i OFF HOGS.

Just the other day some ingenious scientist submit.
ted a formula for stimulating a pigs appetite. which
struck many dispassionate people as a rather superhu-
Gus proceeding. And now comes the Department Of Ag-
riculture with a scheme for keeping pigs cool in sum.
mer time It is said to be the product OF the brain Of
a swine extension man" in Mississippi.
Around the pg-sty, or in the hog lot if you haven
any sly, You build a frame and cover it with burlap.
Then you put a big pan or tub Of water on top of the
frame. with burlap +wicks' sticking in the water and
hanging over the sides. The idea IS that the wicks draw
out the water and distribute it slowly through the whole
burlap covering. and the evaporation of this moisture
results in a GOODNESS for which the hog is duly grateful.
Very likely a little cooling of is good for hogs. 1.
Is certainly Just as good for people. Wherefore We
mildly wonder why some government expert doesn't fig
ure out a scheme to cool peoples houses.

Henry saw a great light. Now, have it, he ex

WHO'S TO BLAME FOR HIGH PRICES.

Henry White got tired Of living in a nat and decided
70 go to the suburbs. He had plans drawn for a bunga-
low and got a price of $4,000 from a contractor. Then
along came the war and Henry postponed building.
When the armistlce was signed Henry went TO the con
tractor and said: Well, you may go ahead now with
the house" But the contractor demanded $4,000 for the
Job.
This started Henry on an investigation of the
causes Of prevailing high prices and be tried to track
the mystery down.
The contractor blamed most Of the increase in his
quotations on higher material costs. Then Henry went
to the maker of bricks. The brickmaker passed the
buck. Higher labor and fuel costs he said. Next
Henry went to the lumber man High wages he was
told. added to high stumpage costs and increased
freight charges" The hardware man and the cement
manufacturers explanations were about the same as
the others
Well said Henry. forgetting for a moment that

ADVERTISING AND LOCATION.

The store in a less desirable location which adver-
tises has il on its neighbor in a better location which
does not advertise. Advertising is the crux of business
Let's look at a town where the advertising done is an
inconsequental quantity:
In a non-advertising town. the easy going merchant
would live a comfortable life unless he spoiled his peace
of mind by cherishing ambitions If he kept a clean look
ing store. in a good location, he would get his share of
the trade. Business would 20 by luck and chance and
personal friendship and habit.
The store that had the best location would get the
most trade. People would buy at the store where they
could save the most steps. They would not 90 around
a corner to get better values. because they would not
know those values we're there.
Retail trade would come down TO a dead level OF
uniformity. A man who did his best and gave good
values would be pretty sure of a meager living. But
there would be no chance for him to get ahead. He
could not get any public support to back him Up wher
he showed a spirit Of enterprise.

BY HORACE II. HERR.

1t is noticeable in Washington
that criticism Of the war department
for it's alleged slowness in settling
war contracts no longer is being
tossed about since Sec'y OF War
Baker appeared before the COVER
nors' and mayors conference and
explained the nature Of the task and
what had been done TO handle it.
Quite naturally, perhaps, the news
papers which most have criticized
the secretary OF war, made no effort
TO print his statement OF the facts.
but even those ola critical turn of
mind in the conference. agreed there
was nothing TO get excited about
after Secy Baker had informed his
hearers as to what was going on.
The Secretary's opening remarks
clearly showed that while some
critics charged the army was being
demObolized too rapidly and without
due regard for the effect of demob-
ilization on the labor and industrial
situation, others were making caus-
tic remarks because the boys were
not getting home fast enough. In

EDITORS NOTE.

The howl about slow work
settling contracts began on the
part OF some big fellows who
tried To rush the government I'm
q quick settlement i'm which the
government would have paid the
face OF contracts regardless OF
service rendered and the big fell
low would have made "A pot full
OF money. Failing i'm this, these
interests aided by republican
leaders, have wagcd a newspaper
campaign trying TO make IL ap-
pear that there has been un-
usual and inexcusabi bic delays. A.
a matter OF fact there has been
more speed than any one had
right TO expect and the govern
mcnt through the war depart
mcnt has been saved more money
than we had "A right TO expect
Delay. IL there has been any, was
due To- legislation I'm congress
and for that delay republican
senators and house members

other things:
Department Great Industry.
The war department absorbed
the major part OF the manufacture
ing facilities OF the country. The
millions, the billions OF dollars
which were appropriated by congress
for tho war departments expendi-
lures was so vast, so entirely unpre-
cedented in our history as a nation.
that practically all OF the industrial
facilities OF the country were absorb
ed I'm the war department manufac-
ture. and too the labor Of the coun-
try was absorbed in the war de-
partment. so far as il was not al
ready taken up in the active fighting
forces So the war de-
partment is interested in now unroll-
ing the vast and intricate mass of
war industry which was organized
in the period of active hostilities.
I'm addition to that, of course, the
war department has a very direct
and personal interest in this: that
every soldier who fought in the
army Of the United States, whether
he was abroad or here. should have
job.
1T is TO me, as I am sure II is to
you. entirely unthinkable that any
man whose industry or profession
or career was interrupted. that any
man who was called out of college
or out Of his apprenticeship in in
dustry, and went into our forces
either the forces training on this side
or the fighting forces on the other
side, should come back to a country
which his efforts have preserved and
find such a lack of hospitality IN his
reception that he would be unable to

Huge Outstanding Contracts.
Now. it occurs TO me that it may
/ be interesting to you to have some
hasty knowledge, because it is too
vast and intricate to give TO you in
detail, and figures are difficult 10
carry in mind, TO have some illus
trative figures of the situation in
which we found ourselves on the
18th Of November.
when the armistice was signed
there were outstanding some seven
/ billion dollars of contracts in the
war department. The signing of the
armistice made it. of course, obvi-
Gus that a very large part of the war
material thus under contract would
not be needed, and the first question
which the war department had to
/ face was that of the cancellation OF
these contracts. Many of the con-
