The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1919-07-26

The enterprising Chicago Daily Trib-
une recently had an interesting and
Illuminating article on surplus food
supplies in the United States. Any
one who buys food, or even eats food,
cannot help but profit from the infor-
nation compiled by Charles N. Wheel
er, one of the Tribune's trained
writer's. Here it is, just as written,
viz:
Wheeler's Startling Figures.
Of the tens of millions of dollars
worth of surplus supplies, principally
foodstuffs, which the United States
now owns, there are millions sof tins of
vegetables. Uncle Sam is in a quand-
airy as to whether to dump these sup
plies on the market at the risk Of de-
moralizing business, even though the
high prices should come down as re-
suit
An inventory of surplus supplies
was made Feb. last. Only bulk sup
plies of cost value in excess Of
100000 were listed in this class. That
is, depots in which less than 100000
worth of canned products were stored
were not included.
But in the list of the larger quaint
ties on hand, none of which, according
to the latest reports, has been dis
posed of thus far, were the following:

A PRESUMPTUOUS PLAYWRIGHT

"But the piece was success" pro-
tested the playwright.
"Undeniably," replied the naughty
prima donna.
"Yet, you act as if I deserve no
credit at ALL
"Nature gave me my figure, sir,
and you had no hand in designing my
costume. "-Birmingham Age-Herald.

Some of the goods have been de-
teriorating, it is understood, particu-
larly the canned salmon. Some of the
salmon was reported unfit for use
while the war was on.
But the 22S,394,6 15 cans of vegeta-
bles and salmon are still in the gov
eminent storehouses.
The National Gamers association
took cognizance of this enormous pile
of foodstuffs on the government IS
hands, which, it feared, was likely to
be dumped on the market and disor-
ganize the canning industry this year,
if not almost ruin it.
The Gamers sent committee to
Washington to see what could be done
to keep these supplies from entering
into competition with this years pack.
On that committee were George G..
Bailey, chairman; R. I. Bentley, E. F..
Trego, w. c. Leitsch, and John s.
Gibbs.
United States Withdraws Offerings.
Later the National Gamers associa-
tion, from it's Washington bureau, is
sued "Bulletin No. 64,' with the no.
tation:
"Army has no surplus canned
goods; increased ration will require en-.
tire supply"
The Bulletin subsequently learned
"that small offerings were being made
by the army Of some stocks which
were held on railroad tracks on de-
murrage. Unfortunately, the offering
was so worded as to give the impress.
sion that the entire army surplus was
being offered.
GA committee of the National Can
ners' association met with army Off
cials on Feb. % and found the facts
as above stated. Upon presentation
Of the proposition Gen. Rogers, quar-
termaster general, ordered a with
drawal Of the offerings"

Subsequently Frank Gerber, presi-
dent of the National Gamers associa.
tion, made formal statement to Gen.
H. L. Rogers, which is in part, as fol-
lows:
!"We have considered the proposi.
ton from every angle which we have
been able to conceive, and any plan
or proposition for disposing Of these
supplies on the domestic market would
add to the present decentralization and
permits only the following conclusion:
"That an early and authoritative an.
nouneement be made that. the army
will have no canned peas, corn, toma.

mestic trade, except and until there
shall develop shortage in produc.

A FOOL AT THE SEASHORE

An ex-governor Of Iowa tells of his
experience at a New Jersey clam
bake.
Il began my speech" says he, "by
. stating that I had been enjoying thei,
low-necked clans. A long-faced old
codger across the table scowled and
said in stage whisper, Little necks,
not low necks.'
Il paid no attention to him, but af-
ter dinner he followed me out of the
hall. You don't have many clans
IN Iowa, I reckon he said. Well
replied, we have some, but it's
good way to the water and in driy-
ing them across the country their
feet get sore and they don't drive
very WELL Why, man, alive said he
CLANS haven't any feet!'
Soon after that he buttonboled
one of my friends. is that fellow gov
ernor of Iowa? he demanded. NV
friend admitted that l was. Well.
said the old fellow, perhaps he NAV
be smart man enough for Iowa. but

FOR FLORIDA

With an estimated production by
the field agent of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, of 100000
boxes of citrus fruit this winter. for
which there is fattering prospect
of a good price; with a probable in
flux of winter visitors exceeding all
previous records; with thousands of
carloads Of winter vegetables to be
sent north: with her cattle industry
going ahead by leaps and bounds,
with her hogs and her poultry bring
ing remunerative prices, Florida can
face the coming winter with conf
dence and satisfaction, Truly the old
state is at last coming into her own
Every succeeding year brings into
stronger relief the fact that Florida
is the one state in the union especial
~ favored by Nature and Providence.
We can look with complacency on
the bitter fights of capital and labor.
They may discommode and inconven-
fence us to certain extent, bur
whether the strikers are in steel or
IT. mines and however they may be
settled, they cannot bring hunger and
privation and suffering to our doors
as they can in less favored regions,
The warm sunshine and abundan.
rains acting on our fertile soil, under
the intelligent management of our
progressive farmers will insure us an
abundance of good things to eat with
o plentiful surplus to send to cur
friends in the north. Should a coal
famine" come as the miners threaten
It will bring no terror to our homes,
for coal is not necessity of our ex
istence. Old Sol will furnish most of
the heat we shall need through the
winter months, and there will be no
charge for transportation A railroad
strike cannot affect us, except as II
may keep those friends at home who
are now planning to come and enjoy
our blessings with us.
We might build a wall along our
northern boundary, impossible ever
by the birds, and still live and thrive,
OF what other state can it be said?
But we are not disposed to be sell
fish in the enjoyment of our bless
ings. We extend the glad hand Of
fellowship to our friends in the north
who dread the flying snow, the bitter
winds and the cruel ice Of winter and
make them welcome to our glorious
sunshine, our delicious fruits and
vegetables, and our long list of out
door sports. There is enough and to
spare for all who may come. The
invitation is freely extended. Come.

hal they could not bestow the honor
upon one more worthy of it.

OLD TIME FAVORITE PASSES
OVER.

For thirty years Susie Kirwin, one
of the most famous comedians of
her time, headed the Wilbur Opera
Company, an organization that gain
ed fame and some fortune in the the
atrical world. Paris theatre-gocer
will remember her as appearing here
at the old Odd Fellows Hall many
years ago. After an eventful career
on the stage Miss Kirwin died at her
home in Philadelphia few days ago.
She was possessed of a remarkably
sweet voice, which she knew how to
use to the best advantage in the
singing of light opera selections of
the day.

THE SAME OLD STORY.

The bull that tried to butt the
locomotive off the track had nothing
on the driver of an auto that plung-
ed into the city road roller on Main
street yesterday about noon. The big
road roller was standing on the side
of the street doing no harm, when
the little auto, which belonged to an
uptown garage, crashed into it. The
auto was wrecked, comparatively
speaking, while the willipus wallipus
and the auto driver escaped injury.
The wrecked machine was taken
back to the garage for repairs.
