The price descent continues, not
alone in grain and livestock. but in
other foodstuffs and wide range Of
commodities. Bradstreet's index
number has declined below $500. af-
ter having stood $3.50 on July 81.
Staple commodities widely used in
manufacture. like iron and steel, feel
the effects of agitation much less
than foodstuffs.
1t may be a fair question whether
the campaign against high costs is
not slowing down. Investigators
and fair price committees have en-
countered difficulty in locating bona
tide cases of profiteering, although
many doubtless exist. The move
mert has achieved results in curbing
flagrant protiteering, and halting the
recent unwarranted advance in
prices. 1t it initiates the downward
trend, which must develop in due
time, it will have accomplished
much.
The presidents speaking tour will

The national industrial conference

from conflict and compromise. let il

Reports conflict as to the supposed
coal shortage. While conceding that
prophecies of famine have been in

and thus increase production--meet-
ing an anticipated, rather than a
present, shortage - coal operators
charge that cars are short and may
restrict the coal movement later on.
Director Hines counters sharply,
stating that the railroads are equip

mage, while they may have difficulty
if operators permit a congestion of
shipments to occur this fall.

department of Agriculture has veri-
fed the truth of reported damage
from the high percentage of borax
contained i'm Searles Lake potash.
The percent of borax commonly
reached 10 per cent. and i'm some tests
even rose as high as 90 per cent.
Nevertheless, ii remains a fact that
low-cost sources of good potash in
this country should be developed.
The United States must never be
wholly, or chiefly, dependent upon
a foreign power-Germany especial
ly-for this commodity which plays
so determining a part in food sup
ply. German potash mines are said
to have increased in number during
the war, despite serious impairment
to almost every other industry, and
German leaders doubtless hope TO re-
establish their coveted monopoly.

FEW PACKAGES
NOW GO TO NO
MARK BUREAUS

That the campaign for better pack
ing and marking of express shipments
has achieved concrete results was in
dictated by the reports made at the bet
ter service meeting of local express
employees yesterday. Agent F. NJ. H.
Mcdonald announced that not only
were packages being received in better
condition for shipment, but that there
was noticeable falling off in the
number of consignments sent to mo
Mark bureaus of the express COM
pany.
Before the drive, at least $500
packages of all conceivable kinds and
sizes, he said, were received by these
dead letter. offices of the business,
but already this figure had been cut
in half, and there was every reason to
expect that it would be brought down
to a negligible quantity.
-Four Minute speeches, urging the
expressmen to live up to the new slo-
gan of better service" were a fea-
ture of the meeting, which was the
last of the campaign.
The Better Service campaign COM
mittee formed among the local force
and composed of Miss Glover ]. w
Short and W. H. Pantone, had an op-
portunity of telling their fellow work
ers what they had done during the
campaign and why they believed that
the results of the cooperation ex-
tended to them by the shippers would
be far reaching. The purposes of the
campaign it was stated, will always be
a dominant policy of the company in
accepting business in the future
Proper packing and correct marking
Agent Mcdonald declared, will always
be required, when shipments are ac-
cepted by the express service for
transportation. This, he added would
themselves, as we'll as to that of the
express company.
1t was intimated that the express
workers will not be allowed to lei
their efforts for better service and
with this particular drive. Within a
month their attention will be centered
upon correct methods in making out
express receipts. The express com
pany will conduct another national
campaign, chiefly among its own en-
ployes in every city and town in the
country, to standardize and improve
receipting methods.
Agent Mcdonald desires to thank
the shippers TO their hearty co-opera-
ton and to assure them that he appre-
ciates it.

The director spoke on two occa-
sions of the the wonderful value of
education and the great need for i'm
provcment along this line.
Miss Maltby spoke of the home
care of the sick, of the need of in
struction for the children, as well as

great good she could do and how
