Dick Roe's Sunday Smoke.

II Jennie Doe can, as she does fifty
two times a year, lay in enough meat
and vegetables, butter and eggs,
spices and condiments on Saturday to
feed her family at Sunday breakfast,
dinner and supper and Monday break
fast, Dick Roe ought to be able to
remember to buy sufficient tobacco on
the same Saturday to keep him in
smokes until the morning of the sec
ond day. Mr.. Dough, Of course, has
humidors full Of the weed he would
count 1t beneath his dignity to run
around the corner for half a dozen
stogies for unexpected callers Mr..
Doe should have the same feeling.
Masculine carelessness and lack of
foresight have kept thousands Of to-
bacco shops, large and small, open on
Sundays and ten OF thousands Of
clerks at work seven days In the week.
One Of the great corporations which
minister to smokers has now decided
that this unnecessary labor shall no
longer be performed In its shops. It's
patrons must stock up on Saturdays
or 60 without their accustomed
smokes. They should not go elsewhere.
The cases In this company's stores
will be closed. Its front doors will
be barred and locked. The IMPROVE
dent will try the latch in vain. Some
thousands Of Industrious clerks will
join the holiday makers. Each clerks
pockets will bulge with cigars, ciga-
rettes fine cut. plug or the pipe mix
ture that brings him contentment. A
good JOB for all 1t will be; no doubt
the important rivals OF this pioneer in
a sensible reform will promptly get In
line with progress.
In defence Of keeping tobacco shops
mt beaches and similar resorts open
on Sundays something may be said.
A man may drop his cigar case into
the water while boating: a Stacker
who neglected to provide against n
tobaccoless day may pick his upper
waistcoat pocket; his package OF
cigarettes may fall out Of his pocket
MS he loops the loop. just as women's
hairpins fall out in the Barrel of
Love. The victim Of such an accident
may be permitted to replenish his
reserves without censure. But home
bare Of tobacco will be a reproach to
Its master, and his fumings over his
fumelessness will arouse no sympathy
In the heart Of the philosophic OBJ
server who on Saturday bought provi-
IDENTIFY fer Sunday.
Those Jennie Does who enjoy a Gig
arctic do not forget to provide against
the hours when shops are shut. Dick
Roe should learn from them.

Let Those Who Screwed Up Food
Costs Screw Them Down.

The Washington Administration
screwed up the cost Of all food when
It nailed the price Of wheat high
above Its real value. We mean, Of
course. when It nailed up that price
to the consuming public.
Because the United States Govern
ment must buy all the farmers wheat
on the basis of $226 the Washington
Administration is trying to sell that
wheat to the American consumer at
grossly inflated figures as II there were
a wheat famine, when there will be
on Its hands at least half a billion
bushels of wheat which this country
cannot consume and the greater part
Of which the Government will never
be able to sell abroad.
When the Washington Administra-
tion nailed up the price Of wheat at
such an abnormal level 1t automati-
cally elevated the prices Of corn and
other grains. And when the Wash
ington Administration did that thing
it doubled and trebled general food
costs; for virtually all the food that
man, woman or child eats 10 nothing
but grain. The man eating beef at
his dinner table eats condensed grain.
The baby at Its bottle in the crib eats
condensed grain. The steer that
gives the beef, the cow that gives the
milk, the hen that lays the egg are
mike fed and fattened on grain.
When the Washington Administra-
tion nailed up the price Of wheat 1t
screwed up the price Of labor, for
labor had to have more and more
wages to pay the grossly excessive
food prices which were made by the
Washington Administration when II
made the grain prices. And when the
Washington Administration screwed
up the price Of labor it screwed up
the cost Of every single thing that is
made by labor.
The Washington Administration
need not search the country over, It
need not search one foot beyond its
own doorstep, for the cause of the
fearful cost of living which, from hav-
ing become a discomfort. now grows
to be a menace to the country.
Until the Washington Administra-
tion knocks from under the wheat
market the props which the Wash
ington Administration itself has set
up and still holds in place, or until
somebody knocks them out, the cost of
living In this country will not come
down and cannot come down. Unless
the Washington Administration or
somebody knocks out those props
from under the wheat market the
cost Of food. the cost Of all living, will
90 still higher. Then the job will be
done by political dynamite.

impossible to do the work or the busi-
ness at profit. There may be no
income tax for the same reason. But
there must be the wage cost. The
wage cost, whether there are profits
or no profits. taxes or no taxes, must
be the determining factor Of the gen.
eral cost Of production.
But the basis Of the general wage
must be the cost of living. The basis
Of labor's cost Of living Is the cost OF
food. The basis Of the cost of food Is
grain. When the price of wheat and
the price Of corn are held up, as they
are held up In this country by the
Washington Administration, at more
than twice their normal level--in the
case Of corn more than three times
Its normal level--the costs Of beef,
mutton, pork. poultry, eggs, milk,
butter and cheese are correspondlngly
held up by the same force. When the
cost Of all food is thus held up the
whole cost of living is likewise held
up; for the Increased wage which
must 60 to labor to take care Of its
increased cost Of food must 60 into
the cost Of production of shoes made
by labor. into the cost Of production
Of clothes made by labor, into the cost
Of production Of houses made by la
Dor, into the cost Of production Of
every single thing made by labor.
Cumulative food costs, iterated and
reiterated In cumulative labor costs,
must run through all production from
raw material coming out Of the earth
to the finished article moving through
the mill or factory. going into the
shops and then passing on to the con-
sumner. It must be the same for the
egg on a mans breakfast table, for
the coat on his back, for the roof over
his head.

The despatch Of an Allied represen-
tation to Budapest and the demands

seem to have resulted only In BELA
KUN's efforts to increase his auto
cratic control. He fell back upon the
Red Army. but as this force was al
ready weakened by quarrels among
Its commanders and lack Of food sup
plies and ammunition It refused to
support him. No course was left for
him except to resign and seek a safe
conduct out Of the country.
With the collapse Of bella KUN's

that his chief task will be to preserve
