualified 10 speak on the thorough
bred and the conditions which make
for his development than Major Au-
gust Belmont, who for many wears has
bred and raced horses in England aud
France as we'll as in this country, his
nursery stud in Kentucky being the
birthplace of many famous perform
ers. Among the most noted Of these
are Jracery, and Fair Play, the former,
which raced exclusively abroad, being
regarded as the best horse of his day
IN England. where he is now 1nucn
sought after in the stud by the most
progressive breeders.
what he has to say on the question
OF acclimatization is antagonistic to
the opinion expressed recently by DR..
NJ. M. Leach, who, while he favored the
importation Of sires and brood mare .,
maintained thst it was a mistake to
BRING III oreignbred horses older than
