The Star is in receipt of a very lengthy statement by Clarence Ousley, acting secretary of the U. s. Depart ment of Agriculture, in which he pleads with the people to eat more meat and save the cattle industry from ruin. And no doubt but the cat tie interests are camping on Mir. Gus ley's trail, insistently calling for help. But, aside from whether or not the people need more beef in their rations, there is great obstacle in the way of having it, and thereby helping the cattle interests-and that obstacle is the price they must pay for the meat. It ;s conceded there is d vast expanse between the price the stockmen gets and the consumer pays, but what can the average in the latter class do about it.

In Polk county alone there are go- ing to waste at this time, ripening and dropping to earth, thousands up- on thousands of gallons of the finest berries in the land. The huckleberries are about gone, and the blackberries are following. Our people have put away for winter what they could, but one can but regret that the other thousands of gallons could not have been saved for the sake of those folks who live where they cannot get such luxuries.

SPECIAL SUBSCRIPTION OFFER.

In the face of higher prices for ev- erything that goes into printing q newspaper--including what the news paper owner must buy for his own use-The Star is being offered up to December l, 1919, for 50 cents.
 And There's a reason"
 In the first place. the past year has been hard one for Polk county farm CTS. Crops were short last year, and many Polk county man who never before bought feed has had to do so this season. This certainty has made money scarce with some who will be glad, however, to keep The Star com ing until fall at reduced rate.
 Then, as matter of choice, The Star prefers to have aspirations come due in the fall--because it is easier for subscribers to pay at that time. This is accomplished, to some extent, by giving the special offer to Decem- Der l.
 From all indications the day has past when legitimate county news paper can be issued at less than $1 a year. In fact, the tendency is to- wand s2, and the prices prevailing on other things fully justify it.
 Print paper, a great part of the cost, remains at practically double the old price. Labor, another big item, is also very much higher, and hard to secure. All sorts of materials and machinery are so high as to star tie the old-timer. A job press that q short time ago was sold at $l75, now is quoted at $322 plus 10 per cent, or $354. And freight and ex- press charges add to the increased cost.
 And when the editor has to have a load of wood he is called on to dig up $2.50 or $3, while in the good old days many man was willing to leave q load of wood for the paper year, or at most for 50 cents to boot. Now the wood man expects the paper TWO years for load of wood. And the farmer used to be glad to get Ioc a pound fer his cured meat, but now wants 25c or more, and gets it.
 Ike facts are that the dollar, as a medium of trade is not what it used to be. It will not buy as much as it once did for the newspaper subscrib- CT or the publisher, or in most any ctber place.
 And the newspaper or the mer- chant who buys on the present basis and continues to sell on the old basis will quickly go out of business.

Lower Prices on Wheat.

The first ray of hope for those who have
found the cost of living burdensome-and who
has motifs furnished by Food Administrator
Barnes, who says lower prices on wheat, all the
way from the farm to the dining table are in
sight This does not mean that the farmer is
to suffer, for the government guarantee protects
him, but the new crop, soon to. start from the
Texas fields and proceed progressively up to
Canada, will bring lower level to the con-
sumner. Millers and bakers have agreed they
will not prohteer as grain becomes cheaper, but
will give the public the benefit. This will in a
measure affect all prices on staple products.
How far the recession from the present high
level will be carried may not be guessed at, but
it is certain that dollar will be worth more
than its weight in food before great while
Once the process Of readjustment is well set in
operation, activities now suspended or held in
check will be liberated, and the compensating
effect of the demand will be sufficient to check
any tendency to panic as prices find new
balance.

China, Stand I'm

China is much fused up overswhat has hap
pened to its province of Shantung in the peace
conference Germany had virtually appropri-
ated the province before the war. And now
Japan has taken it away from Germany and no.
body is on hand to get it back for China. If
this fireside companion were conducting little
class on international relations it would call on
China to stand up and would then address it as
follows
cts pretty tough. China, and we Americans
are sorry for you. We had much rather Japan
hadn't done it. But that's as far as our SYM
pathy goes. We demonstrated with Japan in
the secrecy of the peace conference and said
the grab didn't harmonize with the IA points
at all But that's all the good it did. Japan was
polite but firm
while we sympathize deeply with you we
don't see our way clear to go out and get shot
at on your behalf. That sort of thing would be
noble, but it isn't being done this season. In
the long run Heaven helps those who help
themselves. When you have developed suffi-
ciently, as you will some day, you will take back
Shantung and we shall all cheer Meanwhile we
should advise you not to put too much con-
fidence in what the league of nations or any
other philanthropc organization will do for you
what you do for yourself you can be sure
OF What you expect somebody else to do for

HARMONY AMONG REPUBLICANS.

News that Senator Cummins has been chosen
by unanimous vote Of the republican caucus to
be president pro tempote of the senate in the
Sixty-sixth congress will not cafry any comfort
to the democrats. Nor will the retention of
Senator Lodge as leader Of the senate
This action by the republicans is significant,
for it means that personal likes and dislike are
to be set aside for the general good of the
country. Senators are not asked to abandon
positions taken and held on certain matters, nor
to yield their convictions under party pressure.
They are animated by patriotic desire to serve
the nation, and to present a solid front to the
opposition, which has abandoned all consider
alton OF the country's welfare in a scramble for
personal and party advancement.
Differences as to details of policy, either for
the nation or the party, are not finally disposed
OF by this agreement between the republicans.
but whatever they may be, they are not to be
pressed to the end of dsrupting the party at
time when its existence is such distinct adj
vantage to the country as whole. Problems
Of utmost gravity, not only to America, but
affecting the world in general, will be before
the congress that meets next Monday, and it is
vitality essential that it be organized and con-
trolled by the party that is to be responsible
for its acts The selections announced assure
unity of action by statesmen who are devoted to
the great task of reconstruction and not with an
eye to party chances for the future.
