the corporation officials have taken the
indications so seriously that already
they have let contracts for the explora-

Why Food Remains High.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Referring to an article in recent
issue of The Star, I would ask, VINO
wants ancient sauer kraut? don't.
Like the Investigations. this item gets
nowhere. 1t is not true that there Is
no call for cheaper grades and cuts.
The trouble is that they are not OBJ
tainable where wanted. or have been
the subject of worse profiteering than
the more expensive. Salt or smoked
herring, once cent apiece, bring ~
to 35 cents a pound at the market
when I have asked. The cheap grades
of potatoes are too high in price to
be purchasable by those who formerly
used them. Why don't you tell US
where these bargains can be OBJ
tanned instead of putting forth the
hot air of some unidentifiable dealer?
can tell you one reason why
prices don't fall where plenty exists.
Because the plenty is held at high
prices and the residue of the days
offerings dumped in the cutters at
the markets, instead of being made
available for the poorer customers.
I have seen a plenty of good food
wasted at the markets by the pro
ducers," who make enough now on
half the stuff they bring in, so that
they don't bother about selling the
rest when the market Is SLOW, Dut
dump it and go home. The pro
ducers' here have their own silent or
ganization, silent as respects adver-
Using, but not silent when prices are
being arranged on the market line
where the public is supposed to bene-
fit by competition, but which simply
enables a dealer to obtain a location
at a low rate when he needs it. thus
saving the rent the regular grocer has
to pay.
The public is becoming convinced
that the liars in the business extend
from producer to consumer and in
clude the former. The facts as noted
by the housekeeper do not match the
figures given by either dealers or the
Investigators. the latter of which ex-
list and move entirely too far from
the subject which they are investi-
eating.
Their experiences with prices are
on paper rather than practical. To
them a cent is an immaterial matter
To be sure several cents make a MIC
KEEL, etc. But why should they worry?
Most investigators draw down pretty
stiff pay for finding out for them
selves something that their washer
woman has reduced to an exact sci
ence w. e. ALLEN.

asked to renew his membership or

Saving Wood

Old Wilhelm's busy saving

to care a whoop what factions

and there all day the sawdust

pied arm, he has shriveled,
helpless paw; and l would give
an upland farm to know just
how he yields saw. I'm saw

how this king, who's lost his
throne and jeweled hat, this
relic with a crippled wing-how
can he pull such stunts as that?
For days I've piled a saw and

COME BACK HAS SOLICITORS.
They Work IN This City and Garry
: Proper Credentials.

The Come Back. the soldier news
paper published in the interests of the
soldier patients at Walter Reed Army
General Hospital. in an announcement
published recently telling of swim
dlers mulcting residents of southern
cities through fake subscriptions, an
nounced that it has no solicitors in
the south. This was misunderstood
in certain quarters here as meaning
that the Come Back has no solicitors
whatsoever.
In another announcement the
Come Back now makes it plain that
it has four authorized subscription
solicitors actively at work in this
city. Each of them, however, is
armed with credentials in writing
bearing the signature of the business
manager. In addition there are mem
bers of the Red Cross manifesting
their usual interest in the paper and
they. of course, need no written Gre
dentials.
The Come Back sets forth that it
is making every proper effort to in
crease it's circulation to at least
100000 weekly, and hopes to attain
that goal in the very near future.

Tobacco and Sugar.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
read with interest K. Stockman's
pathetic letter in The Star Of August S
about her inability to secure sugar for
preserving. Is there not distinct con-
nection between the scarcity of sugar
and the enormous waste of land and
money in tobacco? I know SO many
estimable men who smoke that feel a
decided reluctance in suggesting this.
being referred to generally, I Would
quote from page 81, chapter VII, on
Tobacco and the War; as follows:
'1n this connection let us add that TO-
600, 900 pounds of sugar were used in the
manufacture Of tobacco last year. and
yet the country was conserving sugar!'
believe the majority of smokers have
not given the matter much thought and
that many smoke excessively merely
from force Of habit. CORA L. SMELL.
