REPORT PRICES DROPPING.
Federal Reserve Board Announces Re
action from War Prices.

Washington. - Reaction from the
high price level established during
the wal has set in, says the federal
reserve boards review Of business
conditions in August,
Not only are some foodstuffs declin-
ing in cost to the consumer, but the
price Of wearing apparel, such as tex-
tiles and shoes, also have been affect
ed, the review says. Business contin.
ues at IAN extremely high level" and
confidence of a satisfactory solution
OF the wage and price problems was
reported from all sections of the coun-
try.
"The agricultural outlook" the re-
port says, on the whole is distinctly
less favorable than a month ago, al
though the large acreage sown in GER
tain cases will compensate for de-
creased yield per acre. Cotton In par
ticular is in poor condition.
"Refiecting the feeling of uncertain
ty which prevails, the volume OF spec
ulation has abated and declines in the
price of securities have occurred. The
general business situation, however, is
at bottom strong"
Discussing labor conditions, the
board recorded that reports from the
majority of districts indicate the stu.
alton as unsettled"

Not Due to a Quarrel.

The controversy finally was referred
10 the president at Paris. No formal
announcement OF the result was made,
but soon afterward the board was dis
solved and Mr.. Hines proceeded to
buy steel for the railroad administra-
tion in the open market on competi-
tive bids. Mr.. Redfield, however, de-
MED that his resignation was the re-
suit Of friction between himself and
other administration officials.
MY resignation" he said, lis not
the result of any quarrel, disagree
ment, chagrin or any other unpleasant
occurrence, but is caused solely and
entirely by my desire to return to bust
ness and give my attention once more
to my personal affairs, which for more
than eight years have been subordi-
mated to the public interests"
Mr.. Redfield is the sixth man to
leave the cabinet during the six years
Of President Wilson's administration.

Action Not a Surprise.

Announcement Of Mr.. Redfeld's res
ignation did not come as a surprise.
Since his disagreement with Director
General Of Railroads Hines regarding
prices for steel several months ago,
1t has beer almost common gossip that
he contemplated early retirement from
the presidents cabinet.
President Wilson was in Europe
when Mr.. Redfeld, with the approval
OF the executive, set up a board to
agree on fair prices for necessities
with a view to stimulating production.
Mr.. Hines refused to accept the price
for steel agreed upon between the
board and the industry, contending
that it was too high.

SAW MERIT IN TRANSACTIONS
James Russell Lowell Pointed Out
How They Come to Serve a Very
Definite Purpose.

I would have public library
abundant in TRANSACTIONS of the best
books in all languages, fore though no
work of genius can be adequately
translated yet some acquaint-
ance with ancient and foreign litera-
lures has the liberalizing effect of for
e4gn travel. He who travels by trans
lation travels more hastily and SUI
perficially, but brings home something
that is worth having, nevertheless.
Looked at from any but the
esthetic point of view, TRANSACTIONS re-
tain whatever property was in their
originals TO enlarge, liberaliZe, and re-
fine. At the same time | would also
have the originals of these translated
books as a temptation to the study or
languages, which has a special use and
importance of it's own in teaching US
to understand the nicetieS of our
mother tongue. The practice of trans
lation, by making us deliberate in the
choice of the best equivalent of the
foreign word in our own language, has
likewise the advantage of continually
schooling us in one of the main ele-
ments of good style-precision and
precision of thought is not only exem-
plified by precision of language, but
is largely dependent on the habit OF
it.-Lowell.

PUMPKIN PIE ALWAYS GOOD
Therefore Observer Wants to Know
Why 1t Has Not Been Served in
the Springtine.

\ mere man asked me the Othe. day,
"Why doesn't the housewife make
pumpkin pies III the spring when fresh
eggs are cheapest?" Why, indeed?
The fact is we are creatures of
habit, and are inclined to follow ira
ditions in our cooking. Our fOremoth-
ers made pumpkin pies in the fall be-
cause the pumpkins are ripe at that
time. She continued the pies through
the cold weather as long as she could
keep pumpkins in her cool cellar.
Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners
always included pumpkin pie. The
pumpkin suppl" was exhausted about
kin pies were possible until the next
autumn.
Times have changed. Now we have
the pumpkin in sanitary cans all ready
for the pie, and we can use it at any
tine we please. Pumpkin takes the
place of fruits, which are already
scarce as time goes on.
The sprngtime is the time for pump
kin pies-eggs and milk are then most
plentiful, and therefore cheap. 1t is
the time for custards. Our grandmoth-
ers established that custom, too. Pump
kin pie is after all a custard in which
the pumpkin pulp predominates, there
fore belongs by right in the spring
and summer.
This is just one more instance in
which we should drop the traditions
which are Outgrown and adopt GUS
TOM suited to our times.
Our family is sure TO be surprised
to find the luscious pumpkin pie served
for dessert, and undoubtedly like
Oliver Twist, it will ask for more
Exchange.

Lettuce Grown on Field Scale.

Lettuce is being grown on field
scale in the Imperial and Salt River
valleys of California, fields of from
so to 40 acres being not extraordinary.
At the height of the production season
January and February-it is not I'M
common for &c carloads of lettuce
day to be shipped TO the middle west
ern and eastern market. This lettuce,
grown under irrigation, is produced by
hand labor and is of extra fine quality.
The industry was developed on COM
mercial basis about three years ago.
and during the last two years has
been one of the leading agricultural
occupations of the state. These local.
tiles also produce carrots, peas, cauli-
flower and table beans on a less ex-
tensive scale.

this picked outfit Of fighting men,
This marine stuff is old stuff for an entirely
different reason--for two reasons. One is that
there was lot of fighting between June and
November IL, 1918. The other is that we are
now beginning to hear all about it. The point
is: While the marines kept right adding to
their laures and the regulars ran 'em dead

and staged some thrillers himself. National

they won it in the only way fighting man can
win 1t: You know how.
The German high command al the Spa in Bel
gium during the war studied the American SOL
dier systematically and thoroughly, and formally
wrote its conclusions into the official records.
Major Won Rundstendt, on General LudendOrffs
staff, has made public some of these official con-
illusions One is: 1.-THE Americans are very
brave and active, but highly temperamental.' He
explained this by saying that with the Americans
the fighting was a good deal of sporting propo-
venture and excitement possible out of it. Besides,
it was impossible to tell what the Americans
would do They might attack anywhere and any
time. They might get tired sitting around or
get peeyed at the mosquitoes or feel mad be-
cause their rations had not come up-then they
were apt to take it out on the enemy. Major Won
Rundstendt, asked to name offhand some of the
American divisions considered by the high COM
mand as among the best, replied:
sThe division which you call the Rainbow in
the sky Forty-second), and that division made
up half of marines (Second regulars; also the
Twenty-eighth pennsylvania National Guard),
and the First (regulars).n
When the high command records were examined
these divisions were also found included among
the most effective: Thirty second (AIichigan and
Wisconsin National Guard. Twenty-sixth (Nation-
al Guard, New England), Thirty-third (National
Guard, Illinois, Prairie). and Thirty-seventh (Na-
tional Guard, Ohio).

CHANGE IDEAS ON HIGHWAYS
Non Motoring Public No Longer Re
CARDS Good Roads as SpeedWays
for Fortunate Neishbors.

The public's conception of "goOd
roads" has undergone radical change
in the last two years.
Prior to the entry of the United
States into the world war, the nom
motoring American public, more often
than not, thought good roads were ad-
vocated chiefly for the benefit of their
more fortunate neighbOrs who owned
and drove their own motor cars
writes e. A. Williams, Jr., president
of large motor truck company. They
were inclined to regard good roads
laws as class legislation and were IN
willing for the most part to lend either
financial or moral support to the con-
struction and upkeep of something
from which they derived no direct
benefits so far as they could see.
The war merely FASTENED what
leaders of the industry had foreseen
for several years; it furnished the set
ting and the conditions which enabled
the truck to establish itself as a fac
tor in the economic life of the coun-
try.
The non-motoring public no longer
looks upon good roads as ''speedways"
for the motoring "aristocracy." 1t has
come to realize that motor trucks
are essential as transportation factors.
and that good roads are necessary to
the efficient operation of trucks. It's
vision has been broadened; it sees the
advantages and benefits which accrue
from combination of these factors
benefits which have direct bearing
upon the economic conditions of the
community.
1t sees the farm brought, one might
say, to the very table of the consumer;
it sees an ultimate decrease in food
prices; and, those who pause to con-
slider the matter further, see the ever
expanding range of possibilities of the
truck and it's ally, good roads.
With the universal recognition and
adoption of the motor truck the pub
lies conception of how roads should
be built also has undergone change.
Heretofore there has been a vast diff
ference between the average mans
idea of good roads and that of the
experienced engineer. The average
man was content TO build for the pres
emit; the engineer, as result of past
and not altogether satisfactory exper-
