 Through it's wide representation in other countries the Exchange will make it's proposition known to every buyer before he sails for America and acquaint him with the value of the service of the new enterprise, while in the United States and Canada the fact that the building is so well known leaves no doubt that it will be the mecca of thousands of domestic dealers and jobbers.

FOOD PRICES NOW AND IN FUTURE.

The cattlemen of the west and southwest are
getting something like one fourth less for their
Eproduct, beef on the hoof, than they received
three months ago. 1t is stated that the whole
sale prices made by the packers have been seal
led down somewhat. But here the reduction
fades out and disappears. 1t does not reach the
consumer who is paying as much for roasts and
steaks and chops as in time of war. The depart
ment OF agriculture is going to look into the
matter; and the chairman of the senate commit
tee on agriculture promises an investigation of
the entire question of food cost-neat wheat,
sugar and other stuffs. Senator Capper, of
Kansas, holds the packers largely responsible
for the meat troubles of the country; and Secre-
tary Houston seems to think that part of the
blame is theirs for he recommends continual
ton of wartime supervision of the wholesale
meat markets.
These promised Investigations will suffice to
build hope upon and ''the miserable as has
been said, "have no other medicine than hope. -
ct people who look with rosy optimism for the
price of anything to go down as the result Of
these inquiries, while they are envied for their
cheerful temperaments, appear to have learned
little by experience. The whole price structure
OF this country and the rest of the civilized
world has been lacked up and propped by the
unexampled waste and destruction of the last
five years; and it is quite conceivable that con
dltlons cannot return to normal until the old
pre-war surplus of wealth has been approx
mately restored by frugality, economy and toll.

OUR FOREIGN ARMY.

President Wilson's statement to press repre-
sentatives that it will be necessary for us to
keep an army in Germany until that nation has
complied with the military requirements OF the
treaty need occasion no surprise, will it with
thinking people Germany has still a great mil
itary potential in men and supplies; until these
are reduced to the military standard set by the
peace treaty, it is the business OF the allies to
maintain strong military force IN the field and
it is difficult to justify refusal on the part OF
this nation to do its part. There should be lit
tie difficulty in obtaining the recruits needed
for this service if indeed there are not sufficient
troops already available The recruiting of
fees report that constant inquiry is made
whether there will be opportunity for foreign
service and that promise of overseas service
would double the number of enlistments. We
know the history of our marine corps; it has at
tracted by reason of its opportunity for foreign
service some of the best of our military recruits

chanics: Just at present the sheep
herder's lot is fairly happy one. He
gets 500 a month besides his ex
penses, and one never can see his
sheep wagon without wanting to leave
civilization for few months and
take to the range. 1t is the most
compact dwelling house on wheels
that has ever been devised. For utili.
zing all possible space it can give les
sons even to dining car or sail
boat. 1t is dining car and sleeping
car in one, and historically forms a
permanent link between western pio-

days when the sheep wagon is used
only to follow the herd during the
winter and spring, until it disappears

only a saddle horse can penetrate,

covered space serves as a bedroom
containing nothing but bed, to
which air is supplied by sliding glass
windows in the rear end of the

folding table, and under it are small
drawers and large bin to contain
the herders' supply of flour and grain.

Cedar Rapids Republican: The
president is trying to throw few
scares into the people in the hope that
they will in turn be able to scare their
senators. But the soaring Is about
played out. There have been too
many Of them and too many of them
have been merely false alarms.

without partisan or racial or sectional
bias, until he arrives at a conclusion
which satisfies him, and which he is
prepared to explain and defend. II
this Is done there need be no doubt
about the nation deciding rightly, and
the senate registering that decision.
Marshalltown Times Republican:
Perhaps that hiatus between packer
prices on hoof and wholesale and re-
tail prices is another utilization Of the
by products.
Des Moines Capital: The people are
thinking more kindly of the Rookie
fellers than formerly. They have
learned that they are human. Most OF
all, they are thanking the Rockefellers
for not raising the price of gasoline
to so cents gallon. This would have
been done had the Standard Oil com
pany been in the hands Of 500 or 1,0OO
reformers. When the price of other
things is considered, the price Of Oil
has been kept within reason.
Vinton Eagle: The American Fed
Grafton of Labor advocates an eight
hour day on the farm. Put that into
effect in the world even now, and
100, 900, 900 people would starve to
death before Christmas. But at that
the farm worker Is just as much en-
titled to eight hours as any other class
of workers.
Eldora Ledger: Most anyone would
be willing to be put to sleep with
punch from Mr.. Dempsey If he could
get 100000 for the job, as Willard
did A black eye and a tooth or two
less, can easily be treated with
bunch of $4,000 bills.
Cedar Rapids Republican: When
man sells his farm and invests the
money in government bonds he has to
pay on his computed profit since 1913
an income tax that will stagger some
who have not stopped to consider this
drawback to the present real estate
boom in the country. We cannot say
that we regard that iAcome tax as
Just. The man who sells his farm and
buys government bonds is not making
money. He is simply changing the
form of his investment. The whole
transaction is simply changing the
form OF bit of invested capital. What
the farm earns in rent and crops, that
is the proper earning to tax, but the
other is not.
