Hoarding of food by wholesale dealers and
branches Of the packing houses have been discov-
cred to be common in large cities. Stocks of food
held in the big cities are declared in some cases
to be double the amount held year ago. In ST..
Paul the amount of butter held is so per cent
greater than last year. Of other commodities,
there is double and treble last years holdings be-
ing kept back from the regular channels of trade.
Ohio state investigators have found that
100000 pounds of food stored in Cleveland
have been hauled back and forth between
Cleveland and Chicago several times. And the =
price of this Handling" is tackled onto the
price of the food when the consumer gets it! II

FOOD WASTED TO
CREATE SHORTAGE

Nor is this condition excep-
tional. Fruit growers of the
Northwest know that the COM
mission men limit their buy
ing. Bushels of apples spoil
or are fed to the hogs, while
in the East there is an actual
scarcity Of fruit. In Califor-
mia tons of cantaloupes are
slashed and thrown into the
sea. In Wisconsin carloads of
potatoes are dumped on the
railroad rights of way and per-
mitted to rot. Year after year
this condition exists, and nei-
ther the producer nor the con-
sumner gains thereby. The
fruit grower Of the Northwest
is paid pitiful sum when his
harvest Of apples is large, but
the price is scarcely if ever
changed to the consumer.
Buyers have been known
, to contract for the prod
ucts in the field and have :
never taken their pur-
chases. The potatoes rot
ted. in the ground. This
fact has often been sub
stantiated, but always de-
MED by those responsible
for the abuse.

Iall ana the PROBABILITY OF a
real third party in the field,
it is even possible that some
real remedial legislation will
come out of the Investigations
that are now under way.
In Chicago last week there
was held a convention of dele
gates from 10 labor parties in
various states. It is the plan
of these labor men to put a
national labor ticket into the
field in 1920 and possibly NOM
mate a presidential candidate.
The new party will have as
one of its planks the govern
ment railroad ownership plan,
and probably will have some
thing to say about the high
cost of living.
Because of the strength of
this new movement, therefore,
both old parties are bending
their efforts to making a rec
ord in the cost Of living inves-
tigation and to pass legislation
that will benefit the people.
OF course, there is little likeli-
hood that congress will do any
thing that will be of really
permanent benefit. The agi-
tation, however, has given the
Kenyon-Anderson packing
measure an undoubted addition
of strength and there is every
prospect that this bill to IL
cense the great packing indus
tries will pass both houses.

SATURDAY EVENING POST MAN
MISSED SEEING SEA SERPENT

Peter Clark MacFarlane, a special
writer for the Saturday Evening
Post, visited Walker Lake and its
environs last Monday in search of
material for future articles for the
Post, say the Walker Lake Bulletin.
Mr.. MacFarlane was brought over
from Tonopah by ]. H. Miller, who
absented himself from his pressing
mining business long enough to show
the writer some of the scenery. Al
though the sea serpent failed to put
in an appearance, Mr.. MacFarlane is
said to have been very favorably i'm
pressed with the lake. Other mem
bers of the party who spent the day
at the lake were Alvey Miller, Harvey
Miller. and two of the most famous
local naturalists, Joe Jones and Bob
Young.

OLD K[ONDYKE NOW
CONSIDERED DIVIDE

An editorial in the Tonopah Times
gives a still broader view of POSSIBLE
titles around the Divide. Apparently
the boom is but starting. See: THE
expanse of the Divide district as a
mineral region of richness seems to
have no limit. Prospectors are still
combing the hills in every conceiv-
able direction and locations are be-
ing made by the hundreds. 1t seems
like this long-neglected section of the
universe had been held in reserve by
the Creator for this time, that new
activities might be brought about
which would enrich the Golfers of
the world and at the same time fur
nish employment for the thousands
of men who must be provided with
some means of earning a livelihood.
1.-THE activity that has manifested
itself in what was formerly classed
as the Klondyke district is gratifying
to every person who has pinned his
faith to the mining fields of southern
Nevada; and the fact that property
has suddenly grown in great demand
presages a long season of prosperity.
within the last week or two inn
portant mining transactions in the
Klondyke-better call it Divide, be-
cause it is so recognized-have been
consummated, each of which calls for
approximately $4,000. This is only
the forerunner of what the future
holds in store, and transfers of
claims will unquestionably be fire.
quent during the next few weeks.
Large development is promised,
not only for the Klondyke. but for
every other section of the Divide dis
trict. What is known as the Wing
field Divide locality, lying on the
northeast slope of Gold Mountain,
reached by following the old Gold
field road. has gained in popularity
of late, and transfers of property are
in the making. This section will
unquestionably receive a great deal
Of attention at the hands of mining
men during the next few months, in
view of the wonderful surface show
ings that are in evidence. and which
merit attention on account of the dis
coveries that have been made"
