Sacks Not Standard.

A sack-the unit of measure in some
sections-is not definite and cannot be
made so, except by legal enactment,
standardizing the volume and then, In
turn, standardizing the weight per
volume for the different commodities.
Oranges and apples are thought about
and talked about In boxes, dried fruits
in pounds or tons, and 1t is doubtful If
custom will permit of material
change. In handling green fruits in
large quantities the ton is the most
practical unit of measure, but for
small quantities the lug box is in gen.
eral use. AS the lug box varies in size
from 80 to 40 and so to 60 pounds,
there is more or less confusion unless
market quotations are made on the
basis of lug boxes of specific sizes.
The central or hundre6weight ap-
pears to be the most practical unit of
measure and Is coming into general
use in the purchase and sale of grains
and vegetables. If the bulk handling
of grain becomes general, as now
seems likely, the sack will disappear,
and the central or bushel will take It's
place.

Only a presidential campaign
could demand the attention that the
president as we'll as the senators
expect to attract during the next
three weeks. And the presidential
campaign Of 1920 is not beyond the
minds Of any OF the democrats and
republicans.
Meantime the republicans are
keeping an interested eye on the ad-
ministration efforts 10 lower the cost
Of living. The justice department and
others combating the high prices
declare there will be no let-up,
merely because the treaty debate
may be attracting the major por-
tons OF attention.

WHEELING WILL GET GOV
ERNMENT FOOD

II appears that Wheeling is not to miss
some Of the advantages Of the distriou-
ton Of food supplies from the surplus
accumulation by tho war department.
In spite Of the legal limitations OF our
city charter, the method has probably
bean found by which a large quantity Of
the supplies can DO brought to Wheel
Ing and distributed to the Wheeling pub
lie under the supervision Of the city au-
thorities. The prices at which these sup
plies are to be had from the government
appear In another column in Tho In
tellisencer today and these prices, plus
the small cost Of freight and handling.
will represent the exact cost to the con-
sumner. The prices indicate reduction
from prevailing prices In the local mar
ket
The fact that the government has &C
cumulated such an enormous quantity
Of foods and has Systematically with
held them from the market for the past
several months Is a disturbing reflection
upon the good sense and good faith Of
the war department. In response TO an
overwhelming demand, some eoo.Ooo.Oo0
million cans OF food products. at the
value OF approximately 100000, ooo. orc
being placed upon the market. 1t is hard
10 estimate the effect on prices which
the withdrawal from the market Of this
enormous quantity OF foods has had.
Certainly il has been no small factor in
increasing costs.
